Owing to the rumor that garments
were not wanted by the National Red
Cross, The Globe sought information
from the central committee for the as
surance of the St. Paul Red Cross Aid
society and received ln reply a dis
patch affirming the necessity of cloth
ing for the relief work. Reference was
also made to a letter of specific infor
mation then on the way. The com

ceived last night and is published this
morning for the encouragement of the
Red Cro.s workers.

Cubans are keenly appreciated:
Translation of a document presented to the
American National Red Cross by a number of
physicians delegated for that purpose from
i the various hospitals in Cuba, before the do-
I pa If ure ° r lhe President, Clara Barton:
The physicians who have signed this docu
j ment, ln desiring to show their gratitude, can-
I not find words in the Spanish or any other
language to sufficiently express their thanks
for the inexhaustible charity and sublimity
of your undertaking.
Everywhere and wherever you have been in
our unfortunate country, you have dispensed
this good. You have dried many tears and
have saved many human beings from death,
lour honored president. Clara Barton, was
not satisfied with that, but with the co-opera
i tion of the learned Dr. Lesser, one of your
j representatives, she formed hospitals, dispen
saries, and an asylum for orphans, where all
are attended with the greatest care by sa'.d
! Dr. Lesser, assisted by the good and
! Intelligent Mrs. Lesser, who is tho angel cf
j consolation within the walls into which the.so
| sufferers are gathered. We do not wish to re-
I late every one of the many benefits resulting
i from your generosity, but we cannot refrain
: from making special mention of the splendid
! and able manner ln which you give aid to tho
j hospitals on this island, in which the needy
concentradoß find shelter, and where you have
j given them clothing, medicine and food; thus
I making their recovery possible. In the consul-
I tations at the Cervo and Fosos. we have wit
. Ness-ed the new study of malarial and famine
diseases made by Dr. Lesser, and we con
gratulate you on the novelty and success of
his investigations, as well as th* Hon. Clara
; Barton on the wise selection which she made
' in him to help in such an arduous undertak
j ing. To this beneficent association, to Miss
Clara Barlon and to Dr. Lesser, and to all
her staff, wo extend the most cordial expres
; slon of our thankfulness, ar.d assure you that
your names will never be erased from tho
j hearts of all these who love this unfortunate
I country. Please accept these our sentiments
j as a small offering In confirmation of your
: just title and our admiration for you all.
Havana, March 25. 1898.
; (L. S.) Signed by tw?nty-one physicians
| and bearing the seal of United States Con
sulate General In Havana.
In the interest of the movement to
i waid a Minne-ota Red Cross federation
j the following sketch of the national
j and International structure of the Red
Cross is printed:
In October, 1863, a conference was
he'd at Geneva, Switzer:and, to »h:ch
all nations of the world had b:en in
vited by the Swiss government. It
was attended by duly authorized re
presentatives of sixteen nations.
The object of the conference was to
formulate an 1 adept a general plan
f;r the amelioration of the suffering of i
the sick and wounded in war.
The following is a summary of the
[most important of the artie'es adipted
by the confer nc» and their subsiquent
amendments:
In every country which has sign d
the Red Cross treaty there is a civil
Red Cross organization known as the
National Red Cross, whose duty it is
ln time of war to co-operat? by all the
means in its power with the sanitary j
service of the army, when calUd upon. !
Auxiliaries unlimited in number may j
be formed In order to second and as- }
sist the National organization under ',
whose auspics th y may car.y on their ,
various functions. The general direc- j
tion be'ongs to the National organiza- j
j tion, which is the only one recognized
Lby its own and the other treaty gov*
| ernments.
Auxiliaries may organize ln such
I manner as may be most desirable, but
[ they must not engage in aay work of
relief, either in time of peace or war,
| except by request and under the direc
tion of the National committee.
In the time of peace the National
Red Cross orgar.i ations and their aux
iliaries are occupied with the msans to
make themselves useful in time of war
or calamity, especially in preparing aid
of every kind and instructing a volun
teer service of physicians, nurses and
other attendants for the ev.nt of war.
The Civil National Red Cross of the
belligerent nations shall furnish relief
