TRANQUILITY IN CUBA
REPORT OF DISTURBANCES
WHOLLY UNFOUNDED.

The Secretary of War today issued the
following memorandum in regard to condi-
tons in Cuba according to official reports:
ut was stated at the War Department to-
day that so far as is known in the depart
ment in dispatches received from Gov. Ma
COON or from the military authorities in
the island there is no gorund for the gen.
eral public statement that disturbances
exist in Cuba. On Christmas evening dis
patch was received from Gov. Magoon say
ing that he had received word from some
plantation owners expressing fears of dep
relations from small bands of robbers, I'M
derstood to be infesting the province Of
Santa Clara. and he accordingly ordered
practice marches Of two troops of cavalry
in that province He also mentioned the
existence Of a strike in Camaguey, which
might possibly lead to some disorder. AS a
matter of fact, no dispatch has been received
from him since. and the department has
every reason to suppose that quiet prevails
everywhere.
Building Boom.
The following has been received in pri-
vate letter from military officer holding
high station in Cuba, under date of Decem-
Der %:
Everything goes on quietly here, and
there is no marked change in any respect.
We have continual intimation from all
sorts of sources that no matter what hap
pens in the elections one side or the other
will take to the woods. l suppose
an Anglo-Saxon will never understand
| these people, and can never hope to do SO.
They are something like children who tell
| ghost stories to each other until they
| brighten themselves to point where they
cannot sleep. Apart from mutterings such
| as 1 have referred to- and which in my
opinion amount to nothing at this time,
| there is nothing to cause any I'M
| easiness at this time. In fact, our rule has
| been so quiet and orderly and the Presi-
dents injunction to refrain from hurting
| the feelings or wounding the susceptibiliues

people welcome the troops everywhere and

Some of the married attendants and nurses
cannot afford to rent an entire house, but
live by sharing six-room house with an
other. Some are successful in getting a
three-room cottage at a low figure. The
question might arise, why do these men re-
main in such place. 1t is simply owing
to the fact that they have lost touch with
the outside world, and are not physically
qualified for other work, owing to the long
confinement they have undergone. Even
