HA VANA A YEAR AFTER.
CHANGES SINCE THE DECLARATION OF
WAR AGAINST SPAIN
THE CUBAN CAPITAL-A SWOLLEN ARMY
LIST-EXODUs OF AMERICANS.


fBY CABLE TO TRIBUNE.l
Havana, April 22-Little notice is taken in
the press here OF the anniversary Of the Ameri-
declaration of against Spain and the
beginning of the Cuban blockade nor is any
noteworthy comment made on the extraordinary
changes which have occurred since Admiral
Simpsons ships appeared Off the harbor a year
ago. To the average Havana mind the most
concrete fruits Of American intervention are the
altered outward aspect OF the city and the thor
ough and painstaking work done toward Its
publication from infection Though hopelessly
divided as to all other results Of American occu-
patton Havana opinion is unanimous In ap-
plauding the reforms undertaken by Major Da-
Wis and the Sanitary Bureau. These reforms
have been intensely practical. and have enlisted
the hearty cooperation of all classes Of citizens;
so much so that scarcely day passes which
does not bring dozens Of voluntary appeals and
suggestions from tenants and neighbors VINO
want to enjoy the benefits Of rigid sanitary In
specton. This striking contrast with conditions
a year ago is made the topic OF cordial edi-
torial in one of the leading newspapers to-day
Another journal. with more imagination than
industry. reported this morning that the Amer
leans had tremendously observed the anniver-
sary Of the declaration Of war by firing salute
from Cabanas Fortress. 1t turns out however
that the salute was fired from the Resolute In
honor OF an official visit made to that vessel
yesterday by General Ludlow.
MUSTER ROLLS TO BE REVISED.
Governor General Brooke is understood to be
highly dissatisfied with the lists made up at
Vedado Of the Cuban soldiers entitled to share
In the 900 fund provided by the United
States. The total of names carried on the
roll is 1890 while II is clear that the Cuban
forces actually under arms during the insur-
recton at time reached that formidable fig
ure. 1t is said that another revision will proba-
bly, be ordered which will exclude from
share in the arreareges all soldiers not actually
in :he field before. the United States declared
war against Spain. II is hoped to cut down the
list to something like 10000 men. and thus to
increase proportionately the allotment to each
man who really fought against the Spaniards.
The exodus of Americans from Cuba con-
tinues. Most Of the higher officers have already
sent their families home in anticipation Of the
approach Of the rainy season. The Ward Line
steamers for the last two weeks have been over
crowded with passengers, and the supply ship
Comal will sail tomorrow with many guests
from official and civil life. Major John Gary
Evans, Ex-Governor Of South Carolina and
Provost Marshal Of Havana, will go on the Comal
to be mustered out after reaching home. The
English edition of La Lucha' says that five
cases OF yellow fever have developed within the
week. The details Of only one case have been
reported however. No deaths have resulted so
far from this disease.

Those who We're Slightly Injured.

Very near to tragedy was the ncci-
dent on the Wheeling s. Elm Grove

morning at IL o'clock, when an open
summer car left the track and dumped
the fifteen or more passengers together
with the conductor and motorman.

car hung on the verge. missing going
down upon the struggling mass OF hu-
manity Mt the foot Of the embankment.
by very slight margin. Had the car
followed Its passengers there would
have been terrible tragedy.
The accident occurred on the curve
tolls side OF Leatherwood station, Just
beyond the Iron bridge that crosses tho
Woods run fork OF Wheeling creek.
The car wns coming to the city, with
Motorman syivis ut the lever. The car
struck the curve at such high speed
that 1t toppled over at SO great an angle
that the occupants were precipltated
from their seats In an IndiscrIminate
mass down the embankment. Fortu-
nately, as stated above, the car did not
follow, but remained partially on the
ties.
Several persons received minor injur-
les, among them the following:
Mrs. Franz Wendell and little child;
the ehlld's injuries were more severe.
and included bleeding from the mouth.
Nelson Vance. slightly injured.

PUT IT INTO WORDS.

Integrity Of character, right sense of
honor, manliness and respect for what is
pure and good are all adjuncts to the
perfect happiness of married life. But
mo st natures crave more than these, and
what they crave is so easy to give that
we wonder it ia ever withheld. Said a
woman of her husband, who, when living,
stood high with his fellowmen and sur
rounded her with every luxury:"I loved
him mostifor his Observation-Disclosures and
delicate attentions which made me feel
that was just as dear to him after years
of marriage as on the first day he called
me his wife" And this, we think, is the
secret of some women's happiness. 1t is
not enough for a man to make q woman
his wife, and after a few weeks or
months of attention ignore her with q
feeling that, because he has chosen to
her to bear his name, she must be forev-
er satisfied with no further demonstra-
tions of his llove. Women like demon
STATIONS, and there is world of good
advice In the two lines Of an old ballad
we lately read:
aft your wife is dearer to you than life,
Kiss her and tell her so."-GA. G.s

CIRCULATION:

A Pointer For Road Builders.

HOW COUNTRY ROAD WAS IMPROVED
Alta LITTLE COST.
No section of road In Huntington has
been dreaded more by the travelling pub
lie, during the winter and spring, than
the 2 900 feet on Long Hill avenue, now
covered with stone. Frequently, when
the frost was leaving the ground, the
water would run back and forth under
the road, and by stopping you could see
through under the roadbed. We trien
turnpking. 1t only made matters worse.
For few years before putting on stone
we raised the road only sufficient to let
the water off, working it just as little as
possible. This made the best dirt road
we ever had, but 1t did not do away with
the almost impossible condition Of the
annual spring breaking. When the roads
around us we're settled, Long all mud
was at It's worst. The residents held
several meetings to see II something
could not be done. Gravel was out Of

every year. Stones were near by and 1t
was finally agreed to ask the town to
take out IS inches of dirt, 16 feet wide,
and put In stone, 20 inches thick in the
center with six inches of dirt.
This idea, after getting the disapprov'
al OF nearly every old roadmaker In the
town, and running the gauntlet or
town meeting, was adopted. The reasons
urged against the measure were, that thu
stones would work up; that the stoneI
would go down; that the dirt could no
be made to stay on top, and, finally, tina
the people OF Long Hill always had pull
