WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The most
profound distress prevails among many
thousands of people in Cuba. Starva-
ton not only impends, but is an actual
fact. The president has been informed
of the facts from sources whose credi-
bility 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
out by Secretary Sherman the day be-
fore Christmas pointed out the way to
further alleviate the miserable condi-
ton of the reconcentrados. Monday
the sum of s., 200 was received by. As.
sistant Secretary Day from
Certain C%haritably Disposed Persons
whose anne are not disclosed, and this
sum will be RENTED by telegraph at
once to Consul General Lee for dis
bursement among the more pressing
cases. 1t is hoped by the department
of state that the American people will
come to the relief, and that promptly,
by subscriptions of money, clothing
and supplies of various kinds. The
newspapers are expected to lend q gen.
erous aid il carrying forward this
movement. The machinery for distri.
button has been provided by the state
department and Consul General Lee
has undertaken, with the aid Of the
American consular officers in Cuba, to
give personal attention to the a)levia.

the gifts of the American people.

ed until tomorrow.

to him about it. She also said he had
cursed her in the presence of officer

of the continuance of the case, the

He Says he has Lots of Property and
Was Indignant
Chas. Lohse or Lesser, who was ar
rested yesterday by Officer McGoldrick
and whose pockets We're so well load
ed with various and sundry articles
was before Judge Lewis this morning
to answer the charge of suspicious
character which had been placed
against him on the recorders docket.
He attempted to explain what he was
doing, who he was, etc, but his state
ments were so contradictory that the
recorder decided that he didn't know
himself, or wouldn't tell and fined him
$40.
Lesser claimed to be a stone cutter
and said that he had worked in all the
large cities in the United States but
only last week he told Officer Mitchell
that he had been a sailor all his life.
Yesterday at police station, when ar
rested, he said he had purchased the
handsome umbrella and walking cane
which he carried, only few days be-
fore for which he had paid IS. Today
he stated that he bought them two
years ago in New Zealand where he
had went to regain his health, injured
by falling from a building on which
he worked in Washington territory.
He also claimed to own property in
st. Louis and several other large cit
les, and asked that an officer accom-
pany him to the rear of the old Nav
erick printing office on Avenue E
where he claimed to have a valise con-
tafning his deeds and some clothing.

BATTLES RUN.

Officer Andy Battle had quite a run
yesterday afternoon. He was over to-
ward the l. & G.. n. depot and heard
the sound of a police whistle in the di-
rection of Dolorosa street and. sus-
pecting his presence was urgently
needed got a move on him, like a bron-
cho coming home from second base
when the umpire isn't looking, only
to find that the proprietress of the
keystone saloon on DOlorosa street
wanted him to arrest her brother who
was so we'll under the influence of in
toxicants that he could not have es-
capped the officer had he been twice
the length of time in arriving.
The officer, after putting and blowing
a while arrested him, however and took
him to police station wher he gave his
name as Leonard Castillo.
This morning he pleaded guilty to
the charge of being drunk and was
fined 81 by the recorder.

POOR LOCK.

Treated to Beer Until his Funds Were
Exhausted and Then Got Tilted.
Jessie Martin, a pretty variety thea
tire girl and Lock Wing, a little sawed
off native of the Celestial empire, were
before Recorder Lewis this morning on
the charge of fighting, but both cases
were dismissed.
Locks story was the old one of treat
ing until his supply of cash had been
exhausted and then being thrust aside,
TO allow his charmer to gather in some
one else and his testimony created con-
siderable merriment in court, he him
self joining in the laughter occasion
ally.
He testified that the woman had in
duced him to treat her to bottled beer
in the Washington theatre at 81 a bot
tie until he had finally invested in
about eight or nine bottles of the de-
liciOus fluid, when suddenly he dis
covered that he had spent all his hard
earned cash and would be compelled
to quit.
They then began quarreling which
resulted in a fight between the two,
and which finally resulted in the arrest
of both by Special officer Adkins.
Recorder Lewis expressed the belief
that Door Lock had been punished
enough and advised him to go his
way and not get into such trouble
anymore.
Lock is a laundryman and a hard
worker.
