CONDITIONS ARE DISTRESSING
The Cuban Army aud Rural Population
suffer az Much ms Ever for Food
Robert POrter's View.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE members of
the Cuban junta here are much con-
Cerned about the stories Of suffering
from lcck of food received by them
from the Cuban army. Letters have
come which state that the condition
of the army and of the rural popula-
ton in Cuba is now worse than ever
during the continuance of the war.
The junta officials here maintain that
the course adopted by the Spanish is
resulting as effectually in causing
death to the Cuban insurgents and
pacificos as did the policy of reconcen.
tration and determination adopted by
Weyler. Following is an extract from
letter received by Horatio s. Rubens,
counsel to the junta here:
Nobody can form an adequate idea OF the
horrors OF our position Famine caused more
deaths than have the bullets of the enemy II,
within a month, we do not receive much more
food, one-thlrd of the Cuban army and of the
rural population will cease to exist, and even o
month may be too late.
Counsel Rubens said this extract was
but one of score or more similar ones
received by him. The Spanish hold
the coast towns and the Cubans con-
troll the interior. The Spanish main.
tain that the statu quo provided by
the protocol is that they in the towns
take care of themselves, and the Gu
bans in the country, including the
rural population, supposedly in camp
with the insurgents, take care of
themselves, all warfare ceasing.
This" continued Counsel Rubens, "is
carrying out the policy of reconcentra-
ton and necessarily of determination,
as the Spanish will not allow the inn
portation of food through the coast
towns"
Among the passengers from Havana
yesterday was Robert P. Porter. Mr..
Porter said:
I was sent to Cuba to collect information on
financial and economic subjects in order that
the president would have access to such mate
rial in time to consider their bearing before
his message to congress At the
present time am in favor OF admitting cattle
into Cuba free. The present condition of the
country people is very distressing The rainy
season is almost over and It is imperative that
the crops OF the present year be planted at once
or else they will be put off for some time. To
work the field tho people need CATTLE which
are very scarce shall recommend that cat
tie for food be admitted into the island free
Take Matanzss, for instance where they had
260 900 head, according to the census of 1893
Now there are fewer than 5000 head in that
province. I found in Santiago that things
were much more satisfactory than in Havana,
for the reason that the United States Is in con-
troll there

To Occunx Cuhan Cities.

Washington, Oct 1.-THE reports
from Havana sent by the American

ficiency for the fiscal year ended June

some years. The reduced deficit is at
tributed to increased revenue caused
