FIRST REPORT OF THE Cee^tral Ctjea]^ Relief Committee NEW YORK CITY TO THE Seceetart of State WASHINGTON, D. C. June i5, 1898 REPORT OF THE CENTRAL CUBAN RELIEF COMMITTEE. New York, June I5tli, 1898. Hon. Wm. R. Day, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C. Sir: — In obedience to your request, we beg to submit the fol- lowing report of the organization, objects, labors and results at- tending the work of the Central Cuban Relief Committee, from the date of its appointment— January ist, 1898, to June 15th, 1898. The President, deeply moved by the suffering and starvation of the non-combatants in the Island of Cuba, caused to be issued, on the 24th of December last, the following appeal and proclama- tion: "DEPARTMENT OF STATE, "Washington, December 24, 1897. "By direction of the President, the public is informed that, in deference to the earnest desire of the Government of the United States to contribute by effective action toward the rehef of the suffering people in the Island of Cuba, arrangements have been perfected by which charitable contributions, in money or in kind, can be sent to the island, by the benevolently disposed people of the United States. "Money, provisions, clothing, medicines and the like, articles of prime necessity, can be forwarded to General Fitzhugh Lee, the Consul-General of the United States at Habana, and all articles now dutiable by law, so consigned, will be admitted into Cuba free of duty. The Consul-General has been instructed to receive the same and to co-operate with the local authorities and the charitable boards, for the distribution of such relief among the destitute and needy people of Cuba. "The President is confident that the people of the United States, who have, on many occasions in the past, responded most gener- ously to the cry for bread from peoples stricken by famine or sore calamity, and who have beheld no less generous action on the part of foreign communities, when our own countr}'men have suffered from fire or flood, will heed the appeal for aid that comes from the destitute at their own threshold and especially at this season of good will and rejoicing, give of their abundance to this humane end. "JOHN SHERMAN." AVhile the response to this appeal, in the way of public dona- tions, was gratifying, it demonstrated that adequate means for the great relief, so urgently needed could only be guaranteed through the organized labors of a Committee appointed for the purpose, that should, through all means in its power and by the efforts of co-operating committees called into existence through- out the country, reach the hearts and sympathies of the generous American people. Accordingly, Miss Clara Barton, President of the American National Red Cross, was called into consulta- tion with the President and the Department of State. The outcome of this conference, held on the last day of the year 1897, may be best shown by the following letters : "DEPARTMENT OF STATE, "Washington, January i, 1898. "Miss Clara Barton, President, American National Red Cross, Washington, D. C "Dear Madam : — After my conference with you yesterday I saw the President, who expressed his great pleasure that the Red Cross Association will so cheerfully respond to the initiative which the President has taken toward the relief of the suffering people in Cuba. No less could have been expected by him in view of the good work which the Red Cross has done in the past, when called upon to fulfill its humane mission of relieving suffering, either at home or in foreign countries, and acting as the medium for the effective application of the charitable gifts of our citizens. "With the President's approval, I have the pleasure to suggest to you the way in which it is deemed that the co-operation of the Red Cross, in this humane endeavor, can be most practically accomplished. "The first necessity is the organization in New York City, as the most convenient center cf operations, of a committee whose function it will be to appeal to the kindly sentiments of the Ameri- can people in behalf of the sufferers in Cuba; to receive contribu- tions in money or kind and to forward the same to Havana, con- signed to the Consul-General of the United States, he having been placed, by the President, in sole charge of the receipt and appli- cation of the relief in the island ; the Committee as a whole to act under the supervision and direction of the Secretary of State, with whom it may correspond on all matters of business arising and requiring direction, in the name of the Government of the United States. "In view of the generous and cordial offer of Mr. Louis Klopsch, of the Christian Herald, the President desires that, if agreeable to you, he shall be a member of the committee and, in concert with a third member, to be designated by the Chamber of 8 Commerce of New York, co-operate with the representative of the Red Cross, to make effective the effort which is now being put forth. "The representation of the Red Cross on the proposed rehef committee is lef': to you. While the President would be most grati- fied were you in person to act as the second member, he recognizes that the duties and labors of the office might more conveniently fall upon a representative of the Red Cross in New York City, and will cheerfully accept your suggestion that Mr. Stephen E. Barton, Second Vice-President of the American Nation?! Red Cross, serve in that capacity. "Mr. Barton will be furnished with letters to Mr. Louis Klopsch and to Mr. Alexander E. Orr, President of the New York Cham- ber of Commerce, explaining the circumstances under which their co-operation toward the formation of the proposed committee is solicited. "It is trusted that speedy action may be had, so that the organ- ization of the Central Cuban Relief Committee may be announced to the people of the United States by the Secretary of State, at the earliest possible day. "I am, my dear Madam, very respectfully yours, (Signed) "ALVEY A. ADEE, ' "Second Assistant Secretary." "DEPARTMENT OF STATE, "Washington, January i, 1898. "Mr. Stephen E. Barton, Second Vice-President, American National Red Cross, New York City. "Sir: — After conference with Miss Clara Barton, President of the American National Red Cross, and with the full knowledge and approval of the President, I have the pleasure to inform you that you have been selected to represent the Red Cross on a commit- tee of three, which it is proposed to organize in New York City, for the solicitation and collection of money and supplies for the relief of the suffering people in the Island of Cuba and to attend to the forwarding of such relief to Havana, consigned