ti this city the special resirter of the
Associated Press who is examining into
the famine situation in India visited the
portrhouies at Ititismur and Katn. The
inmates were found to be in a deplora-
ble condition. The buildings are over-
crowded and medical attendance was
lacking. A man outside of one of them
was dead and another was dying. A
girl of five years of age weighed only
te pounds and several adults were un-
der fifty-six pounds in weight. The skin
ia all cases was drawn over the fuce
thawing the outline of the skull and the
limbs 'a ml joints having the appearance
of those of articulated skeletons.
There is sn immense migration to the
Asanti gardena 1600 persons going there
weekly diverting their wives and fmnl-
lien. Jubbulpore is the worst of any
part of Central India.
It is estimated that the present fam-
ine ia the greatest of the century and
will greatly surpass that of ISTii. both
in area and severity. The famine belt
extends to I!viiliiiuli and is ll'.iHI miles
long and 4iK miles wide. This is: apart
from the scattered districts.
In all ef the rice districts there is no

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an Al-
solute Cure for Dysievsia and
Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule. However is Not Argument and
Fact Are Stublmrn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that peo-
ple are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigi-stion.
Many such pride themselves on their
nciitciiess in never Is'ing humbugged es-
IHvially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may le
carried too far: so far. in fact that many
Ihtsohs suffer for years with weak diges-
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims of
ii preKiration so reliable and universally
usitl as Stuart's Dysjiepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspeiwia Tablets are
vastly different in one iniKirt:int respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret pat-
ent medicine no secret is made of their
ingredients but analysis shows them to
contain the until ml digestive ferments
pure aseptic pepsin the digestive acids
Golden Seal bismuth hydrastic and mix.
They are not cathartic neither do they
act powerfully ou any organ but they
cure indigestion on the common sense
plan of digesting the food eaten thorough-
ly beforo it has time to ferment sour and
cause the mischief This is the only se-
cret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can curt? indigestion and stomach trou-
bles I x v.i use they act entirely upon Uie
IhiwcIh whereas the whole trouble is real-
ly in the stomach.
Stuart's Dysopsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there
is to it. Food not digested or half di-
gested is poison as it creates gas acidity
headaches palpitation of the heart loss
of flesh and appetite and many ether
troubles which are often called by some
other name.
They are sold by-druggists everywhere

