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

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.

Aa a sanitary measure the streets of
jr.any of the cities were paved and exten

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

ROME. Aug. JO. 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';'

The position 'of President Castro at Cua,

(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. The Inhabit
ants of the Queen of the Antilles, like all
tropical and ml-troplcl peoples, are
miioo Ivn to the '.habit of putting off un
til tomorrow., what ought to be eon to'
day. "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. When the time come they
will be ready to bid Intelligently for the
work and It la more tha a likely that some
such syndicate will undertake the whole
project and early completion will thereby
be assured.

There Is no longer any doubt as to the
final approval of tbo plan of tha Penntyl

an early hour this morning, at his summer
home at Mancheeter-by-the-Sea, Mass.
Death was the result of heart failure, fol

Elmwood cemetery. The body of his son.
Captain John H. McMillan, who served In
the Spanish war and who died several
months ago. rests there.

Attacked While Playlna; Gelf.
MANCHESTER, Mae., Aug. 10. Senator
McMillan was In his usual good health up
to yesterday afternoon. 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. He wept home without finish
ing the came and at dinner time waa very
Jovial and light-hearted. He remained up
quite late In the evening, talking and Jok
ing with the family, but at midnight
suffered a severe ill turn, being pressed
for breath and experiencing considerable
pain. A physician was called, who admin
istered the usual heart tonics, which bsd
the desired effect and the patient rested
comfortably until S o'clock, when another
attack came on, more severe than the
first. The physician applied by hypodermlo
Injections the most powerful heart stimu
lants iuown to medical science, but the
drugs had no effect whatever and the sen
ator continued to sink until hs lout con
sciousness ten mfnutes before his death.
Another physician waa sent for after ths
second attack, but did not arrive until
after the aenator had passed away. There
were around tbe deathbed Mr. McMillan,
their daughter. Amy, and a granddaughter,
Mies Jarvls.
Senator McMillan had been a summer
resident of Mancbeater for seven years, he
having purchased the old Towns estate at
Eagle Head, which he had improved and
beautified In many ways until It is now
one of the finest estates on the north shore.
The funeral arrangement hav not been
perfected, but 4h service will take place
from the senator's lsts home In Detroit
and the interment will be In the family lot
in that city.

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
