dags inside the lines Of Spanish jurisdiction,
Stripes and the lone star Of Cuba floated
over many buildings in the heart Of the city
and In streets where the Spanish soldiers
still keep guard. The only buildings ex-
cepted in the order are government offices.
Havana is, therefore, bright with color and
fire crackers are being exploded on the
streets and plazas.
Fear Of the Spaniards disappeared with
thousands of hage secretly made by the
women of the households or clandestinely
purchased from adventurous peddlers. Robt.

HANNA HAS HOPE
That Subsidies Will Revive the
Merchant Marine

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. Ex-senator
Hanna believes that his bill for the pro.
lection of the American merchant marine
will be passed during the present session of
Congress. The bill provides that subsidies
shall be paid to certain freight-carrying yes
sells built in America.
II think the merchant marine interests
of the United States should be given pro-
lection, as well as the steel interests, for
instance" said Senator Hanna. Here we
are exporting steel to all parts of the world,
and especially to England, simply because
we have given that industry protection.
Several generations ago the American mer-
chant marine would compare favorably with
the commerce-carrying vessels Of other
countries, but in later years we have been
dropping behind until at present only six
per cent of the American freight is carried
in American bottoms. The cause for this
condition lies largely in the fact that Eng
land, Germany, France and the other Eur
opean countries have protected maritime
interests by granting the vessel companies
subsidies. The only natural thing for us to
do, if we wish to build up our maritime in
terests, is to do the same thing"

NEW YORK, Dec. ga correspondent
At Nusvitas, Cuba, who writes TO- The New
York Times, says:
The last Of the Spanish forces in this, the
province of Puerto Principe, have left and the
Fifteenth Unitsd States Infantry has ar
rived. Our flag has been raised with much
ceremony by two daughters Of the Alcalde,
q Cuban, formerly of the autonomist govern
ment, who was reappointed by General Car
penter, governor of the province.
Yellow fever and typhoid are said not
to exist here, though severe malaria pre-
walls. The soldiers are provided with large
hospital tents and cots. The tents are be-
ing fioored. The extremely dense, impen-
etrablc underground on the hill where the
camp II situated was cut down by ex-Cuban
soldiers with their machetes, the great
closely resembling in appearance the holly,
rendering it dangerous for our men to do
the work. The Cubans, however, are fear
less, although showing the effects in ter.
usually found growing near the. guano is
claimed ia be an antdote for the poison.
Several of the men have been bitten by
scorpions, but the insects here do not seem
to be as dangerous as elsewhere. A few
drops Of ammonia, applied to the stings re-
move further trouble.
This province is especially valuable as
male were killed off during the war. There
are many large plantations sadly injured
by hostilities. The owners, however, are
now busy rebuilding machinery and plant
ing, and the rich soil, with American money,
farm implements and industry, will very
toon show the richest sort OF country.
Lands are cheap, s35 being the price for
cultivate them and the ways of the country
must be learned.
The town of Nuevitas is old and quaint
and dirty, the Spanish garrison. giving no
attention to sanitation, or indeed, any
cleaning Of the streets or barracks. This
will be attended to hereafter by the army
officers in cooperation with the Alcalde,
been allotted by General Carpenter for the
needed work. As the American dollar is
worth from 35 to 45 per cent premium on
Spanish silver and labor is obtainable at
81 per day in the latter currency, much may
be accomplished when there is no waste al
lowed. Living expenses are high. Eggs
cost to 10 cents each; meat, principally
gallon; rum rs cents quart. Oranges and
lines are cheap and bananas are very cheap,
but danserousto our people.
The only style of carriage in town is the
OK cart, and bicycle could not be ridden
ten feet.
There 10 very much suffering among the
people Of the province from want of food
We are completely cut off from communi
cation with the United States. There is
no regular mail and the soldiers have re-
ceived no htter since leaving Savannah,
December I. There is no telegraph, except
to Puerto Principe, % miles distant.
