QUIET IN MEXICAN CAPITAL
But Residents of City Continue to
Suffer from Lack of Food
twenty-five Die Daily.

Washington, Aug 24-Rear Ad-
miral Mclean, commanding American
naval forces in Mexican waters. sent
a long wireless report to the navy de-
partment today on conditions at Vera
Cruz. He said no further anti-foreign
demonstrations had occurred since
the arrival of the battleshipS Louis
lana and New Hampshire.
The CarranZa agency here gave out
dispatches from Vera Cruz stating
that telegraphic communication had
been open since August Is between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City and as far
north as FreZnillo, town immediate
ly south of Torreon. 1t was said that
wire connection also had been re-
stored with San Luis Potosi, Monte
rey, Neuvolaredo, Tampico. Mata-
moros. Guadalajara, Manzanillo and
other important points.
In Mexico City the dispatches said
quiet prevailed and normal CONNER
cial ard industrial conditions had
been restored.
Mexico City, Aug. 24.-Deaths by
starvation continue in this city and
conservative estimates place them at
twenty-five a day.
A visit to the various hospitals by
representative OF the American ft0Q
Cross disclosed that for the first three
days of August, twenty deaths from
starvation were recorded. This num-
ber did not include the many who died
in the streets from lack of food. Yes
terday six death certificates attribut-
ed starvation as the cause.
During the month of July 1856
deaths were registered in Mexico
City. According to Charles ]. O'Con-
nor, of the American Red Cross, 8 per
cent of the deaths were due to star
vation. AS many deaths from starva-
tion are not properly authenticated.
it is believed that an average of twen-
ty-five daily from this cause is a con-
servative figure. The military author
tiles learned of Investigations made
by Red Cross workers and ordered
that hospital or cemetery officials
shall not make public statistics in the
future"
Efforts of the authorities here to re-
lieve distress have been of little or
no effect. School teachers, govern
ment employees and even employees of
the Beneficencia Publica, which cor
responds somewhat to the Central
Charity organizations of American
cities. were among those who have
made applications to the Red Cross
for assistance.

COLDS SIREN LURE FOR MEN
Hardship and Death Dared by Thou
sands That They May Gain
Riches Quickly.

It was in 1898 that the rush of gold
seekers to the Klondike reached its
flood. The ninety-eighters probably
never will know the fame of the forty
miners. but they have a place in the
long history of the gold hunters, the
men of all nations, ancient, medieval
and modern. The book has hundred
chapters telling of failure and of death
to every one hghtened with the story
of success.
H. NJ. Cadell recently visited the
Klondike and there made a study of
present conditions. He describes them
and adds an interesting account of the
early day rush to the Northwest terri
tory. The Smithsonian institution has
put Mr.. Cadell's report into print. 1t
is an interesting document Some of
the happenings in the Klondike were
duplicates OF like happenings in Cali
fornia and Australia during the first
years of the surface washing in those
fields. These Implications show that
human nature is unchanging-
Men went to the Klondike daring

seekers were quickly successful A

GERMANS CONTINUE To
BUY AMERICAN HORSES
How They Send Them Home Is
a Deep Mystery to Dealers.

Lincoln, Neb.-Representatives Of all
of the principal nations at war in Eu-
rope are combing the west for horses
for the armies. Several OF the horse
buyers bear titles; the majority of
them are men who have been at the
head OF great establishments In Bel
GUM and France, which formerly sup
piled America with draft horse stall
lions. One who was recently in Lin
coin was paid 81 a day and expenses
for his work. Before the war be drew
$4,000 a year as manager of a great
breeding stable in Normandy.
How the few German buyers get
their purchases through is a mystery,
and they refuse to elucidate. They
make it plain that that is their own
business, and they keep on buying.
Some Of the largest dealers in this
section have been asked to bid on "A
$4,000 head shipment for the German
government payable by drafts on New
York.
In the beginning spectators and
business men jumped into the game,
taking large contracts or subcontracts.
The ruling prices for the grades de-
sired were $3.50 and $175, subject TO
inspection, which was very rigid, and
a large portion of each shipment was
rejected. Rather than carry these back
to the west the dealers sold them at
the points OF shipment for what they
could get.
That there are horse traders In Eu-
was proved by the fact that a number
OF these rejected animals were ship
ped to Europe, the purchasers being
government agents, who took this
means OF showing American dealers
some tricks in horse buying, purchas-
ing In the guise Of contractors who de-
sired the animals for the northwest.
The fact that the greater part of the
supply In the west has already been
purchased or is In the hands OF specu-
lators, holding for the raise they feel
certain will come with a continuance
OF the war, has led to a letting down
Of the inspection bars. Hundreds of
animals that formerly would have not
received a second look are now going
through. The stable boys say that
the fat ones are given the preference.
White and gray horses are taboo
because they are shining marks on the
battlefield. The one thing the buyers
are particular about is the wind. They
require swift galloping for a block or
two before the inspector decides.
