The deaths among this population from January 5 to Novem- ber 26, 1897, reached only 1,142, as against 147 the previous y: Madruga had a town population of 2,289 and the country around it had 5,833 inhabitants. Out of the 8.122 people in this district 2,751 died be- twen New Year and Thanksgiving day. or rather November 25, for they have no Thanksgiving day in Cuba. The lack of one is not felt this year. In 1896 the deaths in Madruga and surrounding country were nearly 300, but the average annual rate for the five years previous was 247. Similar Mortality in Other Villages. A similar mortality is shown in other vil- lages, and it keeps up actively. An Ameri- can who was in the hamlet of Palos a fortnight ago told me of seeing the death cart pick up five bodies on the streets. In Guines at this writing the record of deaths is close to a round 7,000. Naturally the question will be asked whether any remain. Not enough to cause the conservative bust Less tnterests-in the United States to shiver with the fear that motives of hu- Tanity may yet compel the American com- monwealth to interfere. In the interna- national sense not enough of the country pecple of Cuba are left to make their fate of sufficient importance to compensate the |’ Urited States. for the financial harm which the conservative business interests would suffer by trouble with Spain. Humanity might have had some place in the Ameri- can policy. toward Cuba a year ago. It is no longer so. All that now remains is to look to the industrial and agricultural con- ditions to determine when natural product- iveness may again create wealth and com- merce again bring profit to the states. But while the present situation does not justify following the instincts of sympathy in national policy, there is a remnant of the country people who need succor. The sense of overwhelming woe which the fig- ures show should not forbid their closer study. And here, in the presence of the misery that still has being, the future can be understood. The fractional labor quan- tity may be conserved, its energies nursed back to strength and something saved for the equation in political economy. Given the soil, find the arms that are to till it. With this practical end in view I have taken pains to personally look into what is doing and what must be done. The two reconcentrado settlements of the town are in good sanitary state. They are not over- crowded. Death has thinned the tenants of the palm “‘bohios” or huts. The inmates are mostly women and children. The few men among them take alms with the grati- tude of the helpless. Their appearance shows that it is a genuine inability to work. Time ard regular nourishment are both needed to build up their wasted frames. Proclamations of what the gov- ernment contemplates will not do {t. Thi reconcentrados are sick and must be nu ed back to physical strength. They need both food and medicine, regularly, syste- matically and for months to come. Effect of Political Changes, T am ready to believe that the political changes have caused an improvement. Private charity is supported by more ac- tive municipal co-operation. The new au- lcalde, Tomas Garcia, has been in office a fortnight and has given energetic fnistration witain the limi Ie ss. In the Ide’s comp ! the local institutions, including the nd military hospitals. The town had commodious asylum, as it was called, buflt by private subs: The military authorities took that as a hospital for the soldiers. The regula hospital was ap- ropriated in the same also the school house. The people of Guines then put up a building a little distance out of town. For an emergency structure {it answers the pur- pose w rhe “wards” are two large reonis, separated by a wooden partition, one for the male patients, the other fo women and ch'ldren. Those who: does not require them to see of a reconcentrado hospital may ful for what they are spared. is not to describe this one at Guines, a glance at whose inmates tells the whole ory of the concentration policy, but to i r testimony to the good management. unremittent efforts. supplies enough been had to meet the daily needs. Broth and milk are the diet. The medical 1 other attendance is excellent. Dispensing Medicine. - But patients are not brought to this institution till they are in the last stages of disc: Few ever rise from its pallets “We are trying,” said the alcalde, simply “to have it so they will not need to be brought here. And to have it so they will not need to be brought there; food and med- icines are necessary in their dwellings. A dispensary is maintained at the city hall. 1 watched secres of the peor creatures who dragged themselves to it with the orders fur medicine: In most cases the drugs Were for others worse off than themseives.

The kind ts poor one, though the authorities assur me that, officially, notning was lacki there has been something is still lacking. This is aid from the government in Havana.

