neXes are in fact, the main concerns.
Their managers expect to do a rush
ing business. One of the leading bank
erS IS understood to be the proprietor
of the game which is patronized by
wealthy New Workers who go to Long
Branch and Saratoga in summer. The
Spanish proprietOrs were at first doubt
full about putting their places in the
hands of the Americans. They thought
trouble might arise with the military
authorities after the flag was floating
from Moro castle. They We're assured
that all this had been arranged The
first business of the American military
commander of Havana will be to show
that it had not been arranged
When the details of the Spanish
evacuation were first arranged some
anxiety was felt lest a large number of
the Spanish commercial and Industrial
classes should also repatriate them
selves. This fear has not been realized.
Whatever doubts the Spanish business
men may have had about the security
of life and property under the new order
were quickly dissipated.
They found the guarantee of the
United States sufficient, and they dis
cover that the transition period is
fraught with less disturbance than
might have been naturally expected. In
a few places in the interior of the is
land, where the Spaniards were few in
number, they dread to remain in the
midst of Cubans who show an unfriend-
ly spirit. Some are coming to Havana
and others are going back to Spain. At
Manzanillo the greater part of the
Spanish colony is said to be starting
for Mexico. But these are exceptional
instances. AS a rule, wherever a Span
ish commercial house is closing up, it's
business has been dependent on the Of
fetal system. With the end of that sys-
tenn no other course is open.
That a. vacuum exists in Havana is
a patent fact. More people are going
out than are likely to come in for many
months. The rottenness of the Spanish
military methods could be judged dur
ing the instruction by the great num-
Der of officers who were always in Ha
vana on staff duty. The disprOpOrtion
to those who in any circumstances were
seeing active service in the field was
excessive. Since the officers have gone
the void created by their departure
gives even a stronger impression of
their numbers. They were literally the
only class of the population which was
too numerous to be counted. The void
is one which will not be filed. The
American garrison Will be kept out of
Havana. American officers will not be
quartered in the city and spread over
it like a cloud of locusts.
