Aenee 4letate: extra caution IN its hand.
ling. The report OF the subcommittee
appointed TO confer with the President
and Secretary sherman was presented to
the full committee. The report consisted
Of a concise statement OF the contents Of
official reports from American consuls In
Cuba, bringing the information up TO
within week Of the present time. This
report confirms the newspaper reports a.
10 affairs In the island, and even goes
farther In depicting a deplorable situation
than do most Of the newspaper stories.
Especial stress II laid upon the condition
Of American citizens la the island. OF
these II IL positively stated that there
are hundreds In a starving condition and
most wretchedly clothed. Deaths of
Americans from starvation are daily re-
ported. They are scattered In all parts
Of the island. and are shown no cOnsid-
GRAFTON whatever because Of their Ameri.
can citizenship. They are theoretically
under the care OF the Spanish army, but
the army IL without cOmmissariat. They
have no means of leaving the island. Their
condition Is pronounced wholly deplora'
BILE. The report also indicates a generally
wretched condition Of all the inhabitants
of the island because of the scarcity of
food and money, especially In the centers
of population, and because also Of the
pressure Of the most malignant diseases,
such as yellow fever, smallpox and dysen-
terry. These diseases the natives with
stand with comparative ease, hut they are
especially oppressive to the Spanish sol
diery. The reports indicate that the Span
ish army 10 not so strong now as 1t was
year ago. largely on account Of these raw.
ages, while they indicate no diminution
of the insurgent forces. The reports up
on which the subcommittee brief was
based were from various consuls, includ-
ing Consul General Lee. They make no
recommendations as to American policy,
but merely give the situation as they
see II.
