WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. The bureau of insular affairs of the War department haa prepared a statement of what the United Etatee accomplished during the military oo ctipatloa of Cuba, from July IS, 1898, to Jrfay 18.1902. At tha close of hostilities In Cuba, It la stated, the country ws la a atata of do- ton and ruin, both aa to tts political organisation and lta Industrial condition. Without precedent to guide and many of them without pravlou experience In state affairs, the officer of tho United Stataa army undertook to set up form of govern ment which would provide sufficient rev enues for the needs and which would be developed into a stable and lasting ays. tain. Sixteen custom bouses were established, eve at the chlaf port, Havana, and others at the principal subnort of the island and tartfla were put In force. VThe principal changes In the tariff bave been the gradual reduction of duties on import from time to time until April 1, 1901, v. hen the du ties were entirely abolished. FostofTlce were opened throughout the Inland and native postmasters were fcp potnted. More than 800 .postof&ces were established There Vnt establlahed a department of flounce, err1ked ever by a general treas urer, a'id l is provincial treasurers, one for each erovi.ice. Subsequently these prov inces were redlatrlcted and formed Into eleven so-called fiscal xones. These officers conducted the assessment and collection of coayevance. Inheritance, commercial and In dustrial taxes and administered Internal af fairs municipal schools, hospitals, publlo r". rtw . Industries and stocking farms and plautattona. Thousands of brood cattle and horses were purchased and re acid to the natives on easy terms, enabling fVra to resume work which would not etherwle have been possible. 31a r ehooln.oaaes Provided.

Aa a sanitary measure the streets of jr.any of the cities were paved and exten sive system of sewerage constructed. . The harbors of the island ware greatly Improved, an admirable system of buoys and beacons was established, government warehouses and docks were repaired and constructed, and ' regulations conforming to those la vogue in this country govern ing the harbors of the isiaad were estab lished. The total revenues from all sources col lected during tha occupation was 157,200.000 and the expenditures therefrom 156,870,000, the remainder having been turned over to the republlo of Cuba at the time of the withdrawal of United Etata authority on ilay 18.

Thomas Redrfguei, gen eral of the Auguatlnlans and supreme head of the whole order, wh' is very powerful at Rome, will leave hr1 -orrow for Na ples, where he will ' V steamship Llgurla, selling next W.. -r New York. Father Rodrlguei iiv'' erst vis'.t to the United States. Te general of the Auguatlnlans v a repcisentstlve of the Associated today with great cordiality. As It wa known that his Journey to the United States wae attributed to aa Intention to send American Augnstinlans to replace the Spanish members of the brder now In the Philippines. Father Rodrlguei, when ques tioned on this matter, said no'.htng definite had been decided. "Nothing can be done." aald Father Rodrlguei, "while the negotiations are stilt pending between the holy see and the United Elates. Whoever 1 Impartial r st sdmlt tt to be strange that, while Was i tngton cannot or will not expel the frla from the Philippine archipelago, It shouKl request this to ba done by the Vatican, whose principal duty and interest Is to protect the friars, both materially and mor ally. ' "The truth la that the frlart re fiot bated by a majority of the Filipinos, but only by that fraction which wanted to get rid of them in order ta be left without curb or law. This I verified myself when. In IRAS, I visited the Islands from end to end, and I bave bad confirmation of tbie statement In recent reports, which eay that friar bave been called again to par ishes outside of Manila which they left after the revolution of 1898, this being partly due to their excellent work In the preaent cholera scourge. "The reault la that the Augnstinlans now again occupy ten places outside of Manila. Tbey would easily be able to return to all the abandoned Interior dlstricte, where tbey formerly administered religion to I, 600,000 Filipinos if the civil government of the Islands showed more energy in re pressing the rebellious elements which are against the Americana not leas than against the friara. ' "The experience will convince Washing ton," continued the head of the Auguatln lans, " of the necessity of having the Phil ippines under strict rule, aa the natives are entirely lacking In the natural qual ities of political education to govern them selves. If autonomy la granted them one year will be sufficient to reduce the Is lands to anarchy, the most powerful Fili pino becoming the beads of so-many tribes or factions. "With regard to tha substitution of American for Spanish Auguatlnlans In tbe Islands, the difficulty le that while the friara of our order In the Philippines et one time numbered over sue and a-ven ww amount to 130, those In the United Statee. who are mostly at Vlllanova, aoar Phila delphia, number only about 100 and of them scarcely ten could ba apared. "Governor Taft shows great Intelligence and ability In bringing forward arguments and evidence favorable to bis plans, bat he Ignored tbe other aide. I Intedaed to eon tradtct a pamphlet written by Jitro, which, wae traniOftted Into. Italian, and wj'l';' cu'.nte.l in Rome, but abandoned the Idea la view of the little interest In this sub ject taken here by the generality ef the public. However, there Is a book written by an Augustinlan which confute the dif ferent' publication by Governor Taft against tha friar.

The position 'of President Castro at Cua, twenty-five miles from Caraoes is s;l:l com plicated. His forces csncct advance be cause of she heavy rains and the conse quent difficulties In transporting artlllary. The revolutionists have found It very diffi cult to march over the country and tho'r proposed operations will take longer than ea expected.

