NEW YORK. Sept 4 The New York
Financier pan this week
The question that confronts the Now York
hankn at present Is how to furnlfth the thirty
or forty millions unuolly requlrc-el to move
the crops , on a reserve that Is below fif
teen millions Ordinarily the sltuntlon
would be regarded as critical , but condi
tions nro such that money rates have ad
vanced barely 1 per cent and the outlook
IB regarded with equanimity
The surplim reserve of the banks Is now
lower than at any time since the presidential
election of 1896 It will be retailed that
money during the close of that campaign
rose to prohibitive figures and gold flowed
from Kuropo In consequence It docs not
seem possible that specie imports will be
elclajed much longer , but the Incentive of
very high rates will be locking The dome -
mo Uc money nupply was never more abun
dant but the sale of bonds and the col
lection of war tax. coupled with a stop
page of heavy ex-ndlture | , are locking up
the money In the treasury at the expense-
of the banks If this money can be placed
In depository Institutions the situation will
be relieved , but the difficulty of obtaining
bonds as secutity for public deposits has
operated to retard the transfers
As it Is the treasury reserve stands at
the highest point In Its history , while the
majorlty of the Now York banks are loaned
up to the-lr legal limit ami many are below
the required renervo It was expected , In
view of these clrcumwtances , that the loan
will have to be called in , but the statement
shows a small Increaro In the- totals I tie *

HAVANA , Aug. 30 Another army Is
about to Invade Cuba , an army armed
with merchandise In place of Runs In
stead of dlRKltiK trenches It will build fac
tories and open stores This American army
of peaceful occupation U composed of men
who work with money , with their bauds or
with their heads Any member of it cm-
barking without onoURh money to live on
for half a jcor had better turn back To
como to Cuba penniless Just now U llko
Becking death One cannot get stmtcnance
out of an orange that has been Bijueezed by
n mailed hand. It takes time to recon
struct that which war has destrojed
Meanwhile the point of attack will not be
Santiago The base of supplies will be
Cuba'a metropolis , Havana What kind of
a place will the Invading American find
this Havana to be'
The steamer drops anchor In the harbor
half a mile from shore Small boats swarm
around In one of these boats the American
Is rowed ashore The waters of Havana
harbor are alwa > s rough The spr.iy wets
the Amcrlcan'H 'J.IECHKO , his clothes , his
face He c.in see plenty of opportunities for
the employment of his energies all about
The small boat should be supplanted by a
tender to meet all Incoming steamers , until
the harbor Is dredged and a dock Is built
at which ocean steamers can land The
boatman hpeaks only Spanish. The Ameri
can speaks only Hngllsh and has no time
to study lingo Therefore , Havana must
learn to use the tongue of Americans That
Spanish rule Is no more , that the yellow
flag of the Dons Is down , Is not enough
The language , too , must go As the boat
leaps over the waves through the spray
the American espies , on bl'ore a great
circular building Inbtlnctlvel ) he knows
tint that is the arena where matadores
have been In the habit of ulaylnu bulls on
Sunday afternoons And foithwith that
arena Is doomed Hvon the Cubans shall
not bo permitted to conduct a slaughter
house for public amusement Thus , with
the arrival of the Yankee , a thousand cus
toms of life and trade In Havana will be
come Incongruous The city will bo sub
jected to a healthful injection of Ameri
canism.
Murv ictloii In lit lilcne'e- .
The American steps ashore and Into n
\otun , n small victoria pulled bj a
wheezy horse The streets of any city
are full of humiliations for the sensitive
spirit , but on the way to his hotel the
\mrilcan finds Havana's streets full of
lghts that more than humiliate They
.ire sights that Inspire Indignation against
the Inhumanlt ) that caused them. These
narrow stieets are full of abject mleer )
The carriage brushes against Indescilbablc
povertv Whole families arc huddled to
gether on the pavements Their homes are
the gutters Little , naked children hold
out skeleton-like hands for ccntavoj.