Havana via Key West. Feb. 0.
(Copyrighted l.St7 by the Associated
Press.) Tho various reports and stute.
incuts of dipt. Gen. Weylcr announcing
the puciiicution of tho province of Pinnr
del Rio and the almost complete disap-
pearance of the insurgents in that part
of the island arc far from being borne
out by facts. As intimated in these dis
patches when the captain generul made
the assertion that Pinnr del Rio wus us
quiet us he wanted it to be it was asked
what had become of the supplies and
stores of the 7000 men said to be there
As n matter of fact tho insurgents in
Pinnr del Rio seem more thoroughly
equipped und organized than at any time.
In supMrt of this claim the following
statement gathered from the most rci
liable source is given out:
At Catalana and Ins Cruccs are the
insurgent lenders Vurona und I -as Forces
with nbout 500 men well armed nnd hav
ing plenty of ammunition though poorly
clad. The insurgent Laso has beeu seen
with 000 men. Laso is wounded in both
arms. Vidul Ducusi hus 700 men under
his command. At tho heights of Gunmbo
and the Sierra del Leon the insurgents
are under the command of Brig. Gen.
Ruiz Rivera and the leader Pcrico Del-
gado. They consist of infantry nud some
cavalry estiniuteii to number aDout tsiu
men. At Sorica is u force of insurgents
under Antonio Nunez. Nunez however
is suid to bo wounded. At the Tomn
heights is the Torro Bermudns band und
in the district of Puntn Brava are the
insurgents under Garruga and Luis Mar-
tinez. Tlie insurgent leader Fredcrico Nunez
is nt Las Maligns nnd near Araba La-
corto nnd Artemisa are insurgents forces
under Iiorn.
These forces with the forces of the
known leaders in the field are estimated
to number about frtMK) men nnd yet the
captain general claims that Pinar del
Kio is nacitjiKj. In addition to these
forces is a strong body of insurgents
which seems to linve mysteriously dis-
apiiearcd from the neighborhood of
Havana t he exact whereabouts of tuis
force is attracting much attention and
is known to be cn using the Spanish staff
considerable anxiety.
The friends of the insurgents intimate
that a big surprise is being prepared for
Capt. Gen. Weylcr when he tries to re-
turn to Havana.
On February 1 the insurgents destroyed
by dynamite a culvert situated ot a point
about 11! kilometers from here between
TacoTaeo and Gunnajay Pinnr del Rio.
At the moment of the explosion an ex-
ploring train from Vuelta to Abnjo was
passing over the culvert and the engine
fell through. The culvert was totally de
stroyed and of the pnsscngers on the
nam oue was killed the engineer two
firemen n captain of artillery volunteers.
Sunrcz nnd live soldiers of the battalion
of Anticosta were seriously wonndod.
Two of them have since died of the in-
juries they received. In addition eight
soldiers were slightly wounded. The ex-
plosion caused n panic nmong the pas
sengers who were eventually transferred
to another train. The line was inter-
rupted on Tuesday.
Dmoiisi Snrngorre. a well known insur
gent surrendered last week at Trinidad.
He was immediately liberated under the
captain general's decrpe but was after-
wards arrested at Union with a compan-
ion Cnciniro Vivas.
Owing to the campaign of Ii Lucha
thousands of persons are being vaccinat-
ed daily throughout the entire province.
In spite of this it is asserted alsut 5l00
case of smallpox exist in Havana and
during the four days forty persons or
about S per cent of the entire mortality
have died from this disease.
During the month of January at Ja-
ruco alone out of 320 deaths 312 were
due to smallpox.
Gen. Weylcr from Las Cruces marched
to Villa Clara capital of the province of
Santa Clara and it wns reported from
Villa Clara that he will push on to Place-
t:is and Rcmedios.
Advice from Santa Clara province
sny that (Jen. Gomez has moved from the
district of Sancti Spiritns to Las Cruces
which caused the rumor of a conference
between the generals nnd eventually a
conclusion of a treaty of pence. But
these rumors have been denied from in-
surgent sources.
All the rumors published about promi-
nent home rulers and former leaders of
the ten years' war being engaged in treat-
ing for pence are entirely without foun-
dation and ar only inspired by the Dinro
de la Marina and perhaps ' reproduced
by some of the correspondents here. All
the statements to the contrary notwith-
standing it can be atlirmed on excellent
authority that the insurgents exept in the
long run something more tangible than
the "reforms" offered bv the Spanish
government. It is recalled that the
Dinro de la Marina during the captain
generalship of Campos announced that
the latter had the intention of going fur-
ther in giving the Cubans home rule than
outlined in the cable dispntehes of the
reforms Just proclaimed in Madrid. The
Spaniards here it can not be denied are
heartily sick of the war. except those who
ure without money or property und who
actually make a better living out of war
thon they ever did before or could hope
to do again if peace is proclaimed. Then
there is another clasa anxious for war
to continue those who hope to better
themselves considerably should the in-
surgents triumph.
(Jen. Gouzules Munoz is upon the point
of returning to Spain on leave of ab-
sence. His example is to be followed bv
Gens. Bcrani Roral. Puriu Figuero anil
Lost in March. Those officers the
friends of the insurgents claim see ab-
solutely no chance of glory in Cuba and
considerable danger of disgrace to say
nothing of disease and wounds. Conse-
quently their enemies add that seeing
the Insurgents must eventually triumph
by the machete or otherwise they are
adopting the policy of the rats when the
latter became aware that the ship was on
the point of sinking.
The insurgents recently fired on a Ma-
tanzas train near Campo Florida wound-
ing n Spanish major and two passengers.
As thin dispatch is sent it has become
known that seme of the most prominent
of the home rule lenders here after con-
sulting together over the reforms project-
ed for Cuba succeeded in sending a ca-
ble message to Madrid requesti i)r the
government to considerably amplify the
reform scheme adding that under its'
present form there is absolutely no chance
of its meeting the wishes of the insurgent
leaders and bringing about the pacifica-
tion in Cuba.
ANOTHER AMERICAN ARRESTED.
Havana Feb. 0. Col. Arjarva return-
ing to Cuidad del Rey from Arjo Blanco
has had several engagements nt the plan-
tation of Vie jo driving the insurgents
frm their positions und indicting upon

had one man killed and thirteen wound-
ed. During u number of small engage-
ments which have taken place recently
iu Pinar del Rio Havana and Mutunzas
the insurgents left thirty-one men killed
and the troopa captured four prisoners.
The government forces in these engage-
ments had two men killed and twenty-
four wounded.
Senora Ana Setulento the iiolitic.il

Cuba Hates Spain.
New York Feb. lO.-The World this
morning publishes an interview with Gen.
Maximo Gomez dated enmn rr i--
Maximo Gomez near Siilndo. nrrvin
of Santa Clara Cuba January 20 1897.
uen. uomez said in part:
"Spain will not grant anv renl mCm-m
We no longer ask concessions from her.
Even were Spain's proposals bona fide
nothing could move us to treat with her.
ve are for liberty not for Snnnish
reform. We are for Cnhn. nnt t si
I am disgusted with this talk of reform'
Does Spain think we have forgotten the
essous of tho past? Liberty is what
we are fighting for. because it is one of
the mast glorious gifts thnt God has be-
stowed upon man.
"We want- nothing from Sirain Cnhn
hutes Spain. Home rule in its broadest
sense is independence. That is the kind
of home rule we want. If you ask would
we accept home rule with a Spanish cap-
tain general I would answer most em-
phatically 'no.' We want nothing from
Spain. We do not want her captain
general nor her glory if she has any
remaining nor her care."
"Do you believe the United States is
rendering aid to Spain?"
"Thnt is a delicate question" he an
swered. "I hope not. Still I will speak
plainly and with candor. It is certain
that the United States has not been our
Hy. If the government at Washington
owes anything to the cause of liberty;
I it tavors tho struggle for freedom now-
going on it hns not shown it even by an
expression of sympathy."
Vhen nsked about the stock of ammu
nition on hand he did not speak.
Could you materially increase the size
of your army if you had plenty of arms
nd ammunition?"
'I could march into the province of
Havana with 7"000 in n month" replied
Gen. Gomez "nnd thnt would mean the
almost immediate freedom of Cuba for
one Cuban is as good ns two Spaniards.
More than that I nm convinced that
with 50000 men properly armed and
equipped nnd supported by nrtillery. the
Spanish army could lie driven from Cuba
within three months."
