Kg2gMZ3&zm EATING HORSE FLESH. A Scotchman's Unpleasant Experi ence During the Chile War. BALHACEDA'S BARBAEOUS EDICTS. A Hotel Proprietor Who Shed Tears Before Ih's Gue ts. HARD TIMES FOR BEER DRINKERS Five long weeks of living on horse and mule flesh with no possible means of procur ' ing better diet was one of the many grew come experiences T. M. Hunter, a Scottish contractor, was obliged to endure in Chile during the recent troubles there. Mr. Hunter is at the Schlosser House while on his way home to Scotland, after spending two years in South America. "The barbarity of the late Balmaceda has not been half told," he said last evening. "Edicts were issued with such alarming frequency that a person did i not know n bat to expect upon awacening from his night's reet When that inhuman although politic order was issued which for bade vessels landing at Chilean ports the people of the inland provinces were greatly troubled for fear that their provisions would be exhausted and that a doom of starvation was impending. Hotel Boarden Had to Suffer. "I was staying in the northern part of the country at the time, and lived at the largest liotel in the locality. After the ediot had been Issued the food at the tablo became al most too poor to eat. The board ers held secret conferences for the pur pose of doing something to change the Older of tilings, and a committee was appointed to wait on the proprietor. The lattcrmet the entlemenand lie, with tears in his eyes, bcised them not to leave him or ho would starve, as the price of everything had risen to an exorbitant figure, and any thing really irood was not to be bad. e weie disponed to lea' e, but be met us with an indisuutable arcument which was to the effect that we should find ouiselves even worse off than we weie if we did go, and looking nt it in that lignt we recognized the truth of the old Chilean's words, and con cluded to make the best of a bad thing. Beer was$l 60 per bottle nt the beginning of the last live weeks o Balmaceda's reign, and other beverages could not be nurcliased tor love or money. The food became steadily worse. A Surprise for the Guests. "The meat gave out, and we became un willing vegetarians for a week or so. Then came the final terror. We sat down to breakfast, ana were surprised to hear the waiter a? k us if w e wanted a steak. Sid we want steak. Well, any hungry man, or any Many who lias ever been hungry, can appre ciate our desires about that time, and ac cordingly a piece of meat about the size of the palm of a man's hand was laid betore us. We ate ravenously w hile the tidbit, as we called it, lasted. At noon and supper tlmo the same kind or meat, of the same size and toughness was laid before us. "The next morning a painful discovery was made. Some one remarked that hoi sea were higher of late and wondered if Balma ceda was going to feed his soldiers on horse meat. At the mention of the word a sort ot pschological occurence happened. Awe lell over the faces of all present. Keen glances were cast at tho meat before them. Then without a word, seemingly by inten tion the men arose m a body and the ladies hurried away Irom the table. Thepropile tor was teen. He confessed that he had been serving horse and mule flesh forbeef. A stormy scene ensued but tiioiesu.lt was tliatweate liciscmeat or none and we ac cepted tne former alternative. It was bar b.u on," and the Scotchman shuddeiedat the thought. JIMlnery Opening To-Morrow.
