PLANS OF GENERAL WOOD.
Many Improvements Are to BE Instituted
at Santiago

at Santiago
Santiago de Cuba, Oct 5.-General
Wood purposes to inaugurate system
or municipal taxation. making the
taxes retroactive TO September list.
The funds of the customs houses can
not legally be taken for municipal i'm
provements here or in this vicinity,
though the present surplus is 500, 900.
consequently another source of reve-
nue. has to be obtained. There has
been law to tax and license every
business and everybody, but since the
occupation of Santiago by the Ameri-
can troops these taxes have not been
collected. Now, however, the minimum
rates will be exacted, which will bring
in n revenue of $15O0OO per month.
winch is badly needed for local i'm
provements. 1t is the policy of General
Wood to spend all lie can iegtimately
upon Santiago. which Is the exact op-
posite OF the system adopted by the
spnniards. Water in the dry season
costs 70 cents per barrel. General
woods plan is to bore artesian wells
and obtain plentiful supply of water.
santiago can stand the expenditure
OF lot OF money in improvements.
ana General Wood purposes huilding
bouleyards around the city, thus prnc5
ticnlly extending Its limits and making
the outskirts the most popular portion.
But there Is no idea of unduly taxing
the people. Tie general will merely
raise sufficient money to carry on the
municipal government in satisfac-
Tory manner. \ committee consisting
OF two American officers and two Gu
uans mas been appointed to consider
the best legal measures 10 be odon,od

Victoria, Il. c.. Oct. 10.-News re-
ccived from Australia by the Warri-
moo states that the Head-hunters. n
cnnnibal faction of the natives of Rem
iova, have of late been extremely ac-
tive in the prosecution Of their horrl-
BILE custom, and that n terrible atrocity
was committed by them ON the west
ern portion of the protectorate.
They captured village, and, after
slnughtering many Inhabitants. re-
turned home with thirty prisoners. The
thirty were killed and eaten at a bar
bnric feast given by the Head-hunters
in honor OF Their victory. One of the
most notorious Of the Hend-hunting
chiefs has since been captured by the
British.

NO man liyeth unto. himself"
Neither men nor women are able TO
defy their fellows. or to reject. their
friendship. or disregard the sympathieH

something with which we cannot sup

Others for thousand friendly Offices,

our dependency and also to listen to

spanlnrd. FRY to oa,u sympathy.

Paris, Oct. THE policy of the
Spanish members OF the peace com
mission seems to he to make IT n point
to treat the American commission with
almost studied friendlness. There
seems even n tendency to appeal to the
sympathy OF the Americans This note
was very clearly struck last Friday Mt
the breakfast given by the French
minister of foreign affairs when the
Spanish ambassador TO Paris remarked
with much warmth of feeling to the
group of American guests: ''Your
country is young and strong. mine is
weak and poor. but you must not for
get that Spain discovered America and
introduced there the first European
civilization"
This spirit of aInity will be strength
encd by the social gatherings which
will run parallel with the business re-
unions ut the foreign office.
