MANY CALLS FOR HELP.
PrOvident Association and Helping
Hand Rendered Great Deal
of ASHfStluce.

The transactions of the Provident Asso-
citation developed no cases of suffering from
the cold. and aside from the unusual num-
ber of applications for fuel, the calls for
assistance were not more numerous than
usual. There were several calls for help
in sickness, but in answering these the as
sstants found the sufferers fairly well
provided against the cold. The superin-
tendent thought that the severity of the
storm may have kept many at home who
otherwise would have made application for
assistance. but on the, whole, he says, the
poor people of the city are reasonably Well
clothed and housed. The Provident Asso--
citation has an ample supply of fuel and
clothing to meet any demands which are
likely to be made.
At the Helping Hand the indications of
iHclement weather outside were a little

HAVANA. Nov. 21.-The greatest activity
prevails in Spanish military circles in the
arrangements for evacuating the province

visited the commissioners at the Hotel
Trocha to invite them to be present at the
opening of the first Cuban hospital in Ha-

raised by public subscription for the equip

TROUBLED STREET RAILWAYS.
Several Mishaps During the Day. but

Yesterday was an evil day for the street

conditions the day passed without an alb

tive immunity from 'layouts" was no doubt
due to the extreme care exercised by ali
