POLTTICS AND CHdRITY.
Senior Dupuy de LONE Deprccates A.
tempts 20 Mix the Two.


WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Dec. 2S.-Mr.
Dupuy DeLome. the Spanish Minister.
expresses strong disapproval OF reports
that the relief measures adopted by the
United states aid cO-operated In by
Spain. are "A step toward Intervention by
this Government In affairs Of Cuba. The
Minister characterizes such reports as
Efforts 10 mix politics with charity. and as
calculated 10 excite ill-feeling. which will
cmbarrass the charitable movement, and
impede its execution in Havana and
throughout the island.
Referring to the subject. he said to-day:
This talk Of Intervention in certain
quarters has no otler purpose than to
cmbitter both countries and to divert the
original purpose Of alms-giving. The ex-
tension Of aid to the suffering in Cuba
Is no more Intervention than was the
cotton Of AL the nations OF the world.
Including Spain. TO extend help to Chi
caco rfter the big fire. or that OF the
United states In sending ship-loads on
grain 30 Russia and last year to India.
and 10 the city Of London in sending
food and money 10 Paris when the siege
by the Germans was raised"
Turning TO a dispatch inst received from
Dr. Congosto. Surgeon-General at Ha-
vana. the Minister proceeded. quoting in
part from the dispatch.
ut is not true that the Spanish authori-
ties In Cuba are not equal to the situa-
ton. SuccOr is beiLg given abundant
". and relief commissions are ir regu-
lar operation In two Of the Prov nces
Puerto Principe and Santiago. there has
beer no concentration Forty plantations
are grinding sugar and there is ample
work for those who want 1t.
MANY Of the reccntradoes. who are re-
ported 20 be suffering. are i'm such condi-
ton through an unwillingness 10 WORK
The energy with which relief measures are
being conducted in Havana Is shown by
a glance at the Havana papers every day
showing long lists of charitable donations
Of articles specially serviceahle for the
relief of children. 1t should be borne IN
mind also that the Spanish Government
has RENTED all duties on ~elief supplies
sent 10 Cuba so that for every dollar OF
supplies entering cuba. Spain adds q con-
siderable percentage the RENTED duties
running from 40 per cent. down
