him rando possible tho sceno enacted
to-day a sceno conceived and planned
by those vorv comrades in arms and
completed by their sons in peace.
"Major William Wnvne. president of
tho Cincinnati, who formally prosented
the monumuiit to tho city, traces his
llncuvo straight to "Mail" Anthony

Tho ceremonies propor began at

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S TRIBUTE.
Tho unveiling ceremony was Im
pressively simple lllshop Whittakor
opened with prnyor nnd Major Wayno
followed with an appropriate address.
Then camo the unveiling by President
McKinlcy, marked by the national sa
luto of twenty.ono gnns by the artil
lery and by tho foreign and American
war vessels in tho Dolawarc. This con
cluded, Prcsldont McKlnloy spoke as
follows:
"Fellow Citizens: There Is a pecu
liar nnd tender sentiment connected
with this memorial. It expresses not
only tho gratltudo and roverenco of
tho living, but is a testimonial of affec
tion nnd homage from the dead. Tho
comrades of Washington projected this
monument Their lovo inspired it.
Tholr contributions helped to build It.
Past and present share In its comple
tion and future generations will profit
by Us lessons. To participate 'in tho
dedication of such a monument is a
rare and precious privilege. Every
monument to Washington is a trlbuto
to patriotism. Evory shuft and statue
to his memory help to Inculcate lovo of
country) encourage loyalty and estab
lish a better citizenship. God blesses
ovory undertaking which revives pat
riotism and rebukes tho indifferent
and lawloss.
"A critical study of Washington's
career only enhances our estimation
of his vast and varied abilities. As
oommandcr-ln-chlcf of tho colonial ar
mies from tho beginning of tho war to
the proclamation of peace, as president
of the convention which framed the
constitution of tho United States, and
as tho first President of tho United
States under that constitution, Wash
ington has a distinction differing from
that of all other Illustrious Americans.
No other namo bears or can bear such
a relation" to the government. Not
only by his military genius his pa
tience, his sagacity, his courage and
hit skill was our national independ
ence won, but ho hoi pod In largest
measuro to draft the chart by which
the nation was guided, aud ho was the
first chosen of tho peoplo to put In mo
tion tho now government. Ills was
not the boldness of martial display or
tho charm of captivating oratory, but
his calm and steady judgment won
men's support and commanded their
confidence by appealing to tholr best
and noblest aspirations.
WASHINGTON'S CHARACTER.
"And withal Washington was ever
ao modest that at no tlmo In his career
did his personality seem In the least
intrusive. He was above the tempta
tions of power. Ho spurned the sug
gested crown. He would have no
honor which the people did not bo
stow. An interesting fact and one
which I lore to recall Is that the only
tlmo Washington formally addressod
the constitutional convention during
all its sessions over which ho presided
in this city ho appealed for a larger
representation of tho peoplo In tho
national House of Representatives,
and his appeal was Instantly heeded.
Thus ho was ever keenly watchful of
tho rights of the people in whoso
hands was tho destiny of our govern
ment then and now,
"Masterful as were his military
campaigns, his civil administration
commands equal admiration. His
foresight was marvelous, his concep
tion of the philosophy of government,
his inslstenco upon the necessity of
odncstlon, morality and onllghtenod
citizenship to tho progress and pormsv
nnnco of tho republic cannot bo con
templated even nt this period without
tilling us with astonishment at the
breadth of his comprehension and the
scope of his vision, nis was no nar
row view of government Tho Imme
diate present was not his solo concern,
but our futuro good his constant
theme of study. He blazed the path
of liberty. He laid the foundation
upon which we have grown from weak
and scattered colonial governments to
a united republic whose domains and
THE
power, as well as whoso liberty and
freedom hare become the admiration
of the world. Dlstauco and tlmo hava
not detracted from the fame and
forco of his achievements or diminished
tho grandeur of his life and work.
Great deeds do not stop in tholr
growth, nnd thoso of Washington will
expand In Iniluonco in all tho centuries
to follow.
BEQUEST TO CIVILIZATION.
"Tho bequest Washington has made
to civilization Is rich beyond computa
tion. Tho obligations under which he
has placed mankind arc sacred and
commanding. The responsibility he
has left for tho American peoplo to
prcservo and porfect what ho accom
plished Is exacting and solemn. Let
us rejolco In every new evidence that
tho peoplo realize what thoy enjoy nnd
cherish with affection tho illustrious
heroes of revolutionary story whoso
valor nnd sacrifices made us a nation.
Thoy llvo in us and their memory will
help us keep tho covenant enterod into
for the maintenance of the froost gov
ernment on oartlL
"The nation nnd the namo of Wash
ington are inseparable. One is linked
Indlssolnbly with the other. Both are
glorious, both triumphant Washing
ton lives and will llvo because of what
he did for tho exaltation of man, tho
enthronement of conscience and tho
establishment of a government which
recognizes ull tho governed. And so,
too, will tho nation llvo victorious over
all obstnelcs, adhering to the Immortal
principles which Washington taught
and Lincoln sustained."
Tho oration was dollvercd by Mr.
Porter. Tho formal presentation of
tho memorial by the socloty to tho
city was mado by Major Wayno to
Mayor Warwick, with short addresses
by both, and then the mayor trans
ferred It to the Falrmount park com
mission, which body exercises juris
diction over tho great pleasure ground.
Tho night was devoted to various
pliajcs of celebration apart from the
dinner to tho President. Tho wheel

