SPANISH BUTCHERY UNDER COVER OF THE WHITE FLAG
IN CAMP NEAR BEJUCAL (Province
of Havana), Sunday Evning, March 6.—
My Dear Friend: I will plead' guilty to
anything but intentional neglect. As 1
promised you before leaving New York, I
now send you the first news of my ad van*
tures with the Cuban army, and will begin
with an account of the most dastardly act
of treachery on the part of Spanish troops
that the war has yet wltr.essed. It was
cold-blooded murder, and not warfare, and
may well make Americans furious with a
race that fights with such tigerish Instincts.
It Is one of those comparatively small In
cidents of a war such as that now brins
waged here that escapes the attention of
the average correspondent, andi yet is im
portant as showing the way in which the
"GENERAL GOMEZ RETURNED THE MURDEROUS FIRE. WE RIDDLED AND FIRED THE HOUSE FRO M WHICH A WHITE FLAG MOCKED
DEATH AND SPANISH TREACHERY. AMERICANS CAN SCARCELY CREDIT THE BARBARISM OF SPANISH WARFARE
rules of civilized warfare are trampled on
by the Spaniards.
Bejucul is a town lying' only about half
a league northwest of us tonight. We can
see the lights of the town. It; that place
occurred the act of treachery that I am
going to describe.
In tihe suburbs, and even In the center
ot the city, we were received by the people
almost with open arms. Genera! Gomez
and his siaff were offered refreshments en
every hand. White Hags and smiles of
welcome were ln every window as we
marched through the place. The general
gave orders that any vandalism or li -
frlngoraen: by his men on the rights of un
armed citizons would meet with summary
punishment.
A« we approached- the southeast cortu
cf the plaza. Lieutenant Colas dismount el
and, with a silver quarter In his hat ,',
ask*d for a glass of milk at an open duo.
on our right. A jug of milk was brought
him. and- several of the boys dismounted.
As poor Colas b'nt over to drink, a volley
of at least thirty shots was poured in:o
us, many balls coming from windows oul
of which hung white flags of peace. Lil u
tenant Colas fell dead, with three balls !r
bis back.
General Gomez was wild with anger,
"We will burn every house from which a
■hot was tired," he shouted.
But It was easier said than dor.c. Tho
bullets were pinging around us on every
side. The surprise had been complete.
Not a man had looked for bullets where
the white flags flow. Some had not time
to regain their horses between the moment
when poor Colas fell and the firing of the
second volley. The bad marksmanship of
the Spaniards was the only thing that
saved us. When we had recovered a little
the order was given to retire behind a wail
that surrounded the building, and which
would serve n« a trench. We reach.r
this trench with a rush, and from behind it
we began to return the volleys of the
treacherous Spaniards with close andi
deadly firing.
The walls of the building were far from
being bullet proof, anil we could tell by the
pandemonium of shrieks and' grouns tint
was soon heard from the Interior that the
rain of balls had' done much damage.
We were merciless. Ifad there been any
disposition to show quarter after the
treachery of the Spaniard's, the sight of
the body of Lieutenant Colas would have
been sufficient to steel our hearts.
Soon it became apparent that the whi:e
flags were being waved in real earnest. But
there was no restraining the mefc now.
Under the protection of that flag one of
their leaders had be-c-n killed', and the flag
had lost its meaning for a time in the eyes
of the Cubans. The volleys rattled'on, and
soon black smoke rolling up from the rear
of tho bundling showed up that It had
caught fl-e.
I learned afterwards that one of our men,
creeping up where the structure was least
guarded had set a torch to the flimsy
woodwork.
Then we "rushed" the building, and made
prisoners of the survivors. The Spaniards
hnd paid dearly for tholr treachery. The
Ulterior of the building was filled with dead
and wounded men, for our bullets had rid
dled the structure through and through,
and done frightful execution, We had
grofct difficulty in rescuing the surviving
and wounded so fast did the flames spread.
We watched the building burn until not a
t tick was left. But no act of violence was
committed against a living soul not In
srrr.s. The general's orders wore impera
tive on that score. Slili we none of us love
Bejural.
