BUSINESS REvlvING IN CUBA.
Capitalists are Investing and Confidence Among
Merchants Has Been Restored.

Brig. Gen. II. w. Lawton of the mill
tary department of Eastern cuba, ar
rived I'm New York Thursday, accom-
panied by his aides. The general, who
has been granted leave of absence
for go days on account of ilI-health,
looked fairly well and said that the
voyage had done him a great deal OF
good. He will make an extensive re-
port OF the condition of affairs In the
department of which he had charge
while In cuba. Speaking of the con-
dition OF affairs in Santiago and other
portions OF Eastern Cuba Gen. Lawton
said:
The general situation is good, and
Gen. Wood. who is now i'm charge. is
rushing the sundry work to completion
as fast as possible. The people down
there claim that in the history of SAN
tiago the city was never so clean as II
IL at the present time. Business Is re-
viving also and confidence among busi-
ness men Is almost completely restor-
ed. Capitalists are now investing
money. The people have accepted the
United states government with the ut
most confidence"
When asked as to the feeling in gem
eral about annexation the general
looked quizzically at his questioner
and said he was not prepared TO talk
about that matter just now. He added
however:
The great trouble is that the Cub
ans have an army. However. the great
majority of the Cuban troops are anx-
ious to disband. I was fortunate In
having portions of the Cuban army
under me. and was on intimate and
most friendly terms with Gen. Calixto
Garcia. This friendship brought about
a very much better state of feeling
between the American troops and
those In Garcia's command than had
existed before.
mo serious breach of the peace and
no robberies have been reported as
having occurred I'm Eastern Cuba.
Many of the Cuban soldiers are grad
ually leaving the army and returning
to civil occupations"

Ceremonies-Work Of the Evacuation
Commission Now Over.

Promptly at noon Tuesday the Ame-
rlcan flag was raised over San Juan,
Porto Rico. The ceremony was quiet
and dignified, unmarried by disorder OF
any kind.
The Eleventh regular infantry with
two batteries OF the Fifth artillery,
landed In the morning. The latter
proceeded to the forts, while the infan-
try lined upon the docks. II was
holiday for San Juan and there were
many people In the streets.
Rear Admiral Schley and Gen. Cor
don, accompanied by their STATS,
proceeded to the palace in carriages.
The Eleventh infantry regiment band,
with Troop ii of the Sixth United
States cavalry, then marched through
the streets and formed In the square
opposite the palace.
AT last the city clock struck the hour
OF IL, and the crowds, almost breath
less and with eyes fixed upon the flag
pole, watched for Developments. AT
the sound OF the first gun from Fort
MORO Maj Dean and Lieut.. Castle of
Gen. Brooke's staff hoisted the Stars

The work OF the United States eva
cuation commission is now over, and
all the reports will be forwarded to
Washington on Thursday next. The
labors OF both parties have terminated
with honors for all concerned. The
American commissioners worked with
out the least delay and in the most
thorough and effective manner.
The secretary or war received the
following: San Juan. October 49,
Flags have been raised on public build
ings In this city and saluted with ma
tional salutes. The occupation of the
island is now complete. Brooke, chair
man."
In view of the fact that with the ac-
QUESTION OF the island of Porto Rico by
the United States, about 100000 inhab-
itants of that island lost their Spanish
citizenship, the question as to what
shall become of these people politically
becomes OF Importance. Madrid ad-
viccs report that leading citizens in
Porto Rico have already taken steps
to become naturalized as United States
citizens. This is an error for existing
law provides no way in which this
change of citizenship can be effected
by the residents of the island. There
is no United States court there before
which declaration of intention can be
filed.
Inquiry into this subject at the state
department discloses the fact that Il
has been usual to provide for a bodily
transfer of the citizenship Of people
conditioned as those in Porto Rico in
the treaty of peace which terminates
a war, but 1t may be prudent for the
commission at Paris to avoid any re-
ference to Porto Rico again. in which
case congress will be called upon by
the president to confer citizenship
upon the Porto Ricans in the same act
as that which must be passed to pro-
vide a stable form of government for
the island.

WARRING ABoRIGINES.
Natives Of Formosa Attempt to Rid the Land Of
the Japanese.

The steamship Victoria brings news
that two more battles have been
fought i'm Formosa between Japanese
troops and the natives, who seem bent
upon exterminating all the japanese
on the island. Europeans and num-
bers of Chinese merchants are fleeing
to Annoy by every steamer.
One thousand aborigines attacked
and set fire to one of the principal
japanese military stations. After eight
hours desperate fighting the natives
retreated. In this battle more than 200
were killed. On the following day a
large band of natives advanced to