It is said next week the new system is te be inaugurated. of rations money is to be d to the concentrados, with which they may buy food. Havana province, it is stated, is to have $12,000 out of the fund. Of thi Guines’ share would be $700. This wo: vas given by the farmer alcalde, who wa supposed to know the plans of the govern- Nevertheless, lacking, and yithout impugning the sincerity of the authorities at Havana, or questioning their desire to afford relief, the conditions in Guines and the surrounding country are a sufficient commentary on what will not be done through that means in nourishing the survivors back to the life that is cap- able of sustaining physica) labor. Par- ticular instances and details which would be harrowing to the sensibilities need not be heaped one upon the other to establish the fact, though tnis could be done if it were necessary. The plain truth is that resources, chiefly food, are needed. The local agencies for distributing relief are as ample and as systematic as could be asked. Those who have been foremost in this work tell the same tale. The illness from which the reconcentrados are sickening and dying is ‘‘just hunger.” Succor From the United States. I have ked whether succor from the United States would be of avail. Invariably the answer is “Yes.” But it might be months in coming. That will not be too late. The population that remains will need succor for months to come. This is the actual state of the people in this, the garden spot of the island, today.’ Captai1 General Blanco may continue to telegraph Minister de Lome that Spain is able to relieve all the suffering that exists. These assurances will not keep people from dying whose lives might be saved if the resources cf relief were sufficient. Spain is not able to succor the starving remnant. CHARLES M. PEPPER. —_s IN HOTEL CORRIDORS. Representative Edward H. Driggs, who was elected from one of the Brooklyn, N. Y., districts at the recent election, is the only democrat in the congressional delega- ticn from that erstwhile rock-bound Bour- bon portion of what is now Greater New York. Though a young man, with com- paratively little legislative experience, he dces not purpose being a back number when it comes to the molding of laws. The second day of Congress he introduced a bill into the House asking for an appro- priation of. $0,000 for a monument to the soldiers of the revolution who are buried at Fort Greene, Brooklyn. “The attempt to have Congress fittingly recognize the memcry of those American patriots is not original with me," said he to a Star reporter at the Ebbitt. “My prede- cessor, Fellx Campbell, and Spinola, a for- edtoh Boys’ The watchers out Clothing. for .,.the ~ main chance will . see their opportunity m tomirrow’s specials for the boys.

He has an excellent command of English and is an entertaining conversationalist. “The main object of our committee com- ing to Washington is to oppose everything tnat will interfere with our private rela- tions,” Mr. La Hay told a Star reporter. Our position is justified under the treaty which the United States government en- tered into with the Cherckee nation on June 7, 18%. At the last session of Con- gress a law was passed which takes from the tribes of the Indian territory all court jurisdiction, both civil and criminal, and places it in the hands of the United States court: This law takes effect on January 1, 1598. We shall try to show to Congress the injustice of this law, and shall try to secure its repeal. The delegations from the Cheetaw, Chickasaw and Creek nations ar expected here in a few days. We do not know what their instructicns are, and shaH do very little until conferring with them. “We have a mixed population in the Cherokee nation of about 40,000, of which 10,000 more or less are full blood,” sald Chairman Duncan. “The balance is made up of mixed bloods, whites and freedmen. The full bloods are opposed to the abolition of their government, which is the object sought by the United States government through, the Dawes cqammission. The full bloods fire against the proposed treaty. Some of the half-breeds and adopted whites are.in favor of a change, but I do not know that I ever heard a freedman express him- slf as favorable to one. “Our people look over the United States and see thousands of white families who don't own land, and likely never will. They argue that if the government can’t afford land to whites under the present land ten- ure, how can they, as Indians, expect proper protection. The same intrigue would operate against us as they do against na- tive subjects of the government at present. We believe it must be only a matter of time before we should. be robbed of. our lands by business competition. “Our people are satisfied; they are ac- cumulating money.

The mental phenomena in this case shows that after each excita- tion of the nerves a period of inertia fol- lows, lasting about one-tenth of a second, and during this brief period no new or ap- preciable impression, they declare, can pos- sibly be made.

From Tit-Bits, 2 A Moscow dentist has solved the problem of supplying the human mouth with false teeth which will grow into the gums as firmly as natural ones. Dr. Zamesky has performed several successful operations on dogs, as well as human beings. The teeth are made of gutta percha, porcelain or metal, as the case may be. At the root of the false tooth holes are made. Holes are aiso made upward into the jaw. The tooth is*then placed in the cavity. In a short time a soft granulated growth finds its way from the patient's jaw into the holes ia tue tooth. This growth gradually hardens and holds tze tooth in position. it is stated that it does not matter whether the cavity m which the tooth is to be placed is one from ~
