THOUSANDS Starving
TN CUBA.

WASHINGTON Dec 27.-The most
profound distress prevails among many
thousands Of the people in Cuba. Star
walton not only impends, but Is an &C
tual fact. The president has been in
formed of the facts from sources whose
credibility cannot be doubted. He has
gone to the length of his constitutional
power in calling the state Of affairs to
the attention Of the American people.
The state department has used all of its
authority to mitigate the conditions
there and the letter to the public
day before Christmas, pointed out the
way to further alleviate the miserable
condition of the reconcentrados. To-
day the sum of $1,000 was received by
Assistant Secretary Day from certain
charitably disposed persons, whose
names are not disclosed, and this sum
will be remitted by telegraph early
tomorrow morning to Consul General
Lee for disbursement among the more
pressing cases. It is hoped by the de-
partment of state that the American
people will come to the relief, and that
promptly by subscriptions 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 distrib-
ution has been provided by the state
department, and Consul General Lee,
with the aid of the American consular
officers of Cuba, will give personal at
tention to the alienation of distress by
the distribution of the gifts Of the
American people.
One line of steamers plying between
New York and Havana-the Ward
line-it is said has undertaken to for
ward any contributions of goods to
Gen. Lee at Havana, and 1t is believed
that the American railroads will do
their part by carrying the goods to
the seaboard The Spanish authori-
ties 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 General Lee tonight ca
bled 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 a large proportion Of quinine; hard
bread, cornmeal, bacon, rice, lard, po-
tatoes, beans, peas, salt fish, principal
ly Goldfish; and canned goods, especial
ly condensed milk, for the starving
children. Money will also be useful
to secure nurses, medicines and for
many other necessary purposes.
