This closed the speechmaking and the
notification party went to luncheon in the
big tent. After luncheon had been served
the party leaders went with the President
into the house. There were number of in
formal conferences, but the time was de-
voted almost wholly to giving the visitors
an opportunity TO become personally ac-
quainted with the President. While there
was considerable discussion of politics
and future policies. this was confined large
ly TO the members of the national commit
tee. The large crowds still fingered about
the Presidents home, the bands enlivened
the scene from time to time by playing
patriotic airs as the afternoon wore on,
and there was more prospect of
speechmaking the crowds dispersed.
At 4:io o'clock the last of the Cleveland

carriages and babe them goodbye. The
people who still fingered about the prem
ises cheered the President. He returned
to the house, and the notification cere-
monies were over.

Report of the British Consul to His
Home Government.

LONDON, July 12.-The report Of the
British consul in Cuba for 1899 says: while
the first year of American rule disappointed
Americans as we'll as Cubans and failed TO
realize expectations In the way of great
revival of trade and needed public works. 1t
is only common justice to the United States
officials in Cuba to say that no response
b:lity for the nonfulfillment of these ex-
pectations attaches to them. So far as their
authority allowed they have worked hon.
estly and in good faith in what they con-
ceived to be the best interests of the island.
/ cannot see what more could be done The
one thing that was not in their power to
give was the thing Cuba needed the most

government"
The consul Endorses the reports OF Gen.
erals Brooke, Ludlow and Fitzhugh Lee. in
which they point out that until settled
government is established. capital, so nee
essary to the economic reconstruction OF
Cuba, will continue to hold aloof and says:
'sIn the interest of all the countries COM
mercialy related with Cuba. as well as
of Cuba herself. Ii is to be hoped that the
present uncertainty will be ended before
the resulting evils assume an acute phase"
Referring to the complications and hope

KINDS or money, the relative Value or
which daily fluctuates.'' the consul says:
ut is incredible that such a system should
actually be in use to-day in a civilized
country controlled by the government of
so eminently practical a people the
Americans.
Continuing the consul pays a tribute to
the sanitary work of the United States
thorities, resulting In remarkable diminu-
ton of mortality from yellow fever. and
advises the establishment of direct steam
ship communication between Great Britain
and Cuba in spite of previous failures In
this direction.
In conclusion the consul remarks: 1.-The
