IMPATIENT FOR THE AMERICANS An End in Sight of the Official Corruption. INHERITANCE OF DEBTS —_.> [Copyright. 1808, by Charles M. Pepper. From a Staff Correspondent of The Evening Star. HAVANA, Cuba, December 3, 1808. Spain's getting out of Cuba proceeds with less hitch than the United States’ coming in to take possession. The big transports in the harbor ure loaded rapidly. The Span- ish soldiers all appear anxious to sail for home. They are a little curious over the American troops, but they show no ill- feeling. The bearing of both officers and men is not that of a vanquished army. Captain General Blanco’s farewell address to the troops breathed no spirit of defeat. Yet Blanco went aboard the vessel that was to convey him back to Spain after nightfall. Seemingly he could not endure the chagrin and humiliation of a public demonstration when he s leaving. He is off without the further humiliation of seeing the American flag raised on Morro Castle and without the necessity of ex- changing official courtesies with an Ameri- can military commander named Fitzhugh Lee. The populace of Havana, knowing something of the events of last spring, be- ed that Blanco would have to deliver up his sword to General Lee. That was the pmony to which the more ignorant clas: were looking forward as the visible evi- wa dence that Snain had given way to the United States. They think that Blanco hurried away to save his sword from Lee. Whatever bitterness the officers feel is not allowed to find expression. Sometimes their resentment toward the s natural. No overt demon- ade and collisions between the Cuber m are rare. Speaking generally, if the American troops behave themselves in taking control Spanish troops have in yieldir . their record will be a creditable one. Vana itself continues quiet during th sition period excent for the great iner in_petty crimes. This comes from the in- efficent volicing of the city. The commu- nity knows the task that awaits the United s well as the States and shrugs its should At one ume the intention was to t least a portion of the battacion ef orden public who had been pron a pir discha from the Snanish army with the under- standing that the American military com- anders. would continue them as a police fore They mutinied for their y and were shipped home.

Why isn't: your flag raised? Why do you Ict those 3 iards continue robbing us?” and a rapid- fi volley of similar questions. It fs hard- ly fair for the Havana business men to hold individual Americans who are here personally responsible for the good nature jof the American government in tolerating the exercise of Spanish authority for so long a period. These individual citizens themselves have never becn able to unde stand it fully. I tried to explain to th indignant merchant that the American gov- ernment was human, and therefore some times made mistakes. One of these mi takes was in believing what the Sy rd said about their inability to embark their troops in accordance with the letier and the spirit of the protocol, which provided for the immediate evacuation of the iskind. Another and vas in sending an adv: of engineering, qui hygienic, medi- cal z perts and commissions to prepare for the American occupancy. ‘This merchant did not accept my though it was an elaborate one. That the stealings will continue until the last minute s known in advance. 1 think, nevertheless, that the amoun| re exaggerated, because so few gecse are now coming to market to hay feathers plucked. What stealing exists is mostly of an indefinite kind, because the buzzards are roosting in the chicken coops. Everybody 1s going to be careful about nocturnal expe- ditions to hen roosts, because no fowls ma be found there. Some wholesale robber have been attempted in the name of the government.

