THE COU

SOME EFFECTS OF THE AMERI
CAN OCCUPATION OF CUBA.
The Nebraska Sanitarium.

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.'
Here is the advertisement of au 'Ameri
can restaurant,' taken from its busineBB
card:
