No Reconcentrados Now.
Jose Congosto Says, "God
Knows Where They Are
Gone"

New York, Sept. % Among the
passengers who arrived to-day on the
steamer City of Washington from
Habana were Dr. Jose Congosto and
Capt Fred Sharp, of the Merritt and
Chapman Wrecking company
The City of Washington brought
Al cabin passengers and a small car
60 composed chiefly of cigars and
tobacco. In an interview Congosto
said
"The evacuation of Cuba is {: mat.
ter of time, but when l left Habapa
everything was progressing well.
One of the causes of delay is the fact
that We have six thousand sick who
must be taken care of. I believe the
future of the island is a social prob
lem aud not political one 1t is
probable there will be large emigra
ton to the island and this emigration
may assist in solving the problem
There is great difficulty to be met in
view of the dangers from fever aud
climate !"
Cougosto was asked about the con.
dition of the reconcentrados
"There are no reconcentrados
now," he answered with smile
"What has become of them % was
the next question.
They're gone -

SANTIAGO CUBANS
SUCCEED SPANIARDS.
The New System OF civi' Gov.
ernment Estab ablished.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept 2i-The
system of civil government estab-
tsblished by Gen. Wood is practically
complete aud in good working order.
Major McCleary. formerly attorney
general for Texas, and a Spanish schol
ar. has been appointed mayor, and
the Spanish officials are given place
to Cubans Gen Wood says he does
ros know the capabilities Of the men
taking Office. They are chosen by a
committee Of fifty prominent Cubans,
whom be believes to be honest and
conscientious.
This committee recommends meD
whom its members think would be
Efficient in the various Offices to be
filed, The choice of men BY the
committee must be unanimous and
ssast be over signature Of the fifty
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, who has arrived here
from Mapzanillo, reports the condi
tions there worse than ever. The
Insurgents, ae asserts. refuse to grant
permission for carrying on of work
On the plantations. and the Spanish
officials decline to furnish protection
10 those desiring to work.
Senior Rigney declares that since
the cessation of hostilities the insur-
gents have con6scated his provisions
and destroyed a number of valuable
pictures, made his carpets into saddle
cloths, tore and tramp!ed curtains and
broke glasses worth $500 each They
are encamped in numbers at the sea
town Of Campechuela, where they
compel small vessels which fall into
their bands to hoist the Cuban flag.
The Cubaus earnestly request Gen.
Wood to send to Manzauillo food aud
clothing They declare there is
much suffering there, but private ad
vices received by Gen. Wood deny
absolutely the stories of destitution,
and declare that work is obtaiuable,
but that the Cubans wilt not work !;
and he has, therefore, refused to send
tho annnlies asked for.
William Stakeman, before the war
American consul at Manzani|lo, ar
rived here to day and paid visit to
Gen Wood He recounted many
lawless acts on the part of the insur
gents. who, he declares, demand
tribute from every one. terrorize
peaceful people and threaten the con
fscation of the property of merchants
and planters Many persons say that
the recognition of the Cubaus has
DOT been granted because the bandits
make work and progress impossible.
There is general feeling of alarm in
Nanzanilio over the departure of the
Spanish troops, and the American
soldiers are anx,ously awaited.
News received from Puerto Prln-
cspe is to the effect that there is
much sickness among the Spanish
troops
There are now 5000 Spanish sol.
diers 10 toe province, and fully half
of them are suffering from scurvy aud
dvsensery. The Cubans hold the
country and refuse to permit fresh
PROVISIONS to be carried to the cities.

and the large number in attendance
assures the success of the venture.
Everyone present was ready and will

talk, in which he stated that the pur-
pose of the organization was wholly
for the formation of musical society
and outside the study of good music
and giving a number Of concerts it had
no cause for existence. It had no social
functions and no social qualifications
would be demanded from it's members.

at Central Music Hall on each Monday
evening and the musical work will be-
gin next Monday night. The members

WILL PAVE STREETS.
NORTHWESTERN RY. co. WILL
OVERSTEP ITS CONTRACT.
MACADAM FOR W. MAIN sTEBT
And All Other Streets About the Station
Will Be Put in Excellent Condition by
the Proper Use of Gravel
and Macadam.

The Northwestern Railway Company
have always treated Kenosha in royal
manner, and today they begin work
which will add greatly to the beauty Of
the city in the neighborhood of their
depot and tracks, They will at once
begin work on the paving and repairing
of all the streets connected with their
station and tracks. West Main street
will be given special attention and will
be repaired almost in it's entirety by the
use of large amount of gravel. Be
tween Pearl and Rock streets the CON-
pany will put in a fine macadam road
and will have the effect of making what
is commonly called Railroad park
a beautiful drive connecting
the Market street and Grand a7enue
paving. In order to do this it will be
necessary to fill in Pearl street and
West street from Market street TO
Pearl street with gravel. Also the
little narrow street from Rock street to
Grand avenue will be put in excellent
condition. To further aid traffic to
and from the station Pearl street will
be built up with gravel from West Main
street east to Chicago street.
When this work is completed many
of the worst streets in the city will have
been put in splendid condition without
any expense whatever to the citizens
of Kenosha. The improvements will
be rushed to completion as soon as
possible, and all will be ready for traffic
before the cold weather sets in. The
road building will cost the company
about $4,000.
The paving is now we'll under way in
all parts of the city. On the Balm
drive the curb has been completed, and
all the sewer and gas connection has
so far progressed that the work of
putting on the crushed stone will begin
at once.
