General Hobson had taken the chair by
declaring that underhanded methods had

After a stormy debate lasting several
hours, motion to reconsider the vote by

SANTIAGO REVENUES
Greatly Exceed All the Expenses of
the Government.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. ply the
courtesy of General Lawton, the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent was today
afforded an opportunity to peruSe the
report issued by Customs Collector
Donaldson, covering the transactions
of the custom house at Santiago during
the period between July 16 and Sept
l. The report, which was forwarded to
Washington today deals unanimously
with the work of gradually reorganiz-
ing this department of the capitulated
territory.
The sum of S107, 7S3 was collected dur
ing the period from various sources,
and payments We're made of $13, l0l for
sanitary and similar purposes, city po-
lice and municipal salaries, salaries of
custom house officials and nliscellane-
Gus expenses.
After reviewing the various sources
of revenue, Collector Donaldson eSti-
mates the annual income of the prov
ince of Santiago at $2,150,00O. He
makes a strong plea for the assignment
of a revenue cutter for continuous en-
ployment in these waters.
The question of a definltlVe, stable
currency for Cuba is dealt with. Du
ties at present are paid in gold coin
of the United States, rendering neceS-
sary daily estimates and computations
of comparative values, there being no
absolute standard of a circulating me-
dunn, and confusion has arisen, par
ticularly in the matter of inter-
changeable value of silver coins of the
two countries. Attempts have been
made by local flnancierS to secure a
conventional agreement that Spanish
silver coin be exchanged for American
coin on basis of two to one; but, as
the interchangeable value and eX-
change value of the respective coins do
not correspond, the attempts have not
resulted in even temporary benefit AS
a preliminary step to disposing of the
matter, it will recommend that, as soon
as practicable, authoritative instruc-
tionS be issued that duties be collected
entirely in American gold.
The revenue collected has been found
sufficient to cover all the administra-
tive expenses of Santiago thus far au-
thoriZed. Other resources disclosed in
the archives of the office are available
for the increased, unexpected, eXtraor-
binary expenses. These resources are
estimated at S165, 900 yearly for Santi-
ago City, and, for other towns in the
province, at $18,500
The report closes with a manifest of
the numerous resources of public reve-
nue.. The sums authoritatively collected
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 Dor
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 office during the correspond
ing period under the Spanish regula-
tiOnS

BETTER GUNS FOR WARSHIPS
NAVY DEPARTMENT MAKES
FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS.
New 12-Inch Gun Will Equal the
13-Inch-Velue of Ammunition
Used During the War.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The navy de-
partment has recently placed orders for
forgings for naval rifles of calibers
from four to 12-inch, to supply the new
battleshi3s. and in a short time the
navy yard factory will begin to turn
out ordnance embodying radical
changes in construction, and much
more powerful than guns of the same
caliber now af1oat on our ships.
The ordnance officers have for sew
erdl years realized the possibility of
improving the present standard naval
gun, effective as it is, but the time has
not been opportune to do this, nor was
the money available to undertake the
change on large scale until this year.
The advent of smokeless powder has
also aided to make the change DOS
sible.
The new 12-inch gun will be as eff
fective as the 13-inch gun in range and
striking force. This is achieved at the
expense of weight, but the difference is
still in favor of the new design. For
instance, the present 12-inch gun
weighs 46 tons. against % tons for the
new gun. But this gun takes the place
Of a 13-inch gun, which weighs 81 tons,
so that a considerable saving is eff
fected. About the same rate of gain
is secured in all the lesser calibers. The
new gun will send its projectile at the
enormous velocity of 5000 feet per sec
ond, which is about so per cent greater
than the velocity of the present Pinch
shell.
The ordnance officers say that there
is a very erroneous idea prevalent as
to the value Of ammunition shot away
by Dewey at Manila and by Simpsons
fleet at Santiago. Instead of this rum
ming up as high as 81, 0O0, 600, as assert
cd in some quarters, the fact was that
Dewey, at Manila, fired SAL, 900 worth of
ammunition, and the North Atlantic
squadron, at Santiago, on July 8, and
during the bombardments, not to ex-
coed $lO0. O00

ARMIsTICE VIOLATED.
Cubans at Matanzas Are Spelling For
a Fight.

