ACTUAL STARVATION.
Thousands of Cubans Are in the Diress
Distress.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The most
profound distress prevails among many
thousands Of people in Cuba. Starva
ton not only impends, but is an actual
fact. The president has been informed
OF the facts from sources whose RELIABLE
ity cannot be doubted. He has gone to
the length of his constitutional power
in calling the state of affairs to the at
tention of the American people. The
state department has used all OF its
authority to mitigate conditions, and
the letter to the public sent out by Sec
rotary Sherman the day before Christ
mas pointed out the way to further
alleviate the miserable condition of the
concentrates. Today the sum of
So, 600 was received by Assistant Secre-
tary Day from certain charitably dis
posed persons, whose names are not
disclosed, and this sum will be remit
ted by telegraph tomorrow morning to
Consul General Lee for disbursement
among the more pressing cases.
1t is hoped by the department of state
that the Americ. a people will come to
the relief, and promptly, by subscrp-
tions of money, clothing and supplies
OF various kinds. The newspapers
are expected to lend a generous aid in
carrying forward this movement. The
machinery for distributing has been
provided by the state department, and
Consul General Lee has undertaken,
with the aid of the American consular
agents in Cuba, to give personal atten-
tion to the alienation OF distress by the
distribution of the gifts of the Amer
lean people. One line of steamers ply.
ing between New York and Havana
the Ward line-it is said, has under
taken to forward any contributions of
goods to General Lee. at Havana, and
it is believed that the American rail-
roads will do their part by carrying the
goods to the seaboard.
The Spanish authorities have con-
scented to remit all duties on relief sup
plies so forwarded. The state depart
ment directs that they be sent direct to
Consul General Lee, either money
draft, or check, or goods. Consul
General Lee tonight cabed the state
department just what is wanting at this
juncture. and his list is as follows:
Summer clothing, secondhand or
otherwise, principally for women and
children; medicines for fevers, includ-
ing large proportion of Quinine; hard
bread, corn meal bacon, rice, lard,
potatoes, beans. peas, salt fish, prin.
cipally Goldfish; any canned goods, es-
pecially condensed milk for the starving
children. Money will also be useful
to secure nurses, medicines and for
many other necessities.

SENSATION AT THE CAPT A.
Spain's wrath over Woodfords NOTE
CncRlled for.

Washington, Dec. 80. - Ofhclals
here are somewhat surprised at the eA-
hibition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note of Minister Noodiofd de-
livered to the Spanish foreign once 'ne
dav before Christmas. While the note
itself will not be made public at pre-
sent. it is said that there is no reason
whatever why it should be withheld
save the fact that preceding steps III
the negotiations have not yet seen the
light of newspapers and 1t Is desifaoie
when publications. made to preserve Il
complete chain of events III their nat
ural order. Possibly the correspond
ence will be shortly called for by con-
gress, in which case it is not likely 10
be withheld ON the ground OF puohc
policy.
The last note presented by Minister
Woodiord was in answer to the Spanish
note. called forth by Woodford's very
first note upon his arrival at Madrld.
In his initial note the United Statel
minister pointed ont the interest OF ms
country in the early termination OF the
present struggle in Cuba and asked
when such conclusion could he expect
ed. The Spanish government IN Its
reply acknowledged our interest In the
matter, but suggested after stating what
it intended to do to ameliorate the con-
ditons in Cuba, that the United States
could best exercise its good offices by
stopping filbustering. To this Wood
ford responded with his note OF last
week. 1t is said to be a purely argu-
mentative statement OF the position
taken by the United States, and the
facts set forth are those so strongly
drawn in the presidents message to
congress, of which it was supposed the
Spanish public had been fully advised
through newspapers.
The most forcible statement in the
note is based upon facts collected and
published recently by the United
States treasury department, exhibiting
the great expense TO which the United
States had been put by reason OF its
efforts to patrol the enormous coast line
in pursuit OF few tilibusterng eXpeji-
tions and the remarkable success OF gov
eminent officials in stopping these ex-
petitions as contrasted with the feeble
efforts OF the Spanish authorities to
maintain patrol around the island of
Cuba. All these facts We're included
in Woodiord's note, and while he put
them in his own language in presenting
them to the Spanish foreign office, it
is said the statements concern only tn
events which have already been touche
upon.

PENSION OFFICE ORDER.
Its Design IL to Expedite Disposition
of Pending Claims.

Washington, Dec. 29.-A new or
der, the enforcement of which it is be-
lieved will expedite the disposition of
pension claims now pending has been
issued by Commissioner Evans. 1t is
as follows:
Hereafter claims for increase OF
pensions will not be considered within
IL months from the last action. allow.
ance or rejection.
THE necessity OF the new order, "
said an official today, grows largely
out of calls made on the Office for state
ment of the status OF pending cases
by means OF congress. These calls nave
been answered TO the exclusion of
other claims pending, which, it is said.
have been taken up in their order.
1t is only fair to these cases which have
not had any consideration that they
should be taken up as promptly as pos.
sible.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Terrible Fate of Woman and Her
Aged Mother.

Pittsburg, Dec. 29-During a fire at
New Haven, a suburb of this city, in
the residence of Mrs. Mary Ann
Browdy, this evening, Miss Nancy
Browdy, aged 46, was blurred to death,
and the mother, aged is, was SO bad y
burned that she cannot survive the
night. Miss Browdy, who came here
about a month ago from Butte. Mont.
to visit her mother, lost her life in try
ing to save some personal property.
She went to the upper floor after the
flames had made good Roadway on the
structure, and was suffocated. When
the house had been Quilted 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 an endeavor to save
her daughter, but each time was
dragged back, not, however, until she
was so badly burned that the physicians
say she cannot recover.

they are as good to him as steamer 5

hard who recently returned from
China, where he had an official posi-
ton, commenting upon the reported
occupation of kinchau by Russia. said
today:
"kinchau is an important walled
city mot an open porU, at the head OF
the gulf of Lau Tung, and it commands
tine mouth of the liver Yalu, where
the battle between the japanese and
Chinese was fought, and the other i'm.
portant rivers which flow into the gulf.
1t is about equally distant between the
mouth OF the Yalu river and the ter.
minus OF the great wall of China. 1t
commands the railway system recently
constructed from Tien-Tsen to the cap
ital of Manchuria, and is Of pre.eminent
importance as strategic post.
The seizure of the point shows that
Russia has practically taken possession
of Corea, Manchuria and the gull OF
Lau Tung. and possesses significance
which will cause CONSERVATION among
the diplomats in the Old World. Its
situation is such that its possession
practically places Russia in a position
TO defy the world"