to the United State Consul-General at that port. "The other members of the committee will be Mr. Louis Klopsch, proprietor of the Christian Herald, and a person to be named by the President of the New York Chamber of Commerce, having regard to his qualifications to act as Treasurer of the Com- mittee and to direct the practical operations involved in transport- ing such supplies as may be offered to New York, and the convey- ance thence to the island. The Committee as a whole is to act under the general supervision and direction of the Secretary of State, with whom it may correspond in all matters of business. arising and requiring direction, in the name of the Government of the United States. "I enclose letters addressed to Mr. Klopsch and to Mr. Alex- ander E. Orr, President of the Chamber of Commerce, explaining the circumstances under which their cordial co-operation is invited in this work of humanity, which has aroused the interest of the President and Government and which has already called forth earnest response from the people of the United States. "Very respectfully yours, (Signed) "ALVEY A. ADEE, "Second Assistant Secretary. "Enclosures : "To Mr. Louis Klopsch, original. "To Mr. A. E. Orr, original." The above letters, together with others of similar purport addressed to Mr. Louis Klopsch and Mr. Alexander E. Orr, were entrusted to Mr. Stephen E. Barton who had attended a meeting, with Aliss Clara Barton, at the Department of State on New Year's Day. The letters to Messrs. Orr and Klopsch were delivered the following day, the former selecting Hon. Charles A. Schieren, as the representative of the New York Chamber of Commerce, and the latter accepting the invitation to member- ship on the Committee. This Committee met on the third of January and organized by the selection of Mr. Barton as Chairman and Mr. Schieren as Treasurer, and at the next meeting Mr. O. B. Booth was ap- pointed as Secretary. The active work of the Committee was inaugurated by send- ing, at the conclusion of the second meeting, a telegraphic mes- sage to the Governor of each State and Territory, announcing the appointment of the Committee by the President, expressing his great desire that the people come to the relief of the starving reconcentrados and asking their hearty co-operation. Favor- able responses began to arrive the following day, notifying the Committee, either of the appointment of prominent gentlemen, in the several cities within each State, to organize the relief work, or the issuance of executive proclamations to that effect. The work was thus well under way within a few days. A second proclamation was shortly issued by the Secretary of State, as follows: "RELIEF OF SUFFERING IN CUBA, "DEPARTMENT OF STATE, "Washington, January 8th, 1898. "To the Public: — The undersigned, Secretary of State of the United States, had the honor, on the 24th of December (printed 10 herewith), to make known to all charitably disposed people in this country, the appeal of the President for aid, in the form of money or supplies, toward the speedy relief of the distressing desti- tution and suffering which exists among the peoph of Cuba. "The gratifying interest which his countrymen have shown in all parts of our land in that humane appeal, has led the President to recognize the need of orderly and concerted effort, under well- directed control, if timely assistance is to be given by the public to the sick and needy of Cuba. He has, therefore, appointed, with the co-operation of the American National Red Cross, the New York Chamber of Commerce and one of the leading representa- tives of the religious community, a Central Cuban Relief Com- mittee, with headquarters in New York City, composed of the following members : "Stephen E. Barton, Chairman, Second Vice-President of the American National Red Cross : "Charles A. Schieren, Treasurer, a member of the New York Chamber of Commerce; and "Louis Klopsch, proprietor of the Christian Plerald. "It will be the office of the committee, so organized, not only to receive and forward to the United States Consul-General at Habana, such money and necessary supplies as may be contributed by the people of the United States, but to invoke, in its own name and through the three great interests it fitly represents, the con- current effort of local relief boards throughout the United States, and to invite the kindly aid of the transportation agencies of the country, for the prompt conveyance of contributed supplies to the seaboard and their shipment thence to Cuba. "The Consul-General at Habana is, in turn, assured of the effective co-operation of every available agency in the Island of Cuba, in order that life may be saved and suffering spared. The Spanish Government, welcoming the aid thus tendered, will facili- tate the work and to that end will admit into Cuba, free of duties and charges, all articles otherwise liable to tax, when duly con- signed to the Consul-General. "By direction of the President, the undersigned appeals to the people in every city and town, to the municipal authorities thereof, to the local boards of trade and transportation, to corporations and others producing the necessities of life and to all whose hearts are open to the cry of distress and affliction, to second the generous effort now being made and, by well-directed endeavor, make its success truly responsive to the sentiments of charity that have ever characterized the American people. "JOHN SHERMAN, "Secretary of State." II The first contribution to the Committee was the sum of $i,ooo donated by Mr. Klopsch, in the name of the Christian Herald. A similar amount was placed at the disposal of the Committee in the hands of the United States Despatch Agent at New York, Mr. I. P. Roosa, out of the donations remitted direct to the Sec- retary of State. The first shipment of relief was made by the Committee on the fourth of January. It consisted of i6o cases of condensed milk, forwarded gratuitously by the Ward Line of steamships and consigned to Consul-General Lee at Havana. The second shipment, consisting of 39 tons of food, clothing and medicine, was made in the same way on January 12th. A complete state- ment of shipments made by the Committee and the quantities and character of the supplies sent to each port, is hereto ap- pended, together with other statistics. A circular appeal was made to all churches of Greater New York, with gratifying results. Circulars, inviting co-operation, were sent to more than 10,000 Boards of Trade, National, State and Local Commercial Associations. The detail of the Com- mittee's work immediately assumed proportions demanding a stafT