of atx regiments of regular Infantry.
The Twentieth, now at Fort Leavenworth,

Major General Lawton has been in com

AMERICAN CONTROL
WORKING MORE SMOOTHLY.
But the Change In Tariff Laws at Ha
vana Causes Some Annoyance Po.
He Organisation Progressing.
. NEW YOKK. Jan. J.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: American
control In Cuba works smoothly. Gen.
erals Brooke and Ludlow are 'beginning
the reorganization of the civil adminis
tration satisfactorily.
The Cubans aro well pleased. Part of
the Spaniards are sullen, but the commer.
cial classes are satisfied with the new
regime. The understanding Is that no
members of the former autonomist cab.
lnetare to be Included In General Brooke's
proposed council of advisors. They are
all unpopular and lack the comldence ot
both elements. Civil Governor do Cas.
tro, by order of the military authori
ties, has abolished the use of passports
and of stamped parr In the government
offloe. They ware annoyances. Prompt
steps have also been taken tor Improving
the section of hygiene.
The chief Interest on Monday centered
at the custom house. Colonel Bliss was
assisted by the treasury expert, Mr. Don
aldson, who will be In charge at Bun.
tlago. The merchants had prepared for
a change. Since noon on Bunaay ntteen
vessels had entered the harbor with car.
goes, for discharge under the American
tariff. The first was the Norwegian
schooner Kitty, from Mobile, with gen
eral merchandise. A Spanish ship, the
Mexico, of Barcelona, arrived in ballast.
Among Monday's arrivals was the Segur.
arte a, from New York, with merchandise.
American shippers seem to have improved
their opportunities. Some confusion re
sulted, as no tariff rates had been trans,
lated Into Spanish. That deficiency will
soon b corrected. The Importers had
secured American money with which to
pay duties.
The postofflce service tut the city and
