WASHINGTON, May 1S.-After a long
conference with Secretaries Sherman,
Gage, Alger and Long and Attorney
General Mckenna, during which Sen
ator Davis, chairman of the senate for
eign relations committee, was admit
ted, the president sent the following
message to congress, which was read
at the opening of the session of each
house:
To the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States:
Official Information from our consulS in Cuba
establishes the fact that large number of
American citizens in the island are in a state of
restitution, suffering for want of food and med
icineS- This applies particularly the rural
districts of the central and eastern parts
The agricultural classes have been forced
from their farms into the nearest towns where
authorities of the several towns however
kindly disposed. are unable to relieve the
needs OF their own people and are altogether
power1esS to help citizens
The latest report of Consul-General Lee eSti-
mates that from eco to 500 Americans are with
out means of support. have assured him that
provision would be made at once to relieve
them.
To that end recommend that congress make
an appropriation of not less than $50, OOO to be
Immediately available for use under the direc-
ton of the secretary of state 1t is desirable
that a part of the sum which may be appro-
priated by congress should in the discretion of
the secretary of state. also be used for the
transportation of American citizens who. de-

TO FIGHT LABOR UNIONS.

Chicago Employers Form a Combina ton
Carry on War of determination.
CHICAGO, May 1S.-A war of exter-
mination against sympathetic strikes
in the building trades has been de-
clared by a combination of Chicago
contractors, employers and other bust
ness men. A serious conflict with Or
ganized labor is feared before the cru
SADIE is ended. The employers say they
will make every effort to attain the
desired end through cooperation
and arbitration with the building
trades council and affiliated unions,
but that, if peaceful means fail,
general lockouts, wage reductions
and even legal proceedings will
be resorted to in order to force the
labor organization to terms. Steps
were taken yesterday toward the or
ganization of the employers who are
to enter a finish fight against the
labor trust" The new combination
will represent many millions of dollars
invested in business, giving employ
ment to tens of thousands of skilled
workmen. 1t will be organized on the
same general lines as the building
trades council, with two delegates
from each organization of bosses, with
one additional delegate from each so

TERRIBLE CHICAGO CRIME.
A Sausage Maker Accused of Numbering
His Wife and Burning Her Body.

His Wife and Burning Her Body.
CHICAGO, May 1S.-Adolph L. Luet-
CERT, well-known sausage manufac-
turer, was arrested yesterday on the
charge OF having murdered his wife.
Luetgert made an assignment about
ten days ago, and about the same time
Mrs. Luetgert disappeared. 1t was at
first supposed she had committed
suicide a result of her husbands
failure. The river was dragged, but
with no result, and for several DAYS
detectives have been working on the
murder theory. The police claim to
have direct evidence that Luetgert
killed his wife in the basement of his
sausage factory on Diversy street. and
that her body was destroyed, with the
object of hiding all traces of the crime.
The police will show, they say, that
Luetgert persuaded his wife to accom-
pany him to his sausage factory on the
evening of May L; that. upon getting
to his building, he choked her to death
or to insensibility; then he threw her
into a vat containing powerful acid,
and completed the work by casting the
body into an intense fire. This is the
direct charge against the prisoner.
The main evidence in support of it are
two gold rings which belonged to
Mrs. Luetgert and which were found
by the police in a vat in the sausage
factory. One of the rings found in the
vat was the wedding ring of Mrs.
Luetgert. The police believe that
they will be able to connect Luetgert
with two or three other murders of
women. His object in making way
with his wife is said to have been a
desire to enjoy the company of other
women

The Brewers of the United States Organic
ing for the Coming Battle.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Probably the
most interesting fight which will be
made on any of the schedules of the
tariff bill will be that which will be
directed against the increase in the
beer tax. The brewers of the United
States are already organizing for bat
tie. Their influence is undoubtedly
great, but the SIGHT they have against
them is to be the hardest in which
they have ever engaged. The present.
tax on beer is 81 a barrel. There is,
however, a rebate of ~ cents which
makes the real tax 921a cents barrel
The senate bill proposes a tax of S1.44
straight, or an increase of 5115 cents
barrel The increase means question
of millions year to the brewers and
naturally they are much agitated over
the prospect.

KANSAS RAILROAD RATES.
Administration Determined Have q
Greatly Reduced Schedule.

Greatly Reduced Schedule.
TOPEKA, Kan, May 1S--According
to the common gossip, it is the plan of
the state administration to clinch, with
a maximum rate law, any reductions
made in freight rates by the railroads
at the coming conference of repre-
sentatives of Kansas lines with the
state board of railroad commissioners.
The reduced schedule as agreed upon,
if it is, at the conference, will, it is
said, be fixed as the maximum rate in
the law. The populists will let the
railroads take the initial step of vol
UNFAIRLY agreeing to a certain reduced
rate and then they will do the rest.
The administration is working to Sc
cure a horizontal reduction of from
seven to ten per cent. in the present
rates, and if this is accomplished the
legislature will be called together i'm
mediately to enact the rates into law
before the railroads have an opportu-
nifty to raise them.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Loie Fuller, the

yesterday. said: 1.-The treatment dealt
out to the helpless Cubans by that
monster, Weyler, is almost beyond be-
lief. He is waging war of extermi-
ration and his victims are largely
women and children, who are often
brought in from the fields and shot
like dogs the plea that they are
lettering on the outskirts. Do
know of any particular outrages?
Yes, indeed. Why, 1 was told of
a Spanish officer who bought the
16-year-old daughter of an insurgent
general at an auction and after he had
her three days sold her to house of
i'll fame. 1 know of a whole family
that was arrested and fined because
the daughter refused to surrender her
self to a Spanish officer. A woman is
not safe on the streets of any of the
towns. Crimes that are a disgrace to
civilization are committed daily and
nothing is said about them. The peo-
pie are afraid to talk. 1 would not
dare give you the name of a single in

Crittenden, the government engineer
to choose sites for government reser-

selected the great natural basin living
near Laramie, Wyo., as the Wyoming
site. This great basin lies in the heart

miles long by two miles wide. Its
maximum depth is $50 feet, and
the government engineers estimate
that it will hold 20, 900, 600. 900 cubic feet
of water. The Big and Little Laramie
rivers will be tapped and it will take
between five and six years to fill the
basin. Enough water can be stored to
keep the entire eastern part of Wyo-

with water during dry seasons. The
water will be collected in winter and