of three stenographers and typewriters and two mailing clerks, and at one time there were employed at the headquarters and warehouse no less than fifteen persons. With the exception of Sundays and holidays, the of^ce has been opened and attended by the staff daily since the organization of the Committee, and usually until 6 or 7 P. M. The subject of free transportation of relief supplies was taken up during the first week, by addressing a letter to the President of every railroad of prominence and most of the coastwise steam- boat lines. Negotiations were opened with Mr. George R. Blanchard, Commissioner of the Joint Traf^c Association of New York, and the following freight circular was promulgated by that body: "TRANSPORTATION OF RELIEF SUPPLIES; ACCOUNT CENTRAL CUBAN RELIEF COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. "The Managers have adopted the following: "Resolved, That, responsive to the request of the Central Cuban Relief Committee appointed by the President of the United States and acting under the direction cf the Department of State, it shall be permissible for the railway companies parties to the Joint Traffic Association to forward, free of transportation charges, from points subject to its jurisdiction to or toward New York, N. Y., New Orleans, La., Mobile and Montgomery, Ala., and Tampa, Fla., shipments of food, clothing, medicines and other necessary sup- 12 plies intended for the use and relief of the inhabitants of the Island of Cuba who are suffering from sickness and famine, sub- ject to the conditions hereinafter provided and under such addi- tional rules and regulations as the several railway companies may establish in order to prevent the abuse of such privilege. "(i) Each and every package containing such supplies must be plainly marked: 'Cuban Relief,' and the precise contents and the value thereof, also the gross weight of each package, must be marked thereon. "(2) All such supplies to be forwarded via New York must be consigned to and packages must be marked : " 'Central Cuban Relief Committee, care of and notify I. P. Roosa, U. S. Gov't Despatch Agent, care of Ward Line Steam- ship Co., Pier 16, East River, New York.' "(3) All such supplies to be forwarded via New Orleans must be consigned to and packages must be marked : " 'Consul-General Lee, Havana, Cuba, via New Orleans, La.' "(4) All such supplies to be forwarded via either Mobile, Montgomery or Tampa must be consigned to and packages must be marked : " 'Consul-General Lee, Havana, Cuba, care of Plant System Steamships (either) Mobile, or Montgomery or Tampa.' "(5) Bills of lading will be issued only to the seaboard points named and not through to Havana, and the supplies must be de- livered to the railway companies parties to this Association, free of advance charges." The following circular issued by the Central Cuban Relief Committee is published for the information of the railway com- panies parties to the Association. It is requested that agents be instructed to call the attention of forwarders of such supplies to the directions and requirements contained therein : "THE CENTRAL CUBAN RELIEF COMMITTEE. "Appointed by the President of the United States and acting under the direction of the Department cf State. Headquarters : Temple Court, New York City. "INSTRUCTIONS AS TO THE TRANSPORTATION OF CUBAN RELIEF SUPPLIES TO NEW YORK, NEW ORLEANS, MOBILE, MONTGOMERY, OR TAMPA, TO BE SHIPPED THENCE TO HAVANA. "Through the generosity of the Joint Traffic Association, com- posed of the principal railways east of Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis and north of the Ohio River and the C. & O. Railway south of that river, the Central CuDan Relief Committee is authorized 13 to announce that it is permissible for those railroads to transport, free of charge, all food, clothing and medical supplies that may be contributed in response to the sympathetic appeal made by the President of the United States to relieve the distress of famine and sickness in the Island of Cuba. "Free transportation will be given for such relief goods from New York to Havana, by the Ward Line of Steamships; from Montgomery, Mobile and Tampa to Havana, by the Plant System of Railways and Steamships, also from Washington, D. C, to Tampa, by the Southern Railway and connections, and from Louis- ville, Ky., to New Orleans, Mobile or Montgomery, by the Louis- ville & Nashville Railroad. "Committees and individuals desiring to make shipments are requested to communicate as early as possible with this Com- mittee, giving full particulars as to kind and quantity of dona- tions, in order that more specific information may immediately be given them. "All articles of relief intended to go via New York should be marked as follows : " 'Central Cuban Relief Committee, care of and notify I. P. Roosa, U. S. Gov't. Despatch Agent, care of Ward Line Steam- ship Co., Pier i6, East River, New York.' "Goods intended to go via Mobile, Montgomery or Tampa, should be marked as follows : " 'Consul-General Lee, Havana, Cuba, care of Plant System Steamship (either) Mobile. Montgomery or Tampa.' "Each and every package must be plainly marked 'Cuban Re- lief,' and the precise contents and the value thereof, also the gross weight of each package, must be marked thereon. "Prompt advice to the Central Cuban Relief Committee, New York, embodying all particulars as to character and quantity of articles ready for shipment, will < nable the Committee to com- municate with the railroad companies, transfer agents, etc., and thus obviate aelays and annoyances. "It is the Committee's desire to avoid any unnecessary labor or inconvenience to the transportation companies, who have so kindly placed their facilities at its disposal, and to guard against any possible imposition upon them. "A statement of each shipment, giving in detail the number of packages, also the contents, value and weight thereof, must be sent to this committee, as such information is demanded by the Spanish Government and must be furnished to the steamship companies. "If further or more specific information is required, please correspond freely with this Committee. "THE CENTRAL CUBAN RELIEF COMMITTEE, "STEPHEN E. BARTON, Chairman. "G. R. BLANCHARD, Commissioner." 