The Nebraska Sanitarium. i r The story of the reconstruction of Cuba, by Franklin Matthews, la to be published in September UDder the title "The New-Born Cuba." Judging from the papers as they appeared in Harper's Weekly, this will be one of the most in teresting books of the war. No one, unless bo has read the book, can really appreciate the magnitude of the task that faced the American army of oc cupation, or the admirable way in which order waa brought out of chaos. There were also many amusing features connected with the reconstruction which are well described by Mr. Mat thewH. "The most striking signs of American military occupation," according to Mr. Matthews, "outside of the aotual pres ence of our soldiers, were the placards poated up in every cafe and drinking place in the city to the effect that by order of General Ludlow positively no alcoholic liquoi a were to be sold to our soldiers. Everywhere in Havana there were brilliant lithographs advertising various brands of American beer. It was a wonder that some enterprising agent bad not plastered the sides of Morro Castle with these signs. One would think, from the number of them in town, that we were simply a nation of beer-guzzlers. One noticed with satisfaction, to offset this, that in many of the shops were signs, 'English Spok en Here;' and American bicycle stores, typewriting establishments, haberdash ery stores were a pleasant relief to 'Greater New York Cafes.' 'St. Louis Cabinets,' and 'Chicago Retreats' that had sprung upon all sides. The Ameri can occupation of Havana came home to me with a jar one day when I was passing through busy Obispo street, as I read this sign: "STOP, AMERIOAMS! CHEWING-GUM SOLD HERE! TEN CENTS A PACKAGE!" "It wbb not wise to take too seriously the sign 'English Spoken Here.' The interpreter frequently lived, or did business, half a block away, and some times he could not be found. When be did arrive, his English waa likely to correspond toan advertisement that I bbw at the entrance to a barber shop. It read: 'Very good works made here.'
