NoKodaIxs Allowed
It is the policy of the Spanish authori-
ties to suppress everything that illustrates
the condition of affairs In Cuba. A careful
search to- obtain photographs OF the peo-
pie or of any event connected with the war
was fruiuess. The use of kodaks is re-
stricted, u nerahitted at all Views of the
tomb of Columbus and the monument
erected on the spot where he landed are
freely offered for sale.
The morning after the Maine explosion
an energetic photographer took some very
good views of. the wreck, but the authori-
ties very soon suppressed his traffic, and
he retired with a generous stock Oh GOOD
photographs, although there was great
demand for them and fabulous prices were
offered.
1t seems to a stranger in Havana that
one-half of the population are engaged IN
selling lottery tickets. They are offered
you by all classes, ages and sexes. They
are hung on hooks in elevators, and the
boy or man in charge of the lift suggests
that you invest Almost every store can
supply you IL you want them. Half-clad
men, women and children importune you
in Spanish to help them out. The wonder
is where all these wretched people get the
money to start in business. Possibly they
sell on commission. but 1t must take II
great deal of confidence to trust them on
the streets with so much valuable prop
erty.

One Horse vlctorias
There are few lines of street cars with
mules for motive power. The charge is
ten cents, and travel by this method Is
naturally somewhat restricted. When the
war is over there ought to be a grand op-
portunity for enterprising Americans to
put in q first-class trolley system with
five cent fares. The fayorite means of
transportation in the city is by their one
horse victorias, of which there are thous-
ands, and they will carry two persons
from one point to another within the city

money, equal in value to fourteen cents

There is a commendable absence of
drunkenness in Havana. 1 saw but one
person intoxicated, and he was hanging
around the American consulate, asking
assistance. He was an American, I am
ashamed to say. His story was that he

American sailor had been abused by the
Spanish, to prove which he showed me the
