Htitlks the Street. New York, Feb 23 A special cor respondent of the Asso tied Pros'", vvrltlng from Santiago do Cuba under rlute of rob. S, says- While the United Slates erulser Montgomery was ut Mn.tans'as recently a tiouid of olllccts was appointed to Inquire Into the con dition of (lie people of that province. Although the onot tcims of the report nre not known It may he said that, In Buhstanea It sets forth thnt there nte 14 000 people absolutely without food I and clothing within the city limit-, j About I! (KM) of then- live In small huts of palm brandies. These huts form three M'pntati villages beyond the built-up pin lions of the city. The other 1100(1 unfoiUiuutes live In the streets of the tit j anil ate absolutely without homes or Bin Iter. These 14.000 people aie the lahtiilng i hisses, who hue been drlen Into the iltles fioiti theli louutiy homos, whleh huve lu On dtlOed li the upetutlunH of the win Most of tliini nn Women and lillilicn. and the.v aie all emacl atM. -10k and .itinost bovond relief un les fhc e.in hae the benefit of tegu lar Uoitinent In the hospitals Ah It l. I hex me dving In the stieetH for want of lood An nidlnr; to statistics gatheiod fiom the best olllrlal souites, the ntunbei of deaths In the pmlme of Matanzas fiom staiatlon Is fi'i.OOO, and the num ber of staivlng people nt pieent In the piovlncc Is estimated at 9S 000, out of a total population of 2;i,Glli In De cember, 1S07. and the number of staiv lng people Is lapldly Inci casing Tim death rate In the elty of Matanas alone theie have been about 11000 deaths dutlng the past tar, and the number Is in- leasing dall. The death late at pres ent averages foitj-sl pel da, ns shown bj the leiiotts fiom tho eeme teiy. The Increase In the death late Is due to the fait that the (listless Is no longer confined to the laboiing people, most of whom have alte.idv perished. It has now extended to the ilass of people who, before the war, weie In model ately comfortable clicumstances Those who nie now begging In the streets were, in a laige pait, well-to-do people, or the children of people who were well-to-do And, In addition, the citizens of the city of Matanzas them selves, nre beginning to suffer for the actual nccesaiies of life, having diaincd theli lesources In order to sup ply tho uigent needs of the laboring clasM who have been quartered upon them The citizens of Mntanr.is have an or ganized sj.stcm of relief for the staiv lng people, but It Is entile ly Inade quate, and Is dallv becoming moie glar ingly so, foi the rtbouices of those who were well-to-do aie lapldly diminish ing, while the demand for lood Is con stantly Inci easing, In spite of the enor mous and constants increasing death rate. The thiee relief places In tho city of Matanras do not begin to ade quately ntipply food to the 11,000 peo ple who nie 'there starving In the streets, for the citizens are only nblo to Issue food thite times a day at each place and then to only nbout 100 at a time Consequently, only about 000 of the destitute jieople lecelve food once a day Many citizens of Matanzas hne fed tho stdiving In the streets, from tho fiont of their own homes, but, they themselves nre feeling the pinch of privation and unless assist ance soon comes to them they will be compelled In self protection to cease the work of charity In which they nro now engaged, and which is seemingly the only link connecting the starving thousands with life. AMERICANS IN WANT These statements are not exaggera tions They aie the conclusions, facts nnd figures arrived at tiy a board of United States naval ofllcers. Thore foio it will be icadlly seen that there it urgent necessity for the immediate icllef of the starving thousands of Matanzas, to say nothing of those of other and similarly suffering cities. When ever the United States ofllcers landed they were constantly followed by clamoring ciowds of starving men. women and children, who Importuned them In the most heartrending man ner for a little food, for tho want of w hlch they w ei e slow ly dying. The United States consul nt Mntnn 7as has done everj thing possible un der the clicumstances, but when the Montgomery left there in the first dajs of Februnry. the consul had only en ough rations