HELP FOR !
4 THE
WOMEN OF CUBA.
How American Women Are
: Aiding Their Dark Eyed,
Su2ering Island Sisters.
BY Annette Crawford.

There 10 still 4 great deal of suffering
In Cuba. The wounds left by war are
deep and do not heal readily. Ruined
plantations cannot be reclaimed In . few
months. War widows and war orphans
find that year Of peace restores to them
neither husbands, parents nor homes.
You cannot live by freedom alone. The
flag Of ones country Is q thrilling sight
to see, but 1t does not taxi" the place Of
clothes to wear. -,
Several attempts have been made to
awaken the interest Of charitable and.
philanthropic American women In behalf
Of the women and children Of Cuba who
suffer from privation and want Of every
kind. Most Of these efforts have met
with but feeble response. A new move
ment which has been started by Mrs.
Este G. Rathbone, wife Of the director
general Of posts for Cuba. promises to be
rich In results.
Mrs. Rathbone has stirred society wo-
men In Washington. New York and Phil
adelphia by her vivid descriptions Of the
suffering which she has seen in the va.
rious provinces. She has organized re-
lief branches in several cities, and now
she has gone back to Cuba to personal
ly conduct the work Of relief.
In recognition Of her services she has
been appointed president of the Cuban
Red Cross society by Miss Clara Barton.
This gives her the powerful machinery of
the Red Cross organization, and it is GER
tain that she will make good use Of the
funds she receives through this channel.
The beginning Of the work for tho
C,,h cd Of rto H in
The society that was started, called Ell
Secorro, was one Of the best things that
have ever been established in an army
ridden country.
Imagine how many of the aristocratic
Cuban women must be suffering-and
your high bred Cuban is as proud as the
half breed is abject The latter will
take everything she can get; the former
will not even ask for what life demands.
These women, on hearing that Mrs.
Rathbone was in one Of their towns, sent
servants to show her articles Of old fam.

MRS. ESTE g. RATHBONE.

MRS. ESTE G. RATHBONE.
antique gems. These were offered to- the
| rich American at her own price. Under
protest the Cuban servants confessed
that the money was to keep their mis-.
tresses in proper food.
This incident opened Mrs. Rathbone's
| eyes to a condition Of things no Ameri-
! can woman had seen.
She went direct to Havana and talked
| with General Lee and other eminent
Americans there about the condition, and
| from that beginning organized the society
| called Ell Secorro, its object being to as
sist the INDECENT ladies Of the island.
Mrs. Rathbone found out from her in
| PRODUCTION into the plantation life of the
higher classes that these women were IA
| nous for their needlework. After the
Fourth Of July dinner given by the
| Americans in Havana there was q sum
| Of $145 left. Mrs.. Rathbone asked the
committee for this, and 1t was cheer
| fully given her.
With this money her society bough
material and distributed it personally
among the ladies In and around Ha-
vana who most needed money. When
| the needlework was finished. it was sent
to Mrs. Rathbone. The society then sold
it to any one who would buy. The Amer
lean element paid good prices for it, and
| the work is growing in scope and organi-
| cation.
The next best thing that Mrs. Rath-
bone has done Is to lend her executive
| ability for. the caring of the orphan chill
dren Of Cubans. Dozens of little starve-
| lings were dying every day for want Of
little food, some soap and water and a
woman's kindly hands. To give money
to the families was not to be assured that
the orphans would be taken care Of.
Again Mrs. Rathbone put her wits to
work, and under the guidance Of her
husband and Generals Lee and Wood
she organized the day Nursery, which is
now called the Lee home.
| In one room of this building is the
American employment bureau, and all
day long the Cuban women pour in here
! to get work. Mrs. Rathbone is the head
! of this home. She gives her personal at
tcntion each day to it and has enthused
her American sisters in Havana to do
the same thing.
This eminently good work should be
clearly distinguished from the Cuban or
phan fund. This orphan fund charity
| endeavors to gather children in one home
| from various sections.
The Red Cross spends no money for
building houses, but gathers up the chill.
dren OF each section or village, endeavor-
ing to interest men and women in that
especial locality to help all they can.
and the children thus provided for are
taught what it seems will benefit them
most when they take up the thread Of
life outside OF the asylum.
| Mrs RHthhOne has many methods in
establishing these homes, going from
place to place as best she may.
On her return to Havana size will make
trip through Santiago de Cuba (of
which place General Wood is governor)
on horseback and subsequently to Trini'
dad and other sections.

when the best showings are covered up
by snow, but he visited some of the finest
showings, and returns an enthusiast upon
the future of the camp.
"Once the snow goes off and there is a
chance for road building, it will be easy
to go into the Hump country. The grades
are easy and no trouble will be had in
constructing wagon and railroads. Sev-
eral wagon roads will undoubtedly be
constructed as soon as the snow is gone
