Plenlifiil in Havana, Scores
Starve to Death
EACH DAYS HONRORB
Food Cant be Had For Love or
Money-
New York, Augunt 4. —Accounts
of the condition of affairs in Ha
vana, Matanzas and Cardenas were
given yesterday by passengers of
the steamer Ei'dtjof Nansen,from
Sagna.
She trough* twenty-nine refu
gees, most of whom were Span
iards, who had made all sorts of
sacrifices to escape from the island
in anticipation of its becoming
controlled by the insurgents.
Many of them were well supplied
with funds, having turned all
their available property into cash
They paid S2OO each for passage.
Almost all those aboard being
Spanish sympathizers, a meeting
was held in 'he saloon while the
ship was off Barnegat, N. J., at
which a majority pledged them
selves to refuse to give any infor
mation to Ameicans regarding the
condition of things in Cuba. A
saw, however, consented to talk
after they had got ashore, but even
they were very unwilling ,t° per
mit their names to Da used .
One woman wtio had reached
Sagna by rail from Havana said
that the conditition of affairs in
the capital was deplorable and
was daily growing worse.
“There is plenty of money,”sh*
said, “but of what use is it, when
it will hardly purchase anything?
It is impossible to get beef at any
price, and even horse fl uh costs
$1 a pound. Bread costa 26 cent?
a pound, and is very bad at that,
and eggs which are brought from
the country in small quantities,
costs 35 cents each. The supply of
condensed milk is practically ex
hausted, and the little left is sold
at $2 for a can such as you buy
here for 10 cents.
“On an average ten to twelve
persons are found dead of starva
tion in the streets every day, and
this takes no account of the scores
who dai'y die of hunger in the
houses. No wordscan describs the
horrors of Los Fosses, the place at
the foot ol the Prado, where th*
wretched reconcentrados are her
ded together.
1 was told that there were no
less than 4.000 of these miserable
people in ths place when I come
away, and they are dying by hun
dreds for. of course, nothing is be
ing done for their re ief, when the
government has not enough food
for its own seldiers. Worse than
this, the officials beat and sbus“
them shamefully.
“A few gas lamps are still burn
ing in the streets, but the electric
lights are only lit on Thursday
nights, when there is music in the
Parque Central.
What a ghastly mockery those
band concerts are with so many
people starving Io death within
sound of music. All the theaters
are closed, and their lobbies are
nightly crowded with the home
less poor. Wine is the only thing
in the city that is plentiful and
cheap, so that even the poor can
ge' a little at times.
“Almost all the stores in Wey
ler and O’Reilly streets are closed
as are all the principal hotels. Th*
stock of coal is almost comple ely
exhausted, and for a few days the
local trains that run to the 4Veda
do, past the Santa Clara battery,
were stopped for want of fuel-
They are now burning wood but
even that will soon be gone.”

IRON RING
On Finger of La Soilrgngne
Victim.
HIAWATfIfI EXPEDITION
Body of Gray-Haired Woman
Recovered.
New York, Aug. 4. —A telegram
received at the office of ex-Judge
John F. Dillon from Halifax today' :
stated that the body of a woman,
apparently 55 years of age, with
gray hair, had been recovered
among the bodies of those drown
ed when La Bourgogne was wreck
ed off Sable Island.
So far as the description goes it
answers that of Mrs. Dillon, who,
with her daughter, was lost on
the steamer, but the further states
meut that a diamond and an iron
ring were found on the fingers of
one hand makes the identification
doubtful.
With W. C, Perry, of Kansas
City, who lost a son and three
daughters by the sinking ot La
Bourgogne, Mr. Dillon chartered
the British steamer Hiawatha at
Halifax and had her fitt°d out for
the work of recovering the bodies
of the membersof their families.
Lawyer Clay was placed in charge
of the expedition, which has al
ready been off Sable Island and
at work for several days past.
— —... Women nowi,
. days do not have
—— -oa.— A* to use a stream of water
for a looking - They have modern
mirrors that will tell them very promptly
whether their beauty is fading. A wom
an’s beauty fades very rapidly if she is
troubled with some derangement of the
distinctly feminine organism Ignorance
or carelessness in this respect frequently
causes great suffering and irregularity in
after life. Little irregularities and weak
nesses in girlhood should be looked upon
promptly and properly treated at once.
Mothers cannot be too conscientious in
this respect, and cannot throw aside the
prudery that is so prevalent upon this point
too soon. Every young woman should
know something about her own physical
make-up, and the importance to her future
of her focal as well as general health. A
woman who suffers from weaknesses pe
culiar to her sex will rapidly lose her
beauty, her general health, her amiability
and her usefulness and capability as a wife
and housekeeper. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription promotes regularity of all fem
inine functions, gives sturdy health to the
distinctly feminine organism and prepares
it to meet the trials of wifehood and moth
erhood. The “Favorite Prescription” is
not a cure-all. It is intended for but one
class of disorders and is good for no other.
Taken during the period of gestation, it
makes parturition easy, and banishes the
discomforts of the expectant months. All
good medicine dealers sell it.
“ I wish to express ray thanks for the good I
have received from Dr’ Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription," writes Mrs. E. Scovil'. of Bolton,
Stephenson Co., Ills “ I have used it at differ
ent times for the-last eight years. It is the best
medicine for expectant mothers I never tried
it for that until ray last baby. I had, been very
bad, almost helpless. I could not get out of bed
alone, or even turn over. Ijist December I com
menced taking the ‘ Favorite Prescription.' and
could soon geiin and out of bed as well as at any
time. On March syth I gave birth to an eleven
pound boy without pain. and have since been as
well and nealthy as I ever was."

RELIABILITY
is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of in fcese
days of “yellow” journalism. They care little for truth
and a great deal for temporary sensation.
It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD.
The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability.
It prints the news—all the news—and tells the truth
* about it.
r, <•
It is the only American newspaper outside Nev York city
that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its
> own staff correspondents and artiste at the front in both
.« hemispheres.
It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world. a
Its war news service is unapproachably the best J|
Says the Urbana (Ill.) Daily Courier:
“We read the war news in the other papers, <
then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to
see how much of it is true.”
