TO ABATE RELIEF WORK.
NO MORE SUPPLIES LIKELY TO BE SENT
FROM THIS COUNTRY AT PRESENT.

Washington, May 17.-In view of Consul
Ayme's report 10 the effect that enough relief
stores are either on the scene or bound for the
stricken islands in the West Indies 1t is proba-
bic that this government will now abate its ef-
forts in behalf Of the sufferers, and that
more supplies. at least will be shipped from
this country The Buffalo is now lying in
serve at New-York, partially laden with stores.
but It said at the Navy Department to-day
that in all probability she viii not be sent TO
the islands. At least this viii be the plan fol-
lowed at Washington until the reports Of the
army and navy officers on the islands TO the
needs Of their inhabitants are at hand.
A question now arises 70 the disposition
Of the private contributions already at hand, IN
the event that the money is not needed to buy
more supplies. However. il is thought here that
there viii be many avenues Of relic other than
Of supplying food TO the people. to which the
money be diverted.
The President has requested the Secretaries
of War and the Navy 10 ask the officers OF their
departments relief duty in the West
Indies 20 report Immediately their opinion
