AMERICANS IN CUBA
The Government Waking Up
to Their Condition.
SENATE COMMITTEE REPORTS
at. Atklae, of Barton, Reveals in
President th Trn Conditions
'That mnll aa tha Island.
Washington, May IB. There was a
sudden and violent outbreak of Cuban
sentiment today at th Capitol, and
daring the early boon the drift (
opinion was strongly toward speedy
and radical action by both congress and
tha executive, bnt later there was some
what of a reaction upon its becoming
known that the president, while keenly
alive to the situation, and anxious to
learn everything possible that could
guide his conduct of our : Cuban and
Spanish relations, felt that further in'
formation was necessary, and for the
Immediate present the question was
not one of recognition of the belliger
ency or independence of the Cuban in
surgents, but of relief for the American
citisens, destitute and helpless in tha
towns of the Pearl of the Antilles.
The foreign relations committee, it
should be stated, while agreeing upou
the necessity of relief for the suffering
r Americans, is favorable to more radical
measures, and a number of its mem
bers are earnestly desirous of instant
action by the executive in aid of the
, insurgents, but have not succeeded in
converting the administration to their
views that present action is appropriate
and imperative.
The event of the day was a report to
their colleagues by a subcommittee
whioh yesterday examined the state de
partment's Cuban reports. This state
ment, though not given to the public,
was so far disclosed in character as to
give rise to a good deal of excited com
ment among senators and members.
The report, based upon facta present
ed by the United States consuls in
: Cuba, it is said, brings ont in strong
relief the destitution which exists not
only among the Cubans, but among
Americans and paoitioos now in the isl
ands who were driven from their farms
and into the towns by Weyler'a orders,
and are thereby prevented from sup
porting themselves.
For several days past, the subject
matter of this report has been nnder
discussion quietly among a few of the
friends of Cuba in congress, and they
nave lost no opportunity of impressing
upon the president their convictions
that it is his duty, as the chief execu
tive, to delay no longer in taking active
teps to terminate the present condi
tion of affairs in Cuba. These repre
sentations, however, have not been suf
flcient to induce hasty, action. The
president is moving steadily and with
11 speed that safety and sonnd judg
ment warrant in the collection of facts
touching the conditions that exist upon
the inland today. To this end, Mr. Cal-
.lioou. is now in Cuba, officially on an-
1 other mission, iitrt J-krwaLsiLh
the observation of the conditions that
prevail. "When he has reported to the
" president and the latter has obtained
what he regards as a sufficient store of
. information, based on facts that cannot
be questioned, he will be ready either
, to take himself, or to suggest to con
gress, such action as these facta war
rant Meanwhile, he baa nnder considera
tion the beet mean of affording relief
to Americans suffering as a result of
the conditions on the islands.
xoaay, tee president saw, by ap
pointment, Edwin W. Atkins, of Bos
ton, who is largely interested in Cuban
sugar plantations. Air. Atkins gave
Eim a faithful picture of the economic
conditions that prevailed in Havana
and in other parts of the island when

FIGHTING IN EPIRUS.
Creeks Suddenly Become Active Ik th
West Kapnrta Conflicting.
London, Muy 1?. Except fur the
fighting in Epirus, the Turko-Ilelleuic
situation is unchanged.
It is tolerably certain that only a few
Greek troops remain in Domokos, tha
hulk of Constantino's army having
withdrawn to Lamia, where it will be
in closer communication with General
Smolensk!. This probably explains
tlie reported movements of the Turkish
army, as a number of Edhem Pasha's
troops have been inarching from Trik
linla to Volo. Without doubt the re
spite of the feast of Uairam is very wel
come to the fatigued men.
The fighting in Epirus has been un
decisive. It is believed that Kicopolia
is not yet captured, but only the
heights commanding the town. The
Greeks made a pretext of giving protec
tion to the peasants, but they evidently
had information as to the reasons for
the apparent inactivity of the Turks in
Epirus. This is the seventh time the
Greeks have attempted to advance to
Janina and have met with a repulse
which the Turk have never followed
up.
Evidently there is something wrong
with the Turkish forces at that point.
The recent report that a number of
officers were taken from Janina to Con''
stantinople in chains may perhaps ex
plain it. Possibly Turkey ia holding
her forces there through foar of a move
ment from Bulgaria.
Tho Situation Complicated.
London, May 17. The correspondent
of the Times at Athens says: The re
sumption of offensive operations in
Epirus greatly complicates the situa
tion and tends to hamper the negotia
tions for peace. The evident intention
of the Greek commander is to capture
the Turkish positions there in order to
show that they have not been defeated.
In an interview today, M. Kalli, the
premier, repeated his statement that
humanitarian motives are responsible
for the advance in Epirus, but lie did
not deny the advantages which might
lie hoped for from the capture of I're
versa and the occupation of the adjoin
ing Turkish territory.
"We are still at war," he said, "and
until an armistice ia concluded Oreece
retains her liberty of action. We can
not allow our activity to be confined to

