CLARA BARTON BACK
Orphan Asylums Established in Cuba and
Doing Good Work
Women Handle the Hoe as Well and
Recei the Same Wages
as Men.

MISS LARA barton OF the Red cross ar
rived in New York city from Havana yes
terday forenoon on the Ward line steam
ship Havana. Sheswas sent to Hoffman
Island to pass the usual quarantine period
for observation. Miss Barton stated yes
terday that while she has passed much
time among yellow fever patients and has
encountered epidemics of that disease since
the Memphis outbreak of 1877, she cannot
call herself an immune, and refuses to be
Classed as such.
Il prefer" she said, Ito comply with
quarantine regulations, as do not think it
impossible that 1 could contract the dis
ease"
Red Cross affairs in Cuba Miss Barton
states, according to the New York Tribune,
are in sood condition, twelve asylums hav-
ing been established All are thronged
with children, mostly orphan reconcentra-
dos. About three hundred are now under
care in the various institutions, where they
are kept clean and we'll fed. Corporal pun
ishment is not allowed in the asylums. The
larger children are given tools and seeds,
together with a small plot of land to be
titled. So rapid is the vegetation there
that many are already eating their own let
tuce, radishes and potatoes.
The Red Cross has furnished the cloth
for the clothing Of the children, and the
Cuban women brought their machines and
made ii up. Miss Barton expects to take
up hundred children weekly. The asy
lums are now left in charge of the Cubans,
who will report to Miss Barton.
Hiss GiIi.s Work.
Miss Gill who has with her d college set
Element worker from this city, is establish
ing an agricultural school for orphans be-
tween the ages of ten and fifteen years at
Sancti Spiritus. A college settlement is
also to be established at Remedies, where
the people are still dying of starvation and
where the women have SO few articles of
wearing apparel that they are forced to
hide in the bush when any one comes near
them.
In conversation yesterday with Mrs. E.
E. Freer, assistant manager of the Cuban
relief work, now established at Ceiba Mo-
cha, province of MatanZaS, it was learned
that the work already full of promise.
Two farms have been established, which
are already furnishing employment for d
number of men, women and children, no
distinction in the matter of wages being
made between men and women.
When sufficient funds are available for
the purpose, said Mrs. Freer, these farms
will be used as headquarters for the distri
mentS seeds and domestic supplies to small
farmers who are unable through lack of
means TO resume the cultivation of their
own lands.
Meantime we are trying to give employ
ment to Cuban widows left helpless and
destitute by the war and to find homes in
good Cuban families for the thousands of
orphan asylum children who survived the
war and the famine. \ house has already
been secured and fitted up in American