OPPOSITION PROVES TO BE BENEFICIAL Actios ( Meaiire'i Adversaries Dr. vetopes Maeh Good la Dlaclos l" Neaeeslty of Aarrecnaeat with Cabaa Gsvcramest (From a Btaff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. (Special.) One of the first paper sent to the senate when that body reconvenes in December Will be a treaty of reciprocity between the republlo of Cuba and the United 8tates. While the convention Is not yet an ac complished fact, the negotiations have proceeded far enough to warrant the statement that it will be ready for tbe at tention at the senate ae aeon a that branch of tha government assembles. Political events In tbe northwest during the last few weeks have demonstrated that those who opposed concession to the new republic during the last day of the ces sion of congress which recently closed were not in harmony with their constitu ents. While the beet sugar industry ha made great strides since the first factory was established, some eight or ten year ago. It ba not grown to such an extent a to secure the unqualified support of any one tate. California, Michigan, Nebraska, Min nesota and New York raise many ton of sugar beets and other states In tha union re also devoting a great amount of aofe- ge to this new Industry. But the same statee are also heavily Interested la the production of flour, meat product and manufacturee which Cuba need. While aympathy la felt for tbe father f the new Industry, keener Interest is maintained In other and older commercial affairs, and In consequence the men who looked upon the eugar beet as the prime produce of their respective states have found that they have antagonised ten mon where they pleased one. The eonsequenoe has been that those members who opposed the policy of Pres ident McKinley and of Preeldent Roccjo eU and Joined the force of the so-called lneurgenU" have had a ery hard time la explaining themselves and their eourss to the people who sent them to Washington a representative in congress. Some of these men have failed to ac cure renomtnation. Other pulled through only by narrow margin and still others will probably be "left at the post" la No vember. Beaeflelal Reaalta Develea. Still the acUoa of the men who defeated lh.e. prM'dent' Cubn policy ha not been wiinout buDuciai results. tiaa tn so called reciprocity bill secured a majority of both booses of congress there would hare remained no assurance whatever that It enactment Into law would have re sulted in prompt reciprocal trad conci sions on the part of Cub.

"Helsta' Manyena" wait till tomor row U the almost universal poller of the Spanish-American people. . It la therefore easy to understand that If the republic of Cuba had secured every thing desired from the United States through legislative enactment Its state ment would In all probability have Insisted that "tomorrow" would afford ample op portunity for the preparation-of a recipro cal trade treaty which will assure to American farmers and manufacturer something tangible la return for heavy tariff reduction upon Cuban products It la learned that the forthcoming treaty will practically assure the control of the Cu ban market to the American. It will be practically a re-enactment of the provisions of the treaty between Spain and the United States, which wa negotiated by former Senator Palmer of Michigan, while United State minister to Madrid, and which will open up In Cub a market for American meat, flour, provtalon and machinery which wa .never before. Cuba will obtain In tho United State a market for her ugar, tobacco and frulta, and In return will take what ehe need from the United States Instead of F!vpe. The coura of tn j..t .agar men will not hav been . without material benefit t this country, therefore, and It 1 per. haps Just as well that they declined to Indorse the president' policy without a treaty. That treaty will be ratified, and that promptly, needs no demonstration. Contractors' Ryadleat Probable. Hundred of large contractor la every part of the United S.tates are Impatiently awaiting tha final declsloa of ths presi dent Upon the question of the Isthmian canal. Juat as soon as Mr. Roosevelt le ready to announce that the AtUntlo-FaclBo connection will be constructed via Panama or Tie Nicaragua and Costa Rica, tbess men will be ready to submit formal pro posals for doing tha work. . It Is safe to assert that there 1 not a eontrsctor of any Importance in the coun try who bae not secured every possible bit of Information available ae to the char acter of tha work to be done on each of the routes. They know, fully as wall as the government engineer. Juat what tha char acter of the land to b excavated ia. f ome of them have made careful estimate as to the number of yards of earth and the num ber of tone of rock to be removed in order to obtain a waterway through either or both of the proposed routes. It is quits likely that A syndicate will ba formed, composed of the great railroad builder of ths country men who have bad wide experience In every state of the union and others who hav in ths past performed much of the work upon the river and harbors. In fact. It I knowa that such a syndicate Is even ndw in pro cess of Incubation. Those interested have experts of their own in Central America looking over the two routes.

For several years, however, he had suffered from a heart affection, principally a weakness brought on by overwork, and bad guarded himself agalust It, but the extra responsibilities In the senate thrown upon blm last winter, together with the shock of losing a brother, son and grandson within one year, are believed to have aggravated hi trouble. He was at the Essex Country club yes terday - afternoon, and while playing golf was obliged to pass over a small hill, which ao affected bis breathing that he wae obliged to stop, and being overcome by a slight falntness, he went for a stimu lant, which revived him and tbe attack passed away.