Tho sultun has Instructed Edhom

St. Pktf.hiiuk(i, May in. Tho semi

This declur:.tlon may possibly be only
put forwurd as a foolea leading up to
a later intimation that Russia may not

GREAT SUFFERING IN CUBA
Coatnls Confirm the Wont Reports
Many Americans In Wont.
Wabiunoto.y, May 17. Secretary of
State Sherman has already begun to
receive answers from United States
consuls in Cuba In record to tho suffur-
ing of Americans In tho inland because
of General Woyler's ordors concenrtat
ing peoplo of tho disturbed sections in
tho towns. Thoso havo beon sent to tho
President at Philadelphia. All con
firm tho 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, but taking care not to
complicate this with any other ques
tion pertaining to tho revolution and
preserving the strict policy of neu
trality. One consul laid: "Thing are grow
In worse every day. If that merciful
country does not come to our aid, God
only knows how many persons will dlo
of starvation."
Tho consuls wcro especially In
structed to send lists of American suf
ferers and tho number of these will bo
Bent to Congress.
At the stato department It was sa'.d
this morning that tho number of na
tlvo nnd naturalized citizens on tho
island who nro legitimato objects for
tho aid of this country will nggrceato
several thousand. If this bo truo tho
proposed appropriation of 850,000
would not go very far in measures of
relief.
An American consul was so im
pressed by tho suffering which camo
under his observation dally that ho
recently sent a letter to the mayor of
the city, offering to contrlbuto 1.S00
loaves of bread for the starving. Tho
mayor waited several days, and then
sent a reply, oxnrcsslncr thank, hut.
pot accepting. It was evident that
tho mayor recognized the neori nml
wished to accept the contribution, but
was afraid to do so.
Senator Morgan said that tho mes-
sago of the Prcsldont, If It should ap
ply enly to relief measures In tho wov
of food and clothing, would not cause
him to deviate from his tiurnnsn of
pressing his resolution for tho recogni
tion of a state of war. as he had given
notlco he would do before if was as
(turned that tho Presldont would send
In such a message. The frlonds of tho
Morsran resolution will not antagonizo
measures contemplating temporary re
lief, but they are not disposed to ac
cept such measures In place of a moro
joneral and lor reaching declaration.
THE NEW YORK UNDER ORDERS.
New Yoiik, May 17. According to
tho Herald's Washington bureau.
orders have been sont to Roar Admiral
RIcard to havo his flagship, tho Now
York, ready to go to sea at a moment's
warning to-day, with coal to her full
capacity. Concerning tho flagship's
destination nothing can be learned
st the navy department, but
that its departure from oort has
ny bearing on tho Cuban cause
is donled by the secretary of the navy.
it nas, nowever, been suggested that
Consul General Leo has renewed his
request that a naval forco be kept
within a short distance of Havana for
tho protection of American citizens in
tli at city against mob violence. Thero
is no corroboration of this theory, but
tho belief among the navy officers Is
itrong that the New York Is to bo held
In completo readiness to go to Key
West at a moment's warning.
A MADRID PAPER QUITE RABID.
Madrid, May 17. Tho noraldo, re
ferring to tho possible action of tho
United States for tho relief of Ameri

srnmont will havo universal opinion
an its Bide if it acts with energy In re
polling American intcglircnco in Cu
ban affairs, but this S,lnlcn will be
hostile unless tho government ceases
making concessions. These displays
of weakness, if thoy do not increase
the difficulty of sohing the question,

Tho Correspondence announces thnt
tho reported Increase in tho strength
ol tho Spanish navy was decided upon
lu view of tho possibility of interna

