bank. left this city for Topeka to attend
10 some business matters. He was heard
from DAY or later at Kansas City. Since
shat time his whereabouts have been I'M
known. He completely disappeared and
has been as efectually hidden as if the
earth had opened and swallowed him.
Ever since his disappearance detectives
have ben making a vigorous search for
him and so far as known they have not
discovered a trace OF the missing man.

IN SATISFACTORY CONDITION.
Report of Trustees of the Home for
ln<.urlhtPS

From the annual report of the board of
trustees of the Washington Home Tor In
curables, submitted to the District Com
missioners by Mrs. Helen d. McLanahan,
acting president it appears that the insti-
tuition is in very satisfactory condition.
In addition to the sum of s., 600 appropri-
ated by Congress, the home has received
donations amounting to 81, 1875, and re-
cefpts from fairs, concerts, charitable Or
CARNATIONS and other business transactions
swelled the totaI income to SIG 1853 for
the year. The total expenditures for the
care of the hospital were ST. 49,. 60 leaving
balance on hand of s., 4o5.SS. The total
assets of the institution are placed at $16,-
Sl6-Oo, and the total liabilities at 81, 600
The report continues:
During the year the number of cases
treated was 30; the number of deaths, H.
Ii patients were admitted and 43 were in
the home on June 30. OF this number only
II are pay patients. The others. having no
means or friends able to assist them, are
supported, nursed, tended and must be
buried at the cost of the home. The en-
ployes have been efficient and faithful and
the patients are contented and grateful
After the most careful and painstaking
scrutiny of the probable expenses of the
home for the current and coming years by
the officers and managers, they ask that
Congress will appropriate the sum of 5000
toward its support, and it is feared that

charity, which is non-sectarian, and which
receives a most irregular and insufficient
support from paying patients, supplemented
by the uncertain donations and subscrip-
items of charitably disposed persons, may
be sadly crippled in it's benefactions.
For the maintenance of the institution
most strenuous eXertionS were required,
the expenses were nearly $4,000. Such ex-
ertions cannot be depended upon year after
year, owing to the changes ever sweeping
over human society and if the government
interests itself in other institutions and
charities, are not those persons who have
no prospect before them but a life of suf-
fering and often of utter dependence en-
titled to a generous share of the relief
which may be afforded by the public treas
ury?"

WHITE CROSS SOCIETY.
Auxiliary Organization 10 BE Formed
in Washington.

A meeting of the officers and organizers
of the White Cross Society of America was
held YESTERDAY afternoon at the residence
Of Mrs. R. +. Colston, 141S Pennsyl> ania
avenue northwest. The president of the
society, Mrs. Jane Creighton of Portland.
Ore, where the organization was incorpo-
rated two months ago, presided, with Mrs.
Laura Schwitchenberg as secretary Plans
were discussed for organizing an auxiliary
to the society in this city. number of
names We're added to the charter roll of
the society, and the organization of the
local auxiliary will probably be perfected
in a few days.
Mrs. NJ. l.. Pullman, who was engaged
in nursing in Havana, but who left that
city when Consul General Lee came away,
gave an account of her experiences in the
capital city of Cuba.
The national headquarters of the society
are now in Portland, but will probably be
transferred to Washington in the fall. At
er concluding the work before her, Mrs.
Creighton will return to Oregon, but Will
revisit Washington in the fail, for the pur-
pose of getting a bill through Congress
making the order a national affair, under
government auspices, as the Red cross So
ciety is now BY that time IL is expected
that auXiiarieS will have been formed in
every state of the Union.
The organization is similar to the Red
Cross Society in every way, except that II
is a purely American institution and does
not contemplate becoming an international
body.
Mrs Creighton has already proffered to
the War Department the services of twen-
ty-six trained nurses, to accompany the
next expedition to Manila. and her offer
has been accepted. The young ladies who
have volunteered for the society are now
at Portland, awaiting their certificates from
the department, and VIII leave for the
Philippines as soon as the government
sends a vessel. The society has decided to
send no nurses to Cuba or Porto Rico. as
those places are well cared for by the Red
Cross and the Daughters of the American
Revolution.
The utmost harmony prevails between
these orders, and the White Cross Society
seeks rather to aid the Red Cross and kim
dred organizations, rather than to work in
opposition to them. The newer society,
however, being distinctly an American in
sttution, will endeavor to go even further
in relief work than the others, and will not
only look out for the soldiers, sick and
wounded in war, but will keep an eye
the wives and little ones left behind.

marched up and the official surrender took
place. 1t was a grand sight. The red,
white and blue flag was hoisted, and the
District of Columbia band played The
Star Spangled Banner" Then Col. Har-
r.es called for three cheers, and they were
heartily responded to.
"On our way here We learned the hottest
battle was fought at a small town called
Ell Canal. Here the Spaniards made a
bold stand. but were soon driven out. The
Catholic church there was used as a fort
being desecrated by the Spanish troops.
Ever since our fleet threatened to lombard

the women and old men, went into FL

what L saw was worth travelling around
the world to see: As soon as the people
were informed of the surrender they i'm
nedfately started back to the city. There
is one continuous stream, and you could
hardly believe your own eyes. There is
not the slightest bit of sewerage in the
town. and no wonder it is the breeding
place for yellow fever
Results of Starvation.
Houses are full of people who were once
human beings, but now are skin and bones.
Children run naked and the older people
are not much better off. There is a Red
Cross Hospital in the town and the United
States forces are giving out food. The jam
is terrible. Old and young alike are push
ing and showing to get just one cupful of
flour. and you can hear the cries OF peo-
pie being crushed. People are constantly
dropping on the street from hunger, and
dozens of old and starving women drop by
the roadside. 1t is sad sight. One died
while l was looking on.
Il walked to Ell Canal with a respectable
looking Cuban, and he informed me that
he was going to take his wife and children
to Santiago. We met the mother and one
child on the way. He introduced me to
his wifi. and 1 shook hands with her and
she thanked me for some bareback which
l gave her. She had her child in her arms.
l took 1t and carried it for her. 1t was thin,
but these people were OF the better class.
The baby had yellow fever. but 1 do not
fear that. 1t is very common here.

ago and the hack stopped all of a sudden.
