the only one dramatic incident OF this

WOULD EAT HORSE MEAT.
Yale Professor Advocates Eating OF
Horsehesh as Wholesome.

NEW YORK, August 2i-A special to
the Herald from New Haven, Conn.,,
says;
Professor William IT. Brewer profess
sor emeritus in Sheffield Scientii School
of Yale, in q brief speech at the banquet
of the American Veterinary Medical
Association last night, advocated horse
flesh as food. About 30 years ago, Pro-
fessor Brewer predicted the coming Of
the two-minute race horse.
In his remarks last night he said the
race horse has about reached the limit
Of its possible speed development.
With regard to horses in general,
Professor Brewer said they are less
liable to disease than bovine cattle that
are now eaten for food and the only
thing which prevents the use Of the
flesh in this country Is prejudice and
lack Of knowledge Of its wholesomeness.

vana was fred on ny so insurgents
ambused behind a wall near Guines. The
recruits were routed. Three were killed
and six wounded.
Unofficial adyices from the Western
part Of Pinar del Rio province tonight
are that the insurgent forces now con.
centrating west of San Juan de Mar
tinez, are far more formidable than was
supposed and are better supplied for
long and aggressive campaign. A
prominent resident OF Havana whose
word is beyond question returned this
evening from three days tour in the
vicinity of San Luis and San Juan de
Martinez. He informed the Associated
Press that Guerrera's following Is now
from 1900 to 1000 men. He said the
idea of his not having ammunition
enough was ridiculous and that he was
abundantly supplied with every neces,
sity.
The behavior Of his forces Is excel
lent. He said the insurrectionists had
eight mules loaded with dynamite and
they had lately received supplies from
an unknown source. He positively de-
clared that fully 100 members of the
rurals had deserted and joined the in
surrectionists and practically oil the
Cubans in Western Cuba were sympa-
thizes with the movement. The gov
ernment's extra expense since August
10th, has been 100000. Critics of the
government privately ridicule the plans
of the government to bring rapid fire
guns to the island. asserting the eS-
periences Of the Cubans with these guns
had proved their uselessness. They ad-
nit however their value for protecting
cities and highways,

genuine patriotism, but the govern
ments offer Of two dollars day for

than slow response. Many are inter
