Report That Shows the Island Will
Soon BE Very Prosperous.

WASHINGTON, April 30.--Acting Secre-
tary Of War Meiklejohn made public to-day
a very interesting report on the commercial
and industrial conditions Of Cuba, showing
that the future of the island under stable
government promises a wonderful develop
ment of wealth. The beneficial effects of an
economical administration of the islands af-
fairs, such as IL now being given under the
direction of the War Department, are al
ready apparent. A good deal of the capital
which was removed or which went into hid
ing prior TO and during the Spanish war
has returned and new capital is being at
tracted by the safer and more stable con-
diti0ns. The increase in the business Of the
custom house demonstrates better than any
thing else the revival of general trade. To-
bacco. which will continue to be one of the
most important crops of the island, is al
ready being cultivated in sections OF the
island where It has never been grown hither-
to. The CROP estimated at the beginning of
the present year at 10000 tons. based upon
actual production at the end of March. it is
estimated. will reach 10000 tons. This. de-
spite lack of facilities. the confusion and
hurry with which the crops we're planted
and the fact that much of the machinery
scarcity OF domestic oxen. due to the whole
sale slaughter of stock by both Cubans and
spaniards for food purposes during the war.
is greatly retardng the operation of sugar
estates. During March 1880 bales of leaf
tobacco $40 cigars, $4,000 packages of cigar
cites and 1900 kilos of cut tobacco were ex-
ported from Havana. The expectation of
various kinds of merchandise which do not
pay duty, principally sugar. old iron, pine
apples, palms. preserved fruits. honeys.
sponges. etc. reached 4os1.coo kilos from
Havana.
The total collections during March we're
ssesee5, a collection exceeded only twice at
Havana during the past ten years ns95 and
1881 The apparently large collections last
year which reached IN the equivalent OF
American money ss2l. .i2s, Is accounted for by
the fact that the duties on large quantities
of war supplies and materials shipped into
Havana under the title OF libramentoes."

MUSTERED OUT.
The 161st Indiana Regiment En- Route
to the National Capital.

SAVANNAH, Ga, April 3O.-The One-hun-
dred-and-sixty-first Indiana Regiment, Col.
w. II. Durbin. was mustered out of the serv-
ice to-day. The payment of the men was
commenced by three paymasters at o'clock.
An unusual incident of the muster out was
the fact that a great many of the retail
stores of the city opened their doors for the
accommodation of the men and 10 deliver
packages sold TO them yesterday. The first
section Of the three trains that carried the
Indianians to Washington left the depot at
o'clock The others followed within a few
minutes. The regiment will arrive at Wash
ington tomorrow morning and in the after
noon will be reviewed by the President from
the portico of the White House. After re-
viewing the command, the President will re-

Cubans Pessimistic, and Predicting

When the Army Is Disbanded.
RADICAL CHANGE At HAVANA
ALL GENERAL STORES CLOSED AT 10
O'CLOCK A. VI. on SUNDAY.
Clerks Pleased, but Merchants and

HAVANA, April 30-Governor General
Brooke purposes to bring the matter of the
payment Of the Cuban troops to a head i'm
mediately. Yesterday he sent a request to
Gen. Maxine Gomez that the latter and the
junto OF consulting Cuban generals should
come at once to decision as to whether the
Cuban muster rolls are TO stand as now
made up or are to be reduced. as General
Gomez has been expecting. If he could con-
suit his own desires General Brooke would
pay 500 per man to such as are entitled to
share in the SO. 600. but as General Gomez
continues to vouch FOR $50 troops, payment
will be begun without further delay on that
basis. On Tuesday, May 2. three months
will have elapsed since Robert P. Porter
President McKinley's special commissioner
came to formal agreement with General
Gomez that it was of the first Importance
that the Cuban army should be paid and
disbanded.
The Cuban people are pessimists. The
average Cuban is now whispering his fears
of wild outbreak Of brigandage as soon as
the troops are paid off. The planters are
suspending improvements until developments
are known and projects for investment are
held in allegiance. Washington wishes the
so as to be able to withdraw at least two
more regiments. American observers do not
expect that there will be much outlawry.
Some, they think. is inevitable, but 1t will be
put down so promptly as to discourage ad-
venturers.
Every business house in Havana, except
the drug stores and cafes, were closed at 10
o'clock this morning in pursuance of Major
General Ludlows special order. The clerks.
a thousand or more, who petitioned the mill
tary government to issue the order, are
much pleased at the result. No so, however,
the store keepers and the general public.

GEN. ALGER~IS WILLING
HE WOULD TAKE SEAT IN THE
SENATE If 1T WAS OFFERED.
Says He Has Been Promised McMil-
Decided Not to Run Again.

DETROIT, April 30-Secretary Alger,
being asked whether he will be candidate
before the next Michigan Legislature for
United States Senator to succeed Senator
Mcmillan, replied: Il will say frankly that
did think that If the State should see fit to
send me to the Senate L would appreciate
the honor, but after all my State has done
for me, shall not enter into any scramble
for it,
Being informed that ii had been reported
that Senator Mcmillan would seek a third
term. the secretary of war replied: Il do
not think so. Senator Mcmillan assured
me himself long time ago that he proba-
bly, should not be a candidate again, and
that if he was not he would do all he could
for me. think # he had changed his mind
and intended to be a candidate would have
heard something about il. Indeed / think
would be one of the first persons that he
would have spoken to about it,"
TO another reporter General Alger said:
Senator Mcmillan has not only i~timated.
but has positively declared TO me everal
occasions that he will certainly be a
candidate for reelection and that l. choose
to be candidate that he would do all in his
power to assist my candidacy
In case Senator Mcmillan should, how
ever, conclude to be a candidate, general,
would you then withhold your candidacy"
i did not say that" replied the secretary,
land l do not wish to be so understood.
would yield to no man If had concluded to
become an aspirant for such an Office. But
L am perfectly certain that Senator Nc
MILAN will not be a candidate. He has told
me so repeatedly and emphatically. / would
not become a candidate in the sense of MAX
ing a rough-and-tumble struggle for the
senatorship. i do not believe that election
TO the senatorship should ever come in that
way. But il it appeared to me to be the
wish of a majority Of the people OF Michigan
/ would be glad 10 make fair contest for
that Office. Before Senator McMillan's last
election he said TO me that he was willing TO
withdraw and that 1 ought probably to be-
come candidate in his place. 1 felt. how
ever, that the senator's record and services
entitled him to another term. Since l have
been secretary OF war 1 have paid little at
tention to the matter. but have concluded,
in view of the senator's statements to me.
that if the party so wills 1T may be a can
didate for the senatorship."
Considering Governor Pingree's present
friendly attitude towards you. have you and
the Governor ever conferred upon the sub
ject?"
Il don't remember ever having exchanged
a word with the Governor about myself"
said the general, refiectively. I'VE are on
the best of terms. but have no knowledge
about what his attitude may be on the SEN
atorship matter"
General Alger was much gratified over the
hopeful tone of to-nights Manila dispatches
which were read 10 him.

there are few Irish millionalres TO per-
