Cubans In Control.

To-day all the departments on the
island are practically In the hands of
the Cubans, who have been instructed
as to how things can be managed, and
when the time arrives all we will have
to do will be to take a receipt for the
money on hand. At the request of con-
gress we have accounted for every dol
lar expended in the Improvement of
Cuba since the military forces have
been in charge of the island and we
hold the receipts for these expendi-
lures. There never was such an ac-
curate accounting demanded before.
and it has been complied with. There
was some trouble in the postofflce at
first, but the Rathburne- Nelly cases
have been thoroughly worked up, and
the men will be brought to trial in
May. The bonds OF these men have
been forfeited and will have to be paid.
There has been an agent Of the security
company in Havana lately, and after
looking over the ground he will report
back that the bonds must be settled
while I have said that everything
has been harmonious since have been
in charge in Cuban affairs, must,
however, explain that 1t would be i'm

with black sticky substance called
pitch. AS soon as the men are out of
sight down come the monkeys from the
trees They begin dancing around the
basins In little while they thrust
their hands in and begin to wash
themselves as the men have done. But
they very soon find out that the pitch
is not like the water. When once they
have dipped their hands into the sticky
stuff it will not come on again. The
basins and the pitch stick firmly to the
hands of the poor monkeys, who try
to run away as fast as they can, but
the heavy basins prevent them from
getting on at any great rate. And
now the men, who have hid themselves
behind the trees, rush out and the poor
monkeys are taken captive.