The same thing is true of other * sions," be Official Corruption. of the Spanish con- ility that no one It is ch ception racteri f public r tie believes in official integrity. A Spanish military officer was telling me some of the incidents of the last twelve months. He hates the Cubans, thougi he sought to car- ry out the plans of Madrid when it was proposed to give them a shar» in the gov- ernment of their own island through auton- on Said this officer: uy Ame ns talk about the corrup- tion of the Spantards. I admit our system has been a bad one, but you'll find that your beloved Cubans, through their autono- mist cabinet, have stolen mor= in twelve months than Spanish officials have stolen in twelve yea The officer's statement was not correct for one reason, because there has not be>n that much to steal. And his attempt to saddle the Cubans, as a people, with the re- responsibility for the autonomist cabinet is malicious. It was never a Cuban cabin>t. The people of the island never accepted autonomy, and they never recognized the autonomist cabinet. They repudiated it. What-ver its acts have been, they have been under the direction of the captain gen- eral. Spanish misrule and corruption in the garments of a colonial cabinet have not been disguised. The scandals that are com- ing are the scandals which mark th> last days of Spanish sovet nty. I do not mean from this that no Cubans have bene- fited under the twelve months of the sup- posed autonomist regime. The autonomist cabinet members found places for all their, relatives. The departing Spanish officials, civil and military, do not understand why such a fuss should be made about the scandals of the past. Some of them are cynical over the destruction of so many archives and records. They would leave these, with other things, to the Americans. Officially, it is said that no archives have been de- stroyed. That is an official lie. Archives have been carried away. The Americans will come into possession of many records of government rascality, yet the series will be a broken one. For instance, the docu- ments that “disappeared” from the archives of the Havana ayuntamiento, or city coun- cil, have not been restored. A pretended effort was made to stop the theft. The Spanish officers think it all a good joke. Characteristics in a Play. The other evening at the Albisu Theater a Spanish play was on the boards. It reflected the national characteristics. The leading actor was a comedian of great pop- ularity. He told the story in verse of a Spaniard who went to Paris to consult eminent doctors over a mysterious malady. SENATOR HOAR: “I PROTEST: the and discovered interior mechanism was choked with purses of gold and jewels. The Paris doctors knew that jugglers, sword swallow- ers and fire eaters did not swallow gold and jewels. They asked their patient when the first symptom of his discase had appeared. “Two years ago,” was his reply. And what is your profession?” “Formerly I w a notary. Two years ago I had the good fortune to become a member of the Ayun- tamiento.” The theater that night was filled with Spanish officers. Many of them were going to take the ships for Spain at a later hour. ‘They enjoyed the play, which con- tained many similar hits at army officials as well as at civilians, uproarfously. An audience in an American city would proba- bly enjoy such a “take off” on an alderman, especially if it happened to be at a time when franchises for street railroads and electric light companies were in demand. But if the were broadened so that it included everybody filling public positions its humor would be flat, for the simple reason that everybody connected with the administration of affairs is not presumed t6 be stealing. This Is the difference be- They applied that his ception. It Cuba at the present period. The same play had for one of its charac- ters the village schoolmaster. He came on the stage to “complain of the part the au. thor had cast for him. It was that of a rotund, well-dressed, well-fed person. The schoolmaster on the stage was thin and threadbare.

The schoolmasters in Cuba have never been numerous enough to make their back pay in a lump a large sum, If the United States were going to assume these obliga- tions, a single day's receipts of the custom house would make the schoolmasters happy. What is due them is hardly an item ‘n the sum total of wages overdue civil employes in other branches of the government. The majority of them have claims for five months of last year and for the eleven months of the present year. Occasionally they have received @ trifle on account. Some of them have been able to realize s thing by selling the I. 0. U.'s or due bills of the government to the speculators, who at times are possessed with the delusion that the American military authorities will make provision for paying these bills. Their advances are smail, as the risk {s all on their side. Commonly, they are willing to buy the certificates of indebtedness at little more than the value of waste paper. The civil employes have lived by what they could exact in the way of fees and petty extortions from whomever had business with them. The Debts in Cuba. e inheritance of debts which the United States might assume if {t cared to do so 1s a rich one. Some time ago Captain General Blanco thought that if he had at his dis- posal $100,000,000 he might pay the troops and settle other bills of Spain in Cuba. In- stead of getting $10,000,000 he is credited with receiving less than $3,0°),000, The ilroads and other ent-rprises which are ‘ontrolled by European capital will have to await the settlement of their bills until Spain ts in a condition to receive urgent representations from their respectiv2 gov- ernments. Meanwhile they are secking to compensate themselves for what Spain fall- ed to pay for tha transportation of its troops by charging the United States three or four times what should be paid for transporting American troors. Most of the municipalities are bankrupt, yet the creditors are thankful that under international usage Spain was not charged with th> responsibility for these debts. ‘They would rather take their chances either under annexation or under an independent government. Ultimately the municipalities may be able to pay these debts, though contracted under the Spanish system and by the Spanish officials, who stol2 most of the proceeds.
