HAVANA POLICE FORCE
ENTER UPON THEIR WORK.
The Homeless Are Provided With Shelter
While the Criminals Are Put TO Work
Sweeping the Streets OF the City.


NEW YORK. jar. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says: The po-
lice authorities have begun the moral
sanitation OF Havana. Vans have been
provided and last night. after midnight,
they made the rounds OF the city. pick
ing uD vagrants aud homeless persons.
Since the time OF the RECOMMENDATION
the parks and portlcos have been filled
nightly with these unfortunates. a few
OF whom are criminals. II has been one
OF the distressing features OF the prevail
ing conditions for which no remedy was
found.
Under the Cuban-American admlnistra-
ton. the building known as the San
Isidore asylum has been obtained as a
shelter. Persons picked up in the streets
are taken there and provided with lodging
and food. II they are able to labor
they are turned over to the municipal
public works and are put to work sweep
Ing the streets. For this they are paid
20 cents a day. Those unable to work
who are the larger class. are provided
for at San Isidore and in the hospitals.
In a short time 1t is expected that the
streets viii be cleared entirely OF these
people Provision is also made for the
care OF the srehins who are without
homes In San Jose asylum. Formerly
this asylum had a manual training
school. and this will be revived. Some
forms OF vice which have been demoral-
iZing to children beggars and which
,VauId ,or,. v-itbtn tha ,,.n,.t,c. 80 eha
Gerry Society, Ss New York. have also
been taken hold of by the police auth
critics with beneficial results.
Jose Miro. former inspector OF po-
lice and later captain of Spanish guer-
rillas, has written a letter to the ihsur-
gent Colonel Alfredo Arrange, in which
he gives particulars OF police practices
He says that under Spanish officials doc
uments were regularly forged to convicts
and for this purpose a special stamp was
made and special paper prepared for forg-
ing the documents. He gives the names
OF the chief OF police and inspectors by
whose connivance this was done. Among
them are Cubans as well as Spanlards.
Miro says that, while the criminals were
deported, false Nanigoism was estab-
lished which was used as means of
deporting Cuban political prisoners
Miro's letter is in the nature OF a confess
sion. The degree OF credence to be given
II is uncertain. What he says of the de-
portation of Cuban political prisoners
as Nanigoes is known to be true
Other allegations AFFECT persons who are
seeking employment on the present police
force. AS General Menocal is the head
of the police force. he is in position to
utilize whatever is true in Niro's state
ments regarding individuals.

WASHINGTON. Jan is-Commlssary-
General Eagan today sent 10 the war In
yontgation commission revised state
mcnt IN place OF that originally made IN
response 10 Miles charges The revised
statement Is about % por cent shorter
than that which was ordered Withdrawn
because OF lts violent and abusive char
acter. The commission went into secret
session TO read the document and decide
whether. In is present form. It has been
cxpurgated sufficiently to permit II to
be made part OF the commission rec
Ords.
Accompanying Egan's revised state
ment was letter from the eommlssary-
general IN which he disclalms any in
tention IN his former testimony Of dis
respect 10 the commission. The writer
In excuse for his vituperauve language
states that he had been placed before the
whole country a5 a man who fed the
army on poisoned meat He says Il is
out natural that whsn proper opportunity
was given him 10 meet and refute the
charges he should characterize them IN
harsh language and in terms that are
deemed improper, no matter what the
provocaton. He concludes;
Il therefore withdraw the language and
matter so Objectionable, and resubmlt
to you a sworn statement. with abiding
faith that your commission having all
the facts before It viii decide the points
at issue justly"
The commission. after a brief secret
session. decided for the present to make
public only Eagan's letter and not the
statement accompanying It.
