OfSolal Statement from the National Relief ommlttee. New Yoek, Jan. 15. The following official statement has been issued from the headquarters of the National Ar menian relief committee: The reported intention of the Turkish gov ernment to refuse the American and Red Cross society permission to entar Turkey, will not cause the National Armenian relief commit tee and its branches throughout the eountry to relax their efforts for an instant in raising funds to gave the S0,009 Armenians who art perishing from starvation and ex posure. The national committee is tht authoriied agent throughout the coun try for raising funia and suppll to b distributed by tha Red Cross, provided it enter the Held, bnt in case the Red Cross is eicluded, the national committee has authority to eier else existing agencies on the ground to organ ise new ones, so that all contributors may te assured th.a$ their gifts will as speedily as pos sible reach the sufferers for whom they are ia tended. Many are not aware of the fact that reHe! work to the extent of not loss than 4100.000 hat already beon carried out in Turkey daring th past tureo months, under the direction of a strong and representative commit tee of forelga residents and - diplomats in Constantinople, the European consuls and the Americans who are found to be In all the principal cities of the interior.

Meanwhile all funds should continue to be sent to Metrs. ErownBroa. &Co.,59 Wall street, treasurers ef the national Armenian relief committee, SPE5CBE TBASK, Chairman of the Executive Committee.

Mr. Hildebrandt k a sufferer from cancer, and is now under treatment in a Kan sas City hospital. Mrs. Hildebrandt, it is supposed, became despondent, and possibly insane, because of her hus band's illness, and her inability to pro vide for the family. The poison which caused the death of the children was administered with the morning meal Shortly after they had finished breakfast all of the chil dren were taken ill and in a short time four of them were dead.

She took a dose of poison at tne same tune that she gave it to her children, but it failed to cause her death. H is generally believed that since Mr. Hildebrandt has been ia Kansas City the family has suffered for the ne cessities of life. It was almost desti tute when he left. ANOTHFR CLEVELAND KTORY.

The question where the subscribers are to get the gold with which to psy for their bonds Js still & mooted one with bankers, and no conclusion ap pears to have been arrived tt on the subject Optimistic persons ia bank ing and financial circles say that tho gold for the bonds would be forthcom ing from somewhere; that, of course, some of it, perhaps half, would be withdrawn from the treasury, acd that If any stringency in the money market resulted by reason of the floating of the loan, the country would get ever it, as it had over the other stringent peri ods; that the evil would correct itself, and that if anybody suffered they would be principally stock epcculatcrs, and not the merchants aad manufac turers.
