JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. ga few
days ago Joaquin Fortune, a well known
Cuban leader in Jacksonville wrote to Miss
Barton, president of the American Red
Cross society. for aid for the insurgent
wounded in Cuba The reply has been re-
Ceived from Miss Barton. 1t is dated at
Washington, December 90 and says:
1t is not possible that you will attribute
any inaction on my part to want of sym
pathy with or respect for the all-cngrossing
subject which you bring before me, but |
understand that, holding the position that
| do, l am the last person in all our coun-
try who could act independently in n Ctuse

proper and necessary conditions given, |
trust that there will be no lack of sym
Tathy found in the American Red Cross
Hoping for better days for you and all
cerey yours CLARA BARTON,
President American National Red Cross
Mr.. Fortune wrote caustic letter in re-
ply, in which he said:
Miss Clara Barton. Washington: Noble
Madam am in receipt of your favor of
the 10Th inst. in answer to my appeal to
the American National Red Cross in favor
of my suffering countrymen in Cuba. 1t is
n conclusion so extraordinary that | am
fully warranted in bringing 1t to the
knowledge of the American people, that
they may know that existing circumstances
of nature that you do not disclose make
1t impossible for the highest institution of
charity in this country to offer aid to an
American neighbor and friend 1t is my
duty as a Cuban to bring this fact before
the American people that they may decide
conscientiousy if such sentiments are CON
sstent with American charities and Amer
lean ideas of religion.
And |. therefore, joyfully publish your
letter and NV answer giving both to the
public press that this great people and
their congressional representatives. during
their holidays may reflect on what these
existing circumstances mean, feeling as
sured that the seventy millions. who are
just, and brave, and generous, viii not
