MANY FURNISHED WITH MO1 Ionsul Lee Tells How Hle Its Usisg the Fifty Thousand Dollars Approprlated by Congress-State Department Omcials Surprised-Considerable Distress Cassed by the Order of Concentration. WasHINGroN, Nov. 29.-In a report to the state department Consul General Lee says there are in Cuba 1,607 Ameri can citizens who are now dependent upon charitable assistance and have been for the past five months. Thy have been furnished food by the ex penditure of part of the fund of $50.00 appropriated at the extra session of coi gress. These figures are a revelation even to state department officials. The public had been told that a much less number of American citizens were in Cuba and that destitution was not. prevalent among them. Of the number reported by General Lee 750 are in the province of Havana, 253 in Mantanzas and the remainini 604 distributed through other portions of the island. General Lee says that in making pro vision for the relief .t these citizens more than $1,500 a week must be ex pended. He has drawn $25.000 of the sum appropriated. This is largely above the figures given out for publication. General Lee has drawn two drafts for $5.000 each this month. The reason assigned by General Lee for the destitution among Americans in Cuba is the concentration order of Gen erai Weyler. The consul says tu.it a considerable time must elIpse before they will be self ssnc* im. TERRIBLE STOU-Y IF TRUE. Some New and Startling ri ures of the Island of Cuba's Starvation. Nzw Yon, Nov. 29.-A dispatch to The World from Havana says: The World's first figures of Cuba's starva tion were timidly moderate. They showed the death .1 only 200,000. Bul a very painful fact unearthed tends to prove that they are more nearly double that number. According to reliable figures it is almost certain that the massacre of Cuban insurgents will reach almost 400,000. This fearful de struction does not include those killed in battle or the tens of thousands ol women and children who have died of exposure, disease and massacre in the "managuas" apd swamps. It uQw seems certain that more than 500.00b people, for the most part loyal subjects of Spain, have been killed by Sne Spanish war in Outa. A weeks trip through the provinces of Havana, Matanzas and Santa Olara has tended to make moderate this tremendously extreme figure. The figures of Spanish official reports show but a part of the mortality. They only give the number buried in consecrated ground-they dc not give that fully. And yet these offi cial ultra. Spanish reports of the burial permits issued admit that in the pro vince of Santa Clara all that have died and been buried since Weyler's flas number 71,847. The number of people for whose exis tegce Weyler is directly responsible is 155,132 in-Santa Clara province. And 6y these he has killed 86,21. or over one-half of them. Santa Clara has sc far been the least destitute of the prov inces. It has many cattle and not a thick population. But of this there are 53 per cent dead. In Pinar del Rio the rate is 80 per cent and in the provinces of Mantansas and Havana 60 and 70 per ceoat mortality respectively .A BIG STORM IN ENGLAND. L~ong List of Fatalities, Wrecks and Damn ages to Property I.eceived. LoYDos, Nov. 29.-The gale which swept the English coast Sunday, doing much damage at Holy and other places, raged all night long, and was not abated in fury Monday morning, when ii amounted to almost a cyclone in many places and was accompanied by snow and hal. A long list of fatalities, wrecks and ~-damage to property has already been received. All the coast towns have suffered and a score of bodies have been washed ashore. Falling wails and ly ing debris have added to the loss of life. Tessels- are reported on shore on every part of the coast and many ships are known to have foundered with the probable loss of all hands. There is much wreckage about the Goodwiz sands. At Lowestoft, Yarmouth and else where, the sea has flooded the quays and neighborhoods and has swept away the esplanades and done other damage. The sea walls at Yarborough were wase~d away and the mall service across Ci chqnnel has been almost suspended. To Shut Out American Goeds. NEW YoRK,. Nor. 29-The authorities in Washington, according to the cor * respondent of The Herald, have beet . informed that Fiance, while ostensibly enigaged in nogttations with this gov. ernens for areciprocity treaty, is tak ing steps to place a prohibitory tarifl upon some American products. The state department has been notdfied that a bill is pending in the legislative as sembly of France imposing a high duty upon certain products which wiil prac tically make that country a closed market so far as the United States is concerned. Ambassador Porser un doubt edly will be directed to make an earnest protest against the measure. Food Famin- Li Feared.

Fully Prepared for the Fall Trade in Every Respect. In our long experience in merchandising we have never procured goods in every line more satisfactory with a view to low and suitable prices than during our recent visit North. We allowed no opportunity looking to this most important end to pass us. These bargains we pledge ourselves to give our customers the full benefit of. feeling sure that we could not give more practical shape to our sense of sympathy and gratitude to our country friends. We know by experience the special wants of our farmers, whose friendship we think we have a peculiar right in claiming, inasmuch as our firm it was which was the pioneer in this section to operate first with the various farmer Alliances, and that our dealings with these gentlemen were most satisfactory in every particular and were appreciated is clearly evinced by the present enormous increased volume of our business. We take much pride in this and are determined by continued conscientious dealing, and the lowest possible prices to retain our hard-earned pop ularity. Our store is frequently literally packed with cus tomers during the busy season, and this fact can be verified by a visit, and certainly most emphatically sustains the cor rectness of our statement. We have not. of course. the space to lay before the pub lic all our offering stock, but can only refer to a limited por tion. Probably much that is omitted will be found even more inviting.

It sometimes happens that even in a shoe of this grade a pair may be found deficient, but in every such case we satisfy the customer by giving a new pair of shoes or making due allowance. OUR Clothing Department. This is a kind of hobby with us. We cannot resist the temptation of buying, no matter what the quantity may be if the styles and prices are right, and it was our good fortune to secure a line of about fifteen styles of All Wool Cheviots and Cassimeres That were made by a merchant tailoring establishment to sell from $12.50 to $15, but we bought them to sell Frznm 87 to 8.O. You have to see these goods to appreciate them. We also got in connection with this line of goods a lot of light-weight Kersey and Beaver- Overcoats That were manufactured to sell from $12.50 to $20.