14 All of the roads composing the Association, thus released by the resolution, cheerfully vied with each other in hastily volun- teering their services. Similar action was voluntarily and speedily taken by the Southern railroad companies, through the initiative of the Southern Railway Company, also by the great trunk lines west of the limits of the Joint Traffic Association and in New England. In fact, the railroads which denied us free transporta- tion were only two or three in number. Were it not probable that we should omit some, through lack of time to carefully in- vestigate, we would undertake to append a list of those roads which thus gave valuable aid to the great work of charity. All of the coastwise steamboat lines from Maine to Florida and the Ward, Mallory and Munson Hues, running to Cuban ports, took our supplies free, in many instances to the exclusion of the paid freight of their customers. Special praise should be given to Messrs. Jas. E. Ward & Co., of the Ward Line, running semi-weekly steamers to Havana and tri-monthly to Santiago de Cuba, Cienfuegos and other South Shore Cuban ports. By reference to our schedule of shipments hereto appended, it will be seen what a vast amount of tonnage was carried free for us by this company. In addition, this freight was loaded, unloaded, lightered r.nd put upon the Cuban docks by the Ward Line without charge to us. The public press from the first took a lively interest in our work. Every item of news in the development of the work was eagerly sought by them each day and was telegraphed broadcast in the news despatches. Thus a most stimulating and valuable aid was rendered to the efforts of the Committee. A large correspondence sprang up with inquiring and sym- pathetic people in all quarters of the country, resulting in the formation of a great many committees that raised and forwarded both funds and material. An examination of schedules of donors of both money and supplies, hereto appended, will convey a clearer idea of the ex- tent of committee help and the localities furnishing the greatest aid, than can be given in other words. In money donations the Committee received almost double the amount from the Chris- tian Herald that it did from all other sources combined, although in offerings of food, clothing and other supplies, for which the Committee especially appealed, the value, at very low estimates, aggregated nearly as much as the money from all sources. Circulars and pamphlets descriptive of the distressing condi- tions in Cuba were sent to Committees by the tens of thousands. Aside from copies of documents, letters and cablegrams, emanat- ing from the Department of State, Consul-General Lee and the other Consuls, the Committee sent out no literature, except that published by the Christian Herald, and bearing upon it no men- tion of the Central Cuban Relief Committee. 15 A great deal of money was no doubt thus diverted through the Christian Herald, being transferred therefrom to the Com- mittee. Owing to the ofHcial character of the Committee and the delicate relations existing at the time, between our own and the Spanish Governments, the Committee carefully abstained from the publication of any matter, either as news or descriptive literature, that could by any stretch of construction be deemed objectionable or offensive to Spanish sensibilities. It was largely for that reason, that literature of the Christian Herald, which con- tained many photographs of the famine-stricken reconcentrados, was employed. About April ist, the work had reached its greatest extent. Up to March 20th, all relief supplies arriving in New York were delivered direct to the Ward Line, Pier 16, East River, New York, for shipment to Havana, Santiago de Cuba and Cien- fuegos; that company also giving us free wharfage and storage. It was, of course, difficult by that arrangement to open and ex- amine contributed packages of miscellaneous materials to ascer- tain that no illicit goods were contained therein. During the month of March, General Lee reported that the Spanish customs officials had opened a suspicious looking package and found it contained a quantity of cheap jewelry and other similar contra- band articles. The box was marked to a private individual in General Lee's care and by some means passed the scrutiny of the Committee's agents in shipping. It served, however, to de- monstrate the importance of opening and repacking all pack- ages, except those containing purchased goods or those otherwise original in character. Accordingly, a storehouse at No. 46 Ferry street. New York, was secured from Mrs. S. Von Felde, who kindly donated its use, and power for elevator purposes was given by Messrs. Chas. A. Schieren & Co., whose large factory stood near by. Afterward no similar complaint came from the Spanish offi- cials. When the Committee was appointed, its duties consisted solely in appealing to the generous impulses of the people, through the formation of Committees and by other means, to secure the necessary donations in money and kind to carry on the work; the providing of transportation of all donated material from the points of its donation and the delivery of the same to Consul-General Lee at Havana. Urgent appeals soon came from the United States Consuls at Santiago de Cuba, Matanzas and Sagua la Grande, to which points it became necessary to make shipments direct by steamer, and upon request of the Department of State, through Consul-General Lee, permission was secured from the Spanish Government for making shipments to those places under the same restrictions and with the same privileges as to free entry, which applied to the port of Havana. 16 Early in February, Mr. J. K. Elwell was sent to Havana as the agent of the Committee, at the request of Consul-General Lee, to assist in receiving from the steamships, verifying and deHver- ing the reHef supphes into the warehouses for distribution. Prior to the latter part of March, the Committee was not en- trusted with supervision in the matter of distribution, that being left entirely to Consul-General Lee and the Consuls at other ports. It will be remembered that early in February Miss Clara Barton, of the American National Red Cross, and a portion of her staiif went to Havana with letters of introduction from the Presi- dent and the Secretary of State, having been invited to proceed to the field for the purpose of assisting the Consul-General in the detail of distribution. By the latter part of March, however, it had been demonstrated that this Committee could with advantage to the great work in hand, take part in the direction of distribu- tion, in view of the fact that the Consul-General and other Con- suls were so largely occupied with their official duties. A con- ference was held between the Committee and the Secretary of State, which resulted in extending the duty of the Committee to such supervision. This extension of scope brought the Com- mittee into direct relationship with the Red Cross, as will be more readily understood by the