The address OF the Juntn Pafriotica
regarding the abandonment Of the pro

circulated to-day. II Is as follows:

I'm accordance with the wishes oil
the American authorities. the directory
Of the Juntn Patriotica, after consulta-
tlon with the main committee. has
agreed to stis,,end the festivities
planned to celebrate the independence
Of the island. In a reasonable letter
to the commission charged with pre-
senting the festival program. General
Ludlow has indicated the desirability
OF suspending for the present pubic
demonstrations. owing TO a rtimor tnht

ban police are not yet organized, there
might he some interruption of public
order, In the preservation OF which all
citizens, and especially all Cubans, are
deeply Interested
"At the same time General Ludlow
declares that the American authorities
are in full sympathy with the Joyous
feeling OF the Cubans. and that when
the situation becomes more settled they
will take pleasure In promoting such
festivals ns have been proposed, ana
will even participate In them. But the
American authorities are convinced
that the present moment Is not oppor-
tune for celebrations.
I'm view of the fact that the consid-
erntions thus urged are quite in accord
with obvious good judgment, the rep
resentatiyes of the directory have de-
termined TO suspend the festivals ar
ranged for the coming week. which
will be carried out as soon MS circuni-
stances will permit. The directory re-
grets the existence OF such doubts and
misgivings as prevent the carrying out
of the program us projected; but they
have agreed to recommend to the Gu
bans to cooperate In maintaining order
during the change Of flags and In the
days following. because they are con-
vinced that the moderation and orderly
behavior of the Cuban people Mt these
moments will powerfully influence the
future destiny of our country"

from St. Petersburg two newspaper
accounts OF the Russian famine. From
the FIRST Of these we quote the follow
ing: "There il an abundance Of grain
in Russia. Regraters and grain deal
ers have suficient rye to feed the
whole localities for many months. The
trouble is that the peasants have no
money to buy II. In q whole village
II is dificult to nnd change for three
or I'VE rubles. The number Of cattle
has been decreasing since the last fam
inc. Whole villages are living upon
potatoes and water. At present. ow-
ing to assistance from the government
and private channels, the peasants
have received enough money to enable
them to COW their fields. The czar
has also provided horses known as the
s.cssr's horses" to help peasant fami-
lies till their ground and keep them
from going to increase the number of
city proleteriat The 'czar's cows"
will save with their milk hundreds OF
children from disease and even death
Perhaps this money of the car Will
