HAVANA , Oct. 24. ( Special Correspond- ' 'I ' cnce of The IHe. ) IJualncss In Cuba Is j In a state of euspcnsc of complete utagna- , tlou. No progress In any Industrial branch Is to bo expected until the political status of the Island becomes fixed and stable. Cubans , Spanish and Americans , merchants of all nationalities , are simply watting for the Spanish troops to get out and the Ameri can roldlcrs to como In. Meanwhile the era of progress Is being postponed by the eternal manana of the Spanish evacuation commis sioners. The American commissioners Ilml little to do e\ccpt to go fishing ami shark- hunting , while the patriotic Spanish officers of all ranks are tr > lng to fill their pockets with the loot that Is to bo carried off when the final manana comes around. Robbing the people , cheating the govern ment , stealing public funds , picking private pockets , fleecing the lambs called strangers , plucking the geese called promoters , these nro the occupations of the Spanish military officials , of the Spanish civil authorities and of Spanish and Cuban merchants at present. Flour I'nxncd IIH Charcoal. Corruption is practiced openly , even ostentatiously , like the charity of the hypocritical. If one doubts this ho has only to walk down to the imchlna , the custom house wharf , to find the proof. Here ho may see , as the correspondent did the other day , blacks at work unloading sacks from the lighters. The sacks were labeled "charcoal , " but tlif- process of piling them In heaps on the wharf scattered a fine white dust. This does not mean that white charcoal has been Invented , for when the correspondent dipped liln lingers In the white dust and tasted It , ho THE ! CUSTOM HOUSE. HAVANA , AND CHURCH , THE WALLS OP W HIGH ARE RENTED FOR SIGNS. tasted ( lour. The sacks were consigned to n Spanish importer In Mnnzanlllo 1,000 sacks of Hour marked as charcoal. The Inference was clear that some ono was cheating the government out of Import duties , or that the custom house officials were permitting the government to bo cheated. Later , on presenting a letter of Introduc- I tlon to a well known Cuban merchant In Havana , the correspondent mentioned the Hour which had como In as charcoal. "Tut , " | eald the merchant , "that Is a mere Hem. That man In Manzanlllo has been receiving monthly shipments of that name charcoal for jcars. The thing Is easy You sco my neighbor across the street. Ho cables his buyer in No\\ York to ship a thousand tlorcis of lard. The buyci geta the consignment on board ship and malls to Has ana a mani fest calling for 1,000 barrels of potatoes. Here the customs house inspector allows the Impoiter's drajs to haul away the sup posed barrels of potatoes , a cargo upon which there has been tbU difference In tariff prices A tloice of lard weighs GOO pounds , and the duty la 5 cents a pound , a barrel of potatoes weighs only ISO pounds , and the duty Is only 2 cents a pound The dut > on the cargo of lard \\ould have amounted to $25,000 , but the amount paid for the cargo of potatoes was only $3,000 , a na\lng of jrJ.OOO In consideration of thlh na\lng , the customs house Inspector , of course , recedes f hl reward " liirrenneil Port Untie * . Such Is the way mislnctw has been con ducted In Havana for yearn. Robbery of the go\crnmcnt has boon so systematized that It has become a eclence. With a ter mination of thh state of affairs In sight , the extent of bribery now Is almost bejond belief. In a Btay of a week or KO a man who keeps hla eyes open can nee a score of casw ; to bo e\pl lined only on the hypothesis of brlberj of officials. The largest and most laluabfo cargoes dwindle to almost nothing under the skillful handling of the Importers nnd the otllccrs of the port. The approaching end of various sine- cureB Is causing the par ticipants In benefits accruing from the pres ent sjstcm to neglect no opportunity. It Is a case of "steal quickly , grab c\cryHilng In slglit , for coon wo will ha\c to cut nnd run" Meantime , port duties hnvo been trebled , obsolete rules have been revived and new rules created Importers who do not or will not stand In with the customs house 11- epeetors have been obliged to suspend busi ness Kor Instance , the port di'tles on a ton of flour \alued at $70 amounting to $4J 50 A ca o of a ilozrn cans of beans valued at SO cents Is taxed $2 30 Ihcjo exorbitant duties ha\o been Im posed with the object of exclu llnr. as far as possible , all shipments of fool , the ulterior motive being ono of which .ho world at largo Is ignorant , namely , the disposal of quantities of provisions in the himls of the military government Die statement that during the war the Span ardi In Cuba had no supplies was quite crrou ° o'3 IK a mat ter of fact , the Spanish mllltiry goiernmont , Curwo < .Ing the war , made immenKe shipments of food to all parts of IIL ! Isl.inil , stocking every store and consign