SANTIAG0'S CUSTOM HOUSE.
COLLECTOR DONALDSON Is
SUES HIS REPORT.
Between July 18th and September
LIST Receipts Were $1O7,7S3,
and Expenses $13,1O1.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. ply
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 transactions
Of the custom house at Santiago dur
ing the period between July 18th and
September 1st. The report, which was
unanimously with the work of gradu-
ally recognizing this department of
the capitulated territory.
The sum of S107, 1873 was collected
during the period from various sources,
and payments were made of S13, 1Ol
for sanitary and similar purposes, city
police and municipal salaries, salaries
of custom house officials and miscel-
laneous expenses.
After reviewing the various sources
of revenue, Mr. Donaldson estimates
the annual income of the province of
Santiago at $2,150,000 He makes a
strong plea for the assignment of a
revenue cutter for continuous employ
in these waters.
The question of a stable currency
for Cuba is dealt with. Duties at
present are paid in gold coin of the
United States, rendering necessary
daily estimates and computations of
comparative values, there being no alb
solute standard of circulating me-
dunn, and confusion has arisen, par
ticularly in the matter of interchange
able value of silver coins of the two
countries. Attempts have been made
by local financierS to secure a conven-
tional agreement, that Spanish silver
coin be exchanged for American coin
on a basis of to 1; but as the inter-
changeable value and exchange value
of the respective coins do not CORE
spond, the attempts have not resulted
in even temporary benefit. AS a pre-
liminary step to disposing of the mat
ter it will recommend that, as soon
as practicable, authoritative instruc-
tons be issued that duties be collected
entirely in American gold.
The revenue collected has been found
sufficient to cover all administrative
expenses of Santiago thus far author
lied Other resources disclosed in the
archives of the office are available for
the increased, unexpected, extraor-
binary expenses These resources are
estimated at S165,O00 yearly for Santi-
ago. City, and for other towns in the
province at $751;
The report closes with manifest Of
the numerous resources of pure reve-
nue.. The sums authoritatively collect
ed and duly accounted for would more
than suffice to support in an adequate
manner all the expenses of administer
ing the province, even if the rates of
assessment were reduced, in view of
the impoverished condition of this por-
ton of the island. The lower rates of
duty specified in the schedules pre-
scribed have resulted in greater reve-
nue. receipts during the period covered
by the report than were found in the
record of the office during the CORE
spending period under the Spanish reg

tween the civil and military authori-
ties is becoming acute. The sudden and
unexpected action Of General Zurlinden,
the Military Governor OF Paris, in
prosecuting Colonel Picquart on the
charge of forgery and using forged doc
uments, assumes grave aspects, on &C
count of circumstances attending this
intervention of the military authori-
ties in civil court.
At the present moment, when the po-
litical atmosphere is surcharged with
dangerous electricity, generated by the
Dreyfus case, the General, who has
just quilted the Cabinet, in defiance of
civil authority takes, without consult
ing his successor or the Premier, an i'm
portant step. In ordinary circumstances
the Military Governor is empowered to
act independently; but, now that the
Dreyfus question has become great
national matter, every proceeding III
the affair has State Importance.
General Zurlinden's ignoring Of this
obvious fact is very significant. He
comes forward as the defender of the
army, the prosecutor of it's supposed
calumniators and the resolute oppon-
ent of a revision of the case. From
this to an appeal to the publican the
line Of an establishment of dictator
ship, there is no wide step.
The "Soliel' says that owing to yes
terday's events, the Cabinet at a for
NAL conference discussed General Eur
Iirden's action, and the "'Fronde"
even asserts that the Premier, M. Bris-
son. disavows the measures taken
against Picquart, which he says were
instituted without the knowledge of the
Cabinet.
The Radical" makes a bitter attack
on the general staff, which it charges
with aiming at the moral assassination
of Pfcuuart through a secret military
trial.
Henri Rochefort, in his paper, the
| .Intransigeant," declares that Picquart
was bribed by a syndicate or by Ger
many to save Dreyfus
Jauros, the Socialist Deputy, in the
petite Republique,' maintains that
the general staff of the French army
cannot now escape the full nght OF
revision of the Dreyfus case.
Picuuart was transferred this after
noon to the military prison of Cherche
Midi
The "Matin" affirms that it has au>
thentic information that the name OF
Dreyfus was never once mentioned in
the mass of documents brought against
him. 1t adds that the only serious doc
ument is the so-called bordereau. The
documents in the case, it appears, con-
sist entirely of fragments of letters re-
ferring to everything except Dreyfus,
and the whole matter, the 'Matin"
adds constitutes such fairy tale that
no sober minded person would dream
of accepting it,

YELLOW FEVER.
Reports From Tampico, Mexico,
Very Much Exaggerated.

