Providence, Dec 27.-The Journals correspondent, R. S. Rowland, who has been in Cuba, wires the following in- concerning the pitiable condition of the poor in Cuba:
 I have had a long interview with the president today concerning the cOndi- tion of the poor in Havana and it's neighborhood. He wrote out an order to the secretary of war directing that the commissary, quartermaster and medical departments should send sup plies immediately for the relief of the destitute in Havana and Guines. He signed this order in my presence, and gave it to a clerk with instructions to copy it and take it to the secretary without delay
 The president said that he had an ticipated that the conditions among the poor in Havana would be found to be appalling, but had hardly expect ed such figures as those reported by General Greene. showing 19, ,480 deaths and only 2,22S births in Havana during the past eleven months, nor had he inn agined that 3O,000 people would be in need of food and clothing at this time. Now that the conditions have been re- vealed, he hopes that the people of the whole United States will hasten to re- lieve the great mass of suffering crying for help from the whole island.
 The act of congress approved May IS last enables the president to furnish such supplies for the destitute as are to be found in the stores of our army, but these resources must be supple mented by private charity. He called attention to a proclamation he issued on the 24th day of last December. as follows .Ni
 Department of State,
 Washington, Dec. A, 1897.
 By direction of the president, the public is informed that in deference to the earnest desire of the government to contribute by effective action toward the relief of the suffering people in the island of Cuba, arrangements have been perfected by which charitable con tributions, in money or in kind, can be sent to the island by the benevOlently disposed people of the United States. Money, provisions, clething, medicines and the like articles of prime necessity can be forwarded to General FitZhugh Lee, consul general of the United States at Havana, and all articles now duti- able by law so consigned will be admit ted into Cuba free of duty. The consul general has been instructed to receive the same and to cooperate with the local authorities and the charitable boards for the distribution of such re- lief among the destitute and needyp peo- pie of Cuba. The president is confident that the people of the United States, who have on many occasions in the past responded most generously to the cry for bread from peoples stricken by famine or sore calamity, who have be- held no less generous action on the rart of foreign communities when their own have suffered from fire and flood. will heed the appeal for aid that comes from the destitute at their own and especially at this season of good will and rejoicing give of their to this humane end

 It is suspected, for instance, that the arms and ammunition destined for Aguinaldo which were intercepted at Hong Kong not long ago, were supplied by Russian capital, although of course there is no direct evidence of that. Whether or not the suspicious are well grounded, 1t is certain that the doings of Russia during the next two or three years are likely to call for close scrut- iny, and the presence in the cabinet of MT. Hitchcock, who has friendly rela- tions with Russian public men, is to be particularly helpful.

Quiry for good for September shipment but
none are obtainable. All supplies exhaust

is liable to occur. The trade grumbles. but is
powerless. and business must be done as the
association dictates. Unquestionably the asso-
citation Will suffer in consequence, but that
doesn't hinder the fact that eventually all
raisins Will move into consumption, regardless
OF the price, because people will have them.

not sufficient to exert much influence For
