DONORS NAMES A MYSTERY
The Identity of the First Cuban
Fund Subscribers Withheld.
This Is Done by Request-M May Have
Come From Government Officials
Needs OF Sufferers.

The first money subscribed Ia aid of the
Cuban sufferers is the subject Of State
Department mystery. The sum is $4,000
which Judge Day, First Assistant Secretary
Of State, says was sent 10 the State De
partment il. confidence, with the under
standing that the name or names OF the
donors should be kept secret. Judge Day
teIegraphed Consul General Lee yester lay
that this sum and So more were at is
disposal Tie money. II IS understood,
Will be distributed among the consuls in
Cuba Tor placing where il can do the most
good.
The secrecy or the gift has given rise
to dozen or more speculstions Us TO
from whom the money came. One nf the
best theories advanced Yesterday was that
it was subscribed by the President him
/ self, and that would account for the secrecy
imposed on tie State Department.
Another guess was that il is a joint
gift from the Cabinet, and this compaIa-
lively laiee SUM was first announced 70

been issued 10y the President and M.
Sherman. II is natural 10 suppose that

and handsome boom
1t iSknOwn that the Cabinet has ha ! sew
eral conferences on the subject of the
apreal, and in lieu Of a better guess a
joint contribution by the Cabinet probably Y
explains the mystery OF the $1,000.
II is understood that the Cabinet Of
fi,ers viii exert their influence in tue
big cities of their respective States To

very heavy.
At the close of the State Departrn mt
hours yesterday it was stated that 10 fur

The State Department gave out yes
terday the substance of a telegram from
Consul General Lee in Havana, IN which
he specifies SCne of tue supplies that are
most needed at this time FOR the distressed
Cubans. These supplies are as fellor-s:
Summer clothing, secondhand or other