ng goo Is to nil the Importers and Jobbers. And now , with .he cad of Its domination < n s tit. the Spanish j uillltary government has still on ham ) about 23,000 sacks of flour , 15.000 barrels of beans , 10,000 boxes of Norwegian coilflah and 1,000 capos of condensed milk. These goods are offered at prices below coat , are sold. In fact , at any figure , with the Idea of turning everything Into cash before the time conies to give nn accounting. At the same time the stock In the hands of private dealers Is . spoiling for want of purchasers at even reas- 1 enable prices. And the government , as long as It has a pound of food left will continue to undersell the dealers. Thus the expulsion of a rotten government 13 being marked by an epoch of shameful In trigue , of underhanded dealing and of whorc < = ale lying and cheating. Individuals are following the example set by the gov ernment , and many a merchant In Havana , honest till now , will never be honest again. No ono asks questions , and each ulmply potkets the money that cotnifl his way. Mul.liiK Mmii'j- from btiirtitllon , The feeding of the rcconcentrados has been a source of gain to ncarl > all who handled the money contributed for the pur pose. During It u blockade and up to the present time cnot'ph ' money has been con- | trlbuted , In Havana alone , to feed every one of the city's 30,000 rcconcentrados three square meals a day. Tor Instance , 8 cents a day bujs enough food for each hungry one It Is sufficient to glvo each a quart of soup and a half a pound of bread dally. Thu money was contributed by private subscrip tions gathered by the government's agents- enough money to spend $2,100 dally In giv ing the 30,000 poor their 8 cents' worth of food Hut Instead of a quart of soup and half a pound of bread dairy , the reconcen- j trades received a quart of soup and a half pound of bread weekly. In other words , the 8 cents for each starving ono was expended once every seven da > s Instead of every day. The balance , which was a magnificent amount , was put down as "expense. " This matter will probably never be Investigated , although there are rcllablo witnesses In the city who will testify that ono merchant alone has made $75,000 as his share of the profits of feeding the poor. Officials who wcro In poverty before the war are now buyIng - Ing city real estate. Gambling houses are wide open In all the principal streets , WlUi the Interpreter fioni the Inglatcrra hotel the correspondent visited hoven of thcso houses In ono evening , all within gunshot of niauco's palace. The principal patrons of the tables are Spanish aimy officers. These gambling houses vvero given licenses at the beginning of the war , and were made to pay a heavy tax , which was to swell the fund for feeding the starv ing. Within the past few days the govern-1 ment has ceased feeding the starving , but the gambling houses arc still doing business and still paying the heavy tax. Odd IIiiMliinvH AVnjN * Business methods In Havana have always been peculiar. Counting out the tbe retailers - j ers , the merchants are divided into two classes , the Importers and the wholesalers. There are four Importers and twentv-thrco wholesalers. The wholesalers do no 1m- ' porting , but buy everything of the four Im porters , the reason being that Cuban mer chants , or rather merchants In Cuba , Ions I ago ruined their credit with the outside I world. Of recent vears It has become the ' custom to refuse to sell to wholesalers In ' Cuba unless the house making the purchase I has a representative banker In the port 1 from which the shipment Is made. Thus , the four Importers of Havana , able to place money on deposit at the ports of shipment , I control all the trade with the outside world. Among all the Havana merchants business I I methods are characterized by a looseness that Is astonishing to an American. A mer chant , for examyle , wishes $3,000 cash to pay for a consignment of goods. Ho sends a tlerk with a verbal message to another mer- thant , who promptly hands over the money. Then the borrower , having finished some tiansactlon that was pending during the day , sends back the cash to the lender. There 1 > no note , no memorandum This Is going on all the time These nro merely cash loans of convenience , based upon word of honor , nnd their security Is the certain Knowledge that sales will be effected to make possible thi'lr redemption. There seems to be plenty of floating cur rency In the city , but rates of exchange are peculiar. An American fl/j-dollir bill Is worth eight Spanish silver lollats ; b , t a Spanish paper dollar , the cuirenn of the I Bank of Spain is worth only 0 cents In our money. The prices of the most ordlmiy article * are htlll exorbitant. Tor a bo'.tle of mu- clljgo , sold for 5 cents In New York , ono ! pajs 40 cents In sliver hero. A paper of pins Is C5 cents , a siphon of beltzer CO cut8. .