TO THEIR RESPECTIVE ARMIES
in proportion to their resources; in par
ticular they shall organize and place
the volunteer service on an active foot
ing, and in conjunction with the mili
tary authority they shall arrange
places for the reception of the wound
ed; they shall solicit the assistance of
National Red Cross organizations be
longing to neutral nations.
On demand or with the concurrence
of the mil tary authorities, the national
organizations shall send their volunteer
corps to the field of battle and shall
place them under the direction of the
military chief. The volunteer service
employed with such armies shall bt
pj-ovided with everything nece.-sary for
their maintenance by their respective
national associat'on which is supported
by the auxiliaries.
They shall in all countries wear
around the arm a white band with a
red cross upon it as a distinctive and
uniform badge. The badge or brass
ard must bear the vizee of the duly
authorized military officer as a guar
anty of its right to recognition.
The exchange of communications be
tween the national organizations of the j
, various nations shall be made provis
ionally through the medium of the in
ternational committee of the Red
Cross which sits at Geneva, Switzer
land.
The United States gave its adhesion
to the Red Cross treaty by act of con- j
gress in March, 1882.
An amendment proposed by Clara
Barton, who was delegated by the |
United States to attend the quadren- !
nial conferences, was accepted under
the title of "The American Amend
ment." It provides for the extension
of Red Cross work to the relief of
suffering by war, pestilence, famine,
flood, fire and other calamities of suf
ficient magnitude to be deemed nation
al in extent.
It will thus be understood that the
Geneva conference of 1869 provided for
the existence and government of civil
Red Cross organizations to aid and
supplement the medical service of the
armies, while the convention of 1864
formally acknowledged the neutrality
of hospital work and non-combatants
in time of war, and adopted the Red
Cross upon the white field as the dis
tinctive badge of such neutrality, the .
Red Cross flag thereby becoming the
hospital flag of every Red Cross treaty
nation.
One of the basic principles underly
ing the plan of neutral work, now
known as the "Red Cross," was the
concentration of civil assistance in one
national organization which should
give direction to the
WORK OF AUXILIARIES
(unlimited in number) and which should
be the one medium of communication
with, and responsibility to, the army
and navy of its country.
In order that those who are con
tinually and actively engaged ln the
various departments of the civil Red
Cross may well be prepared arid fitted
for every emergency, a perfect mili
tary system has been adopted. Thus,
every person actively engaged in Red
Cross service preparatory to and in
the field of calamity, shall receive his
rank from the proper authorities and
serve in that capacity under simi'ar
rules and terms as the military service
of that nation.
The passive members, however, shall
THE ST. PAUI, GLOBE FRIDAY MAY 27, 1898,
select and elect their officers in passive
service according to the rules of the
various auxiliary associations.
Members of the Civil Red Cross corps,
whose services may be accepted by the
military authorities on the field of bat
tle, become the same as duly enlisted
members of the medical department of
the army, and are absolutely under the
control of the military authorities. This
is another evidence of the plan of con
centration of authority for the purpose
of securing ttie most beneficial results
by concerted action through one source
of direction.
An appeal from the American nation
al Red Cross committee.
The appeal, which is subjoined, was
sent for publication to The Globe by
the secretary of the Red Cross execu
| tlve committee.
! "For the purpose of properly systematiz
' Ing the benevolent impulses of the general
I public, and of giving proper direction for et
: flcient Rt'd Cross work, the committee so
licits the co-operation of individuals and
\ auxiliary associations throughout the coun
; try, confident that through such means the
J various funds and articles collected can most
; safely and most directly reach their ultimate
I destination.
j "It is probable, if the war continues, that
! a large amount of money will ba nee.cd,
I and the committee desires to make its ar
rangements accordingly, and, in view of the
uncertainty as to th»s. if contributors so
] elect, all sums Exceeding .$250 may be paid
I in such pro rata installments as' the con-
I tinuance and exigencies of the war mny de-
I mand.