FORT WORTH, Sept 22-Dr. Anon
Harkell of San Luis Potosi Mexico,
passed through here to-day en- route
East. He says reports of yellow fever
in Tampico have been very much ex-
aggerated by refugees from that city.
The health authorities have just con-
cluded a searching investigation at
Tampico, and found that while there
have been a few deaths from yellow
fever, there are no grounds for alarm.
The malady is very mild, and is princi-
pally confined to lower classes, who
pay but little attention to personal
cleanliness. He stated that tourists
from the United States need have no
fear in visiting Mexico, as the yellow
fever to be found in that country is
confined to the coast towns and far re-
moved from the principal inland cities.
MERIDA (Mexico), Sept. 22.-There
have been no more deaths from yellow
fever. There have been many cass of
fever in the interior towns, but mainly
of an intermittent character, which at
first deceived the experienced doctors.
JACKSON (Miss), Sept. 22.-The
Board of Health officials announced
this morning that one case of yellow
fever had appeared in the detention
camp The patient is a white woman,
Clara Rees, who lived just across the
street from the building where the man
Kilgore died. She has been isolated
and under close surveillance for forty
eight hours, and the case is diagnosed
as a very mild one. The detention
camp now contains thirty people who
have been exposed, and is surrounded
by six guards The Gordon was doubled
Immediately after the announcement of
the case, and there is little danger of

CAPTAIN GENERAL AUGUSTA.
Thinks He Has Done His DUTY as a
Soldier and a Spaniard.

MADRID, Sept. 22.-General August.
the former Captain General of the Phil
ippine Islands, who has just arrived at
Vittoria, Spain, from Manila, in an in
terview is quoted as discussing the
Philippine questionAin an interesting
manner. He is alleged to have said:
Before I left Spain 1 knew the situa-
ton in the Philippines was grave. Senior
Moret remarked to me that if war with
the United States broke out there would
be a terrible state of things"
Continuing, General August describ-
ed Admiral Montejos fleet as some "old
wooden ships and said they "came to
Mania practically pursued by Dewey. y
He then said: Our batteries fired at
the Americans. but our guns were
mounted on false plates, and after the
first shots they became useless. At
daybreak we We're in the power of the
Americans, and an hour afterward the
Spanish fleet had ceased to exist
Dewey summoned me to surrender

town. l replied: Raze it. but so lone

Then began the terrible time of the

meantime hostilities We're conducted

But considering my presence not
necessary, I asked the Government for
permission to go home, as nv position

and a Spaniard.'
The ministerial newspapers protest
against the supposition that the United
States will keep the Philippine Islands.
They maintain that SPANS right to
these islands are incontestible: that she
is resolved to defend her rights with
the greatest energy
The Government papers also contend
that the demands of the peace protocol
confirm SPANS right to the island of
Luzon and the rest of the Philippine
Islands, and they declare that if the
United States bases it's claim on hu-
manity and civilization Spain will prove

IMPORTANT RULING.
Relating to Issuance of Certificates
to Chinese of Privileged Glasses.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22-The Sec
rotary of the Treasury to-day MADE an
important ruling, in which he holds
that Chinese Consuls in foreign coun-
tries are not authorized TO issue certlh-
Gates to privileged classes of Chinese
entering this country.
In q circular sent to the customs off1-
Gals attention is called to an opinion
of the Acting Attorney General, IN
which it is held that there is no au-
thority in existing laws under which
Consular officers of China in foreign
countries may issue to Chinese sub
jects of exempt classes the certificates
prescribed by Section 8 of the Act APP
proved July ;, 1894, relating to the
exclusion of Chinese. Customs officers
are instructed as follows:
.sIhe practice which heretofore OBJ
tanned of accepting such Consular GER
tificates will be discontinued, and Chin
csc subjects of the permitted classes
coming into the United States from
China must produce certificates from
the Government of China, ana those
coming from other foreign countries
in which they are residents must pro-
duce. under the treaty of 1894, the GER
tificates of the Government or sucn
countries. and not the certificates of
Consular, customs or other subor-
dinate officers of China. All rulings
heretofore made in conflict with the
foregoing are hereby revoked"
The effect of this ruling will be to
prohibit the entry into this country OF
the privileged classes, except upon pre-
sentation of certificates issued by the
Imperial Chinese Government. In view
of the fact that the Government has
never issued certificates of this char
acter, it is believed that comparatively
few Chinese, even of the exempt
classes, will apply hereafter for ad-
