HAVANA December -. 1898.
Havana is beginning to show the presence
of Americans, both soldiers and civilians.
The troops are kept in the background as
much as possible. The camps at Marianoa
and the other suburbs are visited by many
persons. The soldiers who come into town
under orders surreptitiously find no signs
that they are not wanted. 1t is within
week of the complete control by the United
States, and have heard of no instance III
which i'll feeling has been shown by the
Spaniards. The military occupation prom
ises to take place without the slightest fric-
ton. At present the American civilians arc
of more moment than the troops. The army
will leave some day. In the future that
seems opening for Cuba a large number of
Americans who are not in the army will
stay. If the circumstances do not encour-
age them to remain, the island will hardly
have a future.
Voyagers from the United States are
made to feel at home within two minutes
after their landing at the Machina wharf.
1t is a fellow countryman who touches his
cap and says in d half wheediing. half
threatening voice: Say, boss. let me have
five cents, won't YOU This beggar
has driven away the reconcentradoes ana
the professionals who formerly accosted
strangers He allows no invasion of his
territory. Uptown and at the hotels the
same disregard of the rights of the native
mendicants is shown. Sometimes it is the
sailor in distress. sometimes the stranded
colored citizen who makes the levy by viz
tue of the common country. These Amerl-
can beggars are wonder TO the Latin
mendicants. The latter have a pride in
their profession, but they cannot practice
it without disgusting servility. The Amer
lean who has come to Havana to- beg is bold
and confident. He knows what it is to live
in a free country