Human beings , reconcentrados , wrecks
such Is the hMory of these famllleb
Americans will find all Cuba strewn with
these wrecks Tor months to come they
will block the channels of trade Just as
marine wrecks obstruct navigation.
The votura turns Into another street and
the American beholds a , man milking a cow
In front of a doorway This Is the tjpi-
cal milkman of Havana He drives his cow
from door to door , giving to each housewife
the exact quantity of milk desired The
das of this milkman's prosperity are num
bered. In a few weeks milk wagons ,
gorgeous in paint of many colors will be
lushing through the streets The American
milkman will have supplanted the Cuban
and his cow.
The carriage rolls on , or , rather , rocks
and pitches on , like a ship in a storm Tor
the street , llko a sea , has billows and
troughs But the American , remembering
how his own stieets nro not paved , feels at
home The street Is not wide enough for
carriages to pass each other The sidewalk
Is so narrow that even lovers must walk
In Indian ( lie The American Is only nlnot )
miles from the United States shore , yet
heie are streets more foreign In appearance
than those he once traveled 3,000 miles to sue
lu Kuropc. To enjoy the o Havana streets
a man must have an ee for the picturesque
and the leisure to lounge The American
simply notices that the houses are enl ) two
stories high , and he looks reproachful , de
ploring the waste of sky-space
During his biief ride the American sees
a great many negroes He does not know
It , but of everv three people In Cuba one
Is a negro These negroes are growling
Their giovvl is sinister "We did the lightIng -
Ing , " they say , "and now wo want some
of the rewards , some representation in the
Independent government gained by our
fighting "
Thf l.icli.l of MIIIIIIIIII.
Eventual ! ) , the Yankee arrives at his
hotel and Is shown to a room with a stone
floor , a high celling and a denith of water
and towels Ho rings. Ho rings again
In liftcen minutes , moie or less , a boy ap
pears and receives the oreler for the missIng -
Ing rceiulsltcE rifteen minuets later the
bov returns with water , and still tvvent )
minutes after that ho leturns with the
towels , the American having broken the-
boll , incunv.hlle , with his frantic ringing
The Yankee's troubles have begun. He
! H In tin ) land of manana , of tomoirow , of
any time excepting now. No injection of
YankcclBin will ever cure thn Cuban of hlfc
Incilflcrence to the clock The Invading
American discovers , almost Immediately ,
that all Cubans view him with suspicion
because ) e-ars of oppression have taught
them to suspect everybody. Ho finds that
any Cubin tradesman can tell more lies
In a single Interview than any three Amer
icans. Tlrst manana , then a lie. After
proscrastlnatlon , prevarication In these
respects the Cuban and the Spaniard arc
alike The American finds that , though the
Spanish are no longer In politics , .Spaniards
still remain In the social and mercantile
life of the city. Ho will have ) considerable
dllllculty In distinguishing u Cuban from a
Spaniard.
Now the Yankee looks for lodgings He
finds he can get a fair apartment for $10 n
month , und the best to bo had for $ JO Cof-
feti In the mornings Is thrown In. Ever )
morning he will bo awakened by n man
standing over htm with a huge cup of cof-
feij , made as only a Cuban can make It
That Is all the Yankee ) gets In the way of
food until breakfast , at 11. He begins the
day's work with a clear head If he sleeps
after C a. m he loses ehe loveliest part of
the day The. American must learn In
Havana to ke < > p Huvaneto hours That Is ,
his working day Is from 7 to 11 and from 1
to G.

This subject of t'nclo Ham will invade
< ho Cuban homo and find the women sit
ting all day In rocking chairs , stroking the
feathers of their paroquets , smoking cigar
ettes or doing nothing They wull. with
awkward gait , for they walk not enough
and wear shoos that are too short Senoras
and Eenorltas coat their faces with powder
as with u ghastly mask They know
more about powder for the complexion
than about baking powder At t-ocUl