CONVALESCENT HOME FOR OFFICERS t'rarea la Glvlaar Favorite Residence of Lata dates Victoria that Ills People Always tiara Ac cess to Balidlaa;. LONDON. Aug. 10. Th festivities la London wsr continued today. There were considerable crowds almost all day long In the vicinity of Buckingham palace and along tbe route ot yesterday' procession viewing the decoration and watching th flow of notable personages to and from the various thanksgiving services. Ia the evening Ihe Canadian arch, which Is an exceptional novelty tor Sunday, was brilliantly Illuminated and wa a great center of attraction and served to bring an Immense concourse ot people Into the neighborhood. In spit of the welcome an nouncement made last night that King Ed ward bad borne the fatigue of coronation day well, today' bulletin concerning hi health wa awaited with' a eertaln degree of anxiety. Perhaps this is tbe reason that hi majesty' physician Issued the bulletin gt the rather unusually early hour of 9:110 o'clock. Because of the early hour very few people were about when It wa posted at the gate of th palace. The bulletin I a follow: His majesty bore the strain ot the eor onatlon ceremony perfectly well and ex perienced but little fatigue. The king had a good night and his condition la In every way satisfactory. No further bulletin will be Issued. '. (Signed.) TREVF.S. LAK.ING. Goes Oat for a Drlva. After the posting ot the bulletin there was still some doubt as to whether hi majesty would drive out today, but the small crowd that remained at Buckingham palace hopeful to eee the sovereign, waa rewarded by the appearance of the king and queen, they were accompanlrd by Princess Victoria, Prince Charles of Denmark, Prtnc and Princes Henry ot Prussia and the crown prince of Denmark and were at tended by a large following of the royal household. . The procession drove along the Mall and 8t- Jamea palace without receiving any notable demonstration from the people. Tickets to the cbapn! royal bad been spar ingly granted. Tbe ckulr boy who took part in the service In ths chapel were clad tn quaint gowas of crimson knd gold lace. The1 Service ' -vet? simple, special prayers for the occasion, however, were . read. The service lasted about one hour and was brought to a clos by tbe congre gation, still upon its knee, singing slowly and softly the first stania ot the national anthem. An almost Identical service to the one bM at tffe chapel royal of St. James was conducted at Marlborough house chapel and attended by the prince of Wales and his family and other royal personages. An other official service, attended by William Conrt Gully, speaker of th Houae of Com mons, members of tha houae, and tbe min ister waa held at 8t. Margarets church, Westminster. The mayor and corporation ot Westminster, In their official robe were present at the service. . Service at tt. Paal'a. Th most Interesting ot all the services was that held at St. Paul'. Thla waa essentially a people' service In gratitude and thankfulness thst the sovereign had been restored to hi health and It pre sented a striking contrast to the sad erv lc of supplication held there la June, oa the day tbe coronatloa should have takea place. Today the public were freely admitted to tbe cathedral. The lord mayor of London and tbe coronation of the elty attended in state and In the choir were seated rrlnc Henry ef Batlenberg, the duchess of Fife, the duchess ot Albany, with prolonged service Included several ot the the royal children and a large number of diplomats. The very elaborate and musical measures, which were performsd at Westminster abbey yesterday and the celebration of holy communion. Tbe ser mon waa preached by ths bishop of London. Rev. Arthur F. W. .Ingram. Tha scens was especially Impressive when at the close of the services the vast gathering Joined In singing ths national anthem. Tha newspapers today hava besa rather ridiculous In some of their comment upon th event of yesterday. To read thes papers one would Imagine that no one had ever looked to be In better health thaa King Edward. One exception to tha fore going Is In Reynold' Weekly newspaper, which, whatever Its standing, baa, nevsr thelees, a tremendous circulation among the maaeea, and at least on this occasion It had a good foundation for I's descrip tion and estimation of the crowd yester day. The paper alleges that a "mighty greeting" was accorded King Edward and Queen Alexis, but says: Kitchener Center ot Attraction. "Ths ons man tha populace knsw and desired to cheer above them all wss Lord Kitchener. He was no glided peer, be cause be waa descended on the lefthand tide from tbe harem of a seventeenth cen tury monarch. He sat his horse like a Centaur, a grtm, stetn and never smiling figure; a man who had accomplished some thing. History may rate hi achievements poor, but history will have to aay hs worked. Tbe crowd was not repslled by Lord Kitchener's cold and almost callous lndlfferencs." "I wonder," continue th writer, "what these mighty personage, who, for all ths crowd, eared, might hav been figure In waxwork, thought of th conduct of tho multitude. The crowd would have naught to do with young pinchbeck halt-doi4 royalists; your Mecklenburg-Strelltze. your rhleswe!g-Holetetns nor even your dukes of Sparta. Crown princes of Ger many were passed by as tt tbey were Dick, Tom and Harry. Even the prlnqe and prlncea of Wales were passed by with little more than a murmur of appreciation. Perhaps tbe most satlsfsctory testure ef tu vccsiioa wss ths ' jeser;'. rcfuri! f the democracy to make themselves .absurd by over effusive demonstrations. Of the thirty or fifty royal peraonages, not more than half a doieo aroused wbat could be tailed, enthusiasm. Que Ai.nanJrs'g
