DISTRESS PARTLY RELIEVED.
James fuckers Family Supplied
With Food, Fuel and Clothing.

The family OF James Tucker, of No. 2071
Thirty second street, whose abJect poverty
and want were told in The Sunday Times,
have been somewhat relieved by the dona-
tions OF several charitable persons, who
read of their suffcrings.
A load OF wood was sent to their house
by the superintendent Of the Oak Hill
Cemetery, and basket Of provisions md
clothing by d lady who does not care 10
have her name made public.
When The Times reporter called last
night he found the Tucker family in an ex-
tremely destitute condition. The house is
a low, loosely built wooden affair, through
the cracks of whichthe wind whistles The
fires were all out, as there was no coal, and
the bare boards of the floor were utterly
innocent OF the slightest apology for a
carpet.
The children, of whom there are six
girls and a boy, ranging in age from eigf-
teen years down To two months, Were hud-
died together, vainly endeavoring to keep
warm. The majority of them had neither
shoes nor stockings and barely enough
clothing to cover their bodies.
Mrs. Tucker was extremely nervous
through worry over her husbands condi-
ton, as she had not yet heard whether his
legs will have to be amputated or not, and
through her anxiety about her little ones
There was no food in tlie house whatever,
and no assistance of any kind beyond few
promises had been given.
Bat the good influence OF The Times ar
ticle of yesterday made itself felt, for be
fore the reporter left large basket con.
tanning shoes, stockings and warm dress
and food of all kinds was sent by a lady
in the neighborhood. These articles, to-
gether with the load of wood sent, will tide
them over until further help can be ren
dered.
Several other persons called and said
they would return this morning with food
and clothing. Up TO a late hour last night
the Associated Charities had done nothin.
to alleviate the famiiy's distress.
When The Times man left the little ones
were much happier on account of the aid
rendered by their charitable lady frient
who sent the basket, and each one was
greedily but happily munching big rec
apple.

HAVANA LEAF VERY SCARCE
Struggle for Cuban independence
Has Ruined Nest Plantations.
VARIOUS SUBSTITUTES TRIED
Cultivation OF Some SO Successful
That Smokers Can Hardly Tell the
Difference-Ha Havana Filters Dis
appearing Entirely From Five
Cent Cigars. s-,,t..t ~ si.,-ls.5 t.1

One of the phases of the Cuban struggle
for independence, directly and very closely
affecting q large proportion of the people
of the United States, namely, the smokers,
is the almost total lack OF Havana tobacco
in the markets of this country.
The scarcity OF Havana tobacco is at
tributable to two causes; first, the indis-
criminate destruction of growing crops
by both sides TO the fight now in progress
in Cuba second, Gen. Weyler various
edicts forbidding the tobacco planters TO
grow tobacco, and also placing an embargo
onexportatiou oftobacco already cured and
ready for shipment.
The destruction OF crops by both Span
iards and cubans, as reported by Con-
sui General Fitzhugh Lee, has been some
thing inconceiyable. According to Gen.
Lees statements, if the struggle should
cease today, il would take the island at
least fifteen years before its soil could re-
cover from the devastation, and before the
tobacco crop could again attain its aver
age size and quality In only one district,
the Remedies, is there any tobacco to
speak Of left, and even here the yield viii
not reach ne-tliird it's usual size.
