THE JEFFERS La. ave. tric ele tal -ates mb1S-1e2 people of the United States, in the name of humanity, to do something to get rid of the barbarous mode of warfare that is being carried on in Cuba. The Society of the Red Cross never appeals to the public for money. It simply responds to tnvita- tions to go here or there when funds for the relief of the distressed are supplied them. Nothing can be done until $106,000 has been raised and placed in the hands of Miss Clara Barton, president of the So- ciety of the Red Cross. Miss Barton has naturally long had her eyes on the Island of Cuba as a place need- Ing the work of her society. She has even gone so far as to ask the Spanish minister. Senor de Lome, whether the Spanish £0 mment would place any objection in the way of the Society of the Red Cross if it should desire to operate in Cuba. Senor ¢ Lome ted to Miss Barton that no obsta ele would be placed in the way of the ciety in its work of humanit: In view of the fact that Spain was one of th» coun- tries which signed the treaty of Geneva on September 15, 1864, which is the treaty un- der which the society operates all over the upe: world, it is regarded as obligator that country to welcome the society w its borders whenever its assistance would aid humanity. It is not rezarled as pos- ble that Spain should quibble over the name it might give to the conflict geing on in Cuba. Whether that contest, with 200.000 men on one side and 40,000 on the other, is technically a “war” or insur- rection makes no difference, as the Society of the Red Cross is organized not only to relieve the suffering brought about by war, but by any national calamity. This movement was inaugurated yester- day afternoon, when Miss Clara invitation, came Into the city from Glen Echo, where she has her home, and where the headquarters of the society are located, to talk over with Gen. Sickles, who is stopping at the Arlington Hotel, the proposition for sending relief to the Cubans through her society. Miss Barton ed the readiness of the society to y 0 to Cuba, bui_ impressed . Sickles the fact that before anything can be done a goodly sum of money must be provided. The conferenc beiween Miss Barton and Gen. Sickles lasted for about an hour, at the end of ich time Gen. Sickles was thoroughly favorable to the idea of making an attempt t once to raise the desired funds. Spi ing to a Star reporter regarding this pro- Gen. Sickles > said: upon Ge What nm.

Gen. Grant simply. said that the war in Cuba would have to be carried on in some other method, or the United States wouid interfere, and he told me to so inform the Spanish govern- ment. That is just what we shouid again. “But above all things, the ald that ¢ best be rendered by the Society of the Re Cross, to the sick and wounded on both sides of the contest, should be offered at once.

Snow Storm Has Swept Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska. OMAHA, Neb., April 1.—The severest blizzard of the entire winter has prevailed for the last thirty-five hours in western Nebraska and adjacent territory, and has compietely stopped all traffic on three Omaha rallroads—the Burlirgton, the Union Pacific anc the Reck Island—in that sec- tion. The interruption to train service, and the best means of getting trains through, ei gaged the entire attention of officials at the Union Pacific headquarters. Throughcut the Union Pacific system the storm extended along ail the lines in Colo- rado, Wyoming and Kansas. The oniy part of the system on which trains were moved was between Omaha and Sidney, Neb. The overland limited is snow bound at Hillsdale, Wye., twenty miles east ef Cheyenne. ‘The fast mail is lying helpless in_a snow drift near Sidney, this state. The passergers on the snowbound trains are suffering no discomfort, one of the first orders going from headquarters being that the passengers should be well looked after and that no expenses should be spared to make them as comfortable as possible un- der the circumstances. The weather reports of the Burlington and Missouri lines showed great depths of snow in Wyoming, Colorado and South Dakota. Belmont reported six inches, Ard- more, two inches; Custer, three inches: Deadwood, fifteen inches; Gillette, eight inches, and Hotyoke, four inches. Most of the points in the southern of Ne- braska reported heavy rains, with the weather growing colder. Great piles of snow cover the plains of western Nebraska. It is four_feet deep in many places. The mercury is above zero, but a very high wind prevails. In the eastern part of the state great quan- tities of rain have fallen during the last forty-eight hours. All the streams are bankful and the danger of floods is in- eressing hourly. When this flood strikes the already becoming Missouri disaster Goubtiess will follow. LARAMIE, Wyo., April 1—The most s vere snow storm in twenty years has struck this section, doing immense damage to cattle and sheep. Business here is prac- tically suspended, and yesterday even the daily papers were rot issued. On the main streets snow in places is ten feet high, while residences on the outskirts of the city are in some instances completely buried by dfifts. Several buildings cel- Japsed in consequence of the weight of the snow on their roofs. The storm extends from Medicine Bow to Pine Bluffs, Wyo., a distance of 175 miles. Laramie and Sher- ma. Hill appear to be the very center of the storm. All freight trains on the Union Pacific have been suspended for the past forty-eight hours, and officials are making strenuous, but apparently futile, efforts to keep pa senger trains moving. Trainmaster Cutross ot the Union Pacific hones to have trains moving some time today. On Sherman Hill the big rotary srow plow been kept moving all day, piouzhing through drifts fully twenty feet high in numerous places.

He said when the hill was pending in Congress regulating the fishing he was promised by those in charge of the bill that if he did not cprose it he would not be molested. He oniy uses small geines for the deep water fishing above the Aqueduct bridge. He did not catch any- thing but shad and herring, and if a game fish got into his nets it was promptly re- leased. He argued that it would be a great injustice to him to prevent him from fishing and a great hardship upon th? men in his employ, The Anglers’ Association had de- tails of policemen watching him, and was doing everything to prevert him from earn- ing a Hving. He urged the Commissioners te acknowledge the property rights 3n the Virginia side of the river and allow scining from that side. The Commissioners informod him that the only relief that couid be cbta!ned must be through an act of Congress. | INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS . ASBURY PARK REAL ESTATE. ATTORNEYS ..
