The entire period of Ameri-

can occupation ..............s53,371,37 $40 a
The buildings selected for barracks and
quarters for the army were used only
temporarily by the troops, and when put
in thorough repair and good sanitary con-
dition were turned over to the municipal
tiles as hospitals. Many of the most COM
pletely appointed hospitals in the island
have been fitted out in this way. 1t fol-
lows that when consideration is given to
the short time which the troops actually
occupied these buildings that the amount
charged against appropriations for bar
racks and quarters Is much greater than
would have been necessary had not the
selection of quarters been made a Sec
ondary consideration.
That the administration of the depart
ment of sanitation was judicious and
thorough in it's results, Is apparent in the
large decrease of the death rate in the
island since modern sanitary measures
have prevailed. The death rate prior to
this time had been as high as 81 and 90
in the thousand, but decreased to less
than g in one thousand; and during tho
season just passed, when yellow fever
was formerly at its height, Havana was
entirely free from this epidemic.
The marine quarantine conducted by the
United States Marine hospital service
has been effective in preventing the
spread of contagious diseases: and this
service has greatly aided the other off,
GERS in their efforts to establish healthful
conditions.
The Gulf states of the Union have also
profited by these measures.
In withdrawing from Cuba we left q
treasury balance of $685.. 10000, and bal
ances in the hands of collectors and dis
bursting officers aggregating $1,20O, 900 90,
constituting an ample working capital
for the inauguration of the new republic.
All of the branches of government
were organized and had been gradually
put into the hands of the native officers
who had been associated in the respective
departments with American administra-
tors, whereby opportunity was given for
a full understanding of our methods Of
government.
The former assistant auditor under the
American administration became the aud
itor for the new republic: the assistant
treasurer became the treasurer; the ma
tive administrators of justice, finance,
public instruction and public works, con-
tinue to hold office under the Cuban gov
ernment.
A clear title to the public buildings,
roads, wharves and school houses passed
to the Cuban republic.
There stands out prominently above all
other consideration the fact that the
United States put forth every effort for
the betterment of Cuba and her people.
What it cost us in lives and money is an
other story What is to be the future
of Cuba is also not a subject OF consid-

pointed trust, Uncle Sam has been sue

Citizen George Francis Train, now In
his seventy-fourth year, has written a
book about himself, which will be pub
lished by firm of sufficient prominence
to guarantee that 1t Is work of merit.
Those who have seen the manuscript
of the most recent effort of this eccen-
tric individual, whose idiosyncrasles
have furnished many columns for the
sensational readers, state that time has
not impaired the vigor OF his compo-
sition or the accuracy OF his recollec-
tlons, 1t Is barely possible that the
strange character who has been known
for so many years as crank of un-
usual resources may yet fool mankind
by leaving a work of consistency and
genuine literary merit which could not
fail to be interesting If given in the
authors peculiar style.

Cuba was occasioned by the condition OF
the various municipalities, oil Of which
showed large deficits In their annual
budgets. In the fiscal year 1898 more than
one million dollars was contributed to
defray these deficits, and thereafter tho
schools, police and municipal hospitals
and charities were maintained almost en-
tirely at the expense of the insuIar gov
ernment. This condition has been very
largely overcome and the majority of the
municipalities are now self-sustaining.
The insular revenues, however. were
used to support the municipal schools and
charities to a very large degree as well
as in payment for the extensive work
up to the close of the American adminis-
tration.
