days ago. A week ago Monday Powers
received letter from Mr.. Palma Of
New York, the head Of the Cuban re-
lief corps Of the United States, instruct
ing him on the authority of Console de
Quesada to collect funds: and turn
them over to the New York Office.
On Friday Don Console de Quesada,
under orders of Director General
Palma, came to Chicago to inquire into
the relief fund being collected by Pow
ers. It is said that Powers sent word
to New York that he had $500 and 10
carloads Of goods. e. F. Cragin accom-
panied Don Quesada to the Office of
Powers and had talk with him. It
was found that he had only about $500
and but a limited supply of clothing,
which he turned over. It is not known
