The principal points in the case turned

The Government contends that the
privilege extended only to vessels then in
port and that it did not apply to the ship
in question, which had sailed prior to that

ships and cargoes insisted that the Presi-
dents proclamation related back to
the outbreak of hostilities on April 81, and

HORsEWHIPPED
Severe Punishment for Violators of
Sanitary Regulations at
Santiago.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Robert P. Por-
ter. special commissioner for the United
States to Cuba and Porto Rico, has re-
turned from Santiago and has submit
ted 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 ana
give oral testimony. The chamDer OF
commerce. representing the commercial
and Industrial interests of the province,
responded The machinery of the mill
tary government, Mr.. Porter says IS
running with a fair degree of smooth
ness and the men responsible for 1t,
understand their business thoroughly.
In Santiago the streets are no longer
used as sewers, and the unhappy ind1-
vidual who violates the law and escapes
the lash of the sanitary commissioner
whip is compelled to work on the streets
for 80 days. This Official Mayor Bar
bour, with 126 men dressed in spOtless
white and 90 good United States mule
teams and carts having dug out from
the streets of Santiago the filth or ages,
is now able to keep them absolutely
clean. Every day, by the aid OF petrol
cum the garbage of the city is burned.
The work of sanitation is not confined
to streets but extends to the dwelling
houses, ships, buildings of ali kinds. To
accomplish this, however, the doors OF
houses had to be smashed in and peO-
pie making sewers of the thorough
fares were publicly hOrsewhipped in the
streets. Fninently respectable citizens
were fOrcibly brought before the COM
mission and in general sentenced to aid
in cleaning the streets they were in the
habit of defiling. The campaign has re-
suited in a. complete surrender to the
sanitary authorities, and the inhabi-
tants of Santiago, regardless of class,
have had their first object lesson in the
new order of things inaugurated by the
war. Several important streets have

been repaved; all the public buildings
have been thoroughly cleaned, the work
even extending to the opera house.
The law courts which were abolished
when Gen Shafter took the city, have
been reOrganized. In the same manner
local government has been restored and
native mayors and city officials APP
pointed the only requirement being that
persons accepting such offices shall take
the oath of recognizing the military oc-
cupation of the island of the United
States but in no way committing them
to any future form of government.
The The Spanish when IN poSsession t OF

diverted, with the other revenues, into
channels which says the report, rather
Mr. Porter advises that these taxes
hereafter must be used exclusively for local
practicable, that they be collected and dis
bursed by properly constituted local au-
thOritieS. The rural districts of Santiago
have been so depleted that 1t viii be i'm
possible to collect taxes over and above
schools for the poor and probably small
sums to improve sanitary conditions. The
dawn of prosperity. however, should be
the signal for inaugurating systematic
work on country roads.
The money expended on roads, whether
from the general funds of the island or
from the local budgets, would come back
Santiago one of the richest sugar. coffee
and fruit growing districts in the West
and as it takes only IA months to grow,
unlike coffee and oranges, the poorer
classes could undertake their cultiva ton
to their great advantage.
The internal, industrial professional Ii
censing and other miscellaneous taxes
have so far been RENTED in this part of
Cuba, but the authorities are now prepar-
ing to enforce them. Now that the Gus
toms tariffs have been disposed of. Mr.
Porter recommends that an immediate
statement be prepared for the levying and
collecting of internal revenue for the en-
tire island
The question of separating these taxes
from purely municipal taxes should also
be considered.
The large amount of delinquents during
the last three years, which have amounted
to about Sc 1000, co., was, of course, due to
war In normal times we have here four
or five million dollars of revenue that
must not be OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES which, If
properly and economically employed, would
aid in the Industrial rehabilitation of
Cuba. Some of the more Onerous eXac-
tons, however, should be abolished.
Mr.. Porter speaks in high praise of the
administrative ability of General Wood,
the military governor of Santiago, as
shown in his admirable manag of
the affairs of the province.
