washington, aug. %o.--I iesiueh' wv
Kinley, it is said, has signed a proclama-
ton which is to be promulgated in Cuba
in day or two. The proclamation is to
the effect that the census ordered for
Cuba is to be the beginning of the
movement looking toward the estab-
lishment of an independent government
for that island.
Troops to BE Withdrawn.
When the census, the proclamation
says, has been completed, arrange
ments will be made by the United States
government for the holding OF local
elections in the various provinces
throughout the island, with the view of
establishing civil governments, thus
giving an opportunity to the Cubans to
demonstrate their ability to conduct,
in their own way, the affairs of the is
land
As fast as the local authorities per-
feet their scheme of government the
United States troops will be with
drawn. The proclamation, it is said,
will be printed in all the papers in Cuba.
It's reported object is to contradict the
stories circulated in the island that the
United States government does not in
tend to carry out the will of congress
and give independence to the Cubans.
Inspectors Pleased.
Havana. Aug. 2S.-The Cuban inspect
ors of census arrived here from Wash
ington, via Tampa, and gave out long
interviews to the Havana newspapers
about their treatment in Washington,
and what they learned regarding the
plans of the Americans for the better
ment of Cuba. Their views are most
optimistic. and have delighted the sin
dependence" element in Cuban poll
tics.
Treated with Respect.
They declare that in their interviews
with President Mckinley and Secretary
Root they were treated with the utmost
respect, Mr. Root assuring them that
the census must be as exact as possible,
because it would form the basis of Gu
ban independence.
He further authorized them to say
publicly that President Mckinley was
about to issue proclamation fulfilling
entirely the promises of the United
States as to Cuba's independence. The
inspectors called on Gen. Brooke, to
whom they said that they expected to
Immediately begin their work, so that
it shall be finished by November 30.
Cuban Finances.
Washington, Aug. 2s.-The war de-
partment has given an interesting state
ment of the financial condition of the
island of Cuba. 1t shows that under
the management of the United States
government the receipts of the island
from January !, 1899, to June 80, of the
current year, exceed the expenditures
by the sum of $1.4S0,021. This state
ment probably will be a surprise to
many persons, who had thought that
Cuba, under the military occupation of
the United States, was not self-sustain-
ing.
During the period named the receipts
from all sources were $6,9S2 ,010; dis
bursements, $5.501 ,9SS. The statement
for July shows that the customs col
lections in the entire island for July
alone were $1,339,324 disbursements,

concluded that either the man to whom
he had been entrusted had proven false
TO the trust or that Yancey had given him
the slip and taken another trip to Cuba.
The latter is what he did.
Some time recently a letter was received
at the Mayors office, addressed to the
Mayor of Savannah. 1t was from Mr.
Carter, i'm New York, who stated that he
had fine greyhound which was prob
ably the property of some member of the
city government. The writer stated that
he had gone over to Brooklyn some time
before with some members of his family
to see some friends off to Cuba on one
OF the5 transports. While waiting at the
dock fine greyhound seemed to take a
great liking to a member of the party,
and the soldiers aboard the transport,
seeming willing TO part with him, they de-
cided to take the dog. AS they were leav-
ing the ship, however, one of the soldiers
called out That's a great dog. He be-
longs to a city official in Savannah, and
has made two trips TO Cuba"
No one at the city exchange had lost a
dog, but thinking that it might be of in

sent over to him. II gave him the first

consideration of the fine imposed upon me
by The Recorder Friday morning Kindly
give me the same amount of space in your
paper to correct the error. did not
make an appeal to the Mayor. neither

cejved a message indirectly that, Mr.

statement Of the facts in the case. This
l did in a personal letter to Herman

bodied nor any semblance of one as far
as l remember.
AS I am no "wire-puller," feel that 1t
would have been a presumption on my
part to ask anything of the kind from
either the Mayor or Recorder. Now that
the fine has been placed l am satisfied
that there remains nothing TO be done in
the matter; at the same time, l am frank
to adn1is. and more so since the many as
surances I have received from the public
In general and the medical profession, in
particular. that the fine, or rather, the
amount of the fine, was an outrage, but at
the same time to presume to make an APP
neal and thus endeavor TO deprive the
Recorder and the committee Of two from
the Good Government Club who docketed
the case of the very great satisfaction
which they seem to have derived from ii,
would. l feel, be greater outrage still.

of the foremost of Savannah's citizens is
the recently reelected Mayor, the Hon.

a Virginian by birth. He entered business
in Savannah thirty-ive years ago, since
which time he has always been among its

of the Savannah Grocery Company, one
of the largest wholesale houses in the
South, and is also president: of the Cuban
American Cigar Manufacturing Company

prises of which he is the leading figure
The latest movement to which Mr.. Myers
is giving his attention concerns our trade
with Porto Rico and Cuba, which Savan-
nah merchants are now rapidly building
up. 1t is a fitting tribute to his untiring
efforts for the progress of Savannah that
the people have for the second time chosen
