Suffering in Cuba.

Mr.. f. 5. Cairns left here yesterday
for New York. lie went there to pro-
vide financial aid for his sisters and
other family friends in Sagua lie Grande,
Cuba. He recently received letter
from his sister, Miss Bertha Selma
Cairns, in which she writes
I'VE live 10 constant fear of our lives
apd we are looking for a very sad end
Because we are Americans we are in
more danger than if we were anything
else. When brother Jose was obliged to
fly from the island, he left about $50 900
in the hands of Spaniard, who has con-
verified it TO his own use, leaving but Il
mere pittance. 80 that our only choice
seems to be death at the hands of the
Spainards or from hunger Be sure and
seal all letters with sealing wax and adj
dress in care Of the American Consul and
then they will not be opened and read
Mr.. Cairns has also, more recently, re-
ceived letter from the American Con-
sui at that port confirming this distress
ing information. He writes that the
ladies have nearly reached the limit of
their means and while they could easily
support themselves by teaching under
ordinary circumstances, their patrons
are as destitute as they are by reason of
the war and can pay nothing in the way
of tuition for their children.
The brother who was obliged to flee
the country to save his life, has not been
heard from since he left Cuba and they
fear he is not alive. Their situation is
one of great hardship and what makes it
worse there are thousands of others
under equal or greater stress.
