"Washington, May 17. In considering ways and means of affording substan tial relief to such American citizens In Cuba as are in real distress owing to the war, the administration has hit up on a plan which may be put In opera tion if it is sanctioned by the united Judgment of the United States consular officers in Cuba, who being on the ground, are supposed to be best quali fied to judge of the efficiency of the pio posedrelief measures. This plan is u give notice through the American con suls to all American citizens in Cuba, that the government will undertal: - t' remove them from the island t th? United States If they so desire. T this will require action by congress : d.j I . ' t nece?sarily a specific authoiiziitlo' removal, but merely the limihitl i: ' the appropriation to the general of one for the relief of Ams-ri-.;n ".'.! zona in Cuba. io-Hit l.lttle Further. A course similar to this was adopted with more or less benefit in China dur ing the rioting incident to tho Chlmse Japanese war and during the Armenian troubles. Mr. Terrell, the United Stalls minister, was authorized to undertake the conveyance of American citizens to the coast cities where thy might have suitable protection. The proposition as to Cuba goes a little further than the measures adopted in the cast? of China or Turkey, in that it contemplates the removal of the Americans from the isl and entirely. Probably the reason for this is the belief, founded on reports from United States Consul General Lee and other United States consular offi cers, that the war has so thoroughly exhausted the agricultural resources of the Island that it will be a long time before it will be again in condition to r-iintaln its population, and meanwhile l. merlcans who are dependent up on roll for their livelihood will suf fer. SiilVv ring t an He Itelleved. The consequent suffering can be re lieved by the government furnishing the unfortunates supplies and medicines, but General Lee takes the view that this relief must be continued probably for a ong,tln. The proposed American ex odus from Cuba must be purely volun tary and it is not even proposcu io present the alternative of denying sup plies if destitute Americans refuse ro leave the island. It Is simply purposed to give them an opportunity to leave the island if they believe they can better their condition in the United States. It is the belief of General Lee that many persons will avail themselves of such an opportunity and It is possible that his views will be adopted by the presi dent. Figures are not obtainable as to the number of American citizens in Cuba who are In actual distress and In need of food or clothing as the result of Weyler's order bringing them into the towns. The state department Is now in correspondence with Its consuls by telegraph, seeking to get this In formation as the basis for any message the president may send to congress on the subject of relief. But so far as offi cially known to the department through the reports of the consuls made up to this time, the number of Americans In this condition Is between l."0 and 200. Not Worker of the Soil. In explanation of this small number, It is said that most of the Americans, natives, living In Cuba are employed In the higher branches of Industries or professions and are not actual workers of the soil. The sufferers are mostly naturalized citizens, holding small par cels of ground upon which they have depended heretofore for livelihood. It Is not doubted that there are more of this class In need than are yet known to the department, but It hoped In the course of a few days to have a fairly accurate census of them. The agencies to be used to relieve these people are the United States consuls in Cuba, and It ran h stated that theSpanlsh govern- ,t thrmiPh Its minister here, so far from opposing the exercise of such v,-iaiA nftlces bv the consuls, has rmfpsspd Us readiness to assist in eV v In the distribution cf rfiipf. which is taken to mean that it ..til trnoranlpii S.'l f? conduct for the transporting of parties overjhe Island.

Woman II orue whipped Whil Fudeavor luy to Secure Her Child. St. Louis. May 17. A Ftalwart man with a bufcgy whip, slashing a hand some young woman dressed In a styl ish silk dress and from whose ears bright diamonds sparkled, and a gray haired woman urging the man to lay on the whip, was the tight which shocked the aristocratic neighbors around 4466 McPherson avenue Friday. The woman w ho was being mercilessly llayed Jerked from her dress pocket a pistol, and as the snapped it In her assailant's face he turned and ran. The pistol hung fire, however, and the man again pounced upon his fair victim. The principals in this exciting affair were Lizzie Kvans of De llodiamont; her aged mother, Mrs. Catherine Still man, and her coachman, Mark Williams. The place was in the front yard of the palatial residence of Mrs. Stlllman. An hour later, when Mrs. Kvans applied for a warrant against her mother and Will iams, she paid: "I permitted my daughter. Florence, 14 years old, to go to my mother to live and we have always had trouble about It I heard that my mother was abus ing Florence and making her do the work of a servant, while she had a house full cf help. I armed myself with a revolver and drove In a piaeton to my mother's home to get my daughter. Florence, who had been locked In a room In the house, broke out while Williams was beating me and came to my assist ance. While she and I were defending ourselves against Williams and my mother, niv husband came down the road In a buggy. Seeing his approach Williams and my mother retreated into the house, and locked and barred all tho doors." Mrs. Kvans daughter is by a former husband and her marriage to Kvans was strenuously obieoted to by her mother, who took the girl to educate THIRTY DAYS OF PUMPING. I.eadvllle MIiich To lie Iteopeiied and Strlk ei-M Permitted to Iteturn. Leadville, Col., May 17. An agree ment havingbeen reached among the owners of the minclnal mines In the down-town district to resume pumping, which was stopped last winter while the strike was on, the work of unwater Ing will be begun' next week. The ar rangements for pumping, which will go into effect at once, will result In the employment of from 1.000 to 1..100 men with a strong probability that the num ber will reach 2.000 within the next Fix months. It is estimated by some of the mine owners that It will require thirty days of pumping before any men can be put to wotk. It Is thought that by Aug. 10 the up per levels of the working mines will be sufficiently dry to permit the introduc tion of men, and from that time on men will be continually added to the work'.r? forcv' until all the properties are In lull operation. It is thought that many of the properties have been seriously dam aged, though it is believed that many repairs will be necessary on account of the swelling and crushing of the timbers occasknpd by the extra weight of the water. There is a general feeling among the mine owners that the definite settle ment of the pumping question, now prac tically accomplished, is the first step to ward developing a territory which is believed to be one of the richest in the Leadville district. More than 3.000 acres are included within the boundaries. LIBERAL PRESS FURIOUS. Sultan' Plan To He lteprenented at yueen'n Jubilee I Pencilled. London, May 17.