following resolution passed at a meeting of the Committee April 13th, a verbal arrangement having been made with Miss Clara Barton a fortnight earlier : "Whereas, The Department of State having extended the au- thority of this Committee to the supervision of distribution of re- lief supplies and the carrying out of all necessary relief measures, in co-operation with the American Consuls in Cuba; and this Committee, having verbally joined with the Department of State in asking the American National Red Cross, Miss Clara Barton President, to proceed at once to Cuba as the representative of this Committee and to perform in behalf of the Committee all necessary work of relief; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Chairman be authorized to write suitable letters to Miss Clara Barton, Consul-General Lee and the other American Consuls in Cuba, notifying them of this action." Prior to the date of this appointment of the Red Cross as the distributing agency of the Committee, it had no official knowl- edge of the progress and results of such work; consequently no report touching that feature of the relief can be made by the Com- mittee. Following the appointment of the Red Cross, it will be remem- bered that the work of distribution under the supervision of the Committee had scarcely been taken up when the breach of friendly relations between the two countries, by the retirement of our Con- suls and of the Red Cross, upon the advice of Consul-General Lee, put an end to that portion of our labors. Just prior to these events, however, the Committee, upon ad- vice of your Department, chartered the steamship "State of 17 Texas," loaded her with over eleven hundred tons of choice food and some medicine and clothing, and despatched her from New York on the 23d day of April for Key West, Fla., in charge of the Red Cross and under that flag, with directions to report for orders to the Naval Commandant at that port. She arrived there five days later and has remained at anchor in that harbor since, with the Red Cross Staff, numbering nearly twenty, aboard, impatiently awaiting a forward movement. The supplies in the vessel's hold are reported in excellent condition, there being noth- ing of a perishable nature, barring possibly some three hundred and fifty tons of cornmeal, which was the best of quality, kiln- dried and is presumably in good order. The exodus from Cuban ports brought to Key West and Tampa large numbers of destitute and hungry refugees. The Red Cross, upon directions from this Committee, has supplied their wants steadily since its arrival. There are, at the date of this report, some fifteen hundred of these refugees in Key West and one thousand in Tampa, who are being daily provided with food by Red Cross committees. We also came to the aid of the Government, temporarily, in feeding a large number of persons on the captured Spanish vessels assembled in Key West Harbor, there being no Government pro- visions for feeding them and their own supplies being exhausted. Upon the outbreak of hostilities and the enforced cessation of our relief work, we advised committees to discontinue the col- lection of supplies and money — temporarily, at least. In the meantime, however, as the proceeds of the gathering methods al- readv under way, there have accumulated over four hundred tons of supplies in the large Nye warehouses in Brooklyn (placed at our disposal by the Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse Company), and over fifty thousand dollars in cash. A more particular account of these resources now on hand will be found in the schedules ap- pended. The purchases of the Committee were confined largely to the following articles: Cornmeal, bacon, condensed milk, hard bread, rice, codfish, lard, potatoes, prepared foods, quinine and other medicines. In addition to these, large quantities of similar supplies, contributed by committees and individuals throughout the country, went forward under the head of "Provisions" and were delivered in many cases directly from the cars or lighters to the vessels. It was thus practically impossible to accurately di- vide the supplies into detailed classes. It was ascertained very shortly after the work began that there was no means for grinding corn in Cuba and that the poor inhabitants had no means for cooking flour. The distributing committees were dependent upon the limited facilities and the ex- actions of private bakers; hence we found it advisable to either send flour in the form of hard bread or to send cornmeal, which could be readily cooked with the simpler facilities at hand. 18 Large quantities of flour and shelled corn, amounting to sev- eral hundred tons, were contributed almost wholly by committees in the Western States. Both of these supplies were sold at the highest market prices by commission merchants of good standing, who entered into the charitable work with a good will, and the proceeds were turned into the general fund for the purchase of meal, bacon, lard and other suitable supplies. As one item of interest, it may be noted that three hundred drums of dried codfish were donated through the New England Committee, at Boston; codfish being a staple article of food in Cuba. The Committee has made no attempt to procure an estimate of the money value of the free facilities furnished it by the rail- roads and other transportation companies, in handling the vast quantities of relief supplies to points of shipment, and thence to Cuba. It is safe to say, however, that it would aggregate many thousands of dollars. Likewise, had the provisions donated in the great Western cities and towns been purchased in the East in- stead of the West, where they were produced and where they were purchased at manufacturer's cost or less, they would represent a much larger sum than appears by the schedule of donated articles accompanying this report, the prices attached being the cost to the producers in many cases. We feel that this report might, with interest and propriety, be extended to much greater length by going more into detail and reproducing much of the correspondence between this Committee, the Departments of the Government and the Auxiliary Committees; and it would be a pleasure to us to recall and recount the many incidents manifesting the great and worthy character of American charity. But it might not become us as a nation to make promi- nent our own virtues. The Committee cannot, however, refrain from extending its cordial thanks to those with whom it has worked, on all sides. The bountiful responses from committees and individuals from Maine to California and from Washington and Oregon to Florida, in