CUBANS ARE IN WANT.
Thousands of Women and Children
Are Suffering.

Are Suffering.
New York, March 1O.-Brigadier-
General William Ludlow, governor of
Havana, has written lengthy letter
to the Evening Post, describing min
utely the conditions in the Cuban cap
ital, and appealing for assistance for
Cuban charities. The destitute, he
says, are found in greater mum bers in
Havana than in the other provinces.
"In this department, writes the
governor, "the destitute drawing ra-
tions approximate 10000, who must
for the present be fed or be permitted
to starve. Employment of the able
bodied men on street-cleaning, collec-
tion OF garbage, repairs to streets and
the like work, have constituted an i'm
mense assistance in this respect by en-
abling the two or three thousand en-
ployes to feed themselves and those
Immediately dependent upon them, bus
there is still very large residuum for
whom at present no occupation can be
furnished. 1t is one Of the distressing
features that a great proportion of the
destitute are women and children,
whose men folks have died or been
killed in the war. while 10000 or
80, 600 more are still congregated as an
army, practically idle and dependent
upon the country for their mainten-
ance, instead of being at work earning
their own living and supporting their
families. 1t is almost impossible, in
the average case of the women, to find
anything for them to do, and this help
less class makes special appeal to SYM
pathy."

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.
The British Government Ready to Cult
Discussion.

London, Aug. pa parliamentary
paper dealing with the Transvaal crisis
was issued today. 1t details the efforts
Of the Boer government during the past
year to have the question of the suze-
rainty of Great Britain submitted to
arbitration and Great Britain's repeat
ed refusal to discuss this point The
document adds that Sir Alfred Miner,
the governor of Cape Colony and high
commissioner of southern Africa, writ
ing to Joseph Chamberlain, the secre-
tary of state for the colonies, last June,
said: THE way in which the secretary
o. state juggles with the convention of
1884 is rather Irritating to plain man.
The final dispatch from Mr.. Chamber
lain, dated July 10, 1899, to Sir Alfred
Miner, concurs with the latters view
as to the untenable Transvaal conten-
ton, adding that the British govern
ment had no intention to continue to
discuss the question of suzerainty with
the Transvaal.
