[ 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

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Comparative Calm at a Time When a
Ceneral Revival Wav Kvpeeted.
New York, May 17.—Bradstrect's
says: ’The unexpected falling off in
the request for staple goods within n
month lias resulted in a period of com
parative calm at a time whAi u gen
eral revival in demand had been
looked for. Wholesalers report that
the volume of business consists of fill
ing orders, even Chicago not claiming
more than to have held its own in vol
ume of goods distributed. Interior
merchant* continue to buy for nearby,
wants only, and in many directions
farmers are too busy with field work
to supply their wants at the country
stores.
"There are 2,71 business failures re
ported throughout the United States
this week, compared with 27# last
week, 2i>.7 in the corresponding week
one year ugo, and 210 two year* ago,
ISO three years ago, and as compared
with 2.7.7 in a like period of 1MI7.”

Wahhixotox, May 1ft.—The Presi
dent is moving steadily and With all’
the speed that safety anti son ml judg
ment wurrunt in the collection of facts
touching the conditions that exist
upon the island of Cuba to-day. To
this end Mr. Culhoun is now in Pubs,
officially on another mission, but also
charged with the observation of the
conditions that prevail When he shnll
have reported to the President and the
la I ter shall have guthered what he re
gards as a sufficient store of informa
tion, based on facts that cannot In'
tp.ic.stioned, he will bo ready either to
take action himself or to suggest to
Congress such a course us these facts
may warrant, Meanwhile he has
under consideration the best means of
affording relief to American sufferers
ns a result of the condition on the
island, and it is said that he will send a
special message to Congress Monday,
dwelling upon the sufferings of
American* on the island and suggest
ing an appropriation by Congress for
their relief. The amount to be asked
will, it is declared, be about $.*0,000,
and the message will, it Is said, be
accompanied by consular report* as to
the suffering on the island.
Tlie cabinet met at 10 o'clock this
morning, tm hour earlier than usual,
to difeuss the Cuban situation Sec
retary Sherman brought over from the
■State department a bundle of docu
ments, presumably reports of Consul
General Gee, Assistant Secretary of
State Day arrived later with some ad
ditional papers. The Cuban situation
was gone over in detail as shown by
the latest reports from Otic island.
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