We started Immediately on the westward
narch, accounts of which must have
reached you through the dally papers. My
arduous duties made the finding of leisure
time almost an impossibility. There is so
much to tell that the very thought of It
frightens me and yet, I suppose, in New
York you are better Informed in regard to
the general progress of the war than arc
many of the combatants.
But if your Information comes from
Spanish sources you would be as wolL/off
without it. We get copies of Havana pa
pers now and their contents afford us much
amusement. One issue will describe the
impregnable wall of armed forces which Is
being formed to the westward, which will
hem us In, and then dwell on the massing
of Spanish columns to the eastward of us,
thus preventing our escaping to the moun-
tain of Oasblllas. They seem to know all
about what we want to do and where we
want to go.
After we cross these formidable trochas
they tell how beautifully we fell into the
trap and with the usual audacity proclaim
that they have now "got us."
We were given a great treat yesterday
In having an opportunity to watch the
operations of a body of mounted Spanish

LOS ANGELES HERALD t SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 1898
Infantry. A detachment of about fhree
hundred men, who we think belonged to
Galvls' command, made an alleged charge
on our north line of pickets, Just as we
were getting ready to go Into camp. Two
hundred of our calvary were deployed on
either flank of the advancing enemy to pre
vent their disturbing our meal, for we were
all very hungry. These foot soldiers, as
tride on animals with whose eccentricities
they were unfamiliar, presented a very
funny sight. Their effort to maintain a
line was amusing. The average gait was a
slow gallop. Some were trying to urge
their animals out of a trot, while others
were making desperate efforts to hold back.
The faces of the riders wore an expression
which was ridiculously serious; in some
cases actually pained. Arms, legs and ac-
coutrements were doing a kind of windmill
act, against which there was an evident
protest on the part of the horses. One offi
cer could be heard calling and most of the
troops were yelling "Whoa!" regardless of
the fact that their legs and swords were
beating unmercifully against the flanks of
their horses.
On they came In spite of themselves. Not
a soul seemed to think of drawing a weap
on; they were too Intent on the manage
ment or rather mismanagement of their
steeds. Our boys became so Interested In
the funny spectacle that they were power
less to open tire on the enemy for laughing.
The Spaniards got within eighty yards of
us when this same officer called out "Whoa!
Halt! There are the lnsurrectos."
At this we all broke Into a yell of laugh
ter and some forty random shots from re
volvers were fired In the direction of the
enemy.
The effect was simply marvelous. Most
of the Spaniards grabbed one rein and.
with a desperate tug, wheeled their horses
in small circles, which of course caused
collisions on all sides. The animals re-
belled at this sawing of bits and there was
a general stampede.
Many were dismounted, while the main
body eventually got started In the%»ildest
retreat I have ever witnessed.
Those on the ground yelled for their flee
ing companions to wait. Arms and ammu
nition were dropped on all sides. Some got
off and tried to lead back their disgusted
horses.
Four miles north was their unmounted
infantry to whom, I suppose, they told
a tale of their first glorious cavalry charge
on Gomel. Those of our command who
Witnessed It could be heard through the
night laughing in their sleep.

ALASKA'S FISH SUPPLY
Stories Showing Abundance of the
Water Food Supply
"The waters of Alaska, both oceanic and
Inland, have a food supply equal to the
demands of a continent," said fl. C. Dom
ing, of Vancouver. "Nobody who has not
actually seen the teeming life In these wa
ters can believe the truth. In Bering sea
there are fishing banks where cod and
menhaden are caught in numbers that put
the Newfoundland banks away in (he
shade. The herring runs are enormous.
I have seen the peculiar ripple caused by
herring shoals extending over the surface
of the sea as far as the eye coultfreacll,
and fishermen tell me they are actually
Increasing, notwithstanding the terrible
slaughter by seals and a black fish, which
not only eats fish, but catches seals, and
when wounded will attack an ocean
steamer.
