The number of desttutes being

estimates place the destitute refu-
gees at 10000 in Oakland and Berke.

are to he met is the subject of most
earnest consideration between De-
vine, the Finance Committee and nv.

while exertions of the army to
reduce aid to smallest possible limit
has effected important readjustment,
yet the solution of the situation with.
out enormous suffering appears i'm.
possible. While daily hoping for
great decreases in numbers of des.
