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

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

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.

Mr. Allun Squelched by n Decisive
Volc--Anr Tnlk (.rows.
Washington Keb 23 While the sen
ate had undei consldeiatlon the diplo
matic and consular npptoprlatlon bill
todnv a shaip debate on the Cuban sit

of Nebinskn, who offered ns nn amend
ment the resolution pnsed by the sen

erent lights of the Cuban Insurgents.
The debate became general and occu
pied neailv four houis
In the couise of a leply to the pie
limlnai statement b Mi Allen, Mi
Moignn. of Alabama, said that this
countiv s lelatlons with Spain at the
present time wen seilouslv strained
and thai Intel vention by the United
Stntes which a cnr ago would have
been Inoffensive, would now be almost
a cause foi wai He expressed the
opinion thnt the Cuban affair would
eventually be submitted to the nrbl
tiatment of tho swoid between tho
United Stntes nnd Spain, but he did
not want wni pieclpitated bv loan acts
of legislation Mr. Foiaker (O )
thought the day not far distant when
the time for action by this countty
would arrive nnd thnt the chief mng
Istinte of the nation ought to rejoice
that the legislative branch of the gov
ernment was prepared to support him
In preseiving American rights Mr.
Thin ston (Neb.) counselled calmness
and prudence for he believed that the
countiy was rapldlj drifting Into a
war with Spain "We ought to have
patience." said he, "and wait as a
great and powerful people, not In fear
but In hope, that some satlsfaetoiy
conclusion of the piesent difficulty may
be reached
Mr. Hoar (Mo'.s ) maintained that
the floor of the senate was no proper
place for angry discussions on Intel -nutlonal
nffalis, and that no senator
ought to utter an thing that might not
well be uttered by the president of the
I'nlted States lie expressed his will
ingness, however, to give his support
to -flie executive should the time for
action nirlve, provided tho pioposed
action was based upon clear and un
mlstnkable facts Mr Allen's amend
ment was ruled out of order and the
appeal from the ruling taken by the
Nebraska senator was laid on the table
bv a vote of ill to fi Early In the day
Mr Allen offered n. lesolutlon provid

who should go to Cuba nnd ascertain
