To the Associated Press Mr. Russell said: i- . . . ! -v "I am very glad to be interviewed on the subject of Cuba, because I feel it a solemn duty to humanity to endeavor tq make the - American people realize ; the terrible distress wjhich exists there. Much has been written on the subject, but, judging; others- by myself, I feel quite sure that because we dp not commit and have not in our history committed such atrocities as Spaii is committing on 'that island, the American reading public re gards the reports as biased y the pre conceived opinions of newspapers gr grossly exaggerated. v"'v' 1 "I spent just two weeks in. Cuba; visitr ed Havana, wept south fo Jaruco, south east to : Guinea, northeast to.- Ma'tanzas; eastwardly about 200 miles through i the middle of the country, to San Domingo, Santa Clara 'and Sagua la Grandei I 'vis ited cMarianao, a short distance west of Havana,1 and saw along the railroads thir-i ty to forty, towns or stations. In Havana -I visited the Fossos, thi hospital prison Aldecoa, Where I talked I with the father of Evangeline Cosi'o y Cisneros, -and ia place called the JaeobaLj I found recon-: cen tradoes at all -three 'places, and beg ging everywhere about I t'he streets pf Havana,! The 'spectacle at the FpssOs ,and Jacoba' houses, .of women and chil dren emaciated to skeletons and suffer ing 'from diseases produced by starvation, ws 'sickening. . . .; , :", . . . i j ; "In Sagua I saw some j sick and emaci ated little, girls in a chlldrens' hospital started" three, days before by charitable Cubans, and saw a crowd' of miserable, looking reconcentradoes with, tin buckets and Other receptacles getting a small al lowance of food- doled 9Ut to them in ja yard. Inthe same city,' !in an old sugar warehouse, I saw staltioned around i the insj-de walls the remains of 'twenty or. thirty Cuban, families.; In one ease the remnartt consisted of twO little Children of 7 and 8 years.- In' a'nolther case where I talked to the people in ibroken Spanish, there were' four individuals, a mother, a girl of 14 years and two quite small girls.; The smallest was then j siifEering from m'alarial i fey.er. The next had the signs on ' her hands, with Which I had become familiar, of . having-had the b'eri-beri. These four were all that the order of concentration had left alive of eleven.!' - "At San Domingo .where two railroads join, the depot was crowded with women and children,, one of the latter, as I re member, being, swollen up with the berl . beri, . begging in the most, earnest way from the few passengers. - i ' "San Domingo Is little more ' than a railroad s'tationi in times of peace, but at present it has a- considerable populatfon living in cabins composed , of . the survi vors of ' the reconcentradoes. The huts are arranged' close together in a little clump and the cdncenitratlon brderlf re quired and; apparently- still requires t'hesS, people to live wunin acircie -ot smau block 'houses, commonflyNdignified' in ithe dispatches by the name of forts, i Of, course, they haid no work to do, no suil to till, no seed to plant and only 'begging; to live on. 1 do not Know the . exact measure I of the dead line circle drawn around them, but there - Was certainly iothing wiMiin Jt upon which 'a human being could subsist, and also certainly, if any order Wad newly permitted, theiri; to g'o a short-distance further out, they had not gone ana were, not going. .Prac tically they are prisoners, i f ; " "At every one or. the numerous shop ping places aloncg the road, -a similar col lection Of huts could 'De seen and at most -of thom beggars, Often nice, look ing women ' "and beautiful Children, ! in vaded the cars. 'Beit ween ' the , stations, although I traveled always by daylight. as the trains do not run at night, and was observing' as carefully as possible,; slaw no signs of the reconcentradoes; going away from the forts. If they haid gone, it takes seed, instruments, land and 'three or f pur metiUhsi t'o raise ithe vegetables which could be soonest pro-i duced, and nowhere away from the block houses was there any sign of vegetables. growing;; .'Is ear ithe larger towns-the (Cir cle of conceivtration seemed to .be some-i w'hat larger and there some planting of Vegetables, tobacco, etc., seemed to bef going on. At this, .a very few persons, possibly ; some of t'hem ireconcen tradoes; found employment. : .; ' '. A !'- I . "All along the ranroadi far as. coulu be seen, were.'-stretches or the most fertile and beautiful country, r with very few trees,' evert on the low mountains and most of these "theorjal; palms. I saw many dozens 'of burned; cane fields, iand one. evening, going fromf-Guines to Hava na, saw "the sky lighted up 'all along ithe road. Wii'h fires, . principally Of the ..tall grass of the country, but partly of cane. The. whole land was lying perfectly idle except where I saw three or four sugar mills Where' cane was growing, but -in all such Instances the mill ana cane were surrounded by the forts, manned by sol diers, who are paid, as. I was told; by the owners. Except in the cities, I saw no indication that any relief whatever was ibeing .afforded to ithe starving peo- inle. 'Neither in - Havana nor elsewhere did any priest,- religious woman er other person, -seem to be paying any attention to the" wants or the starving, except that at the Fossos, . and some other places charitable Cuban? wt nursing ithe sick; The church, being a state institu tion, was, so far as I could sec, leaving the victims without either bodily or spir itual relief. In fact, i the general air of indifference to suffering, which seemed to prevail everywhere, was astonishing. ." i , "As the country was stripped, of its population by the -order of . concentra tion, it is easy to believe that 400,000 per 'sons were gathered r behind : . the forts, without being given food, medicine- or means of any kind to earn a living, ex cept where in the. larger cities some few oopid sflnd employment in meiiial offices. Judging by the orpitians I was shown at the Jacoba, AldeCoa and elsewhere and from, all I saw and heard, I believe that half of the 400,000 'have died as the re sult of starvation. I know from the offi cial register of thel city of Santa Clara, whicA has a population of about 14,000; that the number Of deaths for December was over 900, and showed' an Increase, Considering the loss- of the former; thou sand from its -total population. The ex act figures for December are 971, At that city th? government was distributing 500 single' rations per day out of a total ap propriation for the purpose ; of ; $15,000. This was not relief, but a mere prolonga tion of the sufferings of a small part of the; ceconcentraojoes or that city.l -. "So far as any evidence of relief was visible to my eyes or Was even heard, of hy me in ail my talks on the Island, the surviving 200.000 people are in the, same condition and have the same; prospect of starvation before them as. : had their kindred who have died. There is as much need r of medicine now. as of food, and they are. getting inetther. ' T "Tha excuse given by the-(Spanish sympathizers,; in Cuba is that the troops must be fed,, and it Is certain that many ;of th'esoldiers-'are sick and suffering for I -want of proper food. I sawj many myself Jtimt looked so. X was informed on all sidesthat they 'had not "been paid for ebeut eight men thg, and that'most of the civil officla.ls hatf snot' been paid fqr. a-sini-:ilar "'period-' It Is, therefore, : most prob able that Spain i is practically, unable to- supply the mlllrons which are j Immedi ately necessary jto prevent the death of most of the' surviving reconcentradoes; but this.lea9 to - political questions, w'nich X desire to avoid. . . i ?T wish merely to star in such "a way as to be convincing that" tofconsequence of the concentration or the people some 00.000 Cubans are dai- suffering and dying1 from diseases produced by a lack of nourishment, in the. .-midst of what'l think must bj the mogt fertile country li the world, and . that something must bi tione tor nifiu vu a larje Buaics ai onee. or a ew months will see their extermination.- .
