Havana.
General Appeal to He Issued to the
People of This Conn-

The executive committee of the National
Red Cross Society held an important meet
ing this morning at the headquarters OF
the society in the Washington Loan and
Trust Building. For some time past plans
have been discussed for enlarging the work
of the society in Cuba and the Philippines.
At the meeting yesterday it was definitely
decided to put the plans formulated at pre-
vious meetings into execution.

der Kent who was in charge of the Red
Cross station at Jacksonville during the
recent war; DR.. j. G. Hubbell. c. II. II.

the society is about TO inaugurate.
About $50 tons of hospital supplies will
be sent by the Ward Line steamer leaving
New York Wednesday for Havana. me
party will be joined at Havana by DR.. j. b.

that city last summer. IeoFBe W. fiSall,
who had charge OF the station OF the So
ciety at Key West last summer and spring
| and who at present is in Cuba, will also
aid in furthering the work when the party
reaches Havana.
For more than a month the reports from

In the Philippines.

The hospital work in the Philippines is

ment of the Red Cross of California. and
the auxiliary societies of the Pacific Coast.
Should the operations of the American ar
my continue the force of the Red Cross
will be extended as the necessity demands.
Should the extension be demanded il will
be necessary to raise additional funds, but
no difficulty is anticipated in this direction
when the suffering condition of the SOL

Shipping stations.

II the present plans are carried out, ship
ping stations will be soon established at
Savannah, New Orleans, and Tampa, and
receiving agencies at st. Louis, New York.
and Savannah A call has been issued to
the people of the United States, setting
forth the plans of the society in establish
ing and maintaining the hospital service
in Cuba and requesting funds for carrying
out the good work These circulars will be
sent TO all parts of the country in the en- =
deayor to arouse the interest of the people
in the work to secure their cooperation in
donating the needed supplies. The society
is confident that no trouble will be met in
securing the desired aid, and is most san
guine that as the service is extended in
Cuba the fruits of the labor about to be
undertaken viii make themselves unmis-
takably apparent. Preparations will be
made in the establishment OF the service to
meet the demands which will probably be
made as soon as the yellow fever season
opens. Secretary Cobb OF the executive
committee of the national organization
stated TO a Times reporter this morning
that there is already some uneasiness in
Havana over the yellow fever situation.
Branches to BE Formed
An invitation will shortly be issued to
the auxiliary societies which have worked
in conjunction with the main organization
since the beginning of the war last year.
These societies have proven themselves
to be practicable bodies, and have greatly
aided the operations of the national socie-
ty There has been a desire repeatedly ex-
pressed from different parts of the coun-
try to make these auxiliary bodies part
of the national society. The executive
committee has considered this proposition
with favor and has decided to complete
the amalgamation as soon as the present
work is we'll under way. After this is done
it is proposed to form brauch organizations
under the direction of the national society
all over the country, in every city and
| town where the suggestion is favorably re-