remaining to last about iwo vveeKS, niter wnicli the fund ap propriated by congress would have been exhausted, and then the suffereis of Matanzas would Include the Amer lian cltlzenB nt that place, who have hitherto received relief through the United States consulate QUAY AND THE WAR SCARG. Tho Senator Repudiates an lutcr viovv Credited to IFlm. Plttsbuig, Pob. 23. What puiported to be an interview with United States Senator M. S. Quay, given nt his home In Heaver, bearing on the destruction of the battleship Maine and the pies ence in American waters of tho Viz caya, was given publicity yesteiday. Senator Quay was last night asked by a ri'i'MEontatlve of the Commeitlal Oazotto It he had made the statements credited to him in legnnl to the Maine exploMon He snid "I havo not r.u thotized nn Interview on the subject. The secrets of tho government me not in my possession, und the publication places mo in u ridiculous light at Wash lngton," The Interview repudiated by Senator Quo,y follows, "The Maine waH blown up bj a tor pedo," declared tho senator. 'The gov ernment at Washington understands tully Vho situation at Havana and all that Is b-lng dono thero und that Iwb tnken pluce. All tho Inquiry and all the Inves ligations of divers will disclose nothing morn than Is now known. Tho torpedo thnt destroyed the battleship was made in th United States. Its chnractei is fully understood. It was possible to send It through ithe water for a mllo and to discharge It cither by percussion or bj a time fuse arranged by clock work. That the Spanish government had aught to do with tho work, however, Is not believed by anyono ropvsrsnnt with tho facts. Tho torpedo probably was sped on its terrible mission by members of tho volunteer flrnjV n Havana, The work had not tho lounteiiaiico of tho SponUh authorities. "Now," continued tho senator, "tho cop-'i'itm that is mobt alarming to ths government nt Washington l the prcs enco In Now York harbor of tho Vis cain. That boat Is a mennco beouuso thero nro In tho United fitntes Just tha same element as there are In Havana. Tho Vlrcaja Is In danger froth the Cu ban Junta. Tho government fears thnt the ship may bo blown up Just ns was tho Mnlne. Everycno Is extremely npprohen Mvo on this sccre. Every precaution lias been tnken to prevent anything befalling tho cruiser, but thero Is no telling what might bo dono by tho Irresponsible people who lutvc. the eniiso of Cuba nt heart. What our government wants now Is to l;ct tho Vlseaju out of the United States waters. That there will bo un attempt to destroy hot Is well known to the do pirtment nt Washington; they have been Informed of tho Intentions of tho ene mies of Bpoln, who In this enso are nlfo enemies of the I'nlted Stntes. "A blow struck nt the Vlsonjn. o uilv accident befalling her while she Is In New York harbor would bo tantamount to a di duration of war. Tho country Is nllnmo with a war feeling. It would tnke little to provoko hostilities. It Is against this that the government nt Washington Is guarding Tho sentiment of tho coob-r persons at the capital Is that tho peoplo of the countiy must bo kept down In this matter, the war spirit must not bo per mitted to curry them avvny.

New York, Feb 21 Sensational re ports that the Vlzcaya's officers had ordered that the coal be taken aboard In haste, and that men had been kept at woik day and night in this service were authoritatively denied today. On the contrary, no more dispatch has been used In coaling than Is usual, and no efforts will bo made to com plete the loading of the 900 tons re quired by tho cruiser, before tomorrow. It was learned at the Spanish con sulate general that Captain Hulate had received no sailing orders up to 2 p m today.

Before leaving ho stated that the opposition to the pat don by tho lelatlves of Michael MtNulty, the man who was killed, had evidently been withdrawn, ns their counsel was not piesent to conduct the opposition, "I am most gratified over this," he said, "as Camp 1 ell's case Is a sad one and even the relatives of his victim appreciate this by their consldeiate wlthdiavvnl of their opposition to his pardon " Campbell has already served twentv rne veais and seven months The case will come up again Match 30.
