"A TOUCH OF NATURE"
Uncle Sam's Relief Fond
Feeds Thousands.
THE AMERICANS DIVIDE RATIONS
Supplies Issued by Let's Orders to 1,
400 Persons. Thus Sustaining -Fully
10,000.
New Yobk, Nov. 19. A epecial to the
Herald from Havana says :
la every town in Cuba where there
are American citizens, groups of starv
ing islanders gather every day in front
of the hoasea of those Americans and
beg for the crumbs that fall from the
table. That Americans have anything
on their tables from which crumbs
could fall is due to the relief fund of
$50,000 appropriated by , congrees last
fall. Consul-General Lee has drawn bo
far about $25,000 of the total amount,
and has distributed it to the consuls in
Matanzas, Cienfuegos, Sngna, Santiago
and elswbere. These consuls buy pro
visions and distribute weekly rations to
distressed Americans.
There are 14,000 American citizens
on the relief fond list. Of these about
250 are American born. The others are
naturalized and their families, who, hav
ing their citizenship papers properly
registered at the different United States
consulates, are entitled, if in distress,
to the same relief as an American-born
citizen.
According to a statement made by
Consul Baker.who is stationed at Sagua,
about 10,000 people are being kept alive
in Cuba by these rations distributed for
the support of 1,400. Neighbors gather
around the front door of the houses of
American citizens and beg a share of
the food which is distributed by the
consulates. .
Consul Brice, of Matanzas, reports that
since July 1st 27,000 persons have died
in his district. As he was crossing the
public square one evening lately, be saw
a man fall to the ground .within .a few
feet of him, and, hastening to his side,
found that he was dead. His body was
nothiug more than a skeleton. Such in
cidents occur daily all over the island
where the concentrados ar herded to
gether. General Blanco's orders , to allow the
pacificos to cultivate land outside the
military lines would diminish suffering
if the people had the strength and the
implements with which to work, but
they have neither, and Weyler's scheme
to exterminate the Cuban people ia rap
idly proving successful.'
The President's Message.
Chicago, Nov. 19. A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Currency reform will be the leading
feature of the president's an
nual message to congress. President
McKinley is now writing that portion of
the message which deals with the pro
posed revision of the financial system of
the government. Revision of the finan
cial system along conservative lines is
to be made a distinct policy of the ad
ministration. .

. Excitement at Fever Heat.
Ceescknt City, Cal., Nov. 19. There
is much excitement in and about Cbetco
as the result of the killing of young
Cool id ge by the Van Pelts, over the
towneite question. - Coolidge senior, a
capitalist of Silverton, Or,, has offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and con
viction ot the various ' members of the
Van Pelt party, principals and access
ories of the murder, and several parties
are out from Chetco and Gold Beach pa
trolling the roads and trails,
Joe Alvin, a half-breed, suspected of
being one of the ' Van Pelt party, has
been shot and probably fatally injured
by a posse.
E. C. Hughes and Sink Van Pelt have
been arrested here by Sheriff Ferguson
at the request of Sheriff Turner of Curry
county, Oregon, but both protest tbeir
innnocence and state that they can
prove an alibi. . "
Josttse to a Murderer.
Union, Or., Nov. 19. Kelsay Porter,
the slayer of the Mache family, was
hanged in this city this morning, accord
ing to the sentence passed upon him in
October.
The execution took place at 6:45, on a
scaffold that had been erected in the in
closure surrounding the county jail. The
governor had been petitioned to com
mute the sentence, but no word was re
ceived from him till last night, when the
sheriff received a message stating he
could not interfere with, the course of
the law, and the sheriff at once com
pleted arrangements for carrying out the
order of the court.
Thursday evening Porter - sent for
Rev. Shields of the first Presbyterian
church, who called on the condemned
man, and gave him such spiritual ad
vice as be could.
Weyler's Reception a Frost.
New York, Nov. 19. A epecial to the
Herald from Corunna says : ,;
Your correspondent has just returned
from on board the Montserrat, which
anchored in this port with Weyler on
board. The quay was crowded with an
immense multitude, but the crowd was
perfectly undemonstrative. .' . '
It may be said that Weylere reception
so far as the Spanish people - were con
cerned, was a complete fiasco. He did
not appear on deck but remained locked
in his cabin, refusing absolutely to see
anybody but the government officials,
but he made a short speech in reply to
the commission. His remarks were per
fectly complimentary and devoid of po
litical significance.-: -

tured Philip Scbnable, of Elizabeth, N.

there inspecting the property, and held
him a prisoner in a cabin for two days
and threatened to hold him until he
signed a check for their wages.

overtaken by the miners. He then
acceded to their demands and wrote- a

he was allowed to go, and left for the

The three-year-old boy of J. A. John
son, of Lynn Center, 111., is subject to
attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson eays
he is sure that the timely use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, during a se
vere attack, saved his boy's life. He is
in the drug business, a member , of . the
firm of Johnson Bros., ot that place, and
they handle a great many patent med
icines for throat and lung diseases. '. He
had all these to'eelect from, and skilled
physicians to answer to his call, but se
lected this remedy for use in his own
home at a time when his boy's life was
in danger, because he knew it to be su
perior to any other, and famous the
country over lor its cures of the croup.
Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling
cough medicine' they handle, and that
gives splendid satisfaction in all cases.

New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of

never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colds.' I cannot
say enough for its merits." Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is not an experiment.
