Mexico City, Mexico, Jan. IS = Charles
Akers, correspondent of the London
Tunes in Cuba, is here. He praises
highly the. conduct of the American
regular troops during the Cuban cam
paign. He says the Gubans are in the
main peaceable. and there is no danger
Of conflict between them and the
American authorities, provided the
latter show the necessary tact.
The Cuban generals have been busily
engaged in disbanding their forces and
are aiding in the work Of reconstruction
in perfect good faith. He seas no
reason why the Cubans should not form
u government of their own, but Of
course it would always be more or
less under the protection OF the United
States.
He denied that there was the slight
est truth in tho pretended revelations
made In Havana regarding the blowing
UP Of the Maine.
Mr.. Asers says that by the end Of
January there will be from 1870 to 800
central sugar factories in operation in
Cuba. IL is estimated that the sugar
crop should he from 700, 900 to 500. 600
tons, as preparations are already being
made for planting increased areas next
Juno and July. Thus 1t will be seen
that the resources Of the island arc
already entering again on a period OF
| peaceful development.