member, declining to participate in it.
ine report consisted ol a concise
statement of the contents of official re
ports from the American consuls in
Cuba, bringing information np to with'
in a week. This report confirms th
, newspaper reports as to the situation
on the island, and even goes farther in
depicting the deplorable situation than
do most of the newspaper stories. Es
pecial stress is laid upon the condition
of American citizens. It is positively
stated that hundreds are in a starving
condition : and wretchedly clothed,
Deaths are daily reported. Americans
are scattered in all parts of the island,
and are shown no consideration what
ever because of their American citizen
ship.
The Americans are generally persons
who reside on the plantations, but who
have been driven from their homes to
the towns, and, being among strangers
and without employment, are compel!
ed to subsist on almost nothing. They
are not allowed to return to their plan'
tutions, even to pick berries or secure
the least article of subsistence. Tbey
aie theoretically nnder the oare of the
Spanish army, but the army is without
a commissariat. They have no means
of leaving the island. Their condition
is pronounced wholly deplorable.
The committee was especially im
pressed with this recital, and the opin
ion was generally expressed that tin
situation should be remedied, if possi
ble. , It was considered aa placing even
worse aspect upon the question of out
relations with Cuba than the imprison
nient of Americans, of which there ar
now comparatively few instance.
The report also indicates generally
wretched condition of all the inhabi
tant oi tue island, because ol scarcity
of food and money, especially in th
centers of population, and because also,
of the pressure of the most malignant
diseases, such as yellow fever, mall
pox and dysentery.
The reports indicate that tha Span
ish army is not so strong now a it was
year ago, largely on aooount of these
ravages, while they indioate no dimin

Tbe bushmen find water by digging In

has been in progress all day near Fil

many guns, two companies of sappeers
and squadron of cavalry, attacked the
Turks, who were almost without artil

stubborn resistance at the second. In

close to the cannon that the former
could not be used. The battle still

odor Is so small that no harm will come
to the plants. Most Insect are direct
ed to plant by their organ of smell,
which are very acute. Any strong odor
will get tbem off tbelr scent, and thus
protect the object of their search.
Kb- Bhella far Llnar Hen.
Tbe avidity with which laying hen
will eat crushed egg shell shows how
necessary they are In tbe hen' econ
omy for egg production. There Is no
better way to supply lime required for
egg shells than this. The shells lu the
gizzard also act a grit, enabling a to
dlget food. The only care lu feeding
I to crush the shell thoroughly, so that
Its likeness to the egg may not be seen.
Where egg shell are thrown out with
out being crushed, tho fowls soon learn
tbe habit of picking at the shells on
eggs, and from this they quickly be
come egg eater, a habit which once
formed i never forgotten.
Kaffir Corn for Cow.
I nave Hiorougniy tested this feed
and find it far ahead of any othor for
cattle and horse, especially milk cows.
which If fed wholly on this will produce
nice, golden butter during the entire
winter. If tbe fodder Is well seeded It
Is beat to remove part or the tops, else
the cow will get too much grain. Give
a small armful to each cow three time
a day. V. W. B., Decatur County,

a profit But corn derives its nutrition
so largely from tbe air that It can be
grown In succession so far as the sup
ply or plant food Is concerned. But It
is found In tbe West where this policy
has been mostly practiced that the
smut on stalks and ears Is so greatly
Increased as In some cases to take one
fifth or more of tbe crop. The smut
