Havana is at the halfway stage between
the departure Of the Spaniards and the coming
Of the Americans The city looks lonesome
II is not desolate. because hopefulness and desc
lation do not go together. and everybody Is
hopeful OF the future. Trade is not orisK oe-
cause except in breadstuffs, there are no I'M
pOrtatons That will be changed as soon as the
new tariff goes into effect. In the retail districts
occupied by the middle classes fair amount
Of business is done
A walk through those sections shows more
activity than there was TWO months ago. This
is due TO the return Of so many Cuban families.
In what would be called the shopping district
Of the city-such as Obispo-st. which is the
Fifth-ave Of Havana-nothing is doing Never
theless, the Spanish shopkeepers are compla-
cent. They prefer period OF dulness for
single reason The families Of the Spanish ON
GERS and officials were good customers. but were
not good pay The tradesman dreaded their
patronage and sought 10 eyade 1t as much as
nossbla Neither were the Cubans good pay,
hu. credit could be refused them without fear
OF tho consequences. The Americans are com
ing; they are at the same time good customers
and good pay. So the shopkeeper is content
with the present dulness In his trade.
The city feels the departure Of so many Span
ish families in a way. They helped 10 give IL
life few weeks ago 1t was almost Impossible
10 rent a house In any respectable quarter OF
the city. Cubans, chiefly professional men, re-
turning from their exile in the United states
and Europe had leased them. NOW In the
subtf5s the number OF houses which are closed
and barred gives these places the appearance OF
a deserted town. They have been occupied by
both military and civil officials who are return
