AFFAIRS IN HAVANA
AS Viewed by Director of CUBE n
Posi- Office Nicely.

Washington, Aug 13.-Charles F
Neely, director clG finance for the post
offices of Cuba, visited Acting Post
master-General Heath today and had
a long conference with him. He said
that the Cubans were much pleased
with the new postoff1ce System, which
was improving He thought it was q
mistake to have the military govern
the Cuban people. He has a high ad-
miration for General Brooke and Gen
eIal Ludlow, but thought that as mill
tary men they were not well fitted to
handle municipal affairs. Neverthe
less, the city of Havana showed a
great Improvements in sanitary man
agement and as a result there have
.b6an only two deaths from yellow
fever in July, as against 800 for the
same month in 1898. AS to annexa-
t:on, the Spaniards were in favor Of
it, though the richer Cubans did not
seem to be- He cordially commended
General Ludlow's suppression of the
RsconceL.IHdo (newspaper), saying
that It was a disgrace to journalism.
Blanco did not allow the paper to be
published and it was suppressed until
the Americans assumed control OF the
island.
The British, he said, were stealing
march on Americans in the island,
and unless the capitalists of .shis coun-
try moved quickly they would find that
some splendid money making oppor
tunities were gone forever. The Eng
lish had bought up the railroads and
were going to extend existing lines
the provinces which are still
railroads. UnlSss a stronger
effort was made to get the Cuban
trade the British would beat us badly
Another thing that will handicap
in Mr.. Neely's opinion, is
that in previous dealings with Amer
leans the Cubans got the worst of it.
Cuban merchants did not receive any
thing resembling the samples which
were shown them when they gave or
ders, and hereafter houses in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston will
find it hard to deal with them Be
sides, American firms refuse to give
the Cuban merchants long credits,
which foreigners are pelCectly willing
to give

from reference to the story, but de-
spite this the people in court thought
