HAVANA TODAY AND TWELVE MONTH'S AGO IMPROVEMENTS FROM AMER ICAN OCCUPATION. Evidences Which the Visitor Can See That the Incoming of the Yan kees Has Been in Most Respects Beneficial The One Exception Is in the Introduction of the Ameri can Bar Room. Prom n Havana Letter by Dr. (Mimics 11. Klsher.pitbllslied In the Chicago Kccord, To the touilst who was hcio last ppilnsr It Is not dinicttlt to note that, inipiovoments of the most substantial and satisfactory kind have been going on dining the summer, though per haps not lit the degtee expected or desired. Put Havana Is In Infinitely better condition than when the Amer ican soldiers entered Its gates at tho close of lVii, and fur and away im proved over the spring of 1S93. Xot only aie the tmpiovcments of a char acter to please the eye In many In stances and giutlfy the olfactories, but they ore also of a character to appeal to the consldertlon of the Incomer from the point of convenience and per sonal comfott, Hoglnnlng at the et beginning, the methods at the customs house landing arc moio satisfactory. Lat spring there was confusion woise confoundeJ, on almost every hand. L'mploycs who had been accustomed to the Spanish regime weie (if ten annoying In their oillclousness, lln,i nivays indicating their vlh to be tipped for evciy move ment made, even though legitimate In ccrv sense. Today under the dltec Hon of an Anietlcan who understands his business this is all riirfetcnt. Cour teousness ha tnken the place of of flelousneos. Promptness has super seded the ledlousness of old-tlmo method!.. The fees of the olllce ntu piomlnmtly poslcd, so that each In comer knows just what he has to pay to have his baggage bundled during examination. Last spilng tiunks were as rudely emptied on the dirty floor of the Inspection room as is too oftn the case in Xew York and some othar American ports, while this year a lea sonnbly careful and not nnnoyingly thoiough inspection ratisfles, unles3, perchance, the trained olllclal of tho olJic" Is led to believe a cittlcal exami nation Is required. KVKHYIiODY IS ItUSY. The stieets aie Just as old, Just as narrow, just ns Interesting, because of their forelgnesa, but they are a hun died fold cleaner, a thousand fold les smelly. The older and nartower streets, paved with heavy blocks of stone, are Just as lough and noisy Little improvement has taken plae ir. the w holesale district In the appear ance of the houses themselves, but that business is better is quickly ap parent. Eveiynorty seems busy. Theie ate lew loltereis and hardly anv beg gars; whereas last January thousands weie ragged, dirty, unemployed and offensive, while beggnts and nipple ! of the most repulsive character weia to bo seen on every thoroughfaie. Entering the letnl! district tlu change Is even mote pronounce 1. Many of the stoics and shops have been moie or less model nized, though the changes in this particular are not enough to destioy the foreign aspect of the city. Ft each plate glass en ables the shop-keeper to display ills goods to better advantage that for. inetiy, modern glazing having super seded many of the old and dllap'Catei! shows windows In Obispo, Compost . la and O'llellly streets. Some of the stores have been deepened by haviti.j the residence department formeily oc cupied by the employes thrown inn the main stoic, laiger stocks having been added and positive attempts hat Ing been made to keep up with the spiiit of the day. Xew ond pretty shops have crowded out some of the joints" found heie and theie last year, new awnings have taken the place of old and dilapidated ones, more of vat. ety of stock is shown, and Havana Is clearly trying again to becom. the Pails of America, as It was styled be fore the late civil war between the states, ALOXG THE PRADO. Arriving at Central P.uk and tra versing the Prado again it Is nntleea that improvement has been the or lr of the day. The park Is cleaner and better kept, Where occupied last spring by Uncle Sam's troops the Prado has been tilled Into tho depth of several Inches with gravel and treat ed to a heavy tolling with a steam roller; seveial of the business build ings have had another stoiy aldei, or this woik Is now going on; the Ingli tetia hotel has been enlarged by the addition of a thiee-stotv bulld'iig to the north, the upper floors of which aie to be used by this hostelry, and the whole couise of the Prado has hiJ the same treatment that has been ac corded It In trout of the Hotel Pasale, where our Hoops formerly bivouacked. An especially delightful Improvement Is thellghtlngot theesplanadeof thcifiado by aie lights, a low of tall white poles having been planted In the center from La Punta to the south end of tho couise, beyond the Pasajo, This work has been well done, and as tho nlghtlv promenade of tho Prado Is a striking feature of Havana fife, tho blighter light of the ute lights, elevated beyond the distance of annoyance to vision, makes the evening scenes of the espla nade especially atti active. Many changes have occuned on the Prado dining the summer, some for the better, some, unfortunately, for tho woise. To the south, beyond the paik, the business dlstiiet has been some what bettered by a higher class of shops having crowded out many of thn dcns fonnei ly located thereon, Xcw American shops have taken the place of some of the dingy ones of the Span ish regime, and model n American bais have found their way Into some of tlie buildings In that section, A decided Impiotement In the character of the shops Is also noticeable In the Pasaj arcade, though here theie Is yet room for betteiinent. OXE ULEMISH. Down the Prado to the north, whero the promenading Is done, there Is also a considerable change. The American bar has, unfortunately, encroached upon this lesidence