No Help for the Refugees who Have
Escaped the Turkish Sword.
Marseilles, (Copyrighted) Sept. %
There exists a condition of affairs in
this city at present which seems to be
a disgrace to Europe and to Armen-
ian associations, generally throughout
the world. Subsisting upon the govern
ment, municipal or private charity here
are 500 unfortunate Armenians, men,
women and children, young and old,
healthy and sick, who succeeded in es-
Gaping from the bloody massacres at
Constantinople and who, one and all.
were buoyed up by the hope on land
ing here of being able to eventually
reach the United States, but weeks
have already elapsed and nothing def
mite appears to have been done for
their relief, much less towards finding
them homes by any of the many as
sociations for the relief of suffering Ar
menians which have been organized in
England or America. These unfortu-
mates, however, seem to be the very
class to which the hand of charity
should be first extended. They are
homeless, nearly all penniless, many en-
during the pangs Of hunger and yet no
body seems willing to steer in and
guide this band of refugees to some
place where they can begin life anew
and under more promising circum-
stances

The Cuban Loyalists Think We Aid
Cuban Filibusters.

London Sept. 29.-The Times has a
letter from its Havana correspondent
bearing upon the forced currency issue
in Cuba, in the course of which he
says:
Even the custom house and the
Spanish bank refuse to accept the
bank notes. 1t is therefore ridiCu-
lous to hope that Capt. General Wey-
ler's decree will maintain them at
par"
The correspondent predicts that
within a few months the bank notes
will be at fifty per cent discount. He
says that the bitterness against the
United States in Cuba is constantly on
the increase, as it is seen that nothing
stops the landing of filibusters.
The Times also has an editorial on
the Cuban situation which says that
the letter from it's correspondent shows
that nothing has occurred to justify a
more cheerful view of the situation.
Spain adds the Times, lis incapable
apparently, Of such resolute and con-
tinous efforts as is needed to recon-
quer the Island"
