TWO METHODS COMPARED.
Significant Figures as to Receipts Of the
Customs Duties at Santiago During
October.

Washington, Nov. IA dispatch
from Santiago states that 500. 600 was
collected in customs duties during
the month Of October. This does not
appear to be a large item in itself,
but as it is at the rate of 81, 200, 600
at that port it is believed that the
restoration of order and the develop
ment Of trade viii increase the amount
to 81, 500, 900 per year. The significant
fact in connection with the matter is
the relation which this amount bears
to the collections by Spanish officials.
The amount they turned into the Span
ish treasury at Havana was S475, 900
per annum. The methods of American
officials, therefore, viii produce many
times the net return to the treasury
which was afforded under Spanish mis-

TEN EYcK INTERVIEWED.
He Objects TO Statement Which Says
He is Going to the University of
Pennsylvania.

In the feature section of the New
York Journal of Sunday page was de-
voted to Edward H. Ten Eyck, the
space: being filled with three large pict-
ures of the young sculler and an article
headed, Glow Ten Eyck would train an
eiSht-oar college crew to bSat the
world" In the article the young sculler
advances practically the same views en-
tertained by his father, to the effect
that oarsmen should first learn to scull.
A small para graph at the end of the art
icle gives offenSa to Ten Eyck. 1t is as
follows: AS Ten Eyck has already APP
piled for admission to the University of
Pennsylvania, there is strong likelihood
that when he enters there will be quite
a change in the rowing standard of that
institution. 1t is probable that he will
be called upon to take charge of the
training, but on this point the young
oarsn1an declines to express himself"
A Spy man found young Ten Eyck,
Sunday afternoon, with a copy of the
paper in his hand, and very hot under
the collar. He said that the article was
all right until the last paragraph was
reached, and then the writer took IN
warranted liberties. He declared en-
phatically that the last paragraph was
unfounded, and reiterated his statement
that he has no intention of entering the
University of Pennsylvania, not for
some time, at least, and ne certainly
should not take charge Of the U. P.
crew

STRICKEN CUBA.
Starvation, Fevers and Small
Pox Multiply Suffering.
Gen. Pando Said to Be Disheartened-
Others Who Are Confronted by the
Situation Becoming Hopeless.

Havana, via Key West, Jan. 2.-The
insurgent general, Francisco Garlic,
with 1000 men, has entered Matanzas
province, near Hanabana, and is sup
posed to be on the way to reunite with
the concentrated insurgent forces under
Brig. Gems. Suarez and Cepero, in Ha-
vana province.
Before the disarming of the laborers
on the tobacco plantation of Book &
Co, in Pinar del Rio, recently reported,
so armed laborers are said to have
Joined the insurgents at Ceiba del Aqua,
Havana. Three thousand concentrates
have been returned to their homes in
Matanzas province, railroad transport
alton being provided by the govern
ment.
The Dlario de la Marina calls the at
tention of the authorities to the pitiable
condition of the people of the town of
Alonzo Rojas, in Pinar del Rio prov
ince. During the first ten days of De-
cember, one hundred persons died.
Whole families of eight and ten persons
have persisted. OF ninety-two volun-
teers, only nineteen are fit for duty, the
remainder being sick with small pOX.
At Santo Domingo, Santa Clara prov
ince, the small poX epidemic has in
creased terribly, in spite Of the splendid
weather, but the fevers have slowly de-
creased. In the districts of Jicota, Me-
nacas and the stricken districts, they
are unable to emigrate because they
have no resources, In these districts,
small poX is raging among the concen-
tradOs, many Of whom have died They
are without medical attendance, food
and other necessaries of life. The gov
ernment has for a second time sent $10,-
900 for the relief Of the concentrates in
MatanZas province.
1t is reported from Santiago de Cuba
that Gen. Pando is greatly disheartened
on account Of the obstacles which pre-
vented a successful campaign against
the insurgents in that province. He
declares that he has no base of opera
lions, the insurgents control being so
complete that it is impossible to convey
supplies to Spanish columns operating
in the interior of the province. He is
said to be convinced that the insurgents
of Santiago de Cuba province will not
accept autonomy. When he was in
Spain, he did not realize that the in
surgents had such strength. 1t is
said that Gen. Sadua, operating in San
tiago de Cuba, has been unable to agree
with his superior officers, and on that
preteXt he is sick, has arrived in
Havana and will return to Spain by the
first mail steamer.
Ex-Minister Canalejas, the Madrid
editor who has been investigating the
situation in Cuba, is said to be thor
oughly discouraged with the outlook He
will return to Spain shortly, the sud-
den death of his sister being given as
the reason for Fastening his departure.
Senior Amblard who has just returned
from the United States, is said to take
the same hopeless view of the situation,
and it is stated that he will decline the
proifered appointment of secretary TO
the Cuban autonomist cabinet. Senior
Capules, governor of Santiago de Cuba,
has resigned, being unwilling to make
appointments dictated to him by the
governor through Gen. Pando.
