Public Improvements
Santiago de Cuba, March s.-Be.
tween 1000 and 3, 900 men have been
suddenly thrown ont OF work in the
province OF Santiago, over 700 in .he
immediate neighborhood OF this city.
Although Governor General Brooke Las
wired $50, 900 REQUIRED for the Febru.
airy payroll. there is still deficit Of
nearly 100000, and the orders from
Havana still hold good limiting the
expenditure during the month OF March
for the entire province to 100000 The
effect Of this order on Civil Governor
Castillo. Mayor Bicardi and other Gu
bans prominent in official circles is
simply paralyzing.
Groups of men on street corners, in
clubs. cafes, et:.. openly abuse the
American administration, saying that
the Spanish was infinitely preferable,
as in the worst times during peace con.
eiderably more men were engaged on
public works under the old regime than
are now so employed.
The new regulations have brought to
a standstill all the public improve
ments, including the dredging OF the
har Dor, roadmaking and beverage.

CHANGE FOR BETTER
Manila Takes On Its Former
Air of Business.
RESTORATION OF CONFIDENCE
Due to the Arrival Of Reinforcement
Rebels Active at San Pedro
Macati.

Manila, March 1.-THE United States
transport Ohio arrived yesterday.
In the last two days there has been
a very noticeable change in Manila for
the better. probably due to the arrival
of reinforcements for the American
troops. Numbers OF people are seen
on the streets. and the amount OF busi-
ness transacted in the stores has mar.
velously increased. Yesterday the
Luneta was blocked with carriages for
the first time since the outbreak. and
the band of the Twentieth regulars
played number OF airs, and it was
hard to believe that a state OF wal ex-
listed.
Outside the city there was desultory
firing throughout the day, and at vari-
Gus points the sharpshooters were most
annoying.
At San Pedro Macati the rebels are
very active, erecting entertainments in
front of the position occupied by the
Washington troops, although two.gun
battery Of the Sixth artillery repeatedly
shelled them.
The enemy are fully alive to the fact
that Mausers have a much longer range
than the Springtields and are continu-
ously taking "pot shots" in compare
tive safety. The American soldiers dis
like this passive resistance, and are
eager for the excitement of an active
campaign.
Despite the heat, the health Of the
men in the trenches has improved re-
markably.
The transport Ohio arrived today
with reinfOrcements. One casualty.
Private Overton. company g, Twenty
second infantry, died on the I'd inst.
Of spinal meningitis.
