SANTIAGO REVENUES.
Customs Collector DonaIdsOn's Report
The Currency Question.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Sept. 22-By the
courtesy of General Lawton the Associated
Press correspondent was to-day afforded an
opportunity to peruse the report issued by
Customs Collector Donaldson covering the
transaction of the customs house at Santia-
go during the period between July 16 and
Sept. !.
Summarized the report states that thirty
five steamers with an aggregate tonnage Of
$3.50, and twenty-three sailing vessels of an
aggregate tonnage OF 1889, entered the port
during the period named and that twenty
seven steamers and eighteen sailing vessels
cleared. The discrepancy between the num-
Der of entries and clearances is accounted
for by the fact that many government
transports did not report for clearance at
the custom house. The sum of $1O7 1888 was
collected from various sources and payments
were made of $l3,l0l for sanitary and similar
purposes, city police and municipal salaries
salaries OF custom house officials and mis-
cellaneous expenses. After reviewing the
various sources of revenue Collector Donald
son estimates the annual income of the
province OF Santiago at $2150G00. He makes
a strong plea for the assignment of a rev.
enue cutter for continuous employment In

THOUGHT HER MRS. LUETGERT.
Two Mems lima gination start This Ex-
element.

Great excitement was created in police
circles and on the 'levee' last night by the
report that the wife of Luetgert, the Chi
cago sausage maker, of murder fame, had
been located in this city. The rumor was
entirely unfounded.
About 10 o'clock woman with a. bandage
about her head and suffering from a ner-
vous headache entered Louis Bengers
saloon at the corner of Washington street
and Kentucky avenue and explained that
she was out of money and asked to be al
lowed to stay there all night. She was
told to go up stairs where she took pos
session of a chair, determined to sit there
for the night. But during the short time
she was in the saloon, one of the men about
the place became impressed with the idea
that she resembled the newspaper cuts he
had seen of the wife of the Chicago man
who is now serving life sentence for her
murder. He told a friend and the later
took peep and his imagination served him
well. 1t was Mrs. Luetgart, in his eyes.
They thought then that they had a great
sensation and Sergeant COrrigan was called.
He saw no occasion for the excitement,
and the matter was dropped for a while.
When locking UP time came at the saloon,
an attempt was made to get the woman out,
but she refused to go and Bicycle Patrol,
and argued with her. They finally brought
her to the station, but the suspicion still
lurked that she might possibly be the Chi
cago woman. Before she was locked up,
charged with vagrancy, she was taken into
the superintendent room and questioned.
and that her husband, with whom she had
not lived for six years, was in Paris. She
halls from Kentucky, according to her
story, and has a distinct Southern accent,
completely exploding the theory that she
was Mrs. Luetgert, who was a German
and spoke broken English. She is the
streets about three weeks ago and taken
in charge. She is not considered right
