Col. Bliss writes that the operations
at the custom house at Havana are
proceeding very smoothly, considering
all of the conditions under which he
has to work. On the day following his
installation number of employees va
Gated their positions. Some Of them
were Spaniards returning to their own
country, or were employees, who. under
the Spanish law. had become entitled
to retiring pension. Had this class
remained in the service their pensions
would have been jeopardized. Others
left for reasons best known to them
selves. AT present Col. Bliss is care

Americans only on guard where a good

sary.

MEN ARE DISSATISFIED.
Hence 9th Mass. Is to Be Mustered
Out of Service.

Boston, Jan. 15.-!The Herald, tomor-
row, will say: A Washington dispatch
received in this city, today, contained
the information hat the authorities
have decided to muster out the 9Th
Mass. Regiment, U. S. ", now in camp
at Greenville, s. G.
The dispatch states that reports had
been made to the war department that
dissatisfaction existed among the men
of the regiment and that the govern
ment had decided not to send dissatiS-
fled soldiers on foreign service.
If this report is true, the friends of
the regiment in Massachusetts will be
much surprised, for private letters re-
ceived from the men have, as a rule.
been free from complaint.