"But it is the salmon runs that excite
the greatest wonder. These fish go up the
rivers in the spring and early summer to
spawn, and sometimes in the shallow parts
of a stream are so thick that they actually
climb over each other, and the Indians and
others secure all they want with clubs and
pitchforks. When they encounter a per
pendicular fall they leap to an astonish
ing height, and millions are killed by fall
ing back to the water and rocks. Only the
strongest succeed in reaching the highest
points on the stream, and they are gener
ally so battered up that when they are
caught on their return they are not con
sidered fit for food by the white residents
of the coast. I have seen the banks of the
Skagit and the Snoqualmle, Washington
streams, piled two feet high with dead sal
mon, that are hauled away in immense
numbers to enrich the farm lands, and yet
there' Is apparently no diminution In the
vast numbers that come from their winter
home in the deep sea each season. Some
idea of the wonderful extent of the salmon
fisheries may be obtained from the fact
that the salmon runs extend from the Co
lumbia to the Yukon, including a coast line
of more than 2000 miles.
"The strange creatures of the sea that
are usually found in tropical waters are
also found here. I have seen an octopus,
with arms fifteen feet long, caught in Seat
tle harbor, and sea anemones, sea cucum
bers, sea urchins, starfish, moonflsh, dog
fish ancf sharks are to be found everywhere
ln the greatest abundance. Rock cod, sea
bass, ling and other game fish of the sea
are very plentiful, and clams are so abund
ant that every saloon has clam bullion on
tap free to every comer. The Northern Pa
cific and Bering sea are wonderful store
houses."—Denver Republican.

CONSUMPTION, THE GREATEST SCOURGE
Of the Human Race-One Man in Seven Tainted With This
Disease—A Statement of Its Principal Cause.
Illogical Methods of Treatment—Th* Origin of the Disease Ignored—L^ a l Treatment
Only in General Use—The Superior Methods of Oriental Physicals
\ 1
HISTORY OF SOME REMARKABLE CURES—THE TOO AND WING HERB COMPASS RECORD
Statistics toll us that one In seven of the
human race Is tainted with consumption,
doubtless the most destructive scourge of
mankind. Most physicians believe It to be
contagious and argue in favor of a quaran
tine against it. The state board of health
of California has repeatedly discussed the
advisability of preventing consumptives
from the east from entering the state on
the ground that their presence here endan
gers the lives of Callfornlans.
IRRATIONAL METHODS OF TREAT
MENT
The usual methods of treating consump
tion have little reference to the origin of
the disease. Its Hunt manifestations are In
the lungs. In its worst form it takes the
shape of tuberculosis, which sometimes not
only destroys the tissues of the lungs, hut
permeates the whole body. When this stage
Is reached In the progress of the disease
there is little hope of permanent relief
from any known treatment. This is known
as the third stage of consumption. A cure
is possible in the tlrst und second stuges.
But most methods In vogue are extremely
Illogical. Nearly all are forms of local
treatment for the lungs, which disregard
the origin of the disease entirely. The ad
vocates of these methods assume that, if
the tuberculous deposits In the lungs can
be removed or destroyed, the disease will
disappear. This does not follow by any
means, for the reason that the cause may
atlll exist even after Its effects are re
moved from the lungs. If this is true, then
the effect will again follow the continued
existence of the original cause.
THE CAUSES OF CONSUMPTION NU
MEROUS
The fact that consumption Is contagious
induces physicians to overlook the very nu
merous causes of the disease other than
contagion. The truth is that consumption
Is not contagious for a healthy man or wo
man. Unless the tissues of the lungs and
air passages are congested or Inflamed the
germr. of consumption will not effect a lodg
ment In them. Hut every cause that tends
to depress an individual's vitality, to force
upon him a tendency to repeated colds, to
catarrh, bronchitis or other disease which
will Irritate the lungs and air passages
paves the way for a case of consumption.
Indigestion and disorders of tin- stomach,
liver and kidneys are remote causes of con
sumption and must be removed before there
can be a cure. In fact, thousands of cases,
if unsuspected difficulties with the vital or
gans were removed the cough and other
manifestations of a disease of the lungs
would disappear at once.
