iroim m 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.” For Sale: 7 fine milk cows- Apply to G-.

Write to-day. 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." LETTERS OF ADM IN IST RA TION. GEORGIA FLOYD COUNTY.
