NEEDY AMERICANS IN CUBA.
\ Problem That Is PerpIexing the
Secretary of War

General Wood Governor General Of
Cuba has reported to the Secretary of
War that there are great many desti-
tute Americans in the island without
means of support and without sufficient
money to enable them TO get back 20 the
United States 1t was suggested by Cen
eral Wood that the Army transports NAV
be utilized for the transportation of these
people.
Secretary Root does not favor this plan
He admitted yesterday afternoon that the
question of caring for these people was a
perpleXing problem, as in many cases the
military authorities in Cuba are com
PEELED to provide food and shelter for
them, while number, sooner or later, be-
come charges upon the authorities as a
result of sickness and disease He said
that in the colony Known as Gloria,
great many destitute women and children
were being assisted by military authori-
ties. This will continue as far as posi-
bic. but Secretary Root added that it
should be announced that Cuba is no place
for persons without capital. He said:
"A large percentage OF these now desti-
tute went to Cuba without a cent While
there is money to be made in Cuba by
persons with capitaI and only moderate
capital at that, yet Il is no place for per
sons without moneys There is no employ
ment to be found fhers and those who
contemplate going Should take warning
from those now suffering for food and
shelter"

the disbanding of the Building Trades

ject was, however discussed after the ad-

fiIiated with the council. Milford Spohn,
secretary of the council, in speaking of the
meeting which, it is said will be held to-
night by delegates to the Building Trades

said that he has already notified the ma

THE TREASURY SURPLUS.
Action by Congress Reducing 1t Not
Probable This Session.

Although the Republican leaders in the
House of Representatives seem disposed
TO act on the suggestion OF the Secretary
of the Treasury and frame legislation for
removing some of the war taxes in order
to get rid of the Treasury surplus. the
chances are that no action will be taken
at this session. The surplus is piling up
with a rapidity which surprises even those
who are fully posted as to the Treasury
situation, but it is thought by many Re
publican leaders in Congress and in the
executive offices that some better way
can be devised to get rid of 1t than to
amend the war revenue law.
President Mckinley conferred on the sub
iect yesterday with Senators and others,
and it was the general opinion that it
would be unwise to reopen the financial
and tariff discussion by going into the
question OF reducing the internal revenue
taxes. The President is anxious TO have
the legislative programme Ieady arranged
carried out, so that Congress can adjourn
before the meeting of the Republican Ma
ticnal Convention if possible. 1t has been
the idea of the President and those in
Congress, with whom he has conided that
matters could be so arranged as TO admit
OF final adjournment about the 10th of
June. The Porto Rican bill is to be fol-
lowed in the Senate by the Spooner reso-
luton giving the President full control
in the Philippines until after the insur-
rection is ended and Congress shall have
provided a permanent form of government
for the islands, and 1t is thought that the
debate on this question will not be pro
longed. After that the Quay case and then
the appropriation bills are all that have
been arranged for, but these measures will
easily occupy the time of the two houses
for two months Or more. So far as the
Senate Steering Committee is concerned, at
least, they do not now intend to pass the
Ship Subsidy bill at this session.
The desire on the part of members of
the House 10 act on Secretary Cages sug-
gestion TO reduce the surplus is wide
spread. and is due in measure at least 10
wish TO forestall action on the part of
Representative Richardson the House
Democratic leader. He has had 4 resolu-
ton, calling on the Secretary of the
Treasury for information regarding the
surplus pending in the Ways and Means
Committee for some time. and had intend
ed to call it up at tomOrrows session
Representative Payne Chairman of the
committee, stole march on him by get
ting in his resolution on the same subject
yesterday. Representative Grosyenor had
drawn UP similar resolution but Chair
man Payne claimed the right as Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee TO in
troduca it. and when he did he left of
General Grosvenors preamble, which is as
follows:
Whereas it is unwise and unjust for the
United States to levy and collect by taxa
tion greater sum OF money annually
than is necessary to meet the wants of
government economically administered.
and
Whereas it is reported and generally
understood that under existing laws for
