FAMNE IS: CERT A N Late Reports From Klondike Tell of a Shortage of Provisions and Certain Suffering. The New Anstrian Premier Has Iformu. lated a Plan Which He Believes Will Brine Quiet Onn of Recent Trouble. New York, Nov. 29. A dtspatcV to the World from Havana says: The World's first figures of Cuba's starvation were timidly " moderate. They showed the death of only 200,000 persens; but every painful fact un earthed tends to prove them nearly double that number. When the grim returns are ail in it is now almost cer tain that this Cuban massacre of the nocents 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 exposure, disease and mas sacre in the swamps. It now seems certain that more than half a million people, for the most part loyal subjects of Spain, have been killed by the Spanish war in Cuba. A week's trip through the provinces "of Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara has tended to make moderate this tremend ous extieme figure. rhe figures of Spanish official reports show but a part Qt the mortality. They only give the number buried in conse crated ground, and they do not five that fully. And yet these officials ultra-Spanish reports of burial permits issued admit that in the , pro.vinco of Santa Clara the'pe baye died and been buried since Weylfer's fiat, 71,847 per sons. The number of. people, for whose existence Woyler is directly responsi- ble is' 155.132 in Santa Clara province, And of these he has killed 6.216, or over one-half of them. Santa Clara has so far been by far the least desti tute of the provinces. It has many cattle and not a very thick population. Between it and the 53 per rent ad mitted dead in Pinar del Rio are the provinces of Matanzas and Havana, with a 60 and 70 der cent mortality re spectively. These percentages are es tablished by tte actual figures of some 30 cities and towns. Applied to the denser populations nf their respective provinces, the total deaths since Wey ler's "bando" will foot up. pearly . a million. ' : ' ' J C. Berry, . opiv of iheivbest known citizens of Spencer, Mo., testifies that he cured himself of the worst, kindof piles by using a few boxes of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. He hai been trou bled with piles for over thirty years ana had used many different kinds of so-called cures; butDe Witt's was the one that did the work and he will ver ify this statement if any one wishes to write him.

Chesterfield, Ind., was almost wiped off the map at an early hour this morn ing by an explosion- of 80 quarts of nitroglycerine in an oil field half a mile from town. James Gol's bouse) 300 rods distant, was torn to pieces. The explosion tore a bole in the ground down to' the water line. A three-ton engine was torn to fragments, ana every animal in the neighborhood was killed instantly. The little town of Chesterfield Is in a mass of ruins. Every house was moved f-om its foundation, and windows were shattered, doors smashed in, every light put out and the plastering shaken from the walls. Several people were shaken out of bed. At Dalesville, two miles away, and at Yorktown, five utiles distant, the damage was almost as - great. Many people were injured, and it is miracu lous that many were not killed. The shock was felt 15 miles away. ' The damage cannot be estimated. J. M.

Wasting negro, and the negro was burned to death by an infuriated mob of white farmers near here last Thursday. During the fall, a party of farmers had been fishing on Cherry Grove beach, near Little River, S. C. Mon day, November 15, one of the farmer's boys, named Stevens, left for his homo on the Waccamaw river, with an ox aad cart: He carried a package of money. The father of Stevens went home, but found that, nothing had be ;n heard of his son since be had left the beach. It was learned that a negro, Nathan Willis, had borrowed a gun and left the beach shortly after Steven's son had departed for home. A posse was organized by the sheriff, and Willis was traced about 30 miles to Town Creek, N. C, where he. was found last Wednesday, having in his posses' sion Stevens' ox, cart and cloth hat full of shot boles. He was carri?d by the sheriff and posse on Thanksgiving day back into South Carolina. Reports come today that Willis was taken from the sheriff on Thursday night by a mob of infuriated farmers and carried into the woods., where he was chained between two pine trees Light wood was piled around him and he was burned to death.

When the presi dent of the house entered be was greet- e l with vociferous shouts of '"Get out." The leftists rose to their feet in a body, : many of the deputies shrieked wildlv ' and an indescribable tumult followed. : During the tumult, a social 'demo crat, Herr Berner, made a rush for the ; president and a lively fist fhrht followed i between Berner and the house at- rtendants. Thereupon another focial ! democrat, Herr Rese), jumped upon j the ministerial bench and hurrying to the presidential -' chair, seized the f papers which were'lyirig on the presi- dent s desk and tore them to pieces, while other social- democrats hastened to Berner's assistance, occupied the tribune and demanded satisfaction for the attendants pummeling of Berner. President Abrahamcis was compelled to flee. Subsequently the social democrats and deputies indulged in a free figh't and Berner was ejected from the bouse.