district. There are a number of cafes not here last spilng. Thero has been some build ing in this section also, several new two.story houses having been erected during the summer, with otheis now in the process of constiuction. Paint and calcimine have been liberally used, many a residence formerly dingy and weatherbeaten showing now as h mod em and attractive home. Tho well known Sport club, half way down the street, n Cuban organisation too much given perhaps to gaming for tlie con dition of tho people, has failed. Its building Is nhortly to he occupied by tho Spanish club, an oigaiibatlou ot good character nnd morals, whoso so cial features arc among tho most pleasant of the day. Many of tho streets crossing the Prndo In the northern section which weie last spring In a wretrhed state have been bo decidedly I nipt o veil as hardly to bo recognized. Colon, Troea dero, Animas, Vlrludes and some near er the sea have been substantially ma cadamized, attention having been giv en to drainage, whereby the lakes and puddle befoie making them almost Impassable In places aie altogether done away with. The Piado Itself has been made the recipient of a gloat deal of labor, but the street is so abused by heavy tralllc, which should be made, to take to tho ido stuels, as In all rltlee having boulevaids for light dtlv Ing, that It Is dlMlcult to keep It in repair. Eventually It will be paved wUh cement blocks or asphalted and iiiuda a most beautiful dilve. At pres ent It (illicitly bec'.nies dusty In drv weather and muddy In i.ilny' seusons. A SUUUCE OF UECIUET. Law-abiding Americans, who leallzc that their example Is fat -reaching among a people whom our government Is trying to teach the piinclples of good conduct and correct self-government, regiet to see the encroachment upon the better patt of Havana's tesl deuce and business district of Anietl can bar-looms. This is not necessar ily a (mention of morals or religion, but of governmental economics. A few nights ago theie was an "opening" of one of these places cm tho Prado. Passing It late at night I noticed that it was crowded with American ptos pectots and residents in a moie or less glorious state of hllaiiousncss, many ot them well beyond self-contiol, while the walks outside we ciowded with observing Cubans of the middle and lower classes, whose temaiks about th- "malo Ametlean" wete not to our cred it. A drunken Ametlean Is always a bad American, ,i half-drunken Ametl ean Is always a half-bad American. While Cuba is an American camp, might It not be well for the govern ment at least to limit the number of such places that It licenses, and thm avoid In good part the frictions nnd annoyances between our people and the natives growing out of the habits of bibulousness? While reconstructing this Island It might as well be dono right, so far as our people and their tel.it Ions to It aie concerned. Dives of various kinds have been concentrated Into and limited to vaiious districts of the city, whoio valuable tesldence and business piop ertles are not depreciated by their presence. Likewise the Piailo and other good residence sectlono should be protected by the military authorities from the encioachment of the saloon. The niatket places of Havana have been Impioted In many paitlculats, though some of them will bear fuither overhauling and sanitation. The .stieets In the wot st sections ate dally spilnkled with disinfecting fluids, and whenever yellow fever or other set ions illness shows itself In a particular district the sanitary force gets after It at once. All the sew cis for sut face water drain age are dally treated to chloride of lime, old gutteis nre flushed and like wise given attention, dingy and un wholesome walls aie sciaped and whitewashed, and garbage Is removed fiom hotels, cafes, shops and residences with a promptness to which this popu lace lias never befoie been accustomed. For the Babies. Theie is no better medicine for tho babies than Chambet Iain's Cough Hemedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cuies make it a favoiln with mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, pi eventing pneumonia or other setious consequences. It also cuies croup and has been used In tens ot thousands of cases without a single fullure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cuies croup, but when given as soon as tho croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In enses of whojp lng cough It liquefies the tough mucus, making It easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing, thus de priving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

Today's stock market showed the stimulating cfteci of yesterday's sharp advancer and In creased activity In a hugely augment ed outside demand. The commission houses had mom buying orders to ex ecute this moinlntr train for many weeks past, and their biokeis made a lively opening on the floei ot the board loom. The stent activity of the maiket and the steadiness 0f price during the flist hours made It obvious Hint speculator who had bought stocks esterday wcio feeling the new demand with a Judicious- liberality so as to realize pioilts on yesteiday's' Hsu and vet not dlstuib the new level of values. The steady and confident ab sorption of these off-Mings pioved high ly satisfactory to tlm piofessional bulls r-nd before the end of tho flist hour they commenced to hid tip prices again and to take on new lines of stock. The market was a good ib al unsettled by a sudden btenk of four points in sugu nnd the announcement of the failure of an Important stock exchange house. The closing out of the accounts ot this house under the rule ct the exchange caused a p.uwe in the speculative ac tivity, though the slian r. wete well ab sorbed and pi Ices well sustained.
