 AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS.

Work ofthe Connecticut Sanitary Relief Associntion-ManyB Boxes Already Sent --Thirty-six Auxiliary Associations Already Formed.
 The Connecticut Sanitary and Relief association is greatly in need of funds to carry on Its relief work throughout the summer months. Two large boxes filled with pajamas, abdomen bands, surgical shirts and delicacies have just been sent to Cuba. The treasurer of the association has therefore been heavily drawn upon. Then, too, dona- tions of material as we'll as subscrip- tions of money have not been coming in rapidly of late, There is great de- mand for work to do coming from wo- men who can afford tc give only their services. Therefore in order to supply these charitable people funds must be forthcoming.
 '"The business men of New Haven are urged to aid the association with mon ey to supply the many ready hands and willing hearts that can help our men at the front in no other way, thus taking upon themselves some share of the splendid work being done by the wo- men of New Haven," said a prominent of aStpT6aV q tha Colonial Historical society rooms, where she was at work cutting out gar ments to be shipped to the front. T don't know" said this woman, 'wheth- CT the association will make an appeal or not, but more money, in order to carry on this work throughout the sum- mer must be forthcoming at once, es- pecially now that orders are coming to us from the front for more garments and delicacies.'
 More than a thousand dollars has al- ready been expended in the work of re- lief during the few short weeks of the society's existence. Every officer in the organization has worked faithfully and hard, conducting not only the executive business of the association, but the manual part of it as well. Thirty six auxiliary societies have been formed in Connecticut within the past few weeks, each of which is doing large share of work.
 Mrs. Russell Hotchkiss, treasurer of the association, will receive contribu- tions at her home in the Kensington promptly acknowledging anything sent
 In an editorial of one of the leading New York papers, headed Save the Wounded" is an urgent call for an i'm mediate supply of comforts and deli cacies to be sent to the government hos pital at Key West, to which place the sick and wounded will be removed from Cuba. The article in question is as fol- lows:
 '"The heavy losses reported from the last two days fighting at Santiago must turn the thought of this country more sharply than at any other time hitherto in this war to the provision made fol the comfort and care of the wounded Thousands of humane and patriotic cit izens stand ready to do anything called for if they only know what it is to ale viate the sufferings Of the soldiers anC secure their recovery.
 Nobody expects that the government can furnish the delicacies of a private hospital. That would be an impossible undertaking. Yet there may be many cases where little comforts and delicate foods and drinks, which never could be supplied under official regulations might make all the difference between life and death"
