EAT HORSE. SAYS EXPERT.
Declares It's the Best Meat and Least
 Likely to Be Diseased.

New Haven, Aug 25.-Professor William H. Brewer, for years one of the most prominent professors of the s.leffleld Scientific school, astonished his Yale friends and the horso q ttors who have been attending the na- tional convention of the veterinary surgeons in this city for the past week by coming out at the banquet of the doctors in favor of horse flesh as food.
 I want to see the time come when horse meat will be freely eaten and asked for; and this applies to mule meat, too," said Professor Brewer. There is less chance of disease in the use of horse meat than from that of any other animal. Fatten the old horse as you do the Ufd COW and then eat him. It will bring comfort to the horse in his old age and will greatly creapen the price of meat. -
 "There is absolutely no objection to the horse as an article of food ex- cept that which has been raised on account of religious prejudice. There is no better meat nor any more fit to eat. In all the countries on the Eu- ropean continent, horse flesh is used as food. Horses are fattened for mar ket like other animals and the meat is wholesome and good.
 Tn Paris and other large cities there are restaurants which sell only horse flesh, but the law compels all meat from the horse to be so adver- tised when sold. under penalty of heavy fines.
 "I have eaten horse in several of these restaurants and I have never had more wholesome or finer tasting meat. Popular sentiment against horse flesh as food is no reason for not using 1t, and under proper sur veillance the custom could be intro duced in this country. It would not take long to bring the public around"

Stars and Stripes Flying.

Havana, Aug 25.-The stars and stripes are flying conspicuously from points of vantage on American owned properties throughout the disturbed district. Scrupulously respected by both the government forces and the rowing bands of insurgents, the em- blem of the United States Is perhaps exerting moral influence over sober minded Cubans. Senator Norma Campos MarQueti. liberal, who has espoused the cause of the insurgents, has publicly advocated the appoint ment by President Roosevelt of a commission to investigate the charges of fraud in connection with the last election. Other prominent men indorse the idea. To-day's early advices from Pinar del Rio and vicin- ity indicate that the outcome of the expected battle between the govern ment troops and the insurgents under Pino Guerra is more in doubt than the officials at the palace are willing to admit. Guerra is believed to have nearly or quite 1000 men who can be depended upon. They are report cd to be we'll equipped with arms and ammunition. It is suspected that the insurgent leaders withdraw al from San Luis and San Juan was ruse to attract the government troops from their base at Pinar del Rio. A sudden descent upon Pinar del Rio in the event that Palma's troops do not take an early offensive
 would not surprise those seemingly we'll informed. The city has less than 1000 armed defenders and the strength of the civilian loyaoy is in doubt
 So far there has been no serious Manifestation in the cities, but in the surrounding districts where the peo- pie are less in touch with official life | the situation so far as can be learned | is not reaaspripg.
 Government agents are sailing to- day for the United States to pur-
 chase horses.
