energy, traffic and general activity.
The immense sheds along the water
front are already packed with mer-
chandise, and the large stores rented
along Marina street are busy receiving
goods which are being steadily unload
ed. Everywhere there are signs of a
revival of commercial activity and
prosperity.
The change in the appearance of the
city is Kaleidoscope and a couple OF
DAYS, when further shipments arrive,
will suffice for the normal business to
revive.
The trades and business houses
opened their doors for the first time to-
day, cleared their warehouses and
made ready for the receipt of goods.
All the stores are open this morning
oy Gen. McKibben's orders, but the
saloons remain closed for the present.
The electric light plant is working.
The pawnshops are doing a rushing
business, their counters being crowded
oy people of all sorts of color and con-
l~itions, pawning h~eirlooms, clothes,

Officers tender their medals and
swords and civil employees offer their

office for a mere song, which are in
urn bought at fancy prices by Ameri-
IAN soldiers, officers or newspaper men
