WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-An inter
esting report on the conditions existing
in Havana has been submitted TO Ma
jor General Brooke by Brigddier Gen
eral Ludlow, Military Governor OF the
city, and transmitted to the War De-
partment. After describing the lament
able state to which the city has been
reduced by war, when the most I'M
perative requirements of a city govern
ment We're abandoned" he says:
Within thirty days after the begin
ming Of American control this had been
amended. There is no means of esti-
mating how many thousands of lives
have been saved during the American
occupation, partly by outright rescue
with food and medicines, partly by Civ
ing work and employment to the des-
titute and partly by the reduced death
rate from improved sanitary conditions
affecting the entire population.
1T may be held that, aside from com
mercial or industrial considerations
merely, the object lesson given by tho
administrative and physical rehabili-
tation of Havana that has been effected
within a few months constitutes al
enormous moral force, the results OF
which are to a greater or less extent
permanent and of incalculable value in
Cuba and elsewhere.
In Havana the rule of law is prac-
tically complete. The rural districts are
as orderly as in the interior of New
England. These facts must be~cred ted
in great part to the measures taken by
the American Administration, but il
would be unjust not to credit the inhab-
itants themselves with willingness to
fall in with the purposes of the Ad-
ministration and to cooperate with
them.
"As to commerce, the situation is less
clear. The American occupation was
followed by an abnormal volume of i'm
ports, due to the banking up of invoices
awaiting anticipated changes in charges
and period of active movement en-
sued, the continuance of which will de-
pend upon the extent to which the re-
sources of the island can be developed
Money is plentiful as is shown by the
rate of interest at & per cent. or Z per
cent. instead of 10 to - per cent. as
formerly. Financial movements are
likely to be more or ess hesitating un-
til some explicit conclusion is an
nounced as to the future.
In single respect have the results
attained in Havana fallen short of sat
lsfactory adjustment The vital aues-
ton of primary education is still prac-
tically unsolved and the great majority
of the Havana children of school age
are running wild in the streets without
instruction or discipline
The conditions of living are simple
IN this country. A livelihood is readily
attained if the essentials of a patch of
ground, a few tools and seed can be
had and little aid rendered at the out
set to those who are willing to earn
their own living if given the oppor-
tunlty. The people have learned to
ask for work instead of a pauperizing
aid, and tools in place of food, and with
the exception of a formidable residuum
OF helpless women and children. the
able-bodied are at work and earning

Imperial Trade by the Sultan of

CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. 12-An

Mrs. John B. Henderson by his plucky
action in subduing a pair of maddened
horses attached 10 the Henderson carriage
last night.
The animals were frightened b. the
shadows cast by the electric light in the
middle Of the plaza at the intersection of
New York Avenue, II, and Thirteenth
Streets northwest Taking the bits in
their teeth they dashed down Thirteenth
Street toward G on the sidwalk. The car
riage swayed to and fro, and was finally
thrown heavily against an iron fencing.
The horses fell TO the ground, kicking and
rearing against the front of the carriage,
and the coachman was thrown about 20
feet, alighting unhurt on the concrete
pavement. The maddened animals quickly
recovered their feet and were starting TO
run when Policeman Lally appeared on the
scene. At the risk OF his life he sprang
at the heads Of the frightened steeds, and
after struggle succeeded in subduing
them. The coachman had recovered his
equilibrium by this time and took charge
while the occupants OF the carriage alight-
ed and took a street car for their home
Lally is one Of the most popular police
men in the city and has often given evi-
dence of great courage. He has recently
recovered from severe illness which in
capacitated him for duty for almost TWO
months.
The carriage was badly damaged by the
accident and the fence against which il
was thrown was bent out of place.
