Dear Sir-On the request of General

fusion and waste of effort.
The committee is composed as fol-
lows: Hon. Cornelius n. Bliss, for
merly secretary of the interior; Briga-
der General Guy " Henry. formerly

Right Rev. James H. Blonk, D. D.,

ITS A QUESTION Of FOOD
Starvation Threatens the People
of Porto Rico.
THE SUPPLYIS DESTROYED
1t Will Cost Millions to Feed the Natives
Until Crops Can Be Grown-The
Cheapest Kind of Good
Food Needed,

Now York, Sept. lizzie Porto Rican
reIief committee of the Merchants as
ISOLATION has received an acknowledge
ment from Gen. George w. Davis. gov
ernOr general of Porto Rico. of the
goods shipped by the committee on the
transport Mcclellan, which left here on
the I'D OF August. General Davis, after
thanking the commit tee for the SUM-
plies sent, says:
The fruit and most of the food crops
OF the islands are totally destroyed.
Neither have they, the means of pur
chasing food, even were it here in
abundance.
Il believe that the great problem to
be solved is more. a question of food
than anything else, and to supply this
every effort should be made. The hu-
man animal can live here with very lit
tie clothing and shelter, but without
food there can be only one result
IF my conclusions as to the extent
of the destruction of food supplies be
correct, the stress C,f hunger will be
an increasing one from this time for
ward for many weeks and we must pre-
pare to feed not less than a quarter of
bring forth fresh supplies. What this
means is shown by a single mathemati-
cal demonstration summed up in the
question: At the rate of one pound of
food per day, per person, how many
pounds OF food will it take to feed 250.-
600 persons 'h9 days?
we might go further in our calcula-
ton by considering the cost of this
food and of distributing it, for even
though ell the military resources of the
island are being used in distributing.
nevertheless the expense of getting
food 60 the hungry will be approx
mataly about per cent of the cost of
the food. This cost cannot be much
less than a million and a half dollars,
even if the diet be as proposed-rice,
beans and Goldfish or bacon.
Can we get that sum? And II we
can, will your committee be able to
prevent it going into anything but the
cheapest kind of food?
Il have gone somewhat extensively
into this matter so that you may have
a thorough understanding of the situa-
ton and thereby be the better able to
help out our difficulties

A LIFE LENCTHENER,
Peruna Catarrh Exteminator Strengthens the Entire Body
It Made MI. N. c. May Strong.

ANY people suffer from q form of
debility that is the direct result of
catarrh. For those SO afflicted,
Pe-ru-na is invaluable, as it always
cures catarrh and overcomes the
poisonous secretions caused by this
loathsome disease. One instance
where Pe-ru-na was used effect
ually as a spring medicine comes
from J. R. Stuart, Of Eastland,
Tex, who writes; My wife and
needed a spring tonic. We bought
bottle of Pe-ru-na. 1t did all
that was desired of it. For what
it cost me l got the best value of
any money l ever spent. My wife
has since used Pe-ru-na with the
most gratifying results.

Confirm the Treaty.

During this time Spain has lost all her
authority over the people of the Philip
pines. If, now that the whole status has
been changed on the assumption that the
Islands would come under the United
States authority, we reject the PROPOSE
ton, we simply add confusion and chaos
to the situation. Neither the dignity of
the United States, due regard to the Fill
ipinos, nor respect for the civilized world
will permit us to take that step at this
stage of the proceedings. Spanish impo-
tence, American skill and vigor, hesitat-
ing Craftsmanship, and the fates all seem
to have conspired to put the Philippines
under the authority of the United States.
The die is cast: the Philippines are ours,
and the defeat of the treaty could do
nothing but aggravate the situation. be-
little the nation, and make a rational.
Statesmanlike policy less possible From
every point of view it is manifestly the
duty OF the Senate to confirm the treaty,
not because territorial expansion is good
policy for the United States, but because
the defeat of the treaty will not now rem
edy the mistake. True Craftsmanship
will seek to remedy whatever mistakes
have been committed, not by defeating
the treaty but in So shaping the plans
under which the new possessions shall be
governed as to avoid the evil of making
imperialism permanent feature of the
Republic S policy. From Gunton's Mag
azine for January.

The Ocean is Ours.

This poem was written by Hon. Bellamy
Storer, United States Minister to Belgium,
under the inspiration of paragraph in an
article published in the Paris Temps, on
the destruction of the Spanish fleet off
Santiago, and was sent to Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, who has kindly consented to
its publication in Harper's Weekly. The
following is a translation of the paragraph
in question:
eff it is true that all the Spanish fleet
has been destroyed except single ship,
it is disaster almost equal to that of the
Grand Armada. Once more the sea has
betrayed Spain to the profit of that Anglo
Saxon race which appears decidedly,
under whatever flag it fights-under the
Stars and Stripes or under the union jack
to have all the favors of that element"
O'er the Atlantic
Comes the of the ship guns
The English speaking ship guns
Telling the Latin race frantic and old,
Telling all Russia, gigantic and young,
Telling the feuda boy Kaiser romantic,
What the Spanish Armada by Howard was
told
What the winds to the salt seas for ages have
Telling the Powers:
"The ocean is oars.
Together we pull,
Nelson and Farragut
Rodney and Hull"
Der the Pacific
Comes the roar of the ship guns
The nglish-speaking ship guns
Smuggling the beard of the Don at Manila
As Drake did at Cadiz three centuries gone.

In spite of their forts AS you did, we've

FRANCIS WILSON AT HYPERION.
 The new comic opera, "The Little Cor poral," is the ninth production that MT. Wilson has given the public since he be- came star and it is said to be the most important one. The story of the opera finds some foundation in history, and several incidents are suggested by Balzacs "Chouans." The first act is laid in romantic Brittany, where reside Petitpas (Mr. Wilson, and St. Andre, his master, and hither comes Napoleon's army. Petitpas and his master are forced to accompany the expedition to Egypt. The second act transpres in AL exandria and the third in the desert not far from the pyramids. During the so- journ in Egypt, Petitpas personates Na- poeon and saves the life of his master; the latter is captured by the Arabs, who think they have the real Napoleon, and escapes by a trick which excites the superstition of his captors. MT. Wilson will be at the Hyperion next Monday
