The solicitation here Of the lU1th an

recalled 90 some old B0stonians the

that his health. which had been shaken

Mathew, when in Ireland, had signed an

the withdrawal of the invitations

Notwithstanding these difficulties, FIR.
Mathew labored with dauntless zeal in

IT is believed that the railroad COM
missioners will shortly approve the plans
for the Back Bay station of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford rail-
road, with some slight notifications
which are agreeable to the railroad
companies. The objections made to the
plans have been of a general nature,
and, while the architects themselves are
not especially pleased with the idea of
the station as it will be at this point on
Dartmouth street, the railroad company
would have no other site, and the plans
possibly are as good as could be made
to meet the difficulties which are to arise
from the building of an independent sta
ton on the outside of the Y formed by
the Boston and Albany and the New
Haven tracks. Just how much of nui-
sance the smoke will be remains to be
seen, but it is planned TO have locomo-
tives stop directly under the smoke
vents, and forced draft of air may be
used This may be ordered by the rail
road commissioners.

number of American citizens in the Is

applies particularly to the rural dis.
tricts of the central and eastern part.
The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the nearest
towns where they are without work
or money. The local authorities in sev-
eral towns, however kindly disposed, are
unable to relieve the needs Of their own
people, and are altogether powerless to
help our citizens. The latest report Of
Consul-General Lee estimates that from
six to eight hundred Americans ara
without means of support. have as
sured him that provision will be made
at once to relieve them. To that end I
recommend that Congress make an ap-
preparation of not less than $50,00 to be

SENATE DEBATE
A Unanimous Vote Favoring the Press
identia1 Plan

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Cuba en-.
crossed the attention of the senate to-
day. The public interest in the eubject
was shown by the great crowds which
besieged the galleries throughout the
day. Among the occupants of the dip.
lomatic galleries were Sir Julian Paunce-
fOte, the British ambassador, and Minis
ter Hatch of Hawaii, and in the reserved
gallery was General Daniel Sicklee ex-
United States minister to Spain. Neither
the Spanish legation in Washington nor
the Cuban junta was represented so far
as could be observed
Two phases of the subject were pre-
|sented. First came the question OF re-
lief to destitute and starving Americans
in Cuba, and at o'clock Morgan's reso-
luton caused spirited debate. The first
question was presented in the presidents
messtage as soon as the session opened,
Immediately following it's reading
Davis, chairman Of the committee on
foreign relations, presented favorable
report on a joint resolution originally
introduced by Gallinger appropriating
$50, 900 for relief of American citizens IN
Cuba, as follows:
Resolved, By the senate and, house Of
Representatives of the United States in
congress assembled, that the sum Of
$50, 900 be and the same Is hereby appro-
pristed out of any money in the treas
ury not otherwise appropriated for re-
lief of destitute American citizens in the
island of Cuba said money to be expend-
ed at the discretion and under the direc-
tion of the president of the United States
in the purchase and furnishing Of food.
clothing and medicine to such citizenn
and for the transporting to the United
States of such of them as desire, and who
are without means to transport them.
sslvec
Davis asked for immediate considera-
ton of the resolution and there was no
objection. The only speech made was
that of Gallinger. He said he had been
impressed at the great mass meeting
attended by 5000 persons yesterday with
the statement made there by corre-
spondent who had Travelled through the
stricken district of Cuba.
This gentleman had stated that there
was an abundance of food in Cuba and
that it was needless to give relief in that
direction. The real trouble, he said.
was that the Cubans were herded in the
towns and prevented from going out to
get the food. The most effective relief,
Gallinger said would be a demand by
the president and the government that
the Cubans be released from their bond
age in the towns and permitted to go
where they could secure food. The sem
ator was ready to assume his share Of
responsibility for such step. Still. if
the resolution just reported gave come
measure of relief. he would heartily sup
port 1t without urging the other plan oe
relief he had suggested.
The resolution was then put upon ~
passage and without division It passed
unanimously. there being no response to !