The work of the St ; Paul Red Cross
Aid society is now well under way.
With the federation of their forces, the
other Red Cross societies in view, and
branch organiaztions perfected in West
St. Paul, and by the Young Women's
Friendly association, to say nothing
of the various auxiliary societies in the
churches, they have a most efficient
working organization.
The heat, perhaps, was responsible
for the falling off in the number of
women offering their means and serv
ices. Many of them, however, took
articles home, instead of putting in
their time at the headquarters.
The following ladies assisted yester
j day: Mrs. Wilbur H. Howard, Miss
| Sargent, Mrs. A. P. Jones. Mrs. J. D.
I Bond, Mrs. Charles Secombe, Mrs. E.
i C. Dougan, Mrs. J. Kelliher, Mrs. Sam

; needlework.
Mrs. F. P. Wright and Mrs. J. D.
O'Brien will be in charge today.
The following contributions were re

Mrs. Thomas Cochran— Ten bottles grape

Mrs. A. Whitmen — Old linen.
Mrs. N. F. Herbert— Old linen.
Mrs. W. R. Wood— Old linen.
Mrs. W. C. Civert— Old linen.
Mrs. Kellogg— s2.
Mrs. C. J. Whellams— so cents.
A movement is on foot to look to pro
vide for the comfort of troops passing
through St. Paul in the future. Under
the last call of President McKinley
for 75,000 troops, many will pass
through the city, and it is proposed to
have lunches, consisting of sandwiches
| and coffee, waiting for the soldiers
I when they arrive in St. Paul. The idea
originated with Maj. Espy, who ap
proached the women on the subject,
and they agreed that no better work
could be undertaken. Arrangements
will be made within the next few days
to carry out the idea.
Maj. Espy also championed another
idea, which found favor with the Red
Cross workers. He proposed that the
hospital at Fort Snelling be put in or
der, and that all soldiers taken sick
on the road be accommodated there
until well enough to join their regi
ments.
The society will plan further depart
ures in the future from the original
idea of confining its operations to mak
i ing bedding and supplies for the hos
pital corps.
A letter was received from the prin
cipal of Franklin school stating that
an auxiliary society had been formed
among the pupils of the school, and
that some substantial results would
I materialize soon.
' A proposition was made yesterday
by Henry De Lorme, volunteering to
give an opera for the benefit of the Red
Cross work, if the society would de
fray the expenses. Mr. De Lorme's
offer was considered most liberal by
the women, but it is quite probable
that the offer of the Schubert club will
be accepted, inasmuch as no expense
will be entailed, and that it was the
first to be made the society.
The committee having charge of the
design for the Cuban dress are mak
ing considerable progress with the pat
terns. Enough of these patterns will
be made to enable the ladies to take
them home.
Tickets for the entertainment to be
given by the German-American society
are meeting with a rapid sale, and it
is expected that Mozart hall will be
crowded on Monday night.
The women of the Red Cross Aid so
ciety requested The Globe to make
a special appeal to the women of St.
Paul for material, as their supply is
almost exhausted.

Chief Schweitzer Is securing additional evi
dence daily against Marcus Thompson, the
young man arrested for alleged stealing and
swindling operations, under the guis? of a
vender of furniture polish. Thompson was
yesterday held to the grand jury on two
counts of larceny, and a third charge, that
of stealing from the home of Mrs. Louis
Blume, living in the Euclid flats, was lodged
against him.
It is charged that the young man called
at the flat April 12, under the pretense of sel
ling furniture polish, and carried off several
articles <ff Jewelry and a pin tray. The stolen
property was identified among the miscellane
ous collection found in the chimney at Thomp

