INNOCENTS SUFFERING
Frightful Mortality Among
Concentrados.
FODR HUNDRED THOUSAND DEAD
Reports of the Death Rate of a Few
FroTlnces Make an Appalling
Showing.
I
New York, Nov. 29. A Havana dis
patch to the World says:
The World's first figures of Cuba's
starvation were timidly moderate. They
showed the death of only 200,000 per
sons; but every painful fact unearthed
tends to prove them nearly double that
.number. When the grim returns are
all in it is now almost certain that this
Cuban massacre of the innocents will
, reach 400,000. And this awful number
does not include those killed in battle
or the thousands and thousands of
women and children who died of expos
' ure, disease and massacre in the
swamps. ,
It now seems certain that more , than
' half a niIlion people, for tbe most, part
loyal subjects of Spain, have been killed
by the Spanish war in Cuba. : A. wetk's
trip through the provinces ol. Havana,
: Matanzas and Santa Clara has. tended
to make moderate this tremendous ex
treme figure.
- The figures of the Spanish official re
ports show but a part of the mortality.
They only "give the number buried in
consecrated ground,, and they .do not
give that fully. And yet , these official
ultra-Spanish reports of burial permits
issued admit that in the province of
Santa Clara there have died and been
buried since Weyler'a fiat, 71,847 persons.
The number of persons for whose ex
istence Weylefc is directly responsible is
155,132, in Santa Clara province. ,And j
of these he has killed 86,216, or over
one-half of them. Santa Clara has so fai1
been by far the least destitute of the
provinces. It has many cattle and not
a very thick population. Between it
and the fifty-three ', per cent admitted
dead in Pinar del Rio are the provinces
of MataozaB and Havana, with a sixty
and seventy per cent mortality respec
tively. These percentages are established by
the actual figures of some thirty cities
and towns. Applied to the denser pop
ulation of their respective provinces, the
total deaths since Weyler's "bando"
will foot up nearly a million. '
HKTGKRT'8 PECOS D TRIAL.
Prisoner's Counsel Objects to Baring
Jadge Gary .Sit on the Case.
Chicago, Nov. 28. The second trial
of Adolph L. Lnetgert for tbe murder of
his wife was called before Judge Gary
today. The sausage manufacturer was
represented by ex-Judge Lawrence
Marman and Attorney Kiese, Attorney
Phalen having withdrawn from the case
yesterday after a heated interview with
Luetgert and bis new attorneys.
... The court room was packed with visi
tors when court was called to order
The most of the session was taken up by

that be was not qualified to sit as a
criminal judge. Judge Gary overruled
the motion, intimating, however, that
he was willing some other judge should
sit in the case, provided counsel, for the
defense could come to an agreement
with the prosecution as to who should
hear it.
The three-year-old boy of J. A. John
son, of Lynn Center, III., is subject to
attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says
he ie sure that tbe timely use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, during a se
vere attack, saved his boy's life. He is
in the drug business, a member, of the
firm of Johnson Bros., ot thai place, and
they handle a great many patent med
icines for throat and long diseases. ,' He
had all theBe to select' from, and skilled
physicians to answer to bis call, but se
lected this remedy for use in his own !
home at a time when his "boy's life was j
in danger, because he knew it to- be su
perior to any other, and - famous the
country over tor its cures of the croup.
Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling
cough medicine they handle, and that
gives splendid satisfaction in all cases.'

Famine In Dawson City and Other Points
Inevltaole.
Seattle. Nov. 29. Twenty-five men
arrived here yesterday on the City of
Seattle, direct from. Dawson City. They
were divided into two parties, the last of
which left Dawson' City October 16th.
The various members of the party' are
reported to have brought out gold ' and
drafts to tbe aggregate amount of $50,
000. ,.
All tell stories of a food shortage in
Dawson that is almost a famine. ; Tbe
last person to leave Dawson was Jack
Dahon. When Dalton left tbe steamers
Alice and Bella had reached there, load
ed light.
It is said that the Bella's cargo con
sisted of whiskey and billiard 'balls! She
brought no provisions. . The Canadian
mounted police chartered tbe Bella and
gave all who wished passage to Fort
Yukon. The Bella is reported to have
left about the 12th with 200 men.
When the party left Dawson nothing
in the line of food could be purchased
there except sugar, baking powder and
a little dried fruit, and every restaurant
in the camp had closed.
Thomas Magee, sr., the well-known
Sin Francisco capitalist, gives a graphic
account of the perils and hardships en
countered by his party in coming out by
way of the Dalton trail to Cbilcat. Jack
Dalton, one of the best-known charac
ters : of the Klondike, 1 ' piloted tbem
through.
Two horses perished of starvation on
tbe way, and the ' men had several close
calls from suffering a similar fate, arriv
ing at Dal ton's various food caches along
the route in the nick of time. In ad'
dition to Mr. Magee, sr., and Jack Dal
ton, the party was ' made up of men
from this city, San Francisco and various
other points. '
