TUB WORK OF RELIEF
Citizens Subscribe $10,000 For the
Immediate Wants of Those Unfor
tunates Who Lost AH by the Fury
of the Tornado.
Mayor urenneu, who is directing me
relief work, estimates that $i 0,000 wiii
relieve the immediate wants of the suf
ferers. The larger part of mis has al
ready been raised among citizens and a
citizen’s meeting was held at noon to
raise the remainder and to more per-
feetly organize the distribution of the
relief funds. As the larger number of
the losers are negroes and the poorer
class of whites, the suffering among
many of them has been acme.
Just how many people were hurt in
the storm will probably never be known.
Many who sustained trifling injuries
paid no heed to their wounds in their
anxiety to save their scattered house
hold effects and to look after the dead
and more seriously wounded. The
names of about 50 wounded have been
obtained, but this is thought to be only
about half the number who were really
hurt, The property loss is estimated by
some as high as $300,000. The death
list in Birmingham and vicinity stands
at 18.
The Death List Revised.
Birmingham, Ala., March 26. — A
careful revision of the death list up to
noon today places th©'-total number of
dead in the city at 13, several persons
who were missing and had been reported
dead having shown up. The negro
women reported missing at Irondale are
believed to be dead under wrecked build
ings. If they are dead, this will in
crease Irondale’s total deaths to five,
making a grand total of 18 dead in Bir
mingham and vicinity. The following
is a complete list of the dead: White-

the policy of depreciation of the island
ers which has been pursued in some
newspapers. He considers this as ac
counting for most of the misunderstand
ing and ill feeling.
“I went everywhere and talked with
I could find,” said Mr.
Cooper, “Spaniards and Cubans, men
and women. I found that the Spaniards
are annexationists. The Cubans are al
most unanimously in favor of independ
ence, even .those of them who believe
that annexation is'inevitable in the long

anyway, because, as they said to me,