So many Imperfect and misleading charts
of the ocean cables In ,the Gulf of Mex:o
and Caribbean sea have been printed Ihat
the public cannot fail to be interest- d ln the
accompanying chart. The present inteiest
in this cable system grows out of Ihe rectnt
attempts of the United States fleets io cut off
telegraphic communication between Bli nco
and Madrid. This communication is by
overland telegraph from Havana to Ba'atano,
on the south coast, and from there by cibU
to Cienfuegos, and from there to Santiaso.
From Santiago tho communication is by cab c
to Jamaica on the south and Hayti on the
east. From Jamaica and Hayti cables run
all over the world. It is clear that it would
answer the purpose to cut the cables a:
Batabano, at Cienfuegos or at Santiago, but
evidently the work could have been «asler
accomplished at Santiago, which is rot neariy
so well defended as the other paints. Never
theless the first attempt was made at Cien
fugoes, and gave occasion for some o" the
finest gallantry Imaginable. But after all the
work was not completely accomplished. From
Cienfugos there is not only a double cab.c
the applications for twelve transfers
were denied. The position taken by
both the corporation attorney and the
attorney general is that a license to sell
or traffic in intoxicating liquors is per
sonal to the holder .and cannot be dele
gated or assigned, nor committed to
the care of a receiver by the courts.

The application for a license for
"Mayor" Griffin's saloon, 33 East Sev
enth street, made in the name of
Charles A. Rysdale, was denied by a
vote of five to four, ln the face of a
favorable recommendation from the
license committee.
Assemblyman Daly moved that the
license be granted. He said that Alder
man Donahower had a petition from
the merchants atwjut Griffin's place fav
oring the granting of- the license and
stated that there were no objections to
be urged by the license committee.
Assemblymen Albrecht, Dix, Thomp
son, Larson and Craig* voted against
the license, while Assemblymen Daly,
Reardon, Kirke and Johnson voted for
it.
Four regular applications were grant
ed. City Treasurer Horst petitioned
the assembly for official sanction to a
change in the bond of the city treas
urer, asking that he be allowed to
offer the bond of a security company
instead of a personal bond. The city
treasurer proposes to have the differ
ent surety companies bid against each
other for the privilege of going his bond
and wants the premiums paid out of
the nmyor's contingent fund. The
premiums on the $500,000 bond for two
years will amount to about $1,750.
In sOpport of his request Mr Horst
set forth that the past custom of the
city treasurer procuring the officers of
banks where city funds were deposited
as his sureties placed the treasurer un
der obligations to the banks.
to Santiago, but a third cable, ca led tha
inshore cable, which runs close along tle
shore of Trinidad, Tunas, Jucaro, Saata Cruz
and Ma.zan.llo, sixty miles from Sa ,t aio.
Now the gallant tars who cut the djuble
cable to Santiago were compelled to retire
without cutting the inshore cable. The can
sequence was that Blanco could st 11 commu .1
cate with Madrid by covering the interven
ing sixty miles, which he seems to ta c
done. A few days ago therefore a second
expedition was dispatched to cut c.ible com
munication at Santiago, and though no live.
were lost, the work, was not perfectly ac
complished. The double cable which runs to
Kingston, Jamaica, was cut, but the parly
was unable to reach the single cable when
runs to Mole St. Nicholas, ln Hayti. Blanco's
communications, therefore, were still not c -t
off. The latest news, subject, of course, to
revision, is that a third expedition was sent
to cut this last cable, and had been en irely
successful in doing so. If this should prove
a true report then Blanco is entirely cut off
from telegraphic communication with his gjv
ernment. In the chart the cables that have
been cut are represented by dotted lines.
If the surety plan is adopted, a pro
vision of the bond companies makes it
necessary that the mayor or city comp
troller countersign all checks drawn on
the city funds.
Mr. Horst says that upon a casual
investigation the corporation attorney
informed him there was no apparent
obstacle in the way of paying the
premiums out of the contingent fund,
and asked that the council pass a reso
lution authorizing the change." The
maitter was referred to the committee
en ways and means and made a special
order for the next meeting.
A communication was received from
Mayor Doran vetoing Board File No.
8592, which is an amendment exempt
ing Chestnut street from the thorough
fares of the Fifth ward where stone
S-desprlln were ordered constructed.
The -mayor said he believed the pro
posed exemption to be class legisla
tion, and unfair. The amendment was
a measure fathered by Aid. Bigelow.
Upon a motion to reconsider, the
amendment was passed over the may
