sANTIAG0'S REVENUES. =
Collector Donaldson Estimates thS
Annual Income ut $2,1BO,OOO.


Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 23.-By the
courtesy Of General Lawton this cor
respondent was afforded an oppor-
tunity to peruse the report Issued by
Customs Collector Donaldson, covering
the transaction Of the custom house at
Santiago during the period between
JULY 16 and Sept l.
Summarized the report states that
35 steamers, with an aggregate tonnage
of $3.50. entered the port during the
period named, and that 27 steamers
and 1S sailing vessels cleared. The dis
crepancy between the number Of en-
tries and clearances Is accounted for
by the fact that many government
transports did not report for clearance
at the custom house. The sum of $l07,.
1888 was collected from various souf ces,
and payments were made of $13, ,1O1 for
sanitary and similar purposes. city po-
lice and municipal salaries, salaries Of
custom house officials and miscel-
laneous expenses
After reviewing the various sources
Of revenue Collector Donaldson esti-
mates that the annual income of the
province of Santiago at $2,15O.0 He
makes a strong plea for the assignment
OF revenue cutter for continuous en-
ployment In these waters In the pro-
lection of the revenue, the assistance
of vessels in distress, the enforcement
OF quarantine laws and the projection
of wrecked property.
The revenue collected has been found
sufficient to cover all the administrative
expenses of SantiagO thus far an,
thorized. Other resources disclosed In
the archives. of the office are available
for the increased unexpected extra
ordinary expenses. These resources are
estimated at s165,O0O yearly for San
tiago city, and for other towns in the
province at S1S,156,
