in the restoration of comparative pros
perity in commerce, industry and agri
culture. Outward cargoes of aogar and other
products are being graudaliv found for
shipping, but exportation from the
mines of the province have contributed
the bulk of the exports.
"Tbe fact," say General Wood,
"that tbe mines were put into opera

that the employment of large number
of natives during ft critical period waa

The division of onstom and insular
affairs of the war department has re
ceived from the colleotor of custom at
Havana, Colonel Lasker H. Bliss, un
der date of December 29, 1898, bis re
port. Colonel Bliss says that the first seri
ous embarrassment he met with on tak
ing charge of the custom-house at Ha
vana was caused by tbe fact that the
Spaniards had removed nearly every
thing except the bare walls and floors,
ia first official step waa to obtain a full
list of employes in the custom-house,
, their salaries and nationality, and next
information as to their general charac
ter and reputation for integrity.
Colonel Bliss says that, as waa to be
expected, the several place in tbe cus
tom house when he assumed charge
were ohiefly held by Spaniards, the to
tal number employed being 239. The
problem that confionta him, he says,
is how to repair a house from founda
tion to roof without a material disturb
ance of it occupants and without in
terfering with their daily business.
Under thia condition, he remarks, be
cannot of course begin by tearing the
house down.
