resources of the island that 1t will be a
long time before it will again be in condi-
ton to maintain its population, and
pendent upon the soil for their liveli-
hood will suffer.
The consequent suffering can be re-
lieved by the governments furnishing
the unfortunates supplies and medi-
c:nes, but. General Lee takes the view
that this relief must be continued prob
ably for q long time. The proposed
American exodus from Cuba must be
purely voluntary and 1t is not even pro-
posed to present the alternative of deny
ing supplies If destitute Americans re-
fuse to leave the island. It Is simply
proposed to give them an opportunity
to leave If they can better their condi-
tion in the United States. 1t is the be-
lief of General Lee that many persons
will avail themselves Of such an oppor-
tunity. and it is possible that his view
will be adopted by the president
Figures are not obtainable as to the
number of American citizens in Cuba
who are in actual distress and in need
of food or clothing as the result of Wey-
ler's order bringing them into the towns.
The state department Is now in CORE :.
spondence with the consuls by tele-
graph seeking to get this information
as basis for any message the presi-
dent may send to congress on the sub
ject Of relief. But so far as officially
known to the department, from the re .
ports from the consuls made up to this
time the number of Americans in this
condition is between $50 and 200.
In explanation of this small number,
1t is said that most of the Americans.
natives living in Cuba, are employed in
the higher branches Of industries or
professions, and are not actual workers
Of the soil. The sufferers are mostly
naturalized citizens, holding small par
cells of ground upon which they have
depended heretofore for livelihood. 1t
is not doubted that there are more of
this class in need than are now known
to the department, but 1t is hoped in the
course of few days to have fairly
accurate census of them Those to have
charge of this relief are the United
States consuls, and 1t can be stated that
the Spanish government, through it's
here, so far from opposing the
exercise of such charitable offices by the
consuls. has expressed its readinesssto
assist in every proper way in the distri-
button of relief, which is taken to mean
that 1t will guarantee safe conduct for
the transporting Of parties over the
island.

Eastern Republican Senators Are Not
Enthusiastic in Their Support Of
Californa's Interests

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The minor
ity Of the finance committee had a pro-
tratced meeting today. Senator White
says that the Democratic members of
the committee do not favor any substi-
tute bill They intend to oppose the
pending measure, but do not desire to
prevent a vote. ,.... ss..s
| Many Democrats will vote for protec-
tive duties on western products, holding
that the bill, If it passes, should be uni
form In its taxes and benefits. 1t seems
clear that eastern Republican senators
will not be enthusiastically for Califor-
MIA interests.

consul-general are diligently at work

White when Zante currants were being

bate.
AMENDMENTS PROBABLE
WASHINGTON, May 15.-(By Assocl-
ated Press.) The Democratic members
of the finance committee were in consul
tation for two hours on the tariff bill
today. They decided not to offer sub
stitute for the finance committee bill, but
to propose amendments which, while
they will reduce the rates. would. If add
ed to the rates of the Wilson law, pro-
duce sufficient revenue to meet the de-
mands of the government They regard
the committees bill as revenue pro-
ducer and calculate that without the
proposed beer tax and tariff duty it
would bring surplus into the treasury.
On the other hand they regard the house
bill as nearly prohibitive on many Of the
schedules and think that on this account
it would be deficient in the production of
revenue. The Democratic members are
especially critical Of the sugar, glass
and wool schedules, and expect to offer
amendments on all Of them. None of the
amendments have beeh formulated

WAR DOGS MUZZLED.
GREECE'S REPLYTOTHE POWERS
IS CONClLiATORV.
IL willing to withdraw Her Fleet
from Cretan Waters-But Land
Forces Must Remaia There to Pro-
toct Christians.


The reply of Greece to the identical
notes of the powers" has been received at
the various capitals, and II proves to be
much less defiant document than was gen.
orally expected. The previous declaration
of officials at Athens that Greece would
refuse to withdraw her forces from Crete
has been carried out, but in a way that
seems to offer abundant opportunity for
advantageous compromise. The demand
of the powers called simply for the with
drawal of the Greek troops from the ISL
and of Crete and the Greek feet from
Cretan waters. Greece offers to obey the
mandate regarding the feet, but, although
she points out that 1t would be impossible
to withdraw the troops, she expresses a
willingness to place them under the control
of the powers to restore order. This ought
to prove satisfactory to the powers, for
it practically makes the Greek troops
their own, and, moreover, the reply has
general conciliatory tone that seems to
preclude any intention on the part of
Greece of resisting the spirit of the pow
ers' ultimatum.
The reply 10 said TO recognize in fatter-
ing terms that the powers have been ac-
tuated only by high aims, but it makes
the suggestion that the Cretans be al
lowed to choose their own government
and thus determine finally whether they
really prefer autonomy, as claimed by the
powers. 1t is clear that Greece has sue
ceeded in injecting into a refusal to obey

An Eccentric Woman.

Marion s. Hutchinson, Jackson maid
en- woman over 90 years of age and eccen-
trio in the extreme, was found dead in her
home, occupied only by herself. Her &C.
centricities bordered on insanity and her
skill and willingness in handling firearms
has kept the neighborhood in terror for
the last few years. She was addicted to
morphine and her tantrums were feared
in her vicinity. She imagined those about
her home were trying to kill her and it
was not safe to enter her yard. She lived
in the residence portion of the city and
three residences near by have in them
holes made by bullets from her revolver.
Often she suffered the hallucination that
neighbors were under her window con-
spiring to murder her and she claimed a
number of attempts had been made to put
her out of the way by putting poison
through the key hole of her house. She
was evidently averse to callers and con-
tented herself with the company of two
large dogs, which were vigilant in guard
ing the house. Neighbors had not seen
her for three days and the police forced
an entrance and found her lying on the
floor dead. Nothing about her appear
ance or that of the house indicates foul
play, but il is probable that death result
ed from fit or spasm, to which she was
subject. She was finely educated in a
European convent, it is said, and her
piano, with which she was an adept, was
n source of much comfort to her. The po-
lice were unable to locate any of her rela-
tives. FIR. Dubig, who died some years
ago, was relative. She owned her home
and had money in the bank.