so short a period, has been truly mar- vellous, and with it there has been scarcely any manifestation of acrimony toward the Spanish methods which produced such scenes of suffering. Our impulses have seemed to have been stirred almost wholly by feelings of charity and humanity. Surely such a people ought not to be charged with wilful wrong- doing in the deplorable conditions which have succeeded this work of relief. Special thanks are due to the several steamship lines men- tioned and to the railroad companies, too numerous to mention, for free transportation of over 4,000 tons of freight and free passes for Red Cross members; to the Postal Telegraph Company for free transmission of hundreds of messages, far and near; to the Western Union Telegraph and Cable Companies for the privilege of government rates on despatches ; to the New York and New 19 Jersey Telephone Co. for the free use of telephone, which has had very little rest during the six months ; to Messrs. Wickoff, Sea- mans & Benedict, for free use of Remington typewriters ; to the Commercial Union Assurance Company, of London, for gratuitous use of one of the large offices used by the Committee, and almost the entire time of the Chairman of the Committee, who is one of that company's servants ; to Messrs. Blagden and Stillman for the free use of the two offices occupied by the Com- mittee from March 20th to May ist; to Mrs. Sophia Von Felde, for the use of storehouse at 46 Ferry Street from March i8th to May 21st; to the Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse Com- pany for storage facilities and accommodations ; to the hundreds of donors of money and material whose namec appear in our lists, and the hundreds of others whose names do not appear, since their gifts came through committees; last, but not least, to Mr. I. P. Roosa, the U. S. Government Despatch Agent at New York, without whose valuable services in receiving, buying and ship- ping relief supplies, the Committee would have been greatly em- barrassed. At one time there were over 65 carloads of freight in transit, besides what was in warehouses. Mr. Roosa justly merits the title of "Despatch Agent." Through his prompt direc- tion of receiving supplies, lightering and discharging cars, scarcely any inconvenience was caused to the railroads and no words of complaint came from them. These details of the Com- mittee's work ran as smoothly as though its business had been long established. It seems proper to make mention herein, of such relief sup- plies as were sent forward to Cuba through means independent of this Committee, as far as such instances are known to it. A quantity unknown to us was gathered throughout the State of Pennsylvania, by the "Citizens' Committee" of Philadelphia, but where sent and how distributed we do not know. The Associate Society of the Red Cross of Philadelphia, also gathered and forwarded supplies as follows : On March 4th, 65 tons; on March i6th, 112 tons, to Consul Brice at Matanzas ; and in April, 314 tons to Consul Hyatt at Santiago de Cuba. The latter shipment arrived about the time of Consul Hyatt's retire- ment. Materials sent to him by us which had not been dis- tributed at the time of his departure, were left with the British Consul, Mr. Ramsden, who made most faithful distribution of them and favored the Committee with' detailed reports of his la- bors. Much credit is due him for carrying out the work in our behalf, even after the Committees of ladies appointed by Consul Hyatt had all retired. In this connection we desire to commend Consul Hyatt for his painstaking efforts and most systematic work in distributing to some 5,000 starving reconcentrados in his city and in sending supplies into the interior. Through him we en- deavored, but in vain, to reach Consul Tiary, at Baracoa, who first called for relief in February. There being no means of 20 transportation to that out-of-the-way port, his calls brought no help from us. Such was the interest of Consul Hyatt in the work of relief, that we are notified by him, at the date of this report, of his departure from his home in Lewisburg, Pa., for Key West, for the purpose of joining the Red Cross staff on the "State of Texas." Simultaneously with the raising of 22 carloads of provisions by the Omaha World-Herald, in memory of the tragic death of Mrs. Senator Thurston, the Kansas City (Mo.) Star raised and for- warded to New Orleans some 600 tons of supplies. These were forwarded from New Orleans about the middle of April to Consul Brice at Matanzas, by the steamship "Utstein," chartered by the Department of State, out of funds do- nated directly to the Department. The supplies arrived only a few days prior to the retirement of Consul Brice; consequently some 400 tons (as reported) were left un- distributed. These were subsequently seized and confiscated by the Spaniards, as were also some 200 tons left by Consul General Lee' in the Habana warehouses. Neither of these lots was re- ceived in the name of the Red Cross, nor did they bear that sacred emblem. The Committee is informed in writing by Doc- tors Sollosso and Carbonell, both of whom served with Miss Bar- ton and Dr. Lesser in Red Cross hospital work in Habana and Matanzas Provinces, and who came to New York from Cuba late in May, that no article of food, clothing or medicine left at the hospitals or in the hands of committees, by the American Na- tional Red Cross, had been disturbed by the Spaniards ; while all supplies that entered through other channels, and had not been applied, were confiscated. These doctors estimate that some 700 to 900 tons of foods must have been thus seized. On account of impaired health, Mr. Louis Klopsch resigned from the Committee on the i6th of April. While the amount of work in the conduct of Committee aflfairs has been materially lessened, owing to suspension of efforts previ- ously indicated, there still remains a great deal of detail, and the Conimittee is held intact, awaiting the further pleasure of the Department. Respectfully submitted, STEPHEN E. BARTON, Chairman, CHAS. A. SCHIEREN, Treasurer. 21 OOWQO t-< tH O CO coo oa> rt*0 TfiHcoi-T •€©■ I>CD«505I>>OCDrt

