WASHINGTON , May 15. In considering
ho ways and means of affording relief to
uch American citizens In Cuba as nro In
real distress owing : to the war , the admlnls-
ratloti has hit upon n plan which may be
put In operation If It Is sanctioned by the
united judgment of the United States consuls
nil officers In Cuba , who , being on the
ground , are supposed to bo best qualified to
udgo of the efficiency of proposed relief
ncaaurcs. This plan Is to glvo notice
hrougu the American consuls to all Ameri
can citizens Iu Cuba that the government
vlll undertake to remove them from the
Bland to the United States It they BO desire.
To do this will require action by congress ,
not necessarily a specific authorization of the
removal , but merely the limitation of the
appropriation to the general terms of otic
or the relief of Amcrlcin citizens In Cuba
V coiirs ? similar to this was adopted with
nero or lew benefit In China during the rlot-
ng Incident to the Chinese-Japanese war ,
and during the Armenian troubles. Mr. Tor-
'oll , the United States minister , was author-
zed to undertake the conveyance of Ameri
can citizens to he coast cities , where they
night have sultu Me protection.
The iiroposltlr i as to Cuba goes a little
urthor than the measures adopted In the
case of China or Turkey , In that It content-
ilatea | Jio removal of the Americans from the
'stand entirely. Probably the reason for thla
s the belief , founded on reports from United
Hates Consul General Lee and other
Jnltcd States consular officers , that
ho war has vo thoroughly ex-
minted the agricultural resources ol
he Island that It will be n long time be
fore It will ho again In condition to main-
din Its population , and meanwhile the Atner-
cana who nro dependent upon the soil for
heir livelihood will suffer
LEAVING NOT COMPULSORY.
The consequent suffering can bo relieved by
the government's furnishing the unfortunates
supplies and medicines , but General Leo
nhes the A lew that this relief tnu-'t bo con
tinued probably for a long time. The pro
posed American exodus from Cuba must be
uiroly voluntary , and It Is not even pro-
wed to present the alternative of denjlng
uppllea if destitute Americans rc'use to leave
.bo Island. It Is simply purposed to give
.hem an opportunity to leave the Island It
.ho > bcllove they can better their condltloi
n the United States. H Is the belief of Gen.
oral Lee that many persons will avail them
selves of such an opportunity and It Is possi
ble that his view will bo adopted by the
; ) iesldcnt.
Kigutes are not obtainable as to the num-
jer of American citizens In Cuba who arc
in actual dlstr < . & 3 and In need of food or
clothing , ns the tcsult of Wejlcr's order
jilnglng them Into the tovvna. The State
department Is now In corrcspomlencs with
: he consuls by telegraph seeking to get this
nformatlon as the basU for any message
the president may send to congrem on the
subject of relief. But so far as officially
known to the department , through the re
ports of the consuls made up to this time ,
.ho number of Americans In this condition Is
between 150 and 200. In explanation of thh
small number , It Is said that most of the
Americans , natives , living In Cuba , are em-
plojed In the higher branches of trade ot
iirofessions and are not In actual want ,
Most of the sufferers arc citizens holding
small parcels of ground upon which they
liave depended heretofore for a livelihood ,
It Is not doubted that there are more of this
class in need that are not yet Known to the
department , but It Is hoped In the course ol
a fevv days to have a fairly accurate census
of them The agencies to be used to relieve
those people are the United States consuls Iti
Cuba , and It can he stated that the Spanlsli
overnment , through its minister here , FC
Jar from opposing the exorcise of such chari
table offices by the consuls , has profebsod iff
reartlnc&s to assist In every proper way Ir
the distribution of relief , which Is taken tc
mean that It will guarantee safe conduct foi
the transporting of parties over the Island.

WASHINGTON' , May 15. ( Special. ) Tin
American Chicory company and the Gemmr
Chicory company of Omaha have presentee
to the finance committee of the ecnato i
brief of argument for a duty of at least 1
cent per pound upon chlcoiy root , raw. drlei

certain manufacturing Interebls nro endeav

bo made to Buffer a tariff Import. The bile
answcri. this directly , first showing tha
chicory can bo successfully raised in tin
United States anil then that "raw or undricc
chicory cannot bo Imported , for the rcusoi
that its weight , bulk and tendency to de
structlon fiom natural causes make tlio 1m
portaflon too expensive , uncertain and rlskj
to justify the attempt " The dried , but tin
ground and unrnasted root has alread'
passed through the most expenslv0 s'agc o
manufacture , the Kiln drying , which procet :
Inrlude-b CO per cent of ( ho entire cost o

ufaLtiucrs that the proposed Import duty 01

It Is a question of fair competition hetwuci

hlcory and coffee substitutes on the basis
of 2 cents per pound for chicory and
l'/i cents per pound for coffee substi
tutes , the aggregate of which revenue was
: he sum of $41,38238. If coffee hiibstltutea
Mad been on the 2 cents per pound basis , this
revenue would have been increased $11,693.40.
'It thus appears that a duty of 1 cent per
pound on dried chicory and 2 cents per
[ lound on manufactured chicory and coffee
substitutes would have produced In 1S9C
$211 47539 , an Increase over the actual reve
nue under the Wilson bill la 1890 of $170-

"This proposition has been demotifitratcil
licyond reasonable controversy It applies
especially to the states of Nebraska , North

everything In reason should be done to de

to improve his condition by profitable labor
Further It glcs additional employment U

of manufacture will bo fully built anil
