IN FAIR GUINTANIMO ._.___——— Much Suffering and Sickness Is Prevailing There. , EIGHT DAYS WITHOUT FOOD Spaniards Refuse to Accept Ration: from Sampson. Many Were so. Weak from Starvation That They Were Obliged to -. sit When on Guard. Cuban Troops in Caima-ncra Have- Been Faithful. Santiago de Cuba, July 28.--Lieuten- ant Colonel Angel Bose-ll, Who, after taking confirmation of the instructions to surrender from General 'l'oral to General Paroja, military governor of Guantanamo, returned here this after- noon, said that the first intimation that, Guantanamo had of the surrender of Santiago, and the terms was on July 23, when Rear Admiral Sampson sent a letter to General Paroja, asking what number of rations should he sent to his garrison, as surrender had taken place on the 17th. General Paroja, being ignorant of the surrender, refused to credit the mes- sage or accept rations, answering Rear Admiral Sampson to that effect. Samp- so-n then sent a copy of the terms of surrender, whereupon General Paroia' decided to inquire of General Toral at Santiago, whether the news was true; and Lieu-tenant Colonel Rosell was ap- pointed to come here. He returned with this confirmation, and the surrender of Guantanamo took place yesterday. He says the conditions at Guantanamo are awful, and that the troops are literally starving. For the last eight days they have had no food. 0n mounting guard the soldiers were obliged to sit, being too weak to stand, and it was impossi- ble to make them build trenches as tth fell from exhaustion. There are 2,000 sick in Guantanamo, suffering from diseases being increased by hun- er. 8 The French cruiser Rigaul-t de Gol- nouilly was refused mmission by Rear Admiral Sampson to land grain and provisions for the relief of the French colony at Guantanamo. All hope was abandoned and the sufferers were awaiting death from starvation. The conditions at Guantanamo, Colonel Ro- sell says, are worse then they were at Santiago. Lieutenant Colonel Ewers of the Ninth infantry received lthe surrender of Guantanamo yesterday. The Span- ish troops will nemain the town until transported. ' Cuban Troops in Caimanern. Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, July 28.--All the Cuban troops at Camp Mc‘Calla were transferred this morning to Cai- manera.‘ They will camp there, await- ing orders. They rather expect to go to Santiago. . The parting betwaen the United States marines ‘and their Cuban allies was attended with quite a ceremony. A. guard was drawn up and “the Cubans shouted "Viva los Americanos!” “Viva Cuba Librel" and “Viva McC-alla!” It is generally conceded that they have been of great service 'to the marines. The latter remain in their original camp. - The preparations for the fleet con- tinue without incident. The Vixen, with General Howard and a number of army nurses, went to Santiago this morning. General Howard arrived on the Niagara. The Marblehead picked up thirteen submarine contact mints in the upper Guantanamo bay yesterday. All were covered with barnacles and practically harmless. They had been in the water since April. Crisis In Colombia. Colon, Colombia, July 29.-—The aspect of the Cerruti matter is now extremely serious. Three Italian warships are in front of Cartagena, one is here and an— other is lying at Buenaventura. The Itali minister at Bogota is here on board e steamship Atrato, bound for Europe. The Italian admiral has meived or- ders to bombard Cartagena. Great Britain.and the United States are interceding, and the admiral, hav— ing represented the situation to his government, is now awaiting final in- sfltructions. Sagasta’s Ste ry Denied . Washington, July 29.-—The state de- partment denies the report that the Spanish government asked for a cessa- tion of hostilities and that Sagasta broached peace negotiations several days ago. The first official knowledge that the department had of the effort for peace was conveyed to the president on Tues- day by M. Cambon, the French ambas- Sador in Washington. ' 10...- Prince Bism al'ck’s Condition. Hamburg, July 29.--Prince Bismarck has somewhat improveid since yesterday evening. His condition might be de- scribed as fairly good; but for violeut pains in his foot and face he would have passed a good night. As it was, he slept fair The prince’s diet yes- ‘terday includ h-am, caviare, eggs, beer and champagne. The morning the prince read the newspape s and smoked his pipe in bed. . . , . _ New York Regiments at'F‘ernamlina. 'Wa-shington, JnYy 29.--The arrival of the Second and Sixty-ninth New York regiments at the Fernandina camp from Tampa is reported at .the war department.

