WASHINGTON. May l8.-The senate
committee on foreign relations had the
Cuban question under consideration on
the basis Of the report Of the sub.
committee appointed to confer with
the president aud Secretary Sherman.
The report was prepared by Senators
Davis and Foraker, the Republican
members of the subcommittee. Sena-
tor Morgan, the Democratic member,
declining to participate in it. The No.
port consisted Of . concise statement OF
tho contents Of official reports from
American consuls in Cuba, bringing
he information up to within q week
Of the present time. This report con-
firms the newspaper reports as to the
situation Of affairs In the island, and
even goes farther in depicting deplor-
able situation than do most Of the
newspaper stories. Especial stress Is
laid upon the condition of American
citizens in the island. OF these it is
positively stated that there are
Hundrsds 1. . starving Condition
and most wretchedly clothed. Death
Of Americans from starvation are daily
reported. They are scattered in all
parts Of the island and are shown no
consideration whatever, because of
their American citizenship. They are
generally persons who reside on plan.
tations but who have been driven from
heir homes to the towns or cOncentdose
and who, being among strangers with.
out employm are compelled to SUBJ
sist on almost nothing. They are not
allowed to return to their plantations,
even to pick berries or to secure the
least article of subsistence. They are
theoretically under the care Of the
Spanish army. but the army is without
commissariat. They have no means
Of leaving the island. Their condition
is pronounced wholly deplorable. Tho
committee was especially impressed
with this recital and the opinion gen.
orally expressed that the situation
should be remedied if possible.
Even Worse Than imprisonment.
It was considered as placing even
worse aspect upon the question of our
relations to Cuba than the imprison-
ment Of Americans, Of which there are
now comparatively few instances.
The report also indicates q generally
wretched condition of all the inhabit.
ants of the island because of the
scarcity of food and money, and es-
pecially in the centers of population,
and because also Of the pressure of the
most malignant diseases, such as yel.
low fever, smallpox and dysentery.
These diseases the natives Withstand
with comparative ease but they are
especially oppressive to the Spanish
soldiery.
The reports indicate that the Spanish
army is not SO strong now as it was q
year ago, largely on account of these
ravages, while they indicate no dimu.
milton Of the insurgent forces.
The reports upon which the sub.
committees brief was based were from
various consuls, including Consul Gen.
eral Lee. They make no recommends
tions as to American policy but merely
give the situation as they see it.

Not His Intention to chapxe.

In confidence he told them it was
not his purpose at the present time to
change the attitude of the administra.
tion or to do anything which could be
construed BY Spain as a manifestation
Of sympathy with the insurgents. For
that reason, he said, he had refrained
from sending warships to Havana to
protect the interests Of American citi.
zens.
The president told the senators that
20 long a. the status quo was main.
tanned, and until overt acts were com:
mitted' by the Spanish involving the
lives OF property of American citizens
the administration would not change
its existing policy. The senators asked
for some official information about the
situation in Cuba, and complained be-
cause this information had been held
back. The president replied that if the
official reports of Consul General Lee
and other conspls on the islands were
made public they would inevitably

He said he was willing to lot the for.
eign relations committee have all the
information in the possession Of the
government if it would be carefully
guarded. This was really what the
senators wanted, and after their inter.
view with the president, they visited
Secretary Sherman for the purpose Of
arranging with him the rpeans of com.
munfcadngths information. II is prob.
able that no reports will actually be
sent to tho committee. but that the
chairman and certain members will be
permitted to read the reports on file in

Wool Schedule All Rieht.

ers' association of North Dakota
with reference to the proposed wool
schedule of the Dingley bill, stating
that the same is thoroughly satisfac-
tory to the North Dakota association.
The woolen schedule of the present
bill is a marked improvement over
that of the Mckinley law. The rates
on the lst and End class woods are
the same as under the Mckinley law,
but the advantage of the schedule in
in this bill lies in the fact that the
coarse so called "carpet wools" from
China. Bagdad and Egypt principally,
paying under the Mckinley law a
low rate of duty, are now rated as 1st
class wool. At least thirty million
pounds of these woods were imported
as carpet annually, but were convert.
ed into garments and cloths, instead
of carpets, and to meet the require
ments of the manufacturers, the fash.
ions were actually changed, cloaks
