A BELLIGERENT WESTERNER.


Declares That All Genuine Americans
Arc Anxious to Fight England.
London, Dec. 2S.-The Daily Chronicle
this morning prints letter, column
and half long, signed by Adjutant
General John F.. Ballaine. of the state
of Washington, denouncing William
Il. Stead's book, "Satan's Invisible
World" and Mr.. Stead himself, as dis
playing the densest ignorance of every
thing American"
The writer proceeds to combat the
argument that New York is a typical
American city in any sense, and he
declares that the real American of the
west hates New York as much as 1t
hates London" In concluding he says:
every genuine American nourishes an
undying hatred of England, and will
be glad when the time comes to fight
her."
Commenting editorally upon what it
calls remarkable letter The Daily
Chronicle says:
1.-The writer is ludcrously misinform-
ed on many points, but he Is undoubt =
edly a fair. and indeed a superior rep
resentative Of vast amount of western
feeling with which we Britishers have
to count"

Mission Work.

Mrs. Archie of this city il lapor1ng to
render self.supporing mission OF the 4.
NJ. e. Church, about mile east Of Chadd's
Ford She has interested number of
colorel people residing in the vicinity, and
there i. a prospect thaG her efforts 10 dn
good will be crowned with u fair degree
Of success. She is an earnest laborer in
thework of reclaiming the erriDg and she
should have encouragement aud finan-
cial old from the wealthy farmers who re.
side in that fertile section of the country.
THIS aid Is rendered more imperative by
the fact that colored Baptist mission has
been organized at the Ford, thus dividing
itife colored population and lessening the
. Contributions from Chat class of ciiizens.
We recommend Mrs Archies' mission to
the attention of all citizens interested in
the evangelization of her race and trust
that her little EMISSION house. may be
placed on foundation as lasting as the

murder of Conductor Galloway, Of the
Schuylkill Valley Traction company

When Galloway's clothes were search

was still in his pocket. Galloway leaves

Pittsburg, Dec. 2S.-During fire last
evening at New Haven, a suburb Of
this city, in the residence of Mrs. Mary
Ann Browdy, Miss Nancy BroWdy, aged
4G, was burned to death and the mother.
76 was SO badly burned that she can
not survive. Miss Browdy lost her life
In trying to save some personal prop
erty from the building. She went TO
the upper floor after the flames had
made a good hcadway on the structure
and was probably, ,suffocated. When the
house had been gutted the body of
Miss Browdy was seen hanging over
a joist, and in the presence Of about
500 people, who had gathered at the
scene, was literally burned to a crisp.
The mother threw herself into the
burning building twice in the endeavor
to save her daughter, but each time
was dragged back by friends, not, how
= ever until she was so badly burned
that the ephysicians say she cannot live.

STARVATION in CUBA, i A.
Need For Assistance For the Suf-
s.. fering Reoonoentradoes. :
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS SENT.
1t Was Received Yesterday by the
State Department. and Was Hurried
to Consul General Lee by Telegraph.
Uncle Sam Will Forward Supplies.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The most pro-
found distress prevails among many
thousands of people In Cuba. Starva-
ton not only impends, but 1t is an
actual fact. The president has been
informed Of the facts from sources
whose credibility cannot be doubted.
He has gone to the length of his con-
stitutional power In calling the state
OF affairs to the attention Of the Ameri-
can people. The state department has
used all Of it's authority to mitigate the
conditions there. and q letter to the
public sent out by Secretary Sherman
the day before Christmas pointed out
the way to further alleviate the mis-
cradle condition of the recontradoes.
Yesterday the sum of $1,000 was re-
ceived by Assistant Secretary Day from
certain charitably disposed persons,
whose names are not disclosed, and this
sum was remitted by telegraph this
morning to Consul General Lee for dis
tribution among the more pressing
cases.
1t is hoped by the department Of state
that the American people will come to
the relief. and that promptly, by sub
scriptions of money, clothing and sup
plies of various kinds. The newspapers
are expected to lend generous aid in
carrying forward the movement. The
machinery for distribution has been
provided by the state department, and
Consul General Lee has undertaken,
with the aid of the American consular
office in Cuba, to give personal atten-
tion to the alleviaton of distress by the
distribution of the gifts of the Ameri-
can people.
One line of steamers plying between
New York and Havana-the Ward line
it is said, has undertaken to forward
any contributions of goods to General
Lee, and it is believed that the Ameri-
can railroads will do their part by
carrying the goods to the seaboard.
The Spanish authorities have consented
to remit all duties on relief supplies
so forwarded. The state department
directs that they be sent direct to
Consul General Lee, either money by
draft or check, or goods.
Consul Gei1sral Lee last night cabed
the state department just what Is
wanting at this Juncture, and his list
is as follows: Summer clothing, sec
ond hand or otherwise, principally for
women and children: medicines for
fevers, including large proportion of
Quinine; hard bread, cornmeal bacon,
rice, lard. potatoes, beans peas, salt
fish. principally Goldfish. any canned
goods. especially condensed milk for the
starving children. Money will also be
useful to secure nurses. medicines and
for many other necessary purposes.
