All members of the city council with the
exception Of Mr. Mort were present at the
meeting last night. Trainor started the
session by Offering a resolution pertaining
TO the north car track on @ street. He
wanted cars to run on this line or else
| have the track taken up This track was
! laid last fan and It was stated at the time
that the intention was to operate two cars
on the line so as to give the Third ward
people and the packing house employees bet
| ter transportation facilities. As far as is
known not a car has been run over the new
tracks and Trainor asserted that they were
nuisance. Barrett made the statement
that both the q street and Albright stub
lines were nuisances the way they were
operated now. He thought 1t would be a
good idea to have a committee wait upon
the street car people for the purpose of
seeing what can be done toward lettering
the suburban service.
Kelly did not like the tenor of Trainor's
resolution and he suggested to lay 1t on the
table. After amending tho original resolu-
tion several times the question came to
vote and all the amendments as well as the
original resolution were last. 1t is under
stood that some steps will be taken shortly
to have the stub line service improved.
An ordinance amending tho fire limit ordi-
nance was introduced and passed under "a
suspension of the rules.
Barrett wanted a culvert placed at the in
tersection of Fifteenth and Madison streets
in order to make the streets at his point
passable. Some little discussion followed
and it was finally referred to the committee
on streets and alleys.
After Clerk Carpenter had read the
amended milk ordinance through 1t was
discovered that the ordinance should have
been reported on by the judiciary committee
first and so the clerks labors went for
naught.
Under the head of reports Clerk Carpenter
reported twenty-six births and twenty eight
deaths during the month Of February. In
spector Montague reported all the dairies in
good condition and tests made of milk
showed it to be up to the standard estab-
lished Treasurer Broadwell stated that
there was a balance on hand of $Si,227 at
the close of business January 81. In Chief
Carroll's report he showed that the street
arc lights had been out S5S hours during
February. Superintendent Button of the
light company took exception to these hgures
and asserted that his instruments showed a
loss of only 551 hours. He protested
against the council deductng any more
than his record showed from the bills.
Mary Henan, through her attorney, j. }.
Breen filed claim for damages on account
of personal injuries alleged to have been
received by reason of defective sidewalk
near the corner of Twenty-fourth and .
streets on February 5. At the suggestion OF
Mayor Ensor a special committee composed
of Kelly. Bennett and Trainor was ap-
pointed to investigate the claim.
Treasurer Broadwell made request 1or
an expert to check UP his books and the
matter was referred to the finance COM
mttee.
February bills and salaries were allowed
and an adjournment was taken until next
Monday night.

WIDE FIELD FOR CHARITY
Complexities of the Government Of Havana
as Seen by Ludlow.
THOUSANDS OF ORPHANS AND WIDOWS
Appeals Especially on BehaIf OF the
Quiet, Suffering Women to See
IL Women of the states Cam
not Help the Destitute.

NEW YORK March S.--Brigadier General
| William Ludlow, governor of Havana, has
written lengthy letter to the Evening Post
describing minutely the conditions in the
Cuban capital and appealing for assistance
for Cuban charities.
General Ludlow refers to the local ad-
| ministration of Havana as a SERIOUS and
| laborious task" Touching especially on the
task of keeping Havana clean, General Lud-
/ low writes that cleaning and sanitation are
! carried on under every difficulty of a
century's accumulation of evils, a deficiency
of material, inadequate personnel and a
paucity and uncertainty as to funds which
are derived from weekly and monthly
| acquisitions on the variable custom house
collections, thus multiplying the uncertain
! ties and veXations of the task"
The destitute, he says, "are found in
greater numbers in Havana than in the
! provinces"
In this department" writes the gov
ernor, which includes the city of Havana
and It's suburban region west, south and
east, between the rivers Almendares and
Collmar, the destitute drawing rations ap-
proxmate 100000 who for the present must
| be fed or permitted to starve
Employment of the able-bodied males on
street cleaning collection of garbage, street
repairs, road cleaning and dsinfection Of
large buildings and military structures and
| the like work, has constituted an immense
| assistance in this respect by enabling the
| 1000 or 5000 employees to feed themselves
and those Immediately dependent upon
them, but there Is still a very large resi-
dunn, for whom at present occupation can
not be furnished

Twenty Thousand Idle.

at Is one of the distressing features that
a general proportion of the destitute are
women and children, whose men have died
or been killed in the waste of war, while
20, 900 or 10000 more are still aggregated as
an army practically idle and dependent upon
the country for their maintenance instead OF
being at work earning their living and sup
porting their families. 1t is most impossi-
be 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."
The charitable institutions of Havana,
General Ludlow declares to be quite made
quate to meet the emergency. He cites as
an instance the Casa de Las Vegas (home Of
the widows) a large structure in the capital,
occupied by the widows Of Spanish Of
ficers. OF this institution General Ludlow
says:
Upon assuming direction of affairs here
It was found that the pensions of these
women had not been paid for over year
and they had been left behind when the
Spanish forces abandoned the island, abso-
lutely without the means of obtaining food
There are present in the home total OF
over 200 of all ages, seventy women, ninety
girls and fifty boys, who are almost all en-
tirely destitute, and from prolonged
course OF semi-starvation and the absence
of medical or other supplies are deploraby
reduced and have much sickness among
them.
| Totally Unable to Help Themselves.
"It can be imagined how this aggregation
| of quiet, gentle, suffering and almost
silent, GLASS appeals to the sympathies
Many Of them are well-born, accomplished
| and educated, totally unable to do anything
| for themselves, as ignorant as children as to
| means of support. They profess themselves
and in many cases doubtless with sincerity
willing to do any work, even the toughest,
but without any qualifications they would
be practically useless to an employer. They
could teach, perhaps, but the schools are
not open to them. They are alien to the
community in which they are compelled to
live, with comparatively few friends. and
those few unable to deal effectively for
their relief"
To meet the needs of these women General
Ludlow suggests that IAN association Of
women in the states might take account Of
the matter and perfect arrangements by
which the institution should be otherwise
maintained than as a temporary military
exigency." There are numerous kindly
disposed and charitable people in Havana
who are busily engaged in charitable work
with the sick and the orphans, but their
means are quite inadequate and assistance
would be galdly received from the chari-
taby disposed in the United States.
The governor concludes by saying that
Mrs Ludlow, who has taken strong inter-
est in the matter, would be very glad to re-
ceive any communications on the subject or
receive contributions of food, clothing or
money as might be forwarded.