THE ORIENTAL VIEW
This is the view of consumption taken by
Chinese physicians, who are the most
skilled diagnosticians In the world. Drs.
Foo and Wing of the Foo and Wing Herb
Company, have had much successful expe
rience In treating this dreaded disease.
Their method of pulse diagnosis goes be
yond the final manifestation of a virulent
disorder, namely the cough, which Is fre
quently the most distressing symptom of
consumption. They can determine the ex
lent of the ravages made by the disease
upon the other organs of the body, and by
treating these as well as the lungs, they
accomplish cures in many eases that local
treatment of the lungs alone utterly lulls
to relieve.
SOME OF THE CAUSES
Among the causes recognized by Chinese
physicians which, sooner or later, lead to
consumption are the following: A cold,
either one which settles in the stomach or
liver or one which settles In the lungs. In
the latter case there Is inflammation which
causes the lungs to till with phlegm. The
resulting cough wears out the muscles and
nerves connecting the lungs and the spinal
cord and deprives the lungs of the elements
of nutrition which should nourish them,
through the channels of circulation. Asa
consequence the lungs waste away and
break down.
Poisoning through the use of minerals for
medication, or for other reasons, such as
mercury, morphine, iron, strychnine or ar
senic.
Malarial poisoning, which may lie dor
mant In the system a long time and then
weaken some of the vital organs. When It
settles In the stomach it creates an inflam
mation rendering digestion Imperfect and
finally affecting the lungs In this way.
The foul air of mines, laundries, dye
houses, paint shops, etc.. which poisons
and weakens the lungs. In these cases a
cold soon develops into a virulent disorder.
Grief, anxiety or Intense menial applies*
tion too long continued. The strain upon
the nervous system affects the circulation.
The stomach does not receive sufficient
blood to enable it to perform its functions
properly and the lungs are finally affected.
Sexual excess (if any kind. Venereal poi
soning, lack of care, with women, before
or after child-birth. A cold taken during
menstruation, miscarriages, etc. Forms of
this general cause are very numerous. They
produce consumption either through spe
cific poisoning or through a general weak
ening and breaking down of the system,
which finally manifests itself In the lungs.
Direct injury to the stomach and digest
ive powers, from Improper food, too little
food or too much, irregularity with meals,
too much liquid at meals, eating between
meals, chewing tobacco, gum or even tooth
picks, smoking, which dries out the juices
of the system. Some of these causes are
very remote, to be sure, but by constant
operation for a long time they at last pro
duce consumption. The wearing of corsets
also sometimes ends in consumption. Apart
from those cases which are a direct result
of exposure, it Is safe to say that nine out
THE FOO AND WING HERB COMPANY
THE DANGERS OF HEALTH
A French Scientist Fears Population
Will Increase Too Fast
The marquis de Nadalllac, a French sci
entist, tolerably well known here through
his work on "Prehistoric America," has
been recently engaged In calculations that
are curiously suggestive. They concern
the clangers of health. Since the memory
of man runs not to the contrary, or, more
definitely, since the late Jeremy Bentham
Inaugurated the doctrine of the greatest
good of the greatest number, there has
been an effort, tentative yet perceptible,
to get things shipshape, to provide through
arbitration against war, to improve sani
tation, to fell disease, to foster matrimony
and simplify existence.
One does not need to be prophetic to as
sume that ultimately the effort will suc
ceed. But consider the result. What with
universal peace, universal sanitation, the
fanging of the microbe and continuous
matrimony, in no time at all—ln two cen
turies at most—De Nadalllac declares that
the earth will be overpopulated and that
there won't be enough food to go around.
If he Is right, then, indeed, the struggle
for life will begin In earnest, ancljnot of in
dividual with Individual, but of nation with
with nation, a struggle such as history
has never known and which will result in
the survival of Ihe fittest—providing al-
ways survival there be. It will be the
of ten cases of consumption have their
origin In derangements of the vital organs,
finally affecting the stomach and then the
lungs. These derangements create the con
ditions In the lungs which make contagion
possible.
