The story was circulated some time
ago, and published repeatedly, that
President Suncemente had resigned
and that he had been succeeded by
Vice President Marrosuin. This infor-
nation was cabled to the various rep-
resentatlves Of the government by Mar
rogutn, who requested that the nations
OF the world should be appraised OF the
fact, and act In accordance with The re-
suit. The consuis and ministers took
little stock In the report, and refused

as special agent of the government
at Washington, visited Havana and
took an inventory of the custom house
situation. This is his verdict:
Colonel Bliss has everything in fine

Hons of dollars where l did not think
he could collect ten millions, and many
other people thought he would not be
able to collect five millions. The gov
ernment has lost nothing through him.
He has thoroughly overhaued his de-
partment; has discharged 169 incom-
petept and dishonest employees and
landed twenty OF them in Jail. Great
praise Is due him for his faithful and
energetic services Mr.. Porter says a
wonderful change has come over Hav-

has been transformed, but business
