SHORT OF FOOD IN SANTIAGO.
supplies From America Awaited with
Much Anxiety Good WORK by Miss


Santiago dc CUBA July 23.-No provision
laden vessels have arrived here since the
surrender Of the city or for a long time
before the capitulation, except the Red
cross steamer State of Texas, and food
continues to be very scarce. AS result
prices are very high and it IS only the
rich who are able to secure any OF the
scanty supply Of food in the city.
There is much suffering among the poor
but their distress would be far greater
were it not for the noble WORT that is be-
ing done by Miss Clara Barton. The poor
are depending entirely upon the Red Cross
for their support, ard Miss Barton Is do
inE everything in hcY power to relieve
their distress Her efforts to alleviate the
suffcrngs of the starving people are APP
prcciatcd by Spdniards and Cubahs alike,
and she Is blessed on all sides.
1t is hoped that supplies of food viii
soon reach here from the United States.
\ hummer Of dealers have already cablcd
to their correspondents directing the ship
mcnt of Hour CornmcHl, bacon, lard and
other staple supplies, and their arrival Is
eagerly awaited as 1T is believed that up
on their receipt prices will resume their
norma! level. The fact that tn" minimum
Spanish tariff Is to be imposed on all i'm
ports will tend to make food products
here cheaper than ever before, as soou
as a sufficient supply is received. The i'm
port duties on American products under
the SPANISH administration were excess
sivc and caused great enhancement, in
.,Cmc cases as much as from 30 to % per
