by the INSCRIPTIONS Cuban mob of
Starving reconcentrados'' in Santiago.
His we'll known affection for his son
was used as a means by which raticn
tickets could be secured. He was be-
sieged in his office by all sorts and con
ditions of natives, both laborers and
men of better rank, who stated men
daciously that they had fought with his
son, and that they were now starving.
His paternal feelings were worked to
the extent Of over $4,000 rations in one
day.
The cost of each ration to the Amer
icen government is 10 cents. The
$500, 000 rations issued during the thir-
teen weeks ending Nov. cost $3.50 600
Today over 5000 rations at a cost of
$500 a day are being issued in Santi-
ago alone. 1t is safe to say that of the
5000 rations issued not one-twentieth
are deserving of charity. 1t is a ques-
ton that calls loudly for attention and
reform.
MILK FOR CUBANS.
1t is not pleasant for the American
people to realize that milk is being is
sued to an unworthy class in Cuba,
while the American soldier who risked
his life in the pursuit of his duty, who
faced bullets and is now facing dis
ease, should be deprived of it, The
army ration does not include milk, but
the Cuban ration does.

A SAMPLE OF STARVING CUBAN.
A few days later Colonel Wilson. on
duty in Santiago, told me that he mad
vainly tried to get laborers to work at
the quartermaster's wharf.
Come with me-" he sald, land I'll
, give you a sample.
We proceeded to the water front and
came upon a number of Cuban laborers
summing themselves near the dock.
There were fully 200 of them, scattered
about, lazily watching the BEATS on the
bay Colonel Wilson paused in front
of a group of ten.
Men" he said, in Spanish, "I want
fifty laboTers to truck boxes of provl,
ions. I'll pay you - dollar a day and s.
ration. Will you come to work?"
There was silence for a moment;
then one man, a fine specimen of ply
steal manhood, shuffied his feet, and
replied, in whining voice. Il have a
sick wife, senior, and I have to look
after her at home
He scurried off and vanished behind
a pile of boxes, and 1 saw some of the
other Cubans smile and exchange
glances. Colonel Wilson addressed each
man individually, and received an ex-
cuse from every one of them. We
started toward another group, but the
word had been passed, and within a
few minutes the dock was almost de-
serted.
up at my warehouse I have eleven
Spaniards employed, and not one of
these beggars," said the colonel, SEN
tentiously.
After the taking of Santiago, when
the question of feeding the starving
CUbans came up, it was decided to give
them ration based on the following
table:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-01-08

milk was issued on the recommended
ton of a doctor. Shortly after the
list of August fresh meat was added
to the list, and it was left to the dis
erection of the Cuban doctors forming
the INDECENT Cuban board whether the
fresh meat should be given in place of
bacon in certain cases.
HOW THE RATIONS WE'RE ISSUED
The issuing of ration tickets was left
to a board formed of Cuban physicians
and to certain officers of the army of
occupation, such as the commanding
generals aides. the commissary Off
GERS. etc. Printed tickets are used af-
ter the following style, this being a
translation:
RATION TICKET.
Give to the Bearer Rations for ......
days.
For a family of ..
Number requiring fresh meat ......
Number requiring milk ......
Name of Inspector.
Present from to u a. m. at any Re
lief Station.
The tickets are of different colors Or
ders for six days rations are printed
on white, five days on blue, and one on
red cardboard, the distinction being
made to assist the distributing agent
Each ticket must be signed by the Off
GER or doctor issuing it, the number of
persons in the family and the number

From the very beginning fraud was
practiced, both by the doctors and the
starving Cubans' Several doctors
were caught giving tickets to unworthy
persons, and one physician was discov-
cred selling them with astonishing
boldness. General Wood lost no time in
wedding them out, but he was power
less to check the dishonesty of the Gu
ban natives. To investigate each indi-
vidual case among thousands was alb
Solutely impossible.
Trusty men were set to work tracing
some of the applicants, and it was
found that at least two-thirds Of the
rationS drawn ultimately found their
way to the retail dealers. The mere
fact that these retail dealers of Santi-
ago have not interposed one objection to
the issuing of food by the American
government is proof enough that they
are stocking their stores with Yankee
flour and bacon and cornmeal. One
dealer who conducts a large store on
Gale Enramadas was heard to say that
he could figure his profits on the Amer
lean rations at $500 month.
ACTUAL CASES OF FRAUD.
General Wood secured absolute proof
that one of the best families in town
the family of a prominent sugar planter
had been living for weeks off rations
secured by their servants. 1 took
photograph of his house-a fine resi-
dence for SantiagO-but for obvious
reasons omit his name. This was not
an individual case by any means. In
the groups gathered in front of the re-
lief stations can be found women with
costly lace shawls, necklaces, rings and
other articles of personal adornment
supposed to be exclusively worn by the
well-to-do. Servants have been fol-
lowed from the station to the rear
doors of handsome residences. A wo-
man employed as a care-taker in one
of the government buildings at a
monthly salary of s35 was discovered
drawing five rations. In every case
capable of proof the perpetrators were
punished, but fraud still continues.
A certain colonel in the commissary
department, whose son was killed while
fighting in the Cuban ranks, has been
brought into bad odor in Washington

During a period of thirteen weeks
ending with Nov. 1, 1898, the Ameri-
can government. in the kindness of
its heart, issued to the so-caIled
Starving Cubans" of the province Of
Santiago de Cuba, just 100000 free
rations. A ration is a days food for
one man. Now the entire province of
Santiago contains at liberal esti-
mate rot more than $50, 600 persons, ma
tiveS and foreigners included.
Based on that little figuring will
deduce the startling fact that the
United States Of America has, within
the time specified, fed daily more than
one-fifth Of the entire population of
Santiago province; or, in other words,
have boarded free of charge for many
weeks a community equal in size to a
city Of 36,2s1 inhabitantsi
Scandal has become so great over
this condition that General Leonard
Wood has been using his influence to
have the issuing of rations entirely
stopped. He believes that the Cubans
should be made TO earn their living;

ington has not reached the point where
it wishes to end the present system.
In the meantime General Wood is hav-
ing difficulty in getting thNl Cubans to
do anything at all-except 10 draw ra-
tions.
When the United States captured
Santiago and assumed charge of the
city and province there were undoubt-
edly many people in sore straits. It
was right to feed them, and the mill
tary authorities, under orders from
Washington, began the task without
delay. Free distributing stations were
established in various parts OF the city
and in the different districts. The COM
miSsary department was placed in
charge. and the immense loads of pro-
visions brought down on regular trans
ports were given out with a liberal
hand
Within ten days actual starvation
was averted. The so-called reconcen-
trados began to fatten and recover
from the effects of the war. and when
II became evident that the male in
habitants had regained their usual
strength General Leonard Wood, who
is in supreme charge of the province
Of Santiago, inaugurated a system of
public improvements with the inten-
lion of providing work.
CUBANS WOULD NOT WORK.
He planned a boulevard to surround
the city and also provided for the re-
paving IS some of the principal streets.
Then he instructed his aide, Lieuten-
ant Hanna, to see that the needy Gu
bans, the heads of families, be given
work at dollar a day and a ration.
Lieutenant Hanna set about his task
with zeal. He sent men out to different
parts of the city to notify the inhabi-
tants that all who applied at GER
tain place would be given employment.

of whom five were Spaniards, soldiers
