[ H V.iy 17. Secretary Of State Sherman has already began to reecive answers from I'nited States consuls in < uba in regard to the suffer ing of Americans in the island because of General Weyler’s orders coneonrtat ing peoplo of the disturbed sections ia the towns. These have been scut to the President at Philadelphia All con firm the dark reports sent heretofore, and It is almost certain that the Presi dent will send a message to Congress early next, week suggesting a relief appropriation, hut taking care not to complicate this with any other <jucs tion pertaining to tiie revolution and preserving the strict policy of neu trality. One consul said: “Things arc grow ing worse every day. If that merciful country does not come to our aid, God only knows how many persons will die of starvation.” The consuls were especially in structed to send lists of American suf ferers and the number of these will be n«: 11 i/ iv * v 11 y i At the state department it was said thi* morning that the number of na tive and naturalized citizen* on the island who are legitimate object* for the aid of this country will aggregate several thousand. If this be true the proposed appropriation of 930,000 would not go very far in measure* of relief. An American consul was so im pressed by the suffering which eair.e under his observation daily that he recently sent a letter to the mayor of the city, offering to contribute 1,300 loaves of bread for the starving The mayor waited several days, and then sent a reply, expressing thanks, but not accepting. It was evident that the mayor recognized the need and wished to accept the contribution, but was afraid to do so. Senator Morgan said that the mes sage of the 1’resident, if it. should ap ply < nly to relief measures in the way of food and clothing, would not cause him to deviate from his purpose of pressing his resolution for the recogni tion of a state of war, as he had given notice he would do before it was as sumed thut the 1'resident would send in such a message. The friends of the Morgan resolution will not antagonize measures contemplating temporary re Dcf. hut they are not. disposed to ac cept such measures in place of a more generul and far reaching declaration. THE NEW YORK UNDER OR DERM. Nk.w Yohk, May IT.—According to the Herald's Washington bureau, orders have been sent to Rear Admiral Ricurd to have his flagship, the New York, ready to go to sea at a moment's warning to-day, with coal to her full j capacity. Concerning the flagship's destination nothing eau be learned j at the navy department, but \ that its departure from port has any bearing on the Cuban cause is denied by the secretary of the navy. It has. however, been suggested that < onsul (icncral Dee has renewed his request (hat. a naval force be kept within a short distance of Havana for the protection of American citizens in that rity against mob violence. There is no corroboration of this theory, but the belief among the navy officer* is strong that the New York is to be he ld in complete readmes, to go to Key West at a moment's warning \ MADRID 1'Al'ER tjl lTE RA1UD M*I>HI1>, May IT.— The Hcraido, re ferring to the possible action of the United States for the relief of Ameri cans in Cuba says: "The Spanish gov ernment will huvr universal opinion ou ,1* side if it set* with energy in re |M-o.ng American interference in Cu ban a flair*, but tin* opinion will hr hostile unless the government cease* tusking concession* These display* of weakness, if they do not increase itriuiuly iln nut improve the filiation in i ulia." 1 lu < orre»pi.uih-ncia tnu min i'* that the reported iuereave in the tlnmylh of Ui>' Spuhali luivt »»> iteciileil u|m>ii ib v.ew of the pu*»:l>tllty of nlvrua liutikt wmlt i K A 11...»•*!..I l.alnro fur rulrrreikt laiMtm* May IT The large*! *um . fff pah) a p.uuikt in l.*m l.m n.Il lv firm I vli n ««kl for one |erfnnmui« in tyuevn * hull iliiriny the prevent tflivili tie t* lit revel*' M *i gMlUi-a* \ » in tar f- e hat Urn oltereil to Mm*. 1‘alti to >>nn three emg» ut * vuiarni r 1'A‘rlt l‘»v'o* Uii.iiv i«oi tl.ilrv h iaim*U l.lvltu Mu* l" l.ieutio unt I n.eia minima nil in# t o*n|*auy l, Idaho Nat «.« ai guar I ha* revet viol a Irhfi* n In m Mullen that a *t#ei hue** While i he gun* *lnt *ihhh|M I .on of the 'lute ni.ttla Ware kept o »» ciikn .1 nil n a It t In 4 Wiui .it iu*vhi *1 I * tuner* oho »to**» iviruli fltu gun* till ***' rui u4* of ammunition lafinM tiuitif ut tt*»«tauantan it i. uni hun M .»* It In the 4 m tf.at mmr* to tint Art Inyhau 'hargwvi «llh the m>ir*Wr of I.

ONLY IN Dr.iT.N HKM K VYAM Kli Nnw York, May If*. -A Cuban cor respondent of the New York Journal, who hus just returned from a visit to General Gome/ and the other Cuban leader*, brought the following state ment by General Gome/, to the Amer ican people: "Your correspondent now in our camp lias requested of me a statement of the attitude of the Cuban republic on certain questions likely to assume more or less importance when our struggle for liberty shall have been concluded. "The question of our acceptance of the autonomous terms offered by Spain has already been ably answered by our distinguished representative in the Cnited States. Mr. Kstrada. i’alma. Neither the terms of autonomy nor the act of offering them Is worthy of se rious consideration on the part of Cu ba ns, who have liecome familiar with the treachery and duplicity of Spain and worthlessness of her promises. We do not believe we shall ever have to call a special convention to consider the framing of a peace treaty with Spain, (.inly a concession of absolute Independence will be regarded as a sufficient basis for treaty negotiations, anil this the Spanish government will not grant. "It is difficult to discuss withoat embarrassment the question of our At titude towards any proposition look ing to the annexation of Cuba to the Cnited States in the event of our ulti mate victory, as there had developed in the Cnited States a strong anti-an nexation sentiment before the Cubans | have indicated n the slightest degree ant desire for tills closer relationship. Among the men now battling for Cuba’s freedom there is a strong senti ment against mint xation to the Cnited States, although our feelings towards vuur country are of the friend liest and most sympathetic character. We are lighting for absolute freedom, not only from Spain, but from any government not of our own making. \\ t will stand ready to form with the Cnited State* any alliance calculated to mutually strengthen our two coun tries commercially or otherw ise, but I do not believe there is a sentiment in either country in favor of annexation stiamg enough to warrant the lioja* of tin ultimate enion of our two coun tries in tin- relationship contemplated "Anv proposition from Spain looking t<i the grunting of our independence a pi m the payment to the Spanish gov einmuil of a s.un large euougli to (•over the expenses *•( the war will lie ■ c eciod In Du' 1 nban republic We can wrest our Independent'.* from Spam with our swords without ill cumbering mu new republic with uu ein> a*■; 1 ** " a' debt In th . i. iniiiuiiieath>u I wish to Cgn a call Hie at tent on of the civilized word' to ibe warfare conducted ||\ Gem a.