SWEPT BY A TYPHONE Phillipine Islands Suffer Terrible Disaster From a Hurricane That Caused Great Loss of Life. Negro Murderer Burned t the Stake by mn Infuriated Mob of Farmers to Avenge the Death of a White Buy. PcJrtland, Noy. 28. Eight ince64T- ary lodgiug-house fires within an hour is the record of Portland last night, and citizens have cause for congratula- lion that a good portion of the city is not this morning a heap of ashes and smoking ruins. An industrious and evil-minded man of middleage made a desperate attempt to lay it waste. In eight different lodging-houses located at widely separ ated parts of the city fires sprang up almost at the same moment. They were: Occidental hotel. First and Morrison. Lafayette . house, Third and Burn- side. Central lodging-house, Second and Burnsido. BurliDgton house, 451 .Third street. .Columbia hotel, First and Clay. American Exchange. Front nd Jef- ers i. Revere house, First and Madison. Cosmopolitan house, 51 North Third. What malign purpose actuated the incendiary is uot revealed. That he did not succeed in carrying it into ex ecution is no fault of his, for he- laid hLs pi ins with skill and consumm ate-. desijrn, and sprung the mines he - had set with a rapidity that is amazing. The workings of the unknown man were identical in each bouse, with one exception, a,nd in each ease be . Is de scribed with almost exact similarity, establishing beyond question that but one person is at the base of the whole. He went first to engage his rooms be tween 3 and op. M, and, . where seen later, disappeared from the house a short time prior to the commencement of the fire.. In two or three instances he was seen to carry into the room en gaged a bottle, which contained the kerosene used to ignito the building. At the last room engaged, judgingthe order by the time he appeared there, be left two of the bottles - used, both filled with kerosene. At one or two places a candle device, by which he was enabled to make a time fuse, . was found. He paid for his rooms in each case. usually demanding a backroom, and selecting wherever possible a place on the top floor and removed from other roomers. APPALLING! DISASTER. Tornado lu the Philippines Swept Thon anda to Death. San Francisco, Nov. 27. The ty phoon .which swept' over the Philip pine islands, October 6, caused one of the worst disasters reported from .the southern ocean in many years, if not In the history ef that Fection of the world. The steamer Gaelic, from the Orient, today brought letters and papers which contain accounts of the ravages of the tidal wave and wind. Whole towns were swept or blown away. Fully 500 Europeans were killed, and it is es timated that 6000 natives perished. The storm first struck the island at the Bay of Santa Paula, in the province of Samar. It devastated tne entire southern portion of the island. On the 12tb, a hurricane reached Leyte, and struck the oapital, Taoio ban, with great fury. In less than half an hour the town was a mass of ruins The natives were panic-stricken. Four hundred of them were buried beneath the debris of wrecked, buildings, and 120 corpses of Europeans were - re covered from the ruins when the native authorities instituted a search for the dead. ' ' u 1 SITUATION AT KLONDIKE.' Famine In Dawson City and Other Points Inevitable. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 29.-7-Twenty-flye 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' 16. The ..various ' mem bars of the party are reported to havo brought out gold and drafts to the ag gregate amount of $50,000. All tell stories of a food shortage in Dawson that is almost a famine. The last person to leave Dawson was Jack Dal ton. When Dal ton left the steam ers Alice and Bella had reached there, loaded light. It is said that the Bella's cargo consisted of whisky and billiard balls. She brought . no provisions The Canadian mounted police char tered ' the ' Bella and gave all who wished free passage 1 to Fort Yukon. The Bella is reported to have left about October 12, 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 res taurant in the town had closed.

Trials of Joseph Franels In Trying; to Per feet the Llfe-Savlna; Appliance. But such work as this, successful at it-was, was only what we might call amusement there was far more serious work to perform. From 1830 to 1840 the young man was spending all his spare time and money at work upon a boat . which should not only save lives but which could not be crushed on the rocks when the waves were hurling them selves thoreward. His cork-lined boat were successful, and were giving him a world-wide fame as an inventor and philanthropist ; but he felt that unless he could inveut a boat of some other ma terial than wood his object was but half attained. He resolved to try iron. Those of his friends who knew of this step looked upon him as many an inventor is looked upon in our own day as little less than a lunatic. Iron far a boat? Why, it would take such a vast amount of wood to float the iron that it would be impossible to propel the boat to say r.ot!iin; cf having it breast the v.f.vcs of a furious gale and go out tUroc-h tne storm to a wrecked ship! The Idea, they said, was simply prepos terous.- The young man acknowledged tbo apparent force of the argument, out he believed there was a way out of the diiliculty. He started in. the path alone. He found many cruel and dis hcnrtccincr difficulties in the woy, but he bravely rart all trouble, and he nobly n:air.ta:ncd Iiii m.Tii purpose, and won El last n magnificent victory, not only for hansel f, but for all mankind. In h'.a later years Mr. Francis loved to tell of the trials of that critical time. Amid his lr.ter honors he never forgot (he days v. hcn at one moment he seemed so near , to eucccss end nt another so near to the saddest of failures. It was now the year 1841. He had taken bis fumily for he was married to a country place where he could live more cheaply than in the city He hod the use of a room in a house on Anthony street, in Ihecityof Xcw York, in which to carry ou the work of his inventions, by the favor of Myndert Vnn Shoick, a gentleman who was much interested in the outcome of the matter. Here, shut in from all the world, in sore, pov erty, lie worked for 12 months, a long, discounting, weary year. The end to be gained was to make iron float on water, something which his best friends thouprht the dream of a lunatic. Day by clay and night by night he worked eeosclcsHly. He denied himself all lux uries, nil comforts. He met with failure after failure. . . He fouud himself one day at the close of the year reduced to actual want and his object not attained.; . He hnd but a pittance in his pocket.. ..He was hun gry, but he needed one more piece of iron to make one last supreme effort. He went out to a junk shop with his last 25 cents. He bought his piece of iron for 13 cents. With the restof the money he bought bread and molasses. All that night he worked. In the mora- ir" ne lounu that tne rata had stolen piece of bread which he saved for bis breakfast, but .the labor of the night had brought victory.- He had solved the problem! He had conquered in the fiercest battle of his life. He had achieved the success he sought, and this victory meant the saving of the lives of many thousands of his. fellow-men. The corrugation of iron, forming ridges in lines along the sides of the boat, had been invented. By this he was enabled to make the iron float, for - he could .bend it and shape it to the curved form' of a boat, and the bend ings or ridges in the sides took the place of all stays; supports, ribs and timbers,, furnishing in; themselves the fcupport and strength... while nothing was added to the weieht. . The metal was r"t under great pressure to do this, but it stayed in place, and the victory was won. W. S. Ilarwood, in St. Nicholas.
