Sample Contribution.

The following letter. addressed to Major
Butts, explains itself:
my Dear Comrade-Inclosed please find
my check for So as a donation from En-
canpment No. of Philadelphia toward the
memorial of the dead of the Maine. En-
campment No. feels that it owes a duty
to the old comrades and their families who
may be in need first Of all, yet it also feels
that for your laudable undertaking it
should do something. Therefore, we send
you SIS, regretting that our circumstances
are such at present that We could do no
better"
This letter was signed by L. NJ Kieffer
adjutant of Iincampment No. 2, PhiladeI-
phia.
The District fire department today
through Chief Paris, contributed S7450 to
the fund. The subscription list in the de-
partment had been open but short time.
The brave, true, patriotic fire laddies who
are constantly risking their lives to save
others, know how to appreciate any step
taken to honor the memory of heroes.
Major Butts expressed the gratitude Of the
committee to the fremen, through their
Chief. The men in the department had
done nobly, he said, and their large sub
scription was a most agreeable surprise.

FEEDING THE CUBANs.
Plans Being Executed by the Arm
Commissary Department


The plan Of feeding the starving Cubans
is proceeding systematically, despite the at
tention which the authorities are obliged
to give to the war. These plans are being
carried out by the commissary department
of the army. Large consignments of food
are being sent from Port Victor, New York
viz: 1900 pounds of cornmeal, 5S2 900
pounds of flour, 10000 pounds of bacon,
10000 pounds of coffee, 10000 pounds OF
sugar, 10000 pounds OF soap, 60,eoo pounds
of salt and 5000 pounds of pepper. These
will be made up into rations and distrib-
uted over wide territory to the Cubans.
This is but one of several consignments, as
the work of relief has been going on for
the past two months, hundreds Of thou
sands of government rations being distrib-
uted. The supplies will now include refrig-
Grated and cold-storage beef for Cuban
troops and the reconcentrados. The first
consignment of this kind will leave Tampa
on next Saturday, and will be sufficient to
lest until the next consignment of refrig-
Grated beef goes forward.
