CUBANS ARE IN DESPAIR.
They Say Tariff Conditions Viii Ruin
the Island.

The Merchants Association of New York
has received from the board Of merchants
of MatanZas, CuDa, circular setting forth
the conditions existing on the island. The
circular is dated January "a, 1902, and Is
signed by the president and members Of
the board. 1t is, in part, follows:
From the beginning Of last December
the situation here, as a natural outcome
OF the extremely low value of sugar. has
assumed so gloomy an aspect that nothing
but the immediate application of tariff
concessions to our products on their being
imported into the United States could save
the country from a tremendous crisis, fol-
lowed by it's total ruin.
There seems to be a wrong impression
in the states that Cuba is still possessed
of sufficient wealth to enable her to tide
over her present troubles. This is not the
case.
American Intervention inspired all the
Inhabitants with spch confidence that every
one of them convinced that a new era Of
ed before them, set to work with a will
to undo all the harm tina, the war had
done, supported in their confiding enthusi-
asm by the promises Of help and good will
they received from the start from the
American administration.
THE condition of affairs here is reaching
such a climax that the Cuban economical
problem can no longer be looked at with
Indifference in the states Il has already
become a question of humanity 1t is
either the life or death OF a deserving peo-
ple which is at stake. Should we be left pitt
iessly to founder under the weight of pres
ent frightful developments. scenes Of past

seouel of untold esu3erings will occur again
