Lieut. Bloant TO Codify Lava.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept 2s-The
system Of civil government estab-
lished BY Gen. Wood is practically
complete and in good working order.
Maj McCleary, formerly attorney gen.
eral for Texas and q Spanish scholar,
has been appointed mayor, and the
Spanish officials are giving place to
Cubans. Gen. Wood says he does not
know the capabilities OF the men TAX.
ing Office. They are chosen by com i.
mittee OF so prominent Cubans whom
he believes TO be honest and conscien.
tious The committee recommends
men whom its members think would
be efficient in the various offices to be
filed. The choice OF men by the COM
mittee must be unanimous and must
be made over the signatures Of the en-.
tire 80 members. Gen. Wood finds
that the plan works admirably. Lieut..
Blount has been appointed to codify
the Cuban laws
Senior Rigney. one of the largest
sugar planters in Cuba, who has ar.
rived here from Manzanillo, reports
the conditions there worse than ever.
The insurgents, he asserts, refuse to
grant permission for the carrying on
OF work on the mutations, and the
Spanish officials decline to furnish pro.
lection to those desiring to work.
Senior Rigney declares that since the
cessation of hostilities the insurgents
have confscated his possessions and
destroyed number OF valuable pic.
lures, made his carpets into saddle
cloths. torn and trsmpled curtains
and broken glasses worth $500 each.
They are encamped in numbers at the
sea town Of Camprebuela, where they
compel small vessels which fall into
their hands to hoist the Cuban fac.
What archives the Spaniards left
have been removed to Gen. Woods Of.
fee In the palace.
The Cubans earnestly request Gen.
Wood TO send to Msnzsnillo food and
clothing. They declare there Is much
suffering, but private advices received
by Gen. Wood deny absolutely the sto-
ries OF restitution and declare that
work is obtainsble, but that the Gu
bans will not work. and he has, there
fore, refused to send the supplies
asked for.
William Stakeman. before the war
American consul at Manzanillo, arrived
here yesterday and visited Gen. Wood.
He recounted many lawless acts on
the part Of the insurgents, who, he
declares, demand tribute from every
one, terrorize peaceful people and
threaten the confscation OF the prop
erty Of merchants and planters. Many
persons say that the recognition Of the
Cubans has not been granted because
the bandits make work and progress
impossible. There is ageneral feeling
Of alarm in Manzanillo over the de.
parture Of the Spanish troops and
the American troops are anxiously
awaited.
Gen. Wood has asked permission
from the Washington government to
appoint Demetrio Castillo special chief
of his Cuban staff to represent him in
dealing with the Cuban insurgents in
the country districts.