Is Not a Slight One. Santiago, Cub-a, Wednesday, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, Thursday.--The pre- sence of a pacifying power will be nec- essary in Santiago for an indefinite pe- riod to make possible the resumption of civil affairs on a peaceful basis. ~The pacifying power will be armed United States soldiers. There are influential Spaniards and influential Cubans who say that the United States will always be obliged to keep troops here to insure against rict and the disruption of municipal af- fairs. The-conquered Spaniards are. to-day clinking glasses with the Americans, but when they meet Cubans threats and imprecations pass back and forth. To American superiority of arms the Spaniards how, but for Cuban sneers they hold the bitterest resentment. If the United States should move all its soldiers to-day there would be se- rious outbreaks between the native vic- tors and the vanquished. Blood would run in the streets. There would be the wildest disorder. The Cubans on the one hanl say they have been oppressel so long and so grievously that they would be Justified in dealing out summary vengeance on their conquered foes. The Spaniards, on the other hand, declare that the Cubans would never have won the city had not the Americans interfered, and they would still, were opportunity of- fered, dictate to them with their old time arrogance. What the Americans have done, so far as Santiago is concerned, is now forgiven by the Spaniards here. The Americans have conquered Santiago; that is forgiven. The Americans will not return soon again, but to endure the dictates of the Cubans, formerly lespised, now in power, the Spaniards say is quite out of their power. This situation confronts the United States government with serious ques- tions. How far will the Unite] States government be permitted to interfere when it comes to defining governmen- tal lines between the Cubans and Spa- niards? Unless the United States keeps a firm rein on both sides, prominent citizens here now agree the war will have been of no benefit. The old con- flict will have to be gone over again, with relative positions of the old foes reversed. The peacemaker is to have a trying time. . After the surrender of Santiago Am— erican and Spanish officers clinked glas- ses in the faces. All resentment for Americans seemed to fade from the Spanish mind. As to the feeling toward the Cubans who were to be placed in the position of the real victors, :the Spanish hatred had been increased ten fold. Each day that passes shows how this hatred grows. Had Cuba-n sol- diers not been barred from the city immediately following the surrender, there certainly would have been bl‘ood—‘ shed. * . . While Americans and Spaniards drank together the latter cursed the Cubans. They talked of revenge, of the inability of the natives to ruletthe iq land and of coming Cuban impositions. The tables were turned, the 'Cuban's dicta-tors, the Spaniards rebelawln some cases the American soldiers'e‘cha oed the condemnation of the Cu, bans. . j "" Cuban valor has fallen in the esti- mation of many American soldiers since the war began. Such is the situation in Santiago to-day. . Mr. Bamsden, the British consul in Santiago, realizes the magnitude of the responsibility of the United States. Mr. Ramsden is ordinarily conservative in such matters, but he said: “It will be necessary for the United States to keep a large military force here to keep order. It remains yet to be seen if the Cubans will make a suc- cess of their government. A tight grasp will have to be kept on Cubans and Spaniards alike.” Chinamen Coming. Montreal, July 29.-~The Vancouver special on the Canadian Pacific Rail- way brought into the Windsor station yesterday 140 C-hinamen, all out from China and bound for the United States. The Chinamen are going to the follow- ing cities: To Boston 59, Baltimore 3. Philadelphia 8, New Yorfi 62, Halifax 8.

When Darwin in his old age was bringing out his book on the habits of plants, his health was poor, and an nld'family. servant—a woman-over- hearing his daughter express some anxiety about .her father’s condition, sought to reassure her by saying: “Hi telieve master’d he hall right, madam, hit ’6 only ’ad somethin’ to occupy ’is mind.

Often it is needless to consult a doctor. At such times you can treat yourself just as well as the .most learned physi— ' ci-an. When a man or woman is sufi'er- ing from Kidney disease/the doctor asks: “ Do you desire to urinate often, and are you compelled to get up frequently at night to make water? Do you have pains in the small of the back? Does your urine stain linen? Is therea scald- ing pain in assing water, and is it difficult to ho d the urine back? ” If the answer is “Yes” to any of these ques- tions, your Kidneys are diseased and decay has set in. Ask yourself the. questions. and answer them. There is another thing you can do. Put some of your urine in a glass tumbler or bottle, and let it stand 24 hours. If there is a sediment or powder-like sub- stance at the bottom, or a cloudy appearance, there is grave danger. Your Kidneys are surely affected. Sufferers with any of the above symptoms ought to be glad to know that Dr. David Ken- nedy‘s Favorite Remedy will surely relieve and cure even the most distress- ing cases.