Wabhinoton, May 18. After along
conference with Secretaries Sherman,
Gago, Alger and Long uud Attorney
General McICcnna, during which Sen
ator Davis, chairman of tho Senate
foreign relations committee, wn,s ad
mitted, the Presldont sent tho follow
Ing messago to Congress, which was
read at tho opening of the session of
ssch houso:
"To the Senato antl House of Repre
sentatives of tho United States: Ofti
dal Information from our consuls in
Cuba establishes the fact that n largo
number of American citizens In tho
island aro in a stato of destitution, suf
fering for want of food aud medicines.
This applies particularly to tho rural
districts of the central and eastern
parts.
"The agricultural classes havo been
forced from tholr farms Into tho near
est towns, whero they nro without
work or money. Tho local authorities
of tho several towns, however kindly
disposed, aro unable to relievo tho
needs of their own peoplo and aro
ultogothcr powerless to help our cit
izens. "The latest report of Consul General
Leo estimates that from six to eight
hundred Americans are without means
of support I have assured him that
provision would bo mado at onco to
relievo them.
"To that ond I rocommend that Con
gress inako an appropriation of not
less than 950,0D0, to bo immediately
available for uso under tho direction
of the secretary of state. It is desir
able that a part of tho sum which may
bo appropriated by Congress should,
in the discretion of tho sccrotnry of
state, also be used for the transporta
tion of American citizens who, desir
ing to return to tho United States, are
without means to do so.
"William McKislkv.
Before the Sonate met tho commit
tco on forolgn relations held a confer
ence and decided to report a resolu
tion carrying into effect tho Presi
dent's message in regard to Cuba.
After tho President's racssago had
been read the resolution Introduced by
Mr. Galllnger last Thursday, appro
priating 850,000 for tho rellof of desti
tute citizens of the United States In
Cuba, was prosented' with amend
ments. It provides for the expendi
ture of 950,000, under tho direction of
the President, in the purchase and
furnishing of food, olothing and medi
cines to auch citizens and for trans
porting to the United States such of
thorn aa so desire and are without
means to transport thomsolves.
Mr. Davis asked for immediate con
sideration of tho resolution and there
was no objection. Tho only speech
was that of Mr. Galllnger. He said
that ho had been impressed at tho mass
meeting attended by 3,000 people yes
terday with a statement mado by a
correspondent who had traveled
through tho stricken district of Cuba
that tho real trouble was that tho
Cubans woro herded in tho towns nnd
prevonted from going out to get the
food. The most effoctlvo rellof would
be a demand by tho Prcsldont and tho
government that the Cubans bo re
leased from their bondngo In tha towns
and permitted to go whoro thoy could
secure food.
Tho resolution was then passed
unanimously, thero being no response
to the call for tho nays. It had taken
exactly eighteen minutes for the read
ing of tho message, tho presentation
of the committee report, the brief
speech and the final passage of tho res
olution. In the house Mr. Hill of Illinois
asked for the immediate consideration
of a bill to appropriate 850,000 for the
relief of distressed Americans In Cuba,
but Mr. Bailoy of Texas said that he
must object, unless an amendment
embodying Senator Morgans resolu
tion for recognition of tho Insurgents
bo added. Mr. Dlngley objected to
tho amendment, whereupon Mr. Bailey
objected to the bill and the Cuban ques
tion was sidetracked.
The plan to send roliof to Cuba has
given rise to some objections. Some
senators and representatives believe
that the bulk of supplies would reach
persons other than those for whom In
tended. The difficulty of successfully
carrying out the schemo was prosonted
by Senator White thus: "This propo
sition to relievo suffering Americans
in Cuba presents some difficult ques
tions. It establishes a precedent and
we cannot bo too careful about em
barking on any totally new lino of
policy. There are some serious prac
tical difficulties presented by this prop
osition Are wo to go into a crowd of
a thousand starving people and pick
out tho few American cltlaens that
may be among them and give them
food and Bay to tho others: 'You may
die?' Are we to say to Consul General
Lee: 'Mr. Consul General, whatever
vou do. do not give a morsel of food to
a starving Cuban or a starving apan-
lard?' Where are wo to draw tho line
in the distribution of suppllo3? It
is a difficult matter to deal with."
Senator Mills, who is one of the
most ardont advocates of Cuban Inde
pendence and intervention on the part
of tho United States, believes It to bo
tho right and duty of this government
the ground that it is morally responsi
