which Bishop of Havana is chairman.
1t was arranged also that supplies

have been criticisms Of the system
adopted and reports have come from
Havana that the recOnc.ntrados
were starving as q result Of obstacles
in the way of transmitting relief.
The spanish authorities state. how
ever, that there has been no delay OF
their part and since the arrange

medicine, etc. has been made. There
has been general desire, however.

America Can Help Cuba.


The following appeal to the Amer
lean people has been issued by the
department of state.
"By the direction of the President
the public is informed that in defer
ence to the ernest desire of the gov
ernment to contribute by effective
action toward tho relief of the snff-
ering people IL the Island of Cuua,
arrangements have been perfected
by which charitable contribution in
money or in kind, can be sent to the
island by benevolently disposed peo-
pie of the United States. Money
provisions clothing, medicines and
like articles of prime necessity can be
forwarded to Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. con-
sui general of the United Safes at
Havana, and all articles, now dntible
by law, so consigned, will be admit
ed into Cuba free of duty. The Pres
ident is confident that the people OF
the United States will head the ap-
peal for aid that comes from the des-
titute at their threshold and, espe-
cially at this season of good will and
rejoicing, give of their abundance to
this humane end"

ON The ERINK OF WAR.
Hostility of Russia Openly Manifested
Toward Great Britain.
EaeIand's Attemp: to Seize Chinese Ter

London, December 22.-IHat
Europe stands on the brink of what
is known in diplomatic phrascoln%r
is to say, of warts apparent, not
only from the conditions ofliic money
markets in the various capitals of the
Old World, both Yesterday and to-
day, but also from the t he of bitter
animosity and undisgui>cd no ';iiity
with which the ministerial press Of
Russia discusses the pretelsiOIs of
Great Britain to secure territorial
compensation III China for the Rus
sian occupation of Port Arthur.
The st. Petersburg Novosti. indeed,
openly in,imatcs that Russia would
resist by force Englard's Il tempt to
obtain possiOn of either Port Iiamil-
ton or of Lazaraff, and declares that
any steps of England in that direct
ion will constitute Il peril to the peace
of Europe, which is likewise menaccd
by the possibility o: "disturbing ng
action" on the part OF Japan. The
Russian press to-day manifcsts Il
more friendly tone than hitherto to-
ward Germany, and it is just possible
that Russia many ultimately acquiesce
in Germany's possession of Kiac-Chau
Bay, although the latter is practically
within the Russian sphere of China,
having been definitely coded by the
Pekin government to the Car by thc
terms of the secret treaty negotiated
by Count Cassini. the Muscovite Gu
voy in the Celestial Empire.
Indeed, the Novosii. which a week
ago was, along with other nin!ste erial
newspapers at ST. Petersburg. de

fashion for its seizure of Kiao-(hau
Bay rs violation, not only of Chin
csc territory. but of Russian treaty
rights. and which has forced China to
dismiss all the German officers and
civilian officials in its employ, to-day
discusses the possibility of an ALLAN &C

The press is evidently deeply inter-

Every attempt is being made to Great e

represent her as isolated.

that Japan has acquiesced in the
German and Russian moves and will
take the aggressive action. Every
thing indicates the anxiety that
hinges upon the ultimate grouping
