GIVE RELIEF TO

PRESIDENT AUTHORIZES 1T.
Starving Condition ofPeople Requires
It-EmpIoy ment 10 be Given TO
Relieve suffering.

New York, March "A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
To relieve the great distress In Puerto
Rico caused by the hurricane Secretary
Root BY direction OF the President, has
authorized the use of si,225,OoO remain
Ing over from the emergency war fund.
This authorization was made about ten
days ago as the result Of a special re-
port from Major General Davis showing
the starving condition Of natives.
The matter has been kept very quiet,
because In the absence Of specific APP
preparation for this purpose the author
tiles feared criticism from those not
familiar with the true state Of affairs
in Puerto Rico.
The amendment has been incorporated
in the Foraker civil government Puerto
Rican bill, providing for the reimburse
ment 10 the United States out OF the
revenues Of the island ''of any moneys
which have been or may be expended
out OF the emergency fund OF the war
department for the relief Of the indus
trial conditions of the Island caused by
the hurricane OF August Sth, 1892 II
Is assumed by the war department that
Congress will make this authorization
before the sl,225,0O0 has all been ex-
pended.
General Davis has been directed TO
utilize the money In clearing up the
plantations, so that the farmers may
proceed with the raising OF crops. This
will enable many natives 20 go TO work
at once and thereby put sufficient
monay In circulation TO temporarily re-
lieve existing suffering.
