IMPRESSIVE CEREM3HIES
No Yellow Fever or Typhoid in the
Province of Puerto Principe-
Dangerous Plants.
By Associated Press.
New JFork. Dec. 27 —A correspondent at
Neuvitas, Cuba, writing to the New York
Times says:
The last of the Spanish forces in this,
•the province .of Puerto Principe .have left
and the Fifteenth United States infantry
has arrived. Our flag has been raised with
much ceremony by two daughters of the
Alcalde, a Cuban formerly of the tuton
omtet government who was appointed by
General Caipenter, governor of the prov- I
Ince.
Yellow' fever and typhoid are said not to
exist here, though severe malaria prevails.
• The soldiers are provided with large hos
pital tents ami cots. The tents are being
floored. The extremely dense, impenetra
ble undergrowth on the hill where the
ramp is situated was cut down by ex
f’uban soldiers with their machetes, the
great qualities of Guao, a poisonous plant
closely resembling in appearance the holly,
rendering it dangerous for our men to do
the work. The Cubans, however, are fear
less, although showing the effects in ter
rible sores on hands and legs.
A plant usually found growing near the
Guao is claimed to be an antidote for this j
•poison. Several of the men have been bit- j
ten by scorpions, but the Insects here do I
not seem to be as dangerous as elsewhere. 1
A few drops of ammunition applied to the |
stings remove further trouble.
This province is especially valuable -as
pasturage land for cattle. Most of the ani
mals were killed oh' during the war.
There are many large sugar plantations
•sadly injured by hostilities. The owners
however, are now rebuilding and planting
the rich soil. With American money, farm I
implements and industry it will very soon <
show the richest sort of country. Lands I <
are cheap, $35 being the price for thirty- i
three acre lots but experience is necessary 1
to cultivate them and the ways of the •
country must be learned.
The town of Nuevitas is old and quaint <
and dirty, the Spanish garrison giving no :
attention to sanitation or. indeed, any
cleaning of the streets or barracks. This
will be attended to hereafter by the army
officers m co-operation with the alcade.
SI,OOO in gold from customs receipts hav- I
ing been allotted by General Carpenter i
lor the needed work. As the American !
dollar is worth thirty-five to forty-five per |
cent premium on Spanish silver and labor
is obtainable at $1 per day in the latter
< urrenoy much may be accomplished when
there is no waste allowed. Living expenses
are high. Eggs cost five to ten cents each;
meat, principally goat, thirty cents per
pound; kerosene oil $2 a gallon, rum twen- ,
ty-five cents a quart. Oranges and limes
are cheap and bananas very cheap, but
dangerous to our people. 1
The only style of carriage in town is the 1
ox cart and a bicycle could not be ridden j
ten feet. j
There is very much suffering among the ■ j
people, of the province from want of food, i
M e are completely cut off from commu
nication with the United States. There is (
no regular mail and the soldiers have re- ’
ceived no letters since leaving Savannah,
December 7. There is no telegraph except
to Puerto Principe, forty-five miles dis- '
tant. . ,

arrival of the battleships Oregon and lowa ■
at that port has caused the greatest ex
citement and enthusiasm. They entered
the harbor at ' o'clock in the morning
and great crowds went to see them. Dele- ;

of Peru, went to Callao to meet the war
ships. They presented, to each a gold plate.
With the' name changed each bore the in- i

“All honor to the commander, the of- ,

OUR GREAT PROSPERITY.
Despite the War, This Year Breaks All
Records.
The condition of the trade in the United
Stattv fcr the year that is closing is with
out a parallel in t£e history of the country.
A.t the close of 1892 business men looked
back upon a year whose prosperity had
been greater than the country had ever
known, but it is now declared that 1898
surpasses 1892 as greatly as the latter <qir
passed its predecessors. Referring to this,
Huh's review for December hats the fol
lowing:
“It is a year beyond parallel and goes
■to its close with the biggest volume of
business ever seen. Enormous trausac;
tion« at the Stock Exchange make some
difference and heavy railroad earnings, b’lt
when all the transporting and speculative
interests are eliminated there is still a
much larger business than in any other
month of any year. Last year the exports
were in volume greater than in any pre
vious month in the history of the country,
but thin year the three weeks’ report
shows an im-rcase of 25 per cent against 9
per cent in imports, which would indicate
much more* Than $78,000,000 excess of ex
ports this month. The payments through
clearing houses, -have been for the week
26.5 per cent greater than last year and
12.4 per cent greater than in 1892 and for
the month 17.8 per cent larger than in
1892.”
Bradstret-' says: ‘‘Probably never before
at this date wa- the course of general bus
iness so animated as it is at present. Spec
ulative activity i no longer confined to rhe
stock market, but it had widened 'to in
' elude wheat and corn among the cereals
and copper among the metals, while the
rush of business in iron and steel seems
liittle, if any. abated, and seme lies, notably
cotton goods,and raw wool, are displaying
an activity and strength which would have
been welcomed at any time for a year
past. Trices of sccuritiese and of staples
alike furnish examples of aggressive
trength.”
'So far as stocks are concerned, it is
stated thait the average of railway stocks
has risen from $65.51 a share 'to $66.10.
while the average of trusts has risen from
s7l to $72.70. In many lines the country’s
production of manufactured products has
been heavily sold ahead and there appears
every reason to believe that present val
ue«e will be maintained or increased.
Bradstreet’s says that the bark clearings
for the week aggregate $1,673,000,000. a
gain of 25 per cent over this week a year
ago. cf 53 per cent over 1896. of 45 per
cent over 1895. very nearly twice as large
as 1894 and 1893 and 10 per cent larger
t han in this week of 1892, which up to .this
year was the heaviest week on record.
Dun's review makes ibis observation in
closing its review for December and for
the year: “How Europe will be able to
pay more ti an $75,000,000 due on merchan
dise account for rhe month of December
and previous months, is a question which
rhe country can afford 'to consider at its
leisure apd with comfort.”

Does Not Wish to Come Home
Himself— Philippine Conditions

By Associated Press. *
, New York, Dtc. 27. —A special to the
Tribune ‘from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey cabled to the navy de-
I prartment asking when 'he might expect the
i Buffalo ito arrive at .Manila and requ sting
‘ that ehe might be hurried as much as
' possible. The BuiTilo is carrying 500 men
1 to the Asiatic Squadron to take t'he places
of these whose terms of ntrvice have ex
pired and who are now exceedingly anx
ious 'to return to the United States. .Many
! of these men would ordinarily have come
■ borne on the flagship Olympia, which was
< on the point of starting for San Francisco
when the 'Maine was blown up. but were
retained by Admiral Dewey on a cable
warning from Acting Secretary 'Roosevelt.
The admiral has now informed the navy
department that 'the conditions in t'he
Philippines have so materially improved
I that he will send a few officers and men
j to San (FranciJsco on the next 'transport
! which leaves IManila. He is not yet will
ing, however, to recommend any reduction
j of tt'he fleet, and notwithstanding the re-
I ports to the contrary, he has never intima
ted any desire to come home himself, but
has, in fact, refused to take advantage of
the permission extended to him of tempo
rarily leaving the ea«t and visiting Paris
when the peace commission was there.
