Ilecoimiiuiidatioiis for the llnllef o( AiiiurlcaiiR in Culm. Washington, May 17. President Mc Kinley today sunt to congress a message recommending that an appropriation of $50,000 be at once made, for the relief of destitute Americans in Cuba, and the removal to American soil of such as wish to come but are without means to make the juiuney. In accordance with the president's rec ommendation, tho senate passed without a division, n resolution appropriating $50,000 for the purpose specified in the message. In the house a similar resolution was presented, inn Bailey of Texas objected to its consideration without an amend ment embodying Senator Morgan's reso lution to recognizo the belligerency of thi insurgents. The resolution was therefore sidetracked. The cabinet also considered the Cuban matter today at a special meeting, and indorsed the recommendations of Presi dent MtKinley regarding relief meas ures. The president's message to congress was as follows: "To the Senate and House of Keproseu tativo of the United States "Oilicial information from our consuls in Cuba establishes the fact that a large number of American citizens in the isl and are in a state of destitution, sutler i'lg for want of food and medicines. 'This applies particularly to the rural districts in the central and eastern parts f the island. The agricultural classes have been forced from their farms into the nearest towns, where they are with out work or money. Local authorities the several towns, however kindly disposed, are unable to relievo the needs f thoir own people and are altogether powerless to help our citizens. "The latest report fiom Consul-General Lee estimates that from 600 to 800 Americans are without means of sup port. I have assured him provisions will be made to relieve them. To that e"d, I recommend that congress make an appropriation of not less than $50,000 to be immediately available for use wnder direction of the secretary of atate. Is desirable that part of the sum which may be appropriated by congress hould, in the discretion of yie secretary of Btate, also be used for the transporta tion of American citizens, who, desiring 1H POWDER Absolutely Pure.

Representatives of tho powers yesteiday drew up a note which will be presented to the Turkish govern ment as soon as one of tho ambassadors receives the necessary instructions from his government.

Although it is assumed in some quar ters that the porte, in accordance with Eastern usages, has demanded more in order to obtain less, it is pointed out that it the Turkish government desired to bargain it would not have formulated its condition officially.

Mr. James Rowland of this village, state that for twenty-five years his wife has been a sufferer from -rheumatism. A few nights ago she was in such pain that she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr. Rowland for the doctor, but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead of going for the doctor be went to the store and secured a bottle ot it. His wife did not approve of Mr. Row land's purchase at first, but neverthe less applied the Balm thoroughly and in an hour's time was able to go to sleep.