ble for tho condition of affairs that
exists there. "Hut for tho action of
this government," said he, "the people
of Cuba would to-day enjoy good gov
ernment The advocates of Cuban in
dependence will not be satisfied with
providing temporary relief for Ameri
can residents In Cuba, and will persist
in their advocaoy of active interven
tion by this government to tcrmlnato
the insurrection,"
TURKEY'S DEMAND 3EVERE
Tliriealy and fifty Million Uollart Sal
tan's I'rlre of Trace.
CoNSTAjrmor-LK, May IS. Th oporto
has replied officially to tho noto of the
powers, and declines to agrco to an
armlstlco until tho following condi
tions aro accepted!
The annexation of Thessaly, an in
demnity of 9N,000,000 and the aboli
tion of tho capitulations.
The porte proposes that plenipoten
tiaries of the power should meet at
Pharsalos to dissuse tho terms oj
peace, and declares that if theso con
ditions are declined, tho Turkish army
will continuo to advance.
Tho demand for tho annexation ol
Thessaly is based npon tho fact that
tho province was originally ceded to
Greece, on the advice of the powers,
with the object of ending brigandage
and Greok incursions Into Ottoman
territory, the porte believing at this
tlmo that tho ecsslon would attain
theso objects, but the recent incur
sions of Greek bands and tho events
immediately preceding tho war havo
proved to tho contrary. This is- tho
substance of the reply.
Tho ambassadors mot to-day to-consider
tho porto's answer, which is- re
garded as raising an extromoly gravo
issue. It Is believed that repre
sentations will bo mado to tho sultan
personally to induce a modification of
theso terms, but It Is foreseen that this
will bo very difficult owing to tho nt
tltudo ot the powerful old Turk war
party.
If tho porta should provo obdurate a
European conference is not Improba
ble, although at present Russia is op
posed to1 this.
It is regarded as quite cortain that
tho powers will not consent to a retro
cession of Thessaly. Even Germany Is
boliovod to be rcsoluto on this point,
becauso it would involve a violation of
the Berlin treaty aud imperil the peaco
of tho Balkans.
London, May 18. The Times' corre
spondent at Athens says:
"To-day M. Rail!, tho prcmior, vis
ited tho various legations and obtained
assurances thnt the powers would
undortako to provent any offensive ac
tion on tho part of tho Turks, provid
ing tho Greek forces maintained a
strictly dofensive attltudo. On this
understanding, ho Immediately wired
to the commanders of tho three Greek
divisions at Domokos, Sourpl and
Arta, instructing thorn to abstain from
all hostile action unless attacked by
tho enemy.
Athens, Mayl. Tho Greek army
in Eplrus has beon compelled to fall
back upon Arta, but continues to oc
cupy a few positions boyond the bridgo.
Tho Greek losses at Crlboro were 558
killed and wounded, thlrty-threo be
ing officers. It is stated that the gov
ernment has ordered tho forces In
Thessaly and Epirus to remain strict
ly on the defensive.
This morning 30,000 Turks woro In
sight of Domokos, and shortly after
noon the battle began.
LAnuiHSA, May 18. Edhem Pasha's
plnns for the capture of Domokos are
being rapidly perfected. Reinforce
ments nro arriving and all tho Greek
positions are carefully watched. The
bad condition of tho roads and the
heavy rains delay tho operations for
which tho Turkish officers aro anx
lusly waiting, but a general advanco
began at dawn.
A number of Greek desorters who
havo been captured say that 25,000
Greeks are behind the fortifications
and. intrenchments at Domokos, but
that the wholo organization Is rotton
and tho medical and transport .ser
vices havo completely collapsed. They
say that for thirty-six hours tho only
ration was a half loaf, and that tho
forces are becoming demoralized and
are deserting by the wholesale.
St. PETKiisnuno, May 18. Tho news
papers of this city protest vigorously
against tho "excessive and unaccept
able" conditions which Turkey de
mands as tho prlco of peaco with
Greece. They declare that If Turkey
Insists upon them, Europe will bo
obliged to abandon mediation.
Tho Novoe Vremya soys that in tho
event of Turkey's insistence upon the
terms sho has presented tho powers
will hnvo to take practical measures
to "preserve Greece from tho preten
sions which threaten her national ex
istence." SANTA FE TRAIN WRECKED

material for making soup): coffeo,
roasted and ground, two ounces, or
tea, ono-half ounce; saccharine, four
grains; salt, sixty-four-hundredths of
in ounce; pepper, four-tenths of an
3unco; tobacco, ono-half ounce.
In order to test this allowance, Cap
tain W. C Brown, who was a member
of the ration board, marched his troop
of cavalry out of Fort Sill, I. T., a
week ago with nothing but the emer
gency ration for ten days. The orders
wcro to march duo west from Fort Sill
for five days and then march back
again. Captain Brown has not been
