Hi leport in tin respect is very gratifying, indicat ing as it doea that there ia not so much suffering from want of food a i often aaaerted in unofficial report. Turning to recommendation, Gen eral Lee urges tbe taking of aelf-gov-ernuent. Geneial Lve thinks that the next step should be the careful con sideration of the question of suffrage for the Cubans. He take it for grunt ed that there will be election by the native, and he point out tho impoit ance of wise action in determining the qualifications of votei. He recommend an independent re publican government, with a preaident, nrice-piesident and congress. He would have thia established aoon, and ad vises the holding of n general election for the selection of those officeis. He rays nothing about a constitution, leav ing it to bo inferrod that he either over looked that -tet or would have it loft to the Cuban congress to provide utter its installation in office. k General Leo evidently foresee that while tbe United States might provide Culm with a modal system of govern ment, tho native would be likely to -I oil it ill the ndiuiuistration, aud he bus submitted suggestions for keeping tbe government machinery running along line that commend themselves to the American mind. Even after relieving the Cubans in part of American protection, he would have United Statea troops mnintainod in the island to protect Americans and other aliens In the enjoyment oi. their personal and property lights. rarkliig i'tant llurned.

Plan for s u L 1 1 . t Chinamen. Hong Knii);, Sept. i Reliable in formation is at hand that some 400 Chinese uro to be shipped from heie via Sun Francisco, purporting to be acrobats, Jnagleis, etc., for the Phila delphia exhibition, and that ceitain men here have received certain sums of money to cause them to be I. in led in America, and the Chinese believe that they will be ullowcd to remain there. The tint batch of 100 have gone for ward in the Nippon Maru. There is no doubt that these Chinamen are simply hciug smuggled into America to remain there. iu.- Men Killed. Pittsburg, Sept. 4.
