THE ARKANSAS REFUGEES.

The General Relief Committee of the Young Mems
Union Christian Association, who have charge OF
the Arkansas refugees, met yesterday afternoon at
their rooms, No. 1876 West Twenty-sixth-st. The
Rev, ]. S. Atwell SAID that H. COppinger, of WASH
iIgton the agent of the Colonization Society, had
told him that the first steamer for Liberia, the
Monrovia, would sail about May g. None of the ref
ugees however would DO able to go on her, as every
passage had been already taken, The next steamer,
the Liberia, would sail about June 1. These steam
ers would not carry more than seyenty-ive passen-
gers each so that in any case all Of the refugees
would not be able to go at the same time. The ref
ugees had only advanced $47S for their passage,
whereas the price of TIE passage Of each was $50.
Those who were able tn pay for their D. sSago could
90. probably on the Iberia, aud the money which
the remainder had advanced GOuld be paid back TO
them.
o A communication was received from the leaders
of the refugees saying chat II the committee would
rent the rooms they now occur ut No. 21S Wes'
Thlrty-seventh-st for the north OF May and FIJI
nsh them with food, they would do their own work
and keep the premises in ORDER The committee
accepted this proposition, and decided to dis
charge the cook, the ianitor and the secretary
who had been employed in the service OF the Icfu-
gees. Charles f. Jones, who has had charge OF the
refugees since their arrival, was asked to take
charge of them for another month. He will have
the entire control of their quarters and of whatever
money aud provisions are gwen TO them. The COM
mittee is willing to help the refugees but intends to
make those able to work support themselves Their
total number is 1876. seven children having died
since their arrival in this city.
