ARMY is IN GREAT DISTRESS
A Letter to the Cuban Junta In New York
Depicts tho Horrors of the Situation and
States that Relief Must Soon bo Given or
Thousands Will DIE.

New York. Oct THE members
of the Cuban junta here are much
concerned about the stories of suffer
ing from lack of food received by
them from the cuban army. Letters
have come which state that the con-
dition of the army and of the rural
population in CUBA is now worse than
during the war. The iunta officials
maintain that the course adopted by
the Spanish is resulting as effectu-
ally in causing death to the Cuban
insurgents and pacificos as did the
policy of RECOMMENDATION and exter-
mination adopted by Weyler.
Following is an extract from let
ter received by Horatio S. Rubens,
counsel for the junta here:
Nobody can form an adequate idea
Of the horrors of our position. Fam
inc causes more deaths in our ranks
than have heretofore the bullets of
the enemy. If within a month we
do not receive much food, more than
one-third of the Cuban army and of
the rural population will cease to ex-
list, an! even month may be too
late"
Counsel Rubens sad this extract
was but one of n score or more SINH
lar ones received by him. The Span
ish hold the coast towns and the
Cubans control the interior. The
Spanish maintain that the status quo
provided by the protocol is that they
in the towns shall take care of them
selves and the Cubans in the country.
including the rural population sup
pOsedly in sympathy with the inSur-
gents, take care of themselves. all
warfare ceasing. This, continued
Rubens. is carrying out the policy Of
recommendation and necessarily of ex-
termination, as the Spanish will not
allow the importation of food through
the coast towns.
To lay before the president the ad-
vices of this nature received here
and to urge if possible the speedy
insistence by the American peace
commissioners at Havana of the dis
continuance of the excessive Spanish
duties on food importatioSs is said
to be the chief reason for the visit
of the delegate, Thomas Estrada
Palma, to Washington just now.

rAYLo8E THRowN FROM HIS WHEEL
stnrbuok Wins the Twenty-SIIIe Paced Race
at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. is. The twenty-mile
paced bicycle race between Frank Starbuck Of
this city and Edouard Taylore of France proved
n disappointment to 5000 spectators at
SRenEer Hall tonight. The Frenchman was
fully a lap in tho lead in the fifth mile.
when, In swinging around the upper turn. his
wheel slipped and he collided with the tandem.
Tho latter drew safely away from the scrim-
mage. but the Frenchman struck the hard track
with great force, and while not seriously injured
was unable to resume riding.
Starbuck failed to hold his pacemakers, while
Taylore rode steady and kept calling for faster
pace. The local man won tho toss and got the
pole, but at the pistol the Frenchman's tandem
team cleverly deprived Starbuck of that advan.
taRe.
For the first few laps the men were pretty
close together, but in the second mile Taylore
began to draw away. At the fifth mile he was
fully q lap in the lead. His superiority at this
time was evident.
Starbuck finished the last fifteen miles alone.
He went the twenty miles In Il :03. Taylor's
time for the four miles was S:22.
In the preliminary events G. W. Babcock won
the half-mile handicap. amateur, from scratch,
In ! minute 5 40 seconds, and Lamberjhck and

AaIss Roos or Workers Held Up By Two IGen at
Midnight.
YoNKERs, N. Y, Jan. 15.-Miss Melia Roos of
1877 voss avenue, this city, was held up and
robbed at midnight last night within 100 yards
Of her home. Miss Roos was returning homo
alone from a Grand Army reception apd ~instalia-
sion, and was going along yoss avenue. which
10 sparsely populated, when two men. one much
taller than the other, sprang from behind q
large rock and confronted her. The larger man.
who. Miss Ross says. was a negro. seized her by
tho throat and demanded her money. The
young woman was terribly frightened. and was
unable to speak.
The smaller man. who spoke with an italian
accent. began TO rife the young woman's
pockets. The negro seized her watch. and Miss
Roos. fearing the man would kill her. gave her
pocketbook. which she held In her hand. to the
men. They then released her and ran away.
The young woman made her way home as best
she could and collapsed upon entering the door.
She went into commissions. and 1t was not until
after several hours that she was revived suf-
ficiently to tell OF her adventure. Tho police
were informed immediately, and they searched
the surrounding country but unayailingly.
Miss Roos believes she could identify the larger
man. b" '..t.
