PRESIDENT APPEALS FOR AID
Money, Provisions, Clothing, Medi-
zines and Other Articles Needed
for Suffering Cubans.
GEN. LEI WILL RECEIVE CONTRIBUTIONS
Arrangements Perfected by Which Aid
Has Suspended Duty on Such
Consignments.
GEN. LEE WILL RECEIVE CONTRIBUTIONS

Washington, Dec. 24.-The following
appeal to the American people has been
issued:
Estate Department, Washington, d. O.,
December "a, 1897.-By direction of the
president the public is informed that, in
Difference to the earnest desire of the
government to contribute by effective
action toward the relief of the suffering
people in Cuba, arrangements have been
perfected by which charitable contribu-
tions, In money or in kind, can be sent
to the island by the ebenevolently disposed
people of the United States.
"Money, provisions, clothing, medi-
cines and like articles of prime necessity
can be forwarded to General Fltzhugh
Lee, consul general for the United States
at Havana, and all articles, now dutiable
by law, so consigned will be admitted into
Oubn free of duty.
"The general has been instructed to re-
ceive the same and cooperate with local
authorities and charitable boards for the
distribution of such relief among the
destitute and needy people of Cuba.
"The president is confident that the peo-
pie Of the United States, who have on many
occasions in the past responded most
generously to the cry for bread from peo-
pie stricken by famine or dire calamity,
and who have beheld no less generous
action on the part of foreign communi-
ties when their own oountrymsn have
suffered from disastrous floods, will heed
this appeal for aid, that comes from those
at their own threshold and especially at
this season of good will and rejoicing,
will give of their abundance to this hu-
name end.

ing that q bill should be passed provid-

bonds at low rate of interest, but there
seems to be no indication that the far
famed, so-called "militia warrants" are to
be included in this refunding scheme. No
New Mexico people are pushing the
scheme, but the bond holders are, and 1t
ia believed that they are willing to COM

some Colorado and New Nexico papers
concerning this proposed measure has
been gotten up for purpose simply, and
for no good purpose. That sort of stuff
cuts no molasses here, although it may
cot great deal of that In New Mexico.

THIS WON'T Do AT ALL.
A Secret Session to Select Au-
ditOrium Plans.
The People Are to DO the Pay
ing for 1t
And They Want to Know All About
the Deliberations of the City
Council on the Auditori-
um-Drop These Star
Chamber Ideas.

For some unknown reason the city
council has decided to hold an executive
session tonight to consider the auditor
ium plans.
The question came up last night in
the form of resolution to approve the
plans accepted by the auditorium aso-
citation. The report was made by COun-
members of the association to repre-
sent the council.
Councilman Drew suggested that the
council for examination.
Councilman Burgess moved to hold a
special executive meeting to consider
the plans next Monday evening.
It was finally agreed to hold the
meeting tonight
But two plans have been presented.
One by J. F. Stanton and the other by
L. NJ. Wood. 1t was evident that Stan
TONS plans would be adopted and Mr..
Wood then withdrew and made a new
set. The association refused to accept
the second plans submitted and adopted
StantOn's plans. Then Wood said the
association had no authority anyhow
and he had his new plans at the cOun-
ell last night for submission.
The people will not approve of the
secret session plan of disposing of this
matter. The bulk of the money must
be raised by subscriptions among the
people and the city council should act
above board in whatever is done. Let
the people know what is done as long
as they are the ones who are going to
pay for the auditorium.
