NEWFOUNDLAND PISH PIRATES.
Qvesec, July 22.—It is not only in Anticosti that there seems to be canse of complaint against the depredations of Newfoundlanders. Le Soleil prints a letter from one Alexander Blais, which merits the serious attention of the Depart» mepvt of Marine and Fisheries, According to this authority, Canadian fishermen are being gradually driven from their own Labrador fishing grounds by Newfoundland pirates and others, who take the best netting places for themselves. Mr. Blais cites the case of one Blandford, of St. John’s, who em-» ploy® no less than two steamers and three hundred men fishing on the Canadian Coast of Labrador. Amongs: those whom this man seeks to drive away, Mr. Blais mentions the name of Mr. A Guay, for~ merly of Reliechasse, notwithstanding that his fishing ground was alotted to him by Captain Joncas.

LIFE AT “HAVANA.
A Pretty Good Time all Round.
Havana’s people have become accus~ tomed to the effects of the American blockade and are tired of watching the movements of the blockading fleet, which prev ously formed one of their chief dis~ tractions, and now now the parks are again frequented by the inhabitants and the various places of amusement are filled.
At the great Tacon theatre the produc-
tion of “La Dame Aux Camelis,” and “Margaretia of Burgona” by a company whose leading lady is Senora Louisa
Martives Casado, a Cuban woman of great beauty, is drawing large audiences from the best classes of society.
Gen. Parrado, the second in command in Cuba, recently gave a breakfast in houor of the Russian army and navy offi: cere, Co). J. Degilinsky and Lieut, Pon- koimoff, and the Swedish artillery Cap- tain, George Bondz, who came to Cuba to join the Spanish army for the purpose of studying the war.
A band of insurgents recently went to the railroad bridge at Arroyo Mondo, vear Candelaria, the province of Pinar Del Rio, and despite the opposition of the garrison of the fort placed a dynamite bomb under the bridge, exploding itand blowing uf the structure.
The last rainfall has been of great bene~ fit to the cultivated lands in this vicinity. The free kitchens for the poor established in Havana, the number of which is steadi- ly increased, feed thousands of destitute persons and more than ever before are showing the charitable sentiments of a city
ial.
The commercial establishments of the city are cootinually making donations for this work ani the government of Captain Gen. Blauco has sanctioned the expendi~ ture of large sums of money to relieve the prevailing distress.

ON THE SENECA.
Awful Sufferings of American Wounded en Route to New York.
New York, July 22.—After a six days voyage of wretchedness and hardship, al- most one hundred wounded and sick sol- diers, and half a hundred passengers ar- rived in New York on the steamer Seneca, which left Siboney on July 14.
It was no way fitted up asa _ hospital ship. There were but two doctors on board, and there would bave been no nurse had not Miss Jeannette Jennings, of the Red Cross Society, volunteered to accom - pany the boat. There were no surgical instruments.
There were few antiseptics, few med = cines and few delicacies. And even the water supply failed.
The water, held in old tanks, grew quickly so bad that it made the well sick ard some of the sick delirious. Withia twenty four hours after the boat left port the last of the little supply of ice vanished, and this added intensely to the misery of the suffering men. There were no ban~ dage?, except as the women tore them from their own clothing.
The eagineers distilled each day a supply of water for the wounded, but the passen- gers had stillto drink the stale water of the tanks. And 80 iosufficieot was the supply, even with these arrangements, that it was frequently feund necessary to bathe the wounds ofthe menwith salt water,
Th: voyage, especially to the seriously woun !ed men, was ove ot borror, and when the S2neza reached New York, those on board werea sombre, gloomy lot of men, whose spirits had been quenched by suffer- ipg.
Captain W. E English, of General Wheeler’s staff, said:
“{t (the trip) was far worse than fight- ing Spaniards, but there was nothing todo bus try to bear it. The misery of the men and the keen agony of the worst suf- ferers made the voyage a terrible one.
“The boat had littleof anything that a hospital ship needs.”’
Dr. Bird, one of the two physicians on the boat, who is said by all to have labored unremittingly, was loath to make any criticism,
‘*It was the absence of surgical instru- ments and delicacies that caused the great~ er part ot the trouble,” he said : “We were not entirely without medicines, but there was a lack of some surgice! necessities.”
THE CARLIST PROGRAMME.
Will Wait till Peace is Concluded.
Lonpon, July 25.—The Madrid corres- pondent of,the Daily Mail says: The Government i3 closely watching the Car- Jists throughout the country. Carlist elubs have been requested to furnish com- plete lists of membere with addresses, and many will probably close rather than com - ply. I have reason to know that when the time comes the outbreak will be general, but Don Carlos will not give the signal unt | peace is concluded or uatil it is known that the peace conditions will be such as to provoke the p-ople to indignation, Mar- - i8 De Corralibo, the represeatative of
on Carlos, it is believed, has gone to Brussels to confer with his chief.

but Dying.
Many _.§- Sick, not Many
WasHIncTon, July, 25—A despatch re- ceived last night from Gen. Shafter by Adjt. Gen. Corbin says that three hundred and ninety-six pew cases of fever of ali classes were reported in his camp before Santiago yesterday. As the same de- spatch only reports four deaths— and wone cf them from yellow fever among the hundreds of cases of fever known to exist in thecamp—the war authorities are more than ever inclined to the belief that the cases of yellow ferer are of mild type. Previous despatches from Shafter and the medical officers of i is corps have indicated the existence in the camp ofa very large number of cases of malarial and dengue fever, the latter being peculiar to the Cuban climate. Some clear cases of yellow fever are reported, but the officials say they are few as com~ pared with those of other fevers.
Calcium Carbide From Sawdust.
Orrawa, July 25.—The project of *ne manufacture of calcium carbide from saw- dustis taking shape. A retort is being erected intLe W © Kdwards Company’s yard in New Ediabturg, and within a tew weeks the machinery will be in place. Briefly the gas is generated in a large re- tort, in which sawdust and limestone have been placed, and then subjected to great electrical force, which fuses the masse. Intense heat is applied for some time, and calcium carbide is produced.

Four
Additional Battleships and
Twelve Destroyers.
The expected statement of the first lord of the admiralty, Geo J. Goschen, on the | Supp'ementary naval programme was | made in the British Hou-e of Commons a few dayeago. He reviewed the original programme, which was considered suffici- ent when it was framed, being based upon the two power system, that the navy of Great Britain must be equal to the coms bined fizets of avy two powers. Bot in consequence of the action of Russia on the same s)stem, the government was compelled to present a supplementary programme, paralleling the Rus-ian increase of six battleships which Gussia proposed to begin in 1898. Only two battleships were taken into ac~ count in the original British programme, and the first lord of the admiralty now added that the house proposed to grant four more battleships, (Cheers.) Con-~ tinuing, Mr. Goschen remarked : “Russian programme provides for four cruisers We propose to build four—(cheers) —and also twelve destroyers. It is estimated that the cost of the new programme will be £8,600,000, making the encire expenditure for the new ships £15,000,000. The bat- tleships will be especially adapted for the passage of the Suez canal.”
