that the chaplain said that while the

Seeking a Home, She is Found Nearly
Starved at Emporia-

which shows Iife's sad side, came to the
police station yesterday. About 4:30

her to Emporia where she was to be
met and to be given a home by man
by the name of Mcpherson. She said
her name was Bessie Orris and that she
was IS years of age. Her mother had
died about two years ago and her father
had seven children to keep. He thought
he had secured her a home. She ar
rived here at 2 o'clock Monday morning
but was not met by anyone.
She waited in the depot room until
about II o'clock yesterday and then be-
coming faint from want of food and the
warm air of the waiting room, came
out on the street and up town. Too
bashfuI to ask for food from the town
and afraid to stop anyone on the street,
she wandered around Commercial street
looking at shop windows until discover
ed by Miss Plumb. She had become
sick from want Of food. Policeman Al
Randolph took her to a restaurant and
gave her a dinner and then found her
a home with Mr.. and Mrs James
Thompson on West Ninth avenue. The
little girl through all her trouble be-
Heved in her father and says he is not
to blame. She is willing to work and
will stay with Mrs. Thompson.

THEY ARE ALL DEAD.
DR.. CongOstO Says There Are
No Reconcentrados Now.

New York, Sept. 2s.-Dr. Congosto who
arrived from Havana on the City of
Washington, today said in an inter
view:
THE evacuation OF Cuba by Spain is
a matter OF time, but when left Ha-
vana everything was progressing well.
I do not care to enter into all the rea-
sons for the delay but one of the prin-
cipal causes is the fact that we have
over 5000 sick who must be taken care
Of and cannot be left behind.
1.-THE problem of the future of the is
land is a difficult one and I have stud
led it without prejudice, and as result
IS a social problem and not a political
one. OF course, politics will enter into
the solution, but the great question is
how to bring the most prosperity and
the greatest happiness to the people of
Cuba. 1t is prObab bic that there will be
a large emigration to the island and
this emigration may assist in solving
the problem OF course, a difficulty will
be met in view Of the dangers of fever
and the climate"
Dr. COngOStO was asked as to the con-
dition of the recOncentrados.
There are no reconcentrados now -
he answered with a smile.
what has become OF them?'' was the
next question.
They are gone"

THAT probably explains it better
that I can It is a subject which I pre-
fer not to discuss
