Unvnna, Sept. 17. Advices from
Matanzas report n terrible condition of
neglect at the San Carlos cemetery
there. Twenty-nino bodies gathered
between the 3d and 12th Inst, are un
burled and In on advanced state of de-
'to'mposltlon, Infecting tho whole neigh
borhood and creating a fearful stench.
The bodies had been left unburied be
cause no proper documents accompani
ed them making their but iai regular.
Red tape forbids the ourlal of un
known dead, and most of th unburied
bodies were picked up in the streets
without any means of Identification.
The civil governor, when a protest was
made by the residents and press of
Matanzas, at once ordered the chief of
police to make an Investigation and to
order the Immediate burial of the bod
ies, threatening him and his subordl
nates with severe punishment for such
criminal neglect.
Advices from Calbarlen say that the
condition of the Cuban troops at Camp
Rojas Is dreadful, the Inmates of the
camp lacking food and clothing. Gen

the camp, has addressed a circular let
ter to the business men and planters
of the district requesting that a meet
ing bo held at the Instate Iteforma, In
the neighborhood, to consider ways and
means for relieving the situation, us
he is determined to observe stilctly the
provisions of the armistice which pro
vent the troops from stealing cattle and
other food, while at the same time It Is
Impossible to hold out without relief
until a definite peace Is concluded.
Two well known merchants of Cal
barlen have personally inspected tho
Cuban camp, assuring themselves of
the actual condition existing there,
and they report that the troops are
entirely destitute. They have Issued a
call for a meeting of all the business
men of the city to contribute to the re
lief. These troops have preserved ab
solute order, and have punished severe
ly or handed over to the Spanish au
thorities any one caught stealing even
fruit from the neighboring farms. They
arc entitled to be fed and cared for as
a necessary precaution at this time.
Their prompt relief Is a matter of the
greatest Importance at the present mo
ment, when the sincerity of the human
ity ot the United States is so much
discussed.
Advices from Sanctl Splrltus, In the
Santa Clara province, say that extreme
poverty exists among the lower classes

Sternberg believes the sick do better
In city hospitals than In tents, and has
arranged with several Philadelphia
hospitals to take caro of this class of
Invalids.
There are now retained In the service
only six Pennsylvania regiments thnt

are tired of Inaction, and with no pros
pect of anything than police duty In
the new possessions of Uncle Sam they
want to go home. In the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Pennsylvania regiments
the men have no disposition to make
requisition for overcoats, because they
will have to pay for them. They still

cultyaroso and his company had found that
it would cost about fcl.OOH to crili the sidos and

Mr. Haird said his company would clean
out tho creek north of tho Lehigh Valley

the cxponse for cleaning and cribbing tho
creek from tlio railroad south to tho poiut
whore the creek connects with tho Indian
Itiiigo colliery stream. Helow tho latter

becauso tho P. fc It. C. & I. Co. was responsi

THE
Money Question !
Here it's a question of how
much or how little. No matter
how much coin you have, you'll
find it has more purchasing power
with us than elsewhere. It is not
became your dollars contain more
metal for us, but because we are
satisfied with smaller tolls. II we
can't give you a fair equivalent we
don't want your money.
