STRONG DIsAPPaovAL OF SUCH REPORTS
American Help Will BE Received in
the Spirit In Which 1t Is Given
President Mckinley Asks the Peo-
pie to Prove Their sympathy by
Their Contributions.

Washington, Dec. 20. Mr.. Dupuy de
LONE, the Spanish minister, expresses
strong disapproval of reports that the
relief measures adopted by the United
States and cooperated in by Spain are
q step toward Intervention by this gov
eminent in the affairs of Cuba. The
minister characterizes such reports as
an effort to mix politics with charity
and as calculated to excite i'll feeling
which will embarrass the charitable
movement and impede its execution in
Havana and throughout the island. Re-
fcrring to the subject he said:
Will Embitter Doth Countries.
''This talk of Intervention In certain
bitter both countries and to divert the
original essential purpose Of aims giving
The extension OF aid to the sufferers In
Cuba is no more intervention than was the
action Of all the nations Of the world-in-
Guiding Snain-to extend help to Chicago
after the big fire. or that OF the United
States in sending a ship load Of grain to
Russia and last year TO India, and to the
city OF London In sending food and money
TO Paris when the siege by the Germans
was raised"
Will he Received in Right Spirit.
ut is perfectly we'll understood that tho
American help will be received with the
spirit that It is given. and the American
government-as Secretary Sherman ex-
pressed In his recent letter-offers the WELL
known generosity OF the American people
in the same spirit that they have accepted
foreign help In cases Of public calamity.
1t seems that some persons who make the
statement as to the condition In Cuba for.
get that the evils Of war cannot be miti-
gated IN short time. They fail to COM
70 th4 atS
that Of the past and they totally disregard
the efforts made 10 improve the situation,
After all 1t Is probably unnecessary to an
swer those who will go to such an extreme
as to mix Intervention and intrusion with
the acts OF mercy OF a nation well known
for Its generosity and charity"
Cabinet Discusses Relief Project,
Washington, Dec. 29-Tuesday's cab
iuet meeting was unusually brief. Sec.
retaries Gage and Bliss being out of the
city and Secretary Alger i'll, only five
members attended. The appeal to the
American people for aid for the suffer-
ers in Cuba was the principal topic of
discussion. The president and all the
members Of the cabinet are deeply in.
terested in the relief project, and have
taken every means at the command of
the administration to facilitate the ex.
tension of relief through the state de-
partment here and Consul General Lee
in Havana. 1t is expected that the first
responses to the appeal will come from
the large cities of the country, and the
belief is expressed that they will be
both prompt and generous. Several
departmental matters of minor impor.
lance also were brought tn The nrea Al.
dents attention.

The establishment of such a depart-
NEXT was 10 have been one OF the fea-
lures Of the presidents regular annual
message. but he forgot it, lie has now
promised 10 remedy the oversight and
the message is being prepared. The
new department, us outlined by its
friends, is not limited by any specific
confines. The head of the department

Is to draw 4 salary OF $4,000 a year.
There is to he an assistant secretary,
whose compensation is to be $4,000

The department is to have general
jurisdiction over the foreign and in
1ernal commerce of the United States
except in SO far us relates to the collcc-
ton of the revenue and the administra-
ton of the customs and interna, rev.
enue laws. ii is also TO have iur,stic-
ton over all the matters relating to tho
manufacturing interests of the United
States. including the extension of for
eign markets for such interests and the
increase Of trade and trade facilities
with foreign countries.
The new department will cut into
several Of the departments already es-
1ublisheh. From the treasury depart
ncnt are TO be taken the life-saving
service, the lighthouse board, the ma
rine hospital corps. the bureau OF
steamboat inspection. the bureau OF
navigation. the United States coast

The several consular officers OF the
United States. including consul-gen-
erals, consuls, commercial agents. their
deputies. clerks. and all other officers of
the government resident in foreign

department Of commerce and industry.
All these consular officers are to be UNI
der the instruction Of the secretary of
commerce aud industry, except where
they are forced to act on diplomatic
matters.
The department of labor, which now
stands as an independent bureau, is to
be part of the new creation. A strong
opposition to the esta blshment of such
department has already developed on
the ground Of its inutility.
