Vienna, Aug. s.-After a special
investigation among the agricultural
laborers in eastern Galicia, the Neue
Freie Presse draws a gloomy pic
ture of the miserable conditions
which led to the existing strike. The
average mortality from famine for
several years past, according to the
Neue Freie Presse, aggregated $4,000.
Laborer's wages range from s to 10
cents a day and women earn from 4
to cents day. The peasants rare
ly taste bread and exist chiefly on a
soup, the principal ingredients of
which are water and herbs.
A dispatch on June 80 said that a
great strike of agricultural laborers
was in progress in Galicia, the labor
ers demanding an increase in wages
Of six cents day for men and three
cents day for women TO double that
amount. A dispatch on August 5 re-
ported there had been many conflicts
between the striking peasants and
the military. A dispatch to the Lon
don Daily Express on August 6 said
that in one encounter between the
strikers and the military, 13 persons
were killed and that in another case
200 persons were killed or wounded.

Havana, Cuba, Aug. 5.-President
Palma is placed between the sword
and the wall by the suggested inter-
vention of the United States to re-
quire compliance with the Platt
amendment in the matter Of the pro-
posed national loan. With the Platt
amendment on the one side and the
Cuban congress and the people on
the other, he win encounter Difficult
ties in either direction The sub
stance of the national loan bill was
discussed at the palace and in the
house before IL was approved by the
senate. The congress Of the United
States, not having approved reciproc-
ity, cannot prevent cubans seeking
money to face the existing crisis and
pay recognized and valid debts.
1t is the intention of Cuba to ne
gotiate a proper loan In the United
States. The bonds win be payable in
American gold, and are 20 be adver-
tised in New York. There is no in
tention to contract debts with Eu-
rope, which might cause difficulties

is believed that the loan proposition
can be brought within the provisions

dent Palma to veto the bill. II Is
also thought that an effort Is being

aiming to prevent the placing Of the
new bonds except at a rtdnously low
price and by certain persons who
are vainly trying this method to
force a petition for annexation. The
national loan bill, as approved by the
senate, recognizes the bonds Of the
former Cuban republic of 1s6s. No
bounties are proposed to be given TO
anybody. Competent lawyers here
say that, II the senate bill Is ap-
proved by President Palma and a
stamp tax is enacted before contract
ing the loan, the bonds will be legal
and can be placed.
