DIRT PILING UP IN HAVANA AS CONTRACT PAYMENTS LAG
Havana, Oct 19 Col Waring of the United States military commission will send a long report to Washington detailing the dirty condition of the city. Street cleaning has stalled and filth accumulates as contractors claim unpaid dues totaling about 40000 dollars, hindering curbs and wages. The Spanish ordnance sale prompted US commissioners to inspect mortars and guns, which were deemed obsolete old metal. Captains Isgow and Brooks recorded the items and reported to evacuation officials, who noted the sale served no military use. The search for exact counts continues to gauge potential effects from any cast vale actions.