C. February i5, 1899 73 SUPPLEMENTAL AND FINAL REPORT OF THE CENTRAL CUBAN RELIEF COMMITTEE. New York, February 15, 1899. Hon. John Hay, Secretary, Department of State, Washington, D. C. Sir: — On the 15th of June last, we had the honor of submitting a report to your predecessor, covering the operations of this Com- mittee in the collection and distribution of Cuban Relief Supplies, from January i, 1898, the date of appointment by your Depart- ment, to the date of that report ; we now beg to submit the follow- ing supplemental report from June 15, 1898, to February 15, 1899. Appended hereto will be found the Treasurer's Statement of receipts and disbursements (Exhibit "E") and a schedule of the several lots of supplies forwarded to Cuba (Exhibit "F") during the period of this second report ; also a Summary of the gross re- ceipts and expenditures by the Committee since its formation (Exhibit "G"), and a grand schedule of all shipments made to Cuba, during the entire period of our work (Exhibit "H"). It was the Committee's intention to have discontinued its labors, in accordance with advice of the Department of State, shortly after the War Department was authorized to distribute rations to the destitute and suffering people in Cuba, and, as a matter of fact, no appeal for donations was thereafter made by us ; nevertheless, it will be seen that the cash receipts since June last have amounted to more than Forty Thousand Dollars, which, added to the Fifty- eight Thousand Dollars, unexpended balance at the date of our June report, has necessitated a continuance of the distribution work. The American National Red Cross, under the guidance of Miss Clara Barton, its President, has continued as the Distributing Agency. It will be remembered that, in obedience to the expressed wish of the President through the Secretary of State, a steamship, the "State of Texas," was chartered, loaded with one thousand tons, or more, of miscellaneous foods, medical and hospital supplies, and despatched on the 23d of April last, almost simultaneously with the Declaration of War, for Key West, Fla., where she reported for orders to the Naval Commandant, by direction of Secretary Day. Immediately thereafter negotiations were opened by Miss Barton for permission to enter the harbor of Havana with the "State of Texas," under the protection of the Red Cross, although the vessel was not commissioned under the "Additional Articles" 75 of the Geneva Treaty, applicable to naval warfare, the agreement under the "Modus Vivendi" not having been consummated at that time. Such a course, however, was not deemed prudent by Rear Admiral Sampson and the vessel accordingly remained at Key West and Tampa until after the departure of General Shafter's expedition. During her stay at Key West she was of great service to the government, in distributing food to the Spanish prisoners on board the many captured vessels. On the 20th of June the "State of Texas" sailed from Key West in pursuit of the army, arriving off Santiago de Cuba in about six days. In anticipation of hostilities the vessel had been provided, before leaving New York, with a large and varied assortment of hospital and field equipments, medicines and surgical supplies, tents and cots, and her staff included four Red Cross Surgeons and five trained female nurses from the Red Cross Hospital in New York, who had served in the Havana hospitals before the retirement of General Lee and the Red Cross. Thus, we were prepared for Auxiliary Aid to the Medical Department of the Army, under the provisions of the Geneva Conference and Convention, as well as for Cuban Relief purposes. Food and medicines were furnished to Cuban sufferers at and near Guantanamo, before the commencement of active hostilities ; hospital relief was administered to the sick in the Cuban hospitals and upon the arrival of the wounded at Siboney the Red Cross, by the aid of the Cuban Relief Ship and her immense cargo of every- thing necessary, became a valuable adjunct to the Medical Service of the Army. At the request and by the kind co-operation of General Shafter and the other military commanders, large quan- tities of supplies were landed from the "State of Texas" and sent to the front. The twenty or thirty thousand non-combatants, who sought refuge at El Caney during the siege, were kept from starv- ation by the supplies from our ship. Upon the surrender of Santiago, the "State of Texas" was per- mitted by Rear Admiral Sampson to be the first vessel to enter the harbor. Her cargo was entirely discharged and placed in warehouses within a few days after her arrival, and the vessel was immediately returned to New York and delivered to her own- ers on the 29th of July, having been in our service three months and nine days. By the kind courtesy of the War Department we forwarded from New York on July i, by the U. S. Transport "Port Victor," eight hundred and fifty tons of Cuban Relief and Red Cross sup- plies, consisting mainlv of large donations from the Omaha "World-Herald" and Western Committees, which had accumu- lated in our warehouses subsequent to the sailing of the "State of Texas." At Port Tampa the "Port Victor" also took aboard for us forty mules, six ambulances and several tons of hay and grain, 7^ intended for Red Cross field and Cuban Relief distribution work in Santiago Province. We were unable, however, to get these sup- plies landed at Santiago de Cuba, for more than six weeks after the vessel arrived at that port. Upon being discharged, these supplies were immediately loaded upon the schooner "Mary E. Morse," chartered by this Committee, and sent (September 7) to the northern coast of Santiago Prov- ince, where they were landed at Baracoa and Gibara by agents of the Red Cross, and distribution was rapidly pushed forward to Holguin and other places in the interior. We have already ad- vised your department that, upon the arrival of U. S. troops, under command of Col. Hood, some ten thousand dollars' worth of our supplies were forcibly seized from the Red Cross Agents, by order of that officer, and our distribution to the thousands of suffering at Gibara, Holguin and other places in that locality was abruptly brought to an end. We have no knowledge of what became of these supplies, our agents having moved forward to Matanzas and Havana after their supplies were taken from them. About the middle of August, Miss Barton and a portion of her staff sailed from Santiago de Cuba for Havana, with a portion of the "State of Texas" cargo, on the U. S. transport "Clinton," for the purpose of resuming reHef work in that section, the Secre- tary of War having advised her by cablegram at Santiago that the transport "Comal" would be despatched from Port Tampa, with two thousand tons of government rations, to be distributed under her superintendence at Havana. Her arrival there was met by a demand for duties, almost equal to the value of the "Clin- ton's" cargo. The "Comal's" cargo was not placed at the disposal of the Red Cross. For the purpose of supplying Cuban refugees who had gathered at Key West in large numbers, and whom we had been feeding and clothing since