SPANISH ARCHIVES HF.HLIN, via wireless to Sayville, Mny Us Special dispatches from the West Oalician buttle fields say that Russian prisoners de-eribe tho effect of tho Oernuin and Austrian attiHery fire as appalling. Tho havoo thus wrought was puitieulurly sovero at Clorlia, where the Russians fought stubbornly nnd for four hours endur ed a terrific lire. In this time, no cording to thc.-o reports, divisions dwindled to regiments and icgiments to companies.

Thousands of pris oners were nmde in the center, as well as on tho wings.

Mn-t of the people of the city ore going about their business us usual, apparently with no knowledge of the problem which confronts, their country. They might be aroused, but tho government has taken every measure to prevent nut i-Japanese demon-trntions. Only the educated !ipcr classes are kept informed of the progress of negotiations with Japan. Among them the feeling is intense, but there hae been no demonstrations, al though reports havo been received from southern cities that several men mid one woman have committed sui cide, declaring they did not wi.-h lo live to see China subjected.
