''Th chief part of the work done by
the Red Cross in Cuba at present is
the caring for the orphans of the re-
concentrates left without parents or
friends by the late war. There are
over 5000 orphans in Havana and
these are being cared for by the Red
Cross Society until something can be
done to improve the present condition"

been in circulation for weeks that she
would relinquish the executive man

is now as good as it ever was. and

PARLIAMENT PROROGUeD.
The Queens Speech Thanks Commons Tor
Generous Naval and military Defence.

London, Aug. 9.-Parliament was
prorogued. at o'clock this afternoon
by royal commission. The House OF
Lords met and summoned the Com
mons to the bar and the proceedings
terminated with the reading of tn,
Queens speech. The speech contained
the following statements:
My Lords and Gentlemen-My rela-
tons with the others powers continue
friendly.
The conference summoned by the
Emperor of Russia to consider meas
ures for promoting the maintenance OF
peace has completed its sittings. Al
though the result of its deliberations
did not fully correspond with the lofty
aims which it was summoned to ac-
complish. it has met with Il considera-
bic measure of success The institu-
tion Of permanent tribunal OF arbi-
tration cannot fail to diminish the fire.
quenCy Of war. while the extension of
the Geneva convention will mitigate its
horrors"
After Il reference to the conclusion
of the Anglo French convention on the
subject Of the Nile valley and the An
glo-l{ussan convention in regard to
railway enterprises in China, the
speech continued:
We have received Il petition from a
considerable number of my subjects
residing in the South African republic
praying my assistance To obtain re-
mOval of grievances and disabilities OF
which they complain. The position of
my subjects in the South African re-
public is inconsistent with the promise
of equal treatment Whcreon my grant
of internal independence TO that repub-
lie was founded and the unrest caused
thereby is constant source of danger
to the peace and prosperity of my do
minions in South Africa. Negotiations
on this subject with the government
of the South African republic have
been entered into and are still pro-
ceedinsS." Another paragraph deals
with the satisfactory reports Of the re-
covery Of the agriculture and trade Of
India from the depression caused by
the famine. but it adds:
Fears are now entertained Of the
failure Of the harvests in western and
central India. owing TO insufficient
rainfall. though the officials are taking
timely precautions to meet any scar
city"
The speech then reads Il regret to
add that the plague. though stin con
fined TO the total of 1879 areas affected
during the winter. shows 50 sign Of
abatement"
The speech thanks the Commons for
the liberaiity which they have provid-
ed for the naval and military defence
of the empire. and concludes with ref
crences TO the benefits which may be
expected from the domestic legislation
passed.