the first of May with supplies landed from the "State of Texas" and purchased there, we shipped from New York, by schooner "Nokomis" on the 29th of July, one hundred and twenty-five tons. In order to replenish Miss Barton's store with a finer assortment of food and medicine, suitable for hospital use at Havana, we sent from New York on August 24, in charge of Agent D. L. Cobb, by steamer "Kennett," fourteen tons of such supplies. These reached Havana just after Miss Barton's withdrawal on the "Clinton" to Port Tampa, Fla., and were met by the same demand for excessive duties. The goods were accordingly lodged in the Custom House until they were subsequently allowed to be entered free and were distributed by our agent, Mr. George W. Hyatt, who had served us faithfully at Key West during May, June, July and August, and had succeeded in sending many lots of supplies by Cuban coasting vessels to small ports west and east of Havana, during and after the blockade, by permission of the authorities of both governments. 77 On the first of September, in the expectation that Miss Barton would be freely aided, rather than obstructed, in relieving the terrible misery in Havana and Western Cuba, this Committee chartered the steamship "City of San Antonio" in New York and loaded her with five hundred tons of very choice supplies, includ- ing some medicines and clothing. The entire month of September passed before we saw any prospect of being permitted to land her goods free, and she was consequently held in New York until October i, when she was sent to Key West, where she took on board all supplies remaining in our warehouse there — being the balance of the "Nokomis" cargo — and sailed for Matanzas, which had been designated as a port of "free entry." While the "Comal's" cargo, originally sent to Havana, was landed and distributed in Matanzas, Red Cross Agent J. K. Elwell and his assistants succeeded in forwarding the cargo of the "City of San Antonio" to Sagua La Grande, Caibarien, Nuevitas, Santa Clara, Cienfuegos and a score of smaller intermediate places, all of which were in a most deplorable and distressing condition of starvation. By November the embargo having been removed at Havana, we began making shipments to Agent Hyatt at that port, as will appear by reference to Exhibits "F" and "H." Urgent appeals having reached us by cable from Rear Admiral Sampson and by personal request of General Jose M. Gomez, to go to the relief of some five or ten thousand old men, women and children in and near Sancti Spiritus, Santa Clara Province, we despatched Red Cross Agents W. S. Warner and B. G. Conkling to that field about December i, sending a large quantity of relief materials by steamer "Seneca" on the 8th of December, and a similar quantity by the same vessel on the 5th of January. Those two agents are just about closing their work at the date of this report, having moved from Sancti Spiritus (which had been reached by the government supplies) to Santa Clara. In the meantime, during the months of September, November, January and February we have supplied hospitals in Havana, in charge of Dr. Juan B. Sollosso, who served with the Red Cross at Havana and Santiago de Cuba. The Committee feels gratified that such a large percentage — - more than 75 per cent. — of the aggregate donations has been dis- tributed to the sufferers in Cuba. The cost of administering this relief — but 21^ per cent. — would have been much less, except for the necessity of chartering special vessels at high prices, dur- ing the heat of the war. The proportion of expense would, at the same time, have been much larger except for the gratuitous handling of more than one- half of our material, by the railroad and steamship companies and the government, notably the roads composing the Joint Traffic Association and the Ward Line steamers. About 40 per cent. 'of the cost of administration was applied to 78 the chartering of the steamships "State of Texas" and "City of San Antonio" and the schooner "Mary E. Morse." The Chairman and Treasurer of the Central Cuban ReHef Com- mittee also acted in similar capacities, respectively, for the Execu- tive Committee of the American National Red Cross from and after the first of June, the work of the two Committees having been performed jointly, with the same staff and in the same of- fices at No. 58 William street. New York. The expense of each Committee was thus proportionately lessened and that part fairly chargeable to Red Cross Army Relief Work was willingly con- tributed by the American National Red Cross Relief Committee of New York and paid into the funds of the Cuban Relief Com- mittee, out of whose account the entire expense was paid. In the Treasurer's statement an item of $12,162.51 will be found cred- ited to the Red Cross Relief Committee, which represents their share of this expense. That Committee, furthermore, kindly do- nated for Cuban Relief purposes considerable quantities of food and hospital supplies, which were not needed at the great Red Cross relief stations at the Military Camps. The utmost degree of harmony and co-operation characterized the joint labors of the Cuban Relief and Red Cross Relief Committees. On the 30th of June Mr. O. B. Booth, who had been the Secre- tary of this Committee since its formation, was compelled to resign that position on account of other engagements, and Mr. Fred. L. Ward was elected as his successor. We intend this for our final report and hope to be able to dis- solve the Committee as soon as we can have the report printed and distributed among the numerous donors for Cuban Relief purposes and others interested. _ , _ After outstanding expenses and those incident to the distribu- tion of the report are paid, we shall probably have approximately, $7,500 balance, and it is our wish to turn this over to Miss Clara Barton, of the American National Red Cross, for Hospital Work in Cuba — she having been requested by the President, Secretary of War and General Brooke, to establish such work in Cuba. If such disposition of the balance of our fund meets your ap- proval, we wish you would kindly write us to that effect, in order that we may include such approval in our report, thus accounting for all funds that have come into our hands. We would like this approval at the present time, as our report is now in the printing office. The report will be submitted to the Department in the near future. Respectfully submitted, STEPHEN E. BARTON, Chairman. CHAS. A. SCHIEREN, Treasurer. 79 "DEPARTMENT OF STATE, "Washington, March lo, 1899. "Air. Stephen E. Barton, Chairman, Central Cuban Rehef Committee, 58 WilHam street, New York.
