ACTUAL STARVATION.
Federal Government Aware of the
True Facts In Cuba.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The most pro-
found 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
it's 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 concentrates. Today the sum
of $4,000 was received by Assistant
Secretary Day from certain charitably
disposed persons whose names are not
disclosed and this sum will be remit
ted by telegraph early tomorrow morn
ing to Consul General Lee for disburse-
ment among the more pressing cases.
It is hoped by the department of state
that the American people will come to
the relief, and promptly by subscrip-
tions of money, clothing and supplies
of various kinds. The newspapers are
expected to lend a generous aid in car
rying forward this movement. The ma
chinery for distribution has been pro-
VlueQ ny the state department, ana
Consul General Lee has undertaken,
with the aid of the American consular
officers in Cuba, to give personal at
tention to the alienation of distress by
the distribution of the gifts of the
American people. One line OF steamers
plying between New York and Havana
the Ward Iine-it is said, has under
taken to forward any contributions of
goods to General Lee at Havana, and
it is believed that American railroads
will do their part in carrying the goods
to the seaboard. The Spanish authori-
ties have consented to remit all du
ties on relief supplies so forwarded. The
state department directs that they be
sent direct to Consul General Lee, either
money draft, or check or goods. Consul
General Lee tonight cabled the state
department just what is wanting at
this juncture, and his list is as follows:
Summer clothing, second hand or
otherwise, principally for women and
children; medicines for fevers, includ-
ing a large proportion of quinine; hard
bread corn meal, bacon, rice, lard

RICH IN GOLD AND SILVER.
What Was Found On the North Side
of the DYKE.

In speaking Of an important strike
IN the King mine, at Pearl in Willow
Creek district, Ida, the Boise States
man says:
Captain Bledsoe, who came in from
Willow Creek yesterday after having
completed some assessment work in
that district, reports that an important
strike has been made in the King
mine at Pearl
Some months ago fine ledge of ore
was opened in this property. The ore
carried both gold and silver. Some OF

carries practically ali its value in sill
yer. Specimens brought into the city
showed great leaves Of the pure metal.
II was the first silver strike of any
consequence made in that district and
great interest was felt in it.
Since the silver ore was opened the
owners have been prospecting the
property further and this has been
productive of still more important re-
suits. The silver lead is on the south
side of porphyry dyke. The work
that has been done since it was opened
has been with the view of prospecting
the north side Of the dyke.
4 drift has been run through the
dyke which is about 90 feet thick.
On the north side a gold vein has been
found that is as rich in gold as the
other is in silver. Parties who have
seen the property say much of the ore
is wired with gold. specimens making
a remarkable showing. The streak of
rich ore is some 80 inches in thickness
Captain Bledsoe says there have
been no other very rich strikes in the
district recently. but the work that has

winter has resulted in some very good
bodies of ore being developed. The
miners feel encouraged over the out

WILL WORK THE MALVERN.
Donohue Secures a Lease and Bond
On This Sunshine Property.

On This Sunshine Property.
Two weeks ago The Herald made
mention of the fact that deal was on
touching the future of the Malvern, in
the Sunshine vicinity, and yesterday the
official statement was made by the
company that it had just given lease
and bond on the property to P J.
DonOhue, the we'll known mining and
mill man.
According 10 the terms of the con-
tract MIR. Donohue has a working lease
of is months on the Malvern, and
bond on the stock of the company the
price stipulated being in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000 while the mine must
be worked continuously during the life
of the option and lease.
1t is learned that it is the intention
to begin work right away, and to push
developments as rapidly as possible:
and it is believed that before the end
of the time named in the lease the mine
viii be in shape so that Mr.. Donohue
Will be justified in the erection of a
mill on the same.
The Malvern adjoins the Sunshine on
the south and is but short distance
from the Overland, which is now under
the management of Gill S. Peyton. who
is pushing work in its development and
who expects TO he milling ores from the
property some time next summer.
Sufficient work has been done on the
Malvern to prove that the group is
fairly on the mineral zone and Mr.
DonOhue is satisfied that with intelli-
gent prospecting and development the
property Will eventually rank with the
big producers of Mercur.

Fifteen years ago John c. Brown, an
id Alta miner, decided TO try gold
mining in Dutch Guiana, South Africa,
and with a number of associates set
sail for the land of the Boer and the
Hotte=tot.
As is generally the case, the climate
did not agree well with the Americans
and one by one they either left the
country. or left their bones there, but
Brown. unterrified and determined, held
on. and today 1t is learned that he has
made his pile and that he is back again
in the states" enjoying life and also
a barrel OF money!
There are many old-time mining men
in Utah and the west who remember
Mr.. Brown very well and who will be
pleased to learn that his labors have
been well rewarded and that he is able
TO return to this country with as big
n pile of nuggets and gold dust as any
returning Klondiker can show.
Mr.. Brown is now in the southern
states, but he has not forgotten his
Utah friends, and yesterday Council
man Chris Diehl was showing his
friends a beautiful nugget of gold, as
large as the end of a mans thumb
which was sent him by Mr.. Brown,
and accompanying the nugget was the
statement that he had plenty of the
same sort and that in his New Gniana
mine he had fine vein of this class Of
ore, for while the piece of mineral was
nearly all pure stuff, there was a little
quartz associated with the gold
The nugget was a beauty, to say the
least, and the gold was so pure and yell
low and presented itself in such varied
forms that the beholder must need
yield to the fascination which always
accompanies the exhibition of the king
of metals.
In his letter Mr. Brown asked to be
remembered to all of his old Utah
friends and there is a possibility that
they may soon see him in person.

Washington, Dec. 27-The officials
here are somewhat surprised at the ex-
hibition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note of Minister Woodford, de-
livered to the Spanish foreign office
the day before Christmas. While the
note itself, will not be made public at
present it is said that there is no
reason whatever why it should be
withheld, save the fact that the pre-
ceding steps in the negotiations have
not yet seen the light in the news
papers and it is desirable when
publication is made to preserve the
complete chain of events in natural
will be shortly called for by congress,
in which case it is not likely TO be
withheld on grounds of public policy.
LAST NOTE.
The last note presented by Minister
Woodford was in answer to the Span
ish note called forth by Mr.. Woodford,s
very first note after his arrival at Mad
rid In his initial note, the United
States minister pointed out the interest
of his country in an early termination
of the present struggle in Cuba and
asked when such a conclusion could
be expected. The Spanish government,
in its reply, acknowledged our interest
in the matter, but suggested, after
stating what it intended to do to
ameliorate conditions in Cuba, that
the United States could best exercise
it's good offices by stopping filibuster-
ing. To this Mr. Woodford responded
with his note of last week. 1t is said
to be purely argumentative state
ment of the position taken by the
United STATES, and the facts set forth
are those so strongly drawn in the
presidents message to congress, OF
which it is supposed the Spanish public
had been fully advised through the
newspapers.
EXPENSE OF PATROL.
The most forcible statement in the
note is based upon the facts collected
and published recently by the United
States treasury department exhibiting
the great expense to which the United
States had been put by reason of it's
efforts to patrol an enormous coast
line in the pursuit of a few filibusters,
and the remarkable success of the gov
eminent officials in stopping these eX-
petitions, as contrasted with the feeble
efforts of the Spanish authorities to
maintain a patrol around the island of
Cuba. All of these facts were included
in Mr.. Woodford's note and while he
put them in his own language, in
presenting them to the Spanish for
eign officials it is said that the state
ments concern only events that have
already been touched upon.
CHIDES THE PRESS.
Madrid, Dec. 27.-According to an
official announcement the government
considers that the Spanish press at
taches too great Importance to the
