shown them the landmark that the
box contained $4,000.

took the prisoner knew anything about

THE DISTRESS in CUBA
President Mckinley Receives
Woeful Information.
AMERICANS SHOULD SEND AID.
Tho sum of 5000 Received and Sent
by Telegraph TO Consui General Lee
This Morning. - Con,r buttons should
BE Sent to Him Direct.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.--The most
profound distress prevails among many
thousands of people in Cuba. Starva.
tion not only impends, but is an actual
fact. The president has been informed
of the facts from sources whose credi-
bilitv cannot be doubted. he has gone
to the length of his constitutional
power in calling the state of affairs to
the attention of the American people.
The state department has used all OF
its authority to mitigate the conditions
there and the letter to the public sent
ont by Secretary Sherman the day be-
fore Christmas pointed out the way to
further alleviate the miserable copdi.
tion Of the reconcentrados.
The sum of 20 900 has been received
by Assistant Secretary Day from GER
tain charitably disposed persons whose
names are not disclosed, and this sum
was remitted by telegraph early this
morning to Consul General Lee for DIS
bursement among the more pressing
cases. II is hoped by the department.
of state that the American people will
come to the relief, and that promp ly,
by subscriptions of money, clothing and
supplies of various kinds. The news

aid in carrying forward this movement.
The machinery for distribution has
been provided by the state department,
and Consul General Lee has UNDER
taken, with the aid of the American
consular officers in Cuba. to give per-
sonal attention to the alienation OF
distress by the distribution OF the gifts
of the American people. One line Of
steamers plying between New \ ork and
Havana Ward line lit is said, has
undertaken to forward any contrjbu-
tions of goods to General Lee at Ha-
vana, and it is believed that the Amer
ican railroads will do their part by
carrying the goods to the seaboard. The
Spanish authorities have consented to
remit all duties on relief supplies so
forwarded. The state department di-
rects that they be sent direct to Consul
General Lee. either money by draft or
check or goods. Consul General Lee
cabled the state department just what
is wanting at this juncture, and his list
is as follows:
Summer clothing, second hand or
otherwise. principally for women and
children medicines for fevers, iuclud.
ing large proportion of quinine; hard
bread, cornmeal, bac on, rice, lard. pota-
toes, beans, peas, salt fish, principally
Goldfish any canned goods, especially
condensed milk for the starving chill
dren. Money will also be useful to Sc
cure nurses, medicines and for many
other necessary purposes.

WASHINGTON. Dec. eO.--The expected
con ference between Secretary Alger
and Mr.. Sifton. the Canadian official,
did not take place. Secretary Aiger had
overrated his strength and found that
he was not sufficiently recovered from
his illness to undertake the work of or.
ranging details Of the relief exp ,dltion
to the r londike. The Canadian visitors
are to remain in Washington for few
days, however, so that the conference
is simply postponed for short time.
Captain Brainard issued today the
advertisements for the supplies that are
to be carrie on the relief expeditions.
They probably will appear in news.
papers in Chicago, Seattle, Portland
and San Francisc). The list Of articles
to be carried has been arranged with
the gre tost care by the quaatermaster's
department, after consultation with
Surgeon General Sternberg, only the
most vitality necessary food articles,
which combine resistance to cold and
decay with great nutritive value being
selected.
From the advices of the Canadians
It is likely that Skaguay will be chosen
instead of yea as the terminal port
vi bnb Etlibl 0AptuAbiVhos hO icuoOh
for this choice is said to be the fact
that Skaquay has wharves at which
the ships can discharge cargo directly.
while ut Dyea there are nothing but
lighters to land the goods.
Mr.. Sifton said that he hoped to con-
clude his visit within the next two
days, and that there was no doubt the
two governments could make an ar
rangement which would be mutually
beneficial in extending relief to the
Klondikers. The minister's attention
was called to reports that Canada might
not be willing to cooperate IN the use
Of the military arm of the government,
as provided by the bill which recently
became law. lie said, however, that
he apprehended no difficulty in that di-
rection, as tho only purpose OF the two
governments was to effect the relief in
the most feasible way possible.

SURPRISING TO THe OFFICIALS.

Nothing In woodford's Note That Should
Madden the spanisrds.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The officials
here are somewhat surprised at the ex.
hibition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note Of Minister Woodford, de-
ivered to the Spanish foreign office the
day before Christmas. While the note
itself will not be made public at pres
ent, it is said that there is no reason
whatever why it should be withheld,
save the fact that the preceding steps
in the negotiations have not seen the
light in the newspapers, and it is desir.
able, when publ cation is made, to
serve the complete chain of events in
natural order.
Possibly the correspondence will
shortly be called for by congress, in
which case it is not likely to be with
held on grounds of public policy. The
last note presented by Minister Wood
ford was in answer to the Spanish note
called forth by Mr.. Woodfords very
first note after his arrival at Madrid.
In the initial note, the United States
minister pointed out the interest Of his
country in an early termination of the
present struggle in Cuba and asked
when such conclusion could be ex-
pected. The Spanish government in its
reply acknowledged our interest in the
matter, but suggested, after stating
what it intended to do to ameliorate
conditions in Cuba, that the United
States could best exercise its good
Offices by stopping filibustering. To
this Mr. Woodford responded with his
note of last week.
1t is said to be O purely argumenta-
tive statement Of the position taken by
the United States. and the facts set
out are substantially those so strongly
drawn IN the presidents message to
congress, Of which it was supposed the
Spanish public had been fully advised
through the newspapers. The most
forcible statement in the note is based
upon the fact collected and published
recently by the United States treasury
department exhibiting the grea ex-
pense to which the United States had
been put by reason Of it's effort to
patrol an enormous coast line in the
pursuit Of few filibusters. and the re-
markable success of the government
officials in stopping these expeditions.
as contrasted with the feeble efforts of
the Spanish authorities to maintain q
patrol around the island of Cuba
