NEEDY AMERICANS IN CUBA.
4 Problem That Is PerpIeNing the
Secretary of War

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 10 get back % the
United States. 1t was suggested by Gen
eral Wood that the Army transports may
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
pcrplexing problem. as in many cases the
military authorities in Cuba are com
PEELED to provide food and shelter for
them while a 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, a
great many destitute women and children
were being assisted by military authori-
ties This will continue as far as posi-
be but Secretary Root added that 1t
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 plade in Cuba by
persons with capital, and only moderate
capital at that yet Il is. no place for per
sons without moneyA There is no employ
ment TO be found fhera and those who
contemplate going should take warning
from those now suffering for food and
shelter"

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

Although the Republican leaders in the
House Of Representatives seem disposed
10 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 rapidly 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 It 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 already arranged
carried out. so that Congress can adjourn
before the meeting Of the Republican Ma
ticnal Convention il 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 10 admit

lowed in the Senate by the SpOoner resO-
luton giving the President fun control

the appropriation bills are all that have
been arranged for. but these measures VIII
