Negroes Pay Death Penalty.
New Ilcdford, July 31. A Lisbon,
Portugal paper received here dated
July 13, contains a story of starva
tion and suffering In the Cape Verde
Islands, which has only been hinted at
up to this time. The Lisbon story
is unnuestlonablv authentic, as tho
islands belong to Portugal, and tho
information has a direct and unbi
ased origin.
The islands, which lie off tho Afri
can coast and directly cast of San
Domingo, have suffered from the ef
fects of a heavy emigration of In
here, very many of whom have
gone to South America, and to the
southern part of the United States
This emigration has greatly depleted
the force available for tho handling
of the crops, rattle and other Indus
tries. In addition, the Islands are
suffering from one or the not infre
quent visitations of drouth, and the
crops this year are a total failure.
On the island of St. Hiago the
death rate has reached and now main
tains ."U dally from starvation. The
dead are piled colllnless in trncches.
The old and decrepit drop dead in
the streets, and in some cases tho
mothers nie the only ones left to bury
the little children they vainly tried
to find sutllclent food for. Little babes
have died of starvation at tho dry
breasts of their starving mothers.
The military governor is doing his
utmost to relieve nls distress, but
his resources are limited. He is fur
ther handicapped by the almost de
sertion of the islands by ships and
stcameis which have not made their
ports for several months, because
there was nothing this year to be
taken away, and no one who could
buv what they might bring.
broutli and famine are periodical
in the Capo Verde Islands, the nor
mnl population of which Is 70,000.
distributed over nn area of 1,280
miles. The greatest famine was In
1832-33. when 30,000 peoplo died. In

GETS FIVE AND A HALF YEARS.
Havana, July 31. In spite of the
assertion made yesterday by Scnor
Vero. secretary of tho Int'-rlor, that
the killing of three men and tho cap
line of n fourth man, their loader,
"ho had attempted to cause an upris
ing In the vicinity of Bayamo, prov
ince ot Santiago, effectually ended
tho only semblance, of nn uprising In
Cuba, the rumors of uprisings In
Eastern Cuba were fully confirmed
today in the government's reports re
ceived lrom the covernor and other
officials of Santiago Province. These
are to the effect that since the night
of Sunday last CO armed and mount
ed men have appeared outside vil
lages In the Cauto river district, pro
claiming a revolution and demanding
tho payment of tho former members
of the revolutionary army.
No acts of violence have been re
poited, but the inhabitants of tho
Cauto rcg rn are excited Tne lnid
er of the revolutionary party Is
named Pupo. Ha 's u mother of one
o' the bandits kill;-J by the rural
guard on Tuesday
General Rodriguez, commar.der-Jn-chief
of the rural guard, has ordered
the mobilization of all the rural
guards in Eastern Cuba, and the gov
ernor of Santiago province has been
instructed to enlist as many volun
teers as may be deemed necessary
to co-operato with tho mounted
troops.
Secretary of the Interior Yero says
there Is no doubt that tho authorities
will be ablo to cope successful)' with
tho situation, as all reports, he adds,
agree that popular sentiment Is with
tne government of President Palma,
and that those who havo risen In re
bellion mostly belong to tho wanton,
lazy class of Puerto Principe.
Up to this afternoon no further
information had been received here
regarding tho uprisinb in Eastern