COMMON SENSE METHOD OF TREAT
MENT
The above views of the origin of con
sumption will commend themselves to any
one who will devote a little thought to the
subject. On no other theory can the
constant and alarming spread of this dis
ease be accounted for. because consump*
tlon certainly Is not contagious In the sense
that smallpox, scarlet fever and diphthe
ria ure. If It were It would wipe the human
race off from tho face of tho earth In fivo
years or less. Contuglon Is only one of nu
merous causes, and If tho others did not
exist v vast majority of the cases would
never occur.
This being true, the rational method of
treating consumption Is to treat the whole
body and especially those organs which
have been Impaired In their action. The
blood must be putitlod; the digestive pro
cesses must be assisted; the liver and kid
neys must be strengthened. In many cases
when tho other vital organs have been re
stored to a normal activity the lungs will
take euro of themselves. But when these
are full of poisons, or are Injured as a re
sult of inflammation, or are congealed, as
they often arc when diseased, nature must
also be assisted In repairing them. Above
all, the strength of the patient must bo
sustained, while his food must not ho stim
ulating or overheating, or too strong In any
way.
BENEFITS OF THE HERBAL REME
DIES
The herbal remedies accomplish these re
sults. They are natural In their action.
They are allied to those forms of vegeta
tion Intended by the Almighty for the fod
of man. They purify the blood and assist
tho vital organs In removing poisonous and
waste materials from the body. They pro
mote a secretion of tho digestive Juices
and so restore the powers of digestion and
assimilation. They are In themselves foods.
In great measure they take the place of
other foods. They are readily assimilated
into tho system. They will build blood and
good, sound flesh faster than all of the
beef teas, tonics, milk punches, cod liver
oil and beef's blood ever given to consump
tives. It Is not what tho invalid takes Into
his stomach, but what he digests there thnt
makes him strong. The oils and other con
centrated toods so often prescribed accom
plish nothing If they are not digested. But
invalids have been known to gain flesh on
a little milk and rice when assisted and re
inforced by the herbal remedies. The diet
prescribed Is always plain, simple and re
stricted, but It Is enough, becuuse It Is
thoroughly digested. As It Is plain tho
stomach Is not cloyed by material of which
It can make no use. Hence the appetite
steadily Improves and the patient Is soon
able to take a greater variety of food.
LIMITS OF SUCCESS WITH THESE
REMEDIES
it would be foolish to assert that all cases
of consumption are curable by those reme
dies. Everybody knows that tuberculosis
in Its advanced stages Is Incurable. But
all cases in tho earlier stages may be bene
lited. Moreover, tho pulse diagnosis often
shows that cases supposed to he consump
tion are not consumption at all; that tho
principal difficulty Is with some one of the
vital organs other than the lungs, and that
the cough, which Is often distressing, is
caused primarily by a poisoned or weak
ened condition of some other portion of the
body manifesting itself through tho lungs.
Even hemorrhages are not necessarily nn
Indication of consumption. They often
come from other causes and are often read
ily curable. No sufferer from so-called
"lung troubles" should despair or give tip
without a thorough trial of these remedies.
AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
The case of Mrs. E. Ross Brlttoru of 60«
Fast Twenty-first street, Los Angeles, Il
lustrates many of the foregoing state
ments. Mrs. Hrltton says:
LOS ANGELES. Cal., Oct. 3,1897.
Drs. Foo and "Wing, Los Angeles:
Oentlemen: In November last I took
a severe cold which settled on my lungs.
My cough became so bad that I was
alarmed and consulted a physician, who
told me that my lungs were In a very
bad condition. 1 did not feel satisfied
with his diagnosis, and consulted oth
ers until 1 had consulted six of the best
In Los Angeles. They all ngreed that I
had quick consumption, but none
seemed able to help me. I Anally wont
to Dr. Foo, and, after hearing his diag
nosis of my case, I commenced taking
his medicine. Within two weeks I was
greatly Improved and In two months I
felt like a new woman. My cough was
entirely gone, my complexion had
cleared up and my flesh seemed firm and
natural. The poisoned and weakened
blood seemed to be removed from my
system and to be replaced by new and
stronger material. The old blood from
which I received no strength or nour
ishment had been made new. I have had
no return of the hemorrhages or other
symptoms since I ceased taking the
medicine, several months ago.

