THOUSANDS STARVING.
Pitiabie Condition of the Cubans In the
Towns on the Island.


Towns ON the Island.
NEW YORK, Nov. ga special tC
the World from Havana says:
In ev9ry town in Cuba where there
are American citizens, groups of starv
ing islanders gather every day In
front of the houses of those Americans
and beg for the crumbs. That Ameri-
cans have anything on their tables
from which crumbs could fall is due
to the relief fund of $4,000 voted last
spring by congress.
Consul General Lee has drawn sc
far about S25, 600 of the total amount
There are 1,400 Americans on the re-
lief list OF these about 250 are Amer
lean born. The others are naturalized
citizens, and their families, who hay-
ing had their citizenship papers prop
erly registered at the different United
States consulates, are entitled, II IL
distress, to the same relief as Ameri-
can born citizens.
According to statement made by
Consul Baker, who is stationed at Sa-
qua, about 10000 people are being Kept
alive in Cuba by these rations, dis
tributei for the support of 1,4OO.
Neighbors gather around the front
door of the houses of American cit
iZens and beg a share of the food that
comes from the consulates. Where
suffering is general, these appeals are
not in vain and the scant supply OF
rice, jerked beef and bread is made to
do service for five instead of one.
There are no markets in any but
the bigger cities, because nothing is
produced to supply them, and no one
has money. Misery is universal, and
suffering is everywhere, and the
death rate goes up higher and higher
each day In the town of Sagua, where
there is a population of about 10000,
the death list for five years before
of August of this year GAS persons
died of starvation alone.
Consul Brice, stationed at Matan-
Zas, reports that since July /, $1,000
persons have died in his district. Cen
eraI Rlanco's orders to allow the pa
cifico's to cultivate land outside the
military lines would diminish suffer-
ing, if the people had the strength
and the implements with which to
work, but they have neither. and Wey-
ler's scheme to exterminate the people
is rapidly proving successful.
It is generally believed iii Havana
that BlancO has received orders from
Madrid to do everything possible to
prevent starvation reports from go
ing to the United States, and Minister
Dupuy de LONE has urged him to is
sue proclamatiOns and orders that will
convey the idea that the new regime
will take care of the nOn-cOmbatarts,
and stop the present appalling death
rate.

Cannot Come to Agreement.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-There is
no immediate prospect of the conclu-
sion of reciprocity negotiations be-
tween the United States and France.
Both governments have presented
elaborate statistics to show their re-
spective positions in any reciprocity
arrangement, but the matter has not
progressed to the point where an
agreement can be fOreseen.
Having presented the French side of
the case from every standpoint. NJ. Pa
tenotre, the French ambassador, has
now referred the question back to his
government and is awaiting instruc-
tions. He had hoped to conclude the
negotiations before departing to his
new post at Madrid, but this seems
hardly likely, owing to the many de-
lays which are occurring.
He had expected to leave the lat
ter part of this month. but may defer
his trip until the latter part of De-
ce,nber. Nine. Patenotre will not go
until spring, owing to the severity
of an ocean trip in midWinter.
The new French ambassador, NJ
Cambon, will leave Paris December 10,
arriving here about the first of the
new year. Nine. Cambon will not come
to this country during the first year
Of the ambassadors service.
AS the reciprocity question is now
before the authorities at Paris it is
likely that Mr.. Cambo1 will receive
personal instructions and come here
fully conversant with the question.
In the course of the negotiations an
intimatiOn has been made by the
United States officials that a relaxation
of the French restrictions on Ameri-
can meat products would be helpful
in forwarding the reciprocity agree
ment.
