OVER 100000 NEED FOOD.
Grant Reported 30 Deaths of Starvation
In One Porto Rican Province.
Plan to Aid.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-General Roy
Stone and the members Of the executive
committee of the National Red Cross
called upon the president, to lay before
him plan for the relief Of some of the
destitution in Porto Rico. Over 100, 900
of the natives, according to DIR. Henna,
have been without bread and meat for
six weeks, and are on the verge of
starvation,
General Fred D. Grant reported 80
deaths from starvation i'll single PROV
ince. The aid the military authorities
in Porto Rico were able to give the ma
tives III the way of distribution of ra-
| tions and employment on the roads has
been greatly reduced since the free dis
| distribution of rations was suspended,
| and some Of the Porto Rican planters
| and merchants devised a scheme which
they believe will afford much relief to
| tie destitute and at the same time serve
| them by introducing Porto Rican goods
into American markets. The price of
coffee in Porto Rico is very low, on ac-
count of the large crop in Brazil, and
| they offered to contribute large amount
to be sold in this country through the
agency of the Red Cross, the proceeds to
90 toward the relief of the distressed
upon the island. The Porto RiCau
Steamship company offered to carry
these contributions free. They also
offer to contribute crystal sugar, fruits,
| preserves, cigars, cigarettes, ETC., and
suggested the sale of these products at
coffee rooms to be established in the
principal cities by the Red Cross.
They desire that these charitable con
contributions shall be admitted to this
country free of duty. The contributors
of these articles hope to profit later by
the introduction Of their products in the
| American markets.

IRELAND Is H0N0RED.
VIII Deliver the Principal Discourse nj
the Joan of Arc Celebration
In France.
soc. and sr.oo, all druggists.
SCOTT & BOVINE, Chemists New York.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The presence
Of Archbishop Ireland in Europe at this
time led to efforts among leading mem
bers of the diplomatic corps here to
have the eminent American divine pre-.
side at some notable church occasion.
AS result it was learned that the arch
bishop would deliver the principal dis.
course at the Joan of Arc celebration on
May s at the old French town of Or
leans, which gave the name Of the
"Maid Of Orleans" to the girl saint and
soldier.
The exercises will have both a rel.
gious and national character, bringing
pilgrimnges from all parts Of Europe,
and having the special benediction of
the pope. 1t was thought at first that
Archbishop Ireland would take this oc-
casion to correct the misapprehensions
which have arisen in Europe as to
"Americanism, as set forth in Father
Hecker's book. The errors on this sub.
ject are ascribed mainly TO the mistrans-
lation Of the book by French abbe.
Quite recently, however, the leading
church authorities in this country have
made known that Archbishop Ireland s
discourse would be confined strictly tc
religious themes, dealing with the in.
spired character of Joan of Arc. While
this may not give the discourse the
significance at first expected, yet the be.
lief is expressed by those familiar with
the arrangements that the fervor and
patriotic impulses of Archbishop Ire.
land may lead to some discussion of the
American theme, which has been sc
prominent in church affairs of late, and
in which he has been one Of the fore
most figures.

TWO KILLED, NUMDbK HURT.
Ben,ul Exploded In Laboratory at
elphia-Number of Small
Buildings Damaged.

PHILADELPHIA, April 26.-By the ex.
plosion Of 75 gallons of benzol in the
laboratory Of Frank II. Fleer & Co.,
manufacturers of chewing gum at Nos.
2343 and 2345 Callowhill street, two
men were killed, three persons seriously
injured and over a score of others were
more or less injured by flying debris.
The dead were:
Walter Manwaring, assistant super.
intendent.
Charles Mckinley, engineer.
OF those injured, Harry Randall, nm
employe, and Mrs. Givison and her l.
year-old child are the most seriously
hurt, bu; they will recover.
No less than 100 buildings in the vi
cinity, most of them very small dwell
ings, were damaged.
At the time of the explosion there
were only four men working in the
building, who were preparing a mixture
for the making of vanilline. The doors
to the room in which they were working
were closed, but the fumes from the
benzol in some manner reached the
furnace in the next room and the explo-
sion instantly followed. Randalls es-
cape was remarkable. He was blown
through the roof and landed on an ad.
joining building. At first it was thought
he was dead, but after treatment in the
hospital he regained consciousness. Al.
though badly hurt, he will recover.
George Conner, the fourth employe in
the room, escaped with a few severe
bruises.
AS Mrs. Givison with her child on
her arm was hurriedly leaving her home,
which was directly opposite the labora.
| tory, her dress caught fire from a flying
ember and she and the child were badly
burned. Their recovery is doubtful.
Money loss estimated at over $lOO,OOO
