WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Presi.
dent to-day sent the following message
to Congress.
"To the Senate and House Of Representa-
tires Of the United States:
Official information from our consulE
in Cuba establishes the fact that q large
number of American citizens In the
island are In a state of restitution, suf-
fering for want of food and medicines.
This applies particularly to the rural
districts of the central and eastern
parts.
The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the nearest
towns where they are without work OF
money.
The local authorities Of the several
towns, however kindly disposed, are
unable to relieve the needs of their own
people and are altogether powerless to
help our citizens.
Inmates GOO to 800 Americans are without
means of support. I have assured him that
provision would be made at once to relieve
them.
To that end I recommend that Congress.
make an appropriation Of not less than $50
900, to be Immediately available for use
under the direction of the Secretary Of State
1t is desirable that a part of the sum which
may be appropriated by Congress should, in
the discretion Of the Secretary Of State, also
be used for the transportation Of American
citizens who desire to return to the United
States and are without means to do 50.

THE EASTERN TROUBLES.

The Porte has replied officially to the
note of the powers and declines to
agree to an armistice until the follow.
ing conditions are accepted:
The annexation of Thessaly, and in
demnity of 10, 0OO, 900 Turkish pounds
about GA ,000, 000) and the abolition of
the capitulations. The Porte proposes
that plenipotentiaries of the powers
should meet at Pharsalia to discuss the
terms of peace, and declares that if
these conditions are declined the Turk
ish army will continue to advance.
The demand for the annexation Of
Thessaly is based upon the fact that
the province was originally coded to
Greece on the advice of the powers
with the object of ending brigandage
and Greek incursions into Ottoman
territory, the Porte believing at the
time that the cession would attain
these objects, but the recent incursions
of Greek bands and the events imme-
diately preceding the war have proved
to the contrary. This is the substance
of the reply.
The Ambassadors met yesterday TO
consider the Porte's answer, which is
regarded rs raising an extremely grave
issue. 1t is believed hat representa-
tions will be made to the Sultan per-
sonally TO induce a modification Of
these terms, but it is foreseen that this
will be very difficult, owing to the atti-
tude of the powerful war party.
If the Porte should prove obdurate
a European conference is not improba-
BILE, although at present Russia is OPP
posed TO this.
1t is regarded as quite certain that
the powers will notlconsent to O retro
cession of Thessaly. Even Germany is
believed to be resolute on this point,
because il would involve a violation of
the Berlin treaty and imperil the peace
of the Balkans.

A letter from Richmond says: "There
is hardly any reason to believe that the
Governor has any intention of trying to
have himself elected to the United

from u dispatch sent from here to the
New York Journal. He certainly could
have no hope OF defeating Senator
Daniel of the democratic nomination,