A CURE THAT HAS BEEN PERMA*
KENT
Mrs. M. H. Wilson of Rodlanda was
treated by Dr. Foo for lung troubles and
cured early ln 1894. Her case Illustrates
mnny points, especially the good results of
the diet employed ln connection with tho
herbal remedies and tho fact that the cure*
made by these remedies are permanent
Mrs. Wilson writes:
REDLANDS, Cal., Sept. 4, 18CT.
Drs. Foo and Wing, Los Angeles:
Gentlemen: For many years I had
suffered from a variety of complications
which threatened to end In an Incurable
caso of consumption. I hud had In grippe
and throat troubles and my lungs were
affected. I took treatment from many
physicians ln Connecticut, where I waa
then residing, but all tho treatment and
all the medicines failed to accomplish
a cure. The doctors ilnally advised me
to come to California. Some tlmo after
arriving In Rediands I heard of Dr.
Foo and consulted him. Ho proscribed
for me and placed mo upon n diet which,
although very plain and simple, accom
plished more for me. together with the
herb tons, than all the tonics, raw
meats, eggs and other so-called
strengthening foods ordered by my for
mer physician had been able to do.
I was pleased with Dr. Foo's methods
from the commencement. His diagnosis
was so correct that It at once gave m*
confidence ln him, and the benefit that J
1 received cume so soon and continued I
so steadily that this confidence was 1
confirmed. I was therefore encour- a
aged to continue tha treatment for m
eleven months,, nt the end of which ■
tlmo I was cured of my lung trouble. mL\
This was more than three years ago. Mi
and. since then, although my physical MM
condition has been delicate and I lack LW
tho strength that I had before my first mm
sickness, yet I have been comparatively
well and have had no return of the
troubles with my lungs. I believe that
my cure was as complete as I could have
possibly expected, and the long time
which has since elapsed shows that it
was permanent.
QUICK CONSUMPTION AVERTED
Mr. J. F. L. McLaln of San Bernardino 1*
one of those who have profited by the her*
bal treatment ln pulmonary dlsoases. Writ*
Ing under date of April 8, 1897, he describes
his first acquaintance with this system ot
medicine and then continues as follows:
Later I was taken with what appeared
to bo a very severe cold, resembling ar
attack of pneumonia, and was for soy*
oral weeks in a hospital at Riverside.
I then went to see Dr. Foo. He told me
that I was threatened with an attack
of quick consumption, but said: "YoV>
have come tome in tlmo to save yourself.
I will remove the poison from yotnt
lungs and ln a short time they will \
grow up and be strong again. My "*
treatment will stop the disease where
It Is and prevent It from going any
farther, and will heal the lungs and
cause them to grow again and to become
as strong as before." I took his treat
ment for three or four months and tha
result was as he had predicted and
promised. I was entirely cured of the
difficulty with my lungs, which have
never troubled me since.
CONCLUSIVE PROOF
Wo have many other similar testimonial*
of the efficiency of the Oriental herb treat
ment ln these diseases. But the above In
stances surely Illustrate all of the points
of our argument. They show, without
question that muny cases of pulmonary
disorder which are threatening and which
undoubtedly might load to the most seri
ous results If permitted to continue can be
cured by this treatment. It offers a chance
for health well worthy of a trial to all who
find themselves slipping Into the grasp of
this Insidious disease.

Kentucky Society's Dissecting Room
Society in this city has a new form of
amusement. The members of the fin da
sleele arc tired of germans, balls and card
parties. They want something hovel, and
it looks as If some of them, at least, have

the young women, It is said, were at first
somewhat timid about going where the
"stiffs" were being used for the instruction
of students, but now they have become
so bold ub to actually put their hands on
the cold, decaying flesh. What will society,
come to next?— Louisville Dispatch.
