Washington. Aug. 2S.-The war de. partment gave out yesterday for pub lieation an interesting statement oi the financial condition of the Island of Cuba. It shows that under the man. agement of the United States govern. ment the receipts of the island from January l, 1899, to June 90, of ta> current year. exceed the eXpenditares by the very handsome sum of l,4S9,. 02l.

 During the period named the re. ceipts from all sources were S6,9s2 ,0l0: disbursements, $5,501, ,9SS. Of thiS money disbursed $1,712,014 was eX. pended in sanitation; S505,2 in the erection and improvement of barracks and quarters, S443, ,563 in the establish. ment, etc, of the rural guards and ad. ministration, S250,674 on public works harbors and forts, $293,ss1 in charities and hospitals, S242, JAG for civil govern. ment,$723,2S1 on municipalities, Ssa, ,94i in aid to the destitute, $42 ,205 Il quar-. antine matter; total, $4.44S.924

WILL PLANT THE EUCALYPTUS
Expected to Add Much to the HeaIu of Havana and the Whole
 Island of Cuba.

Havana, Aug. 2s.-Owing to frequent recommendations to Gov. Brooke oi the eucalyptus tree as an anti-ma. larial agent, some investigations hay, been carried on under his orders Al tcntion has been called to the success obtained in cultivating the tree in the vast Gampagna di Roma, Italy, where ecalyptus is now recognized as ren' dering the whole territory much les: unhealthful.
 The City of Mexico is cited as an. other instance, where the Nigo canal the floating gardens and other malarial districts are now well stocked wi th young trees with the result that places which were once marshy and unhealth, ful have been rendered dry and in- nGcuous.
 One recommendation says that the British station in Jamaica, which was formerly malarial, has been planted with eucalyptus, the outcome already being steady disappearance ol marshY spots. The tree, which ab sorbs the moisture, grows very rapid ly, often ten feet in year. The wood is valuable, and honey bees seek the flowers. The honey. it is said. con. tains important medicinal properties
 The tree department at Santiago de Cuba, not knowing the investigations progress under Gen. Brooke's direc. tion. recently made a request for sev. eral thousands of eucalyptus slips, tht acquisition being strongly indorsed by Gen. Leonard Wood.
 The officials in charge of the yellow fever hospital planted several slip, some months ago and they are now thriving. It is believed that great good will result from the inyestiga. tions. Several years ago experiment, with the eucalyptus tree were tried here, the result being satisfactory foi the first four years, after which, it is said, the trees died, but the consensus of opinion among the medical author. ities is favorable to repetition of the experiment, which Gen. Brooke vii. probably attempt at an early date on . large scale.

DISPATCH FROM GEN. OTIS.
Reported Ambushing of Four Sol diers Near Cebu Confirmed
 Conditions Improving.

Washington, Aug. 29.=The follow. ing dispatch has been received from Gen. Otis, dated the 97th:
 Hughes, at Iloilo, reports that four soldiers were ambushed. killed and mutilated a few miles south of the city of Cebu, names not given; that the robber bands of Negros are scat tered, and most of the same are re- turning to work on sugar plantations; that the armed Tagalos who had en- tered that island were severely pun ished, and that conditions are favora- ble for formation of civil govern ment under military supervision, as has been directed. There is little change in Panay and Gebu islands; the withdrawal of volunteers and reg ulars discharged under order last year has prevented an active campaign in those islands, which the mediated re- Inducements will cure"

 ''I hopee the relief supplies will be confined to the foods, medicines and clothing heretofore specified. The most pressing need is food, and the az gregate cost of all that will be re- qnired to bridge over the period until new supply of fruits and vegetables are grown, will be an enormous sum, perhaps reaching one and a half mil. lion dollars.
