CURRENCY AT SANTIAGO

u Al San
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 11-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press -The
past week in Santiago de Cuba has seen
the furtherance of reforms and improve
ments already under way. New compli-
cations have arisen which we are called
upon to settle. There has been a slow
and steady increase in the death rate.
The questions Of Spanish and American
money and their respective values con-
tinues to agitate the town and this will
probably last until little of the Spanish
money remains. Notwithstanding Gen.
eral Woods announcement that Spanish
gold would be deprived of its Cuban in
crease of per cent on its face value and
that silver was at 80 per cent discount,
many have persisted in considering the
centene Us frances as, worth $500 as for
merly; and at no money changers could
one get ten dollars in silver for five dol
lars in gold. Nine dollars in silver was
offered and this only in small amounts.
There has been a meeting of merchants
in this place, with the object of discuss
ing this matter of values with General
Wood; and the question of it's legality
measure applied to all transactions being
asked for. The question of legality, how
ever was not discussed. as the merchants
were assured that the ruling applied to
all transactions, SO that the meeting was
rather abruptly terminated. 1t is being
recognized that American money will be
the money of the future in Cuba. Work
men are publicly advised TO insist upon
their wages being paid in United States
currency. But until the financial situa-
ton is cleared up by the disappearance
Of Spanish coin and the entrance OF a
sufficient quantity of American coin, bust
ness will probably continue as at present.
One cannot exchange gold for Spanish
silver; and there is so little American
silver that small sales are almost i'm
possible.
One abuse that has been rectifed was
the exorbitant prices asked for food-a
dollar per pound for meat. three dollars
for a bag of charcoal that once sold for
50 cents and a general continuation of
blockade prices long after their justif-
cation had been removed. This matter
the palace has ably taken IN hand; and
after careful consideration and a discus
sion of the subject with leding whole
salers and retailers. q tariff in gold
money on provisions has been arranged.
Retailers have been notified that infringe
ments of this tarin or chhedule, viii be
severely punished; and the community
at large is requested to report any over
charge The prices given out are a great
reduction from those prevailing hitherto,
but even in the new arrangement there is
ample opportunity for good profits, even
10 50 per cent in some instances. Thus
the retailer has no right to complain.
At some future day when the commercial
situation OF Santiago is Improved, a fur
Their reduction viii probably be made.
This measure Of General Wood is nat
urally very popular. and except from
those who are reverted from longer in
dulging in their 1ameful robbery Of the
people. there is 2 complaint
Wholesalers are pleased because the
new prices Will promote wholesale con-
sumption.

Senator Cannon of Utah saw the presi-

military plans. The president told him
of his purpose to disband portion OF the
volunteer army, and he explained that
the troops to be mustered out would be

MEETING OF THE CABINET

Washington, D. c., Aug. I9.-The vabi-
net session today was brief The dis
bandment Of the army, and the naval
review at New York were the main points
Of discussion. AS to the former. Secretary
Alger stated that the details were being
worked out and considerable difficulty was
being experienced in selecting the regi-
ments to be put on the mustering-Out
list. But the list would pe in shape for
issuance in a few days.
Contrary to expectations, the selection
of the personnel of the peace commission
to meet in Paris was not taken up. II had
been expected there would be a Discus
sion of the names proposed for the COM
mission but the matter was not formally
preached. There were no dispatches from
the front laid before the cabinet.
Acting Secretary of State Moore had
been over just before the meeting to con-
fer with the president on state depart
ment matterms, though none of them. it
was said, wre of general significance.
There were no important state matters
discussed by the cabinet.

The Enormous Gold Product of 1905

This will be the greatest gold year in
history. From South Africa the Klon-
dixie and Australia the precious metal is
being shipped IN large quantities. 1t is
believed that this years output will be
nearly double that OF any previous twelve
months. The sales of Hosteters Stomach
Bitters are also increasing very fast and
this year that famous remedy will cure
more people of dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation, nervousness and weakness
than ever before.
