Six Months.

Ok MoutnSs
On the Spanish steamer Alfonso MIL,
which arrived at Havana Thursday,
there were LIE Spanish immigrants.
During the last three months 5000 Span
iards have arrived there. 1t Is said that
the Madrid Government is assisting the
people who wish to take up their resi-
dence in Cuba. Very few women are
coming.

they come seeking work. They are
dumped into the city, which is not vet
on its feet industrially, ana many of them
are having hard times. They herd to-
gether in such fashion that they increase
the danger of the spread of fever. The
Spanish merchants and societies are do
ing everything possible to assist them.
The main object is to get them into the
country districts.
