Appalling Figur res Presented by Gen. Lee Of
the Conditions In Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.--United States
Consul General Lee reports to the state
department that according to his ad.
vices no less than 100000 people on the
island are in the last stages Of destitu-
tion and are wholly dependent upon
charity. To feed these people on
ten-cent ration per day would cost
100000 daily, which sum is double the
amount so far received in contribu-
tions by the state department In the
opinion Of Gen. Lee 20 per cent Of
these poor people are surely doomed to
death from starvation and disease. In
such state Of affairs the existence Of
any form Of organized government is
threatened and the autonomy plans Of
Spain command little attention.

time. Sometimes it would 60 two OF
three days without eating anything,
and it fell of to almost skin and bone
and died.
Mr.. Chapman also owned large
pointer dog, which from the first had
showed q most intense love for the
baby.
When the child was taken sick the
dog would lie by the cradle and watch
day and night. When the baby re-
fused to eat the dog would not eat.
When the child grew restless the dog
would put his forefect on the cradle
and groan and apparently mourn over
the child's sickness just as one of the
family would. AS the child could not
eat neither would the dog The dog
fell away to skin and bone and died
about the same time the child did.
Both child and dog lived FIVE weeks
after they were taken sick.-Green-