PtirpoKe of Year CoiiHiiiiimated. The purpose of years, evolved by a handful of warriors to do honor to their chieftain and carried through crosses and adversity by their descendants was consummated. Hut the consummation was beyond the brightest dreams of those first few war-stained Americans. The Union w hich they formed has grown to a mighty organization whose mem bership stretches from ocean to ocean, under the rame of the Society of the Cincinnati, while the magnificence of the memorial Itself, reared at the gate way of the greatest park and In the most Intensely American city of the land, far surpassed their highest hopes. It was a notable gathering and represen tative of the country, including the pres ident, vice president, and the cabinet officers; Its defenders In the officers and privates of the army and navy, and Its best blood, in the direct descendants of the molders and makers of the nation. motoric Interest Not WantliiK. Major William Wayne, president of the Cincinnati, who formally presented the monument to the city, traces his lineage straight to Mad Anthony, and William W. Porter, the orator of the day, is a grandson of David Rittenhouse Porter, twice governor of Pennsylvania, and a great grandson of General An drew Porter, who was on Washington s staff In the revolution. Thus, no his toric Interest was wanting to stimulate enthusiasm. The actual unveiling cer emony was Impressively simple. Bish op Whitaker opened with prayer, and Major Wayne followed with an appro priate address. Then came the unveil ing by President McKinley and the re sultant clamor, augmented by the na tional salute of twenty-one guns by the artillery and by the foreign and Ameri can war vessels in the Delaware. Thi9 concluded. President McKinley spoke briefly. The oration was then delivered by Mr. Porter. Formal Presentation. The formal presentation of the me morial by the society to the city was made by Major Wayne to Mayor War wick, with short addresses by both, and then the mayor transferred It to the Fairmount park commission, which body exercises Jurisdiction over the great pleasure ground. President Mc Kinley and his distinguished compan ions reveiewed the military parade, and the crowd, while not looking at troops, reviewed the president and his party. The night was devoted to various phases of celebration, apart from th dinner. The wheelmen's parade, with nearly twenty thousand in line, was the principal .feature. Illuminations from the monument, the city hall, the Union League and other points added to the brilliancy of the Jubilee and closed the day in a veritable blaze of glory. At sunrise Saturday morning the boom of cannon from the batteries of th United States troops camped in Fairmount park, aroused the city to the pitatest day In Its history. It was not long after that steady streams of people began to flow along every by-way lead ing to the Green street entrance to the park where the monument stands. Decoration Were I.avWh. In spite of the heavy downpour of Friday night the day broke under clear skies. The decorations throughout the city were lavish, but, of course, the greater labor and attention had been devoted to the hotels- which sheltered the Washington dignltsries. Hoth the Hotel Walton, where the president and neveral members of the cabinet were housed, and the Lafayette, which enter tained the vice presidential parties, were literally swathed In flags and bunting. The archways of the vast city hall, a few blocks away, were liberally clothed In the trl-color, and Chestnut street was a fluttering mass of red, white and blue. Stand w en erected all along the llrs of mirch. The ceremonies proper began at noon, when the parade moved from Droad and Spruce streets, under command of Major General Snowden, and at the park It passed In review be fore lhe president. MYSTERIOUS KILLING. Grand ltapldii Man Found Dead on the Street of Milwaukee. Milwaukee. May 17. The body of N. B. Clark of Grand Rapids, Mien., a member of the Michigan Hank and Lumber company, was found on one or the residence streets along the lake shore Saturday morning, 'inere were two bullet wounds and a revolver was found at his side. Diamonds and Jew elry were found on his person, but no money. The location of the wounds makes It rather doubtful whether It is a case of suicide. When Clark left his hotel Friday evening he said he was going for a walk. He was 50 years om. It is believed that Clark was the vic tim of thugs, as one of the bullets en tered him back, and his own revolver has been found In his valise. The Ma sonic fraternity, of which Clark was a popular member, will probe the mystery to the bottom and bring the murderer to Justice if possible. The body was found in the rear of the Ivanhoe flats, an apartment building near the North western depot. Mr. Clark was known in Milwaukee as the "llatk King" of Mich igan, and furnished the tanners here with large amcunts of bark.
