HOPEFUL OUTLOOK AT HAVANA.
RiOtOus Spirit Seems to Have Ex-
hausted Itself

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Such information
as the state department has received as
to the situation in Havana is confirmatory
of the unofficial dispatches and shows that
quiet reigns in the city, and that the i'm
preston of the officials there that the
riotous spirit has either exhausted itself
for the time being or has been completely
suppressed by the strong hand of authori-
ty, is justified.
The situation was briefly alluded to in
the cabinet meeting to-day and was not
regarded as warranting any change in
the attitude of our government.
Minister de LONE has written the state
department denying the truth of the re-
port that the customs officials of Havana
have thrown obstacles in the way of land
ing the supplies sent from the United
States for the Cuban sufferers. The state
department is satisfied that regardless of
any difficulty that may have been expert
enced, there will be no trouble from now
on in promptly placing in Gen. Lees pos
session for immediate distribution any
supplies that reach Havana harbor in the
regular manner

CIVIL sERvIcE EXAMINATIONS.
Government Can Save SSOO,OOO a
Year in Clerk Hire.

Year in Clerk Hire,
Washington, Jan. 1S.-Civil Service Com
missioner John b. Harlow was before the
Senate civil service investigating commit
tee to-day and presented some interesting
statements in suggestions and reply. main
ly 10 questions on the subject submitted by
Senator Ell1ins, of the committee.
He sold that if all the government en-
ployes in the city were required to work
the fun seven hours day, as required by
law, IL would mean a gain Of 4,500 extra
hours day, with a saving approximate
ly Of $S00,030 a year for clerk hire. At
present the great bulk of employees work
six and a half hours. The gain outside of
Washington would not be in this proper
ton.
Commissioner Harlow believed many
millions of dollars would be saved If the
departments were managed like the aV-
erage business house or corporation.
The nearer the government approaches
TO the eight-hour law for employees, ex-
cept where great mental exertion is re-
quired, the less reason will people In pub
lie employ have for being dissatisfied
with their own condition." he said.
