A NEW ERA IN SANTIAGO
The Streets Are No Longer Used
as Sewers.
PERSUASION OF THE LASH
violators OF Sanitary Laws Are Publicly
H~orsewhipped and Compelled TO
Work on the Streets
for 80 Days.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Robert p. Por-
ter. special commissioner for the Unit
ed States to Cuba and Porto Rico. has
returned from Santiago and has sub
mitted his report to the secretary of the
treasury. While in Porto Rico Mr.. Por-
ter held public hearings and all persons
interested in the welfare OF the island
were invited to submit statements Inc
give oral testimony. The chamber of
commerce. representing the commercial
and Industrial interests OF the province,
responded.
The machinery of the military gov
eminent, Mr.. Porter says, Is running
with a fair degree of smoothness and
the men responsible for IL understand
their business thoroughly. In Santiago
the streets are no longer used as sew
ers and the unhappy individual who
violates the law and escapes the laeh of
the sanitary commissioner whip, Is
compelled to work on the streets for
30. days. This official. Major Barbour,
with 126 men dressed in spotless white.
80 good United States mule teams and
carts, having taken from the streets OF
Santiago the filth OF ages. is now able
to keep them absolutely clean. Every
day, by the aid of petroleum. the garb-
age of the city is burned. The work &C
sanitation Is not confined to the streets.
but extends to the dwelling houses,
ships and buildings of all Kinds. To
accomplish this. however. the doors of
houses had to be smashed in and people
making sewers of the thoroughfares
were publicly horse-whipped in the
streets. Eminently respectable citizens
we're forcibly brought before the COM
manding general and sentenced to aid
in cleaning the streets they were in the
habit of defiling.
The campaign has ended in a complete
surrender to the sanitary authorities
and the inhabitants of Santiago. regard
less of class, have had their first OBJ
ject lesson in the new order of things
inaugurated by the war. Several i'm
portant streets a been repaved; all
the public buildings have been thor
oughly cleaned, the work even extend
ing to the opera house.
The law courts, which were abolished
when General Shafter took the city,
have been reorganized. In the same
manne local government has been re-
stored and native mayors and city OFF,
Gals appointed. the only requirement
being that persons accepting such offices
shall TAKE the oath recognizing the mil
itary occupation Of the islands by the
United States, but in no way commit
ting them to any future form of gov
eminent.
The Spaniards. when in possession Of
Cuba. not only assumed control OF the
judiciary. but of the municipal gov
eminent. The larger portion Of the
taxes raised for municipal purposes
were diverted. with the other revenues,
in channels which, says the veport.
either led to Spain or to private pock-
cts.
Mr.. Porter speaks in high praise of
the administrative ability of General
Wood, the military governor at Santa
go, as shown in his admirable manage
ment of the affairs of the province.
