TO SUCCOR THE CUBANS
The National Relief Association
Forwards Money:
Ii May Resume Its work.-Owing to
the Few Responses to the Govern
ment Appeal.

The National Relief Association for
Cuba. through its secretary. Mrs. Emily
c. Knyeft. yesterday forwarded the sum
of s15e to Mr.. W +. Barker, the United
States consul az Sagua Ia Grande. Cuba,
for distributions at that place. Hereto
fore the practice of the association has
been to forward all money and supplies
to Consul General Lee at Havana. but
recently Mrs. Eilvert learned from Mr..
Russell one of the assistants of Attorney
General Ciriggs of the terrible distress
which prevails at Sagua la Grande. and it
was decided that the money be sent direos
to that place. Sagua la Grande is one
hundred and eighty miles east of Havana
Mr.. Russell. who recently went TO
Cuba on a Government mission. became
so strongly impressed with the dire need
OF the suffering Cubans at SaSua Ia
Grande that upon his return to this city
he set about collecting subscriptions. As
a result he secured Il neat sum, which
was expended to excellent advantage by
Consul Barker.
In speaking of the work of the National
Relief Association last evening Mrs. Kill
vert said that since President MckinleyS
proclamation asking the direct aid of the
American people for Cuba the association
had relaxed its efforts to a considerable
extent upon the superstition that the re-
Spouse of the American people would
be So generous that very large sum
would be realized at once.
1--WE thought the money subscription
would have amounted to over 100000 by
this time. said Mrs. Kilyert. but, in
stead of that. / believe the total sum
subscribed amounts to only about So
OJO In view of this fact. 1t is quite likely
that the relief association will resume
its active work in behalf of Cuba. The
suffering patriots there need assistance
now even more urgently than ever be-
fore. Eyery month, every week. adds to
their need and there should he no abate-
n?ent i'm the measures adopted in this
country for their relief