ASAt'
Havana, Sept 22.-The insurgent chief,
Eduardo Garcia, with 500 men, piched his
camp on Sunday on the estate Ingenito
two miles from Maranzas. within the linn
4 its of the zone designated by the Spanish
4 government. General Molina, the Spanish
military governor, sent a polite commune
cation to Garcia informing MIN that he
was inside the limits and would be eX-
pected to move his camp The lnSurgent
leader answered that he considered he
was not infringing upon the provisions Of
the armiStice and would remain where he
was. To a second and more urgent re-
quest Garcia replied that he meant to
stay where he was and only could he re-
moved by force.
A clash appeared imminent. General
Molina mustered his men and prepared to
send them TO dislOdge the Cubans. but
first consulted Captain General Blanco by
wire. General Blanco replied advising
General Molina to avoid clash. The Gu
bans continue to remain encamDed in
their previous position.
Advices from MatanZas report great dis
tress and sickness prevalent there, the
streets remaining unclean and no atten-
ton to their condition is being given by
the city officials
Yesterday morning, as before reported
the American nag was hoiSted over the
Trocha hotel. General ArolaS, the inili-
tary governor, went to the palace at noon
and protested against the inSolence of the
action, saying that as military governor
he should issue an order forhidding the
Stars and Stripes to be hoisted today.
Captain General Blanco said he would al
low nc such order TO be issued, as the
American commissioners were entirely
within their rights in having the Ameri-
can flag fioated over their residence and
consequently the flag this morning was
still waving over the headquarters of the
commission.
General Blanco has issued an order au-
thorizing the soldiers of the Cuban army
to travel unarmed on railway trains in
the provinces Of Pinar del Rio and Ha-
Vana.
The Cuban troops throughout the island
have addressed a petition to the planters,
requesting relief, which, while not an OBJ
Hgatory tax, is practically identical with
one.
On Sunday evening last, Juan Villegas,
the pastry cook, with several other mem
bers of the crew of the Spanish cruiser
AlphonsO XIII, provided with written per-
mission from their commander, attended
a performance at the Tacon III eatre in
uniform. Soldier sand sailors are forbid
den 20 go to the theatre unless provided
with permits from their superior officers.
In this case all had the necessary permits
sion. but General Arolas, nevertheless
had all the men arrested and taken to the
Cabanas prison, utterly ignoring their
permits, and only releasing them yester-
day evening upon complaint being made
by the admiral. and General Blanco
threatened to report the abuse to tie
minister. of marine at Madrid. 1t is said
that General Arolas is making enemies
by his arbitrary and autocratic WAYS.

ANOTHER TOBACCO WAR.
Independent Companies and the Com
bine Cutting Rates.

st. Louis. Sept. 22.-The Republic tomor-
row will say: Tobacco manufacturers
and dealers in st. Louis regard the 10 per
cent cut made by the Liggett * Myers
Tobacco company on all brands as the be-
ginning of another terrific fight to be
waged between the Independent factories
and the American Tobacco company
commonly referred to as the trust. The
fact that the Drummond Tobacco COM
pany of this city has not made any re-
duction leads to the belief that the Con-
tinental deal will go through, even if it
has not already been cOnSummated, and
that the Drummond people will cast their
lot with the combine.
What action will be taken by the Con-
tinental company toward meeting the cut
of the Liggett x Myers company cannot
be said until the negotiations are all set
tied. AS the matter stands. the new or
ganiZation is not in a position to do much,
but if the Drummond deal goes through
it is entirely probable that retaliation will
come in the form of a vigorous onslaught
on cigarettes. The Drummond factory
will strengthen the American company in
a spot in which it has always been weak
while the Continental will probably make
big cut in the price of plug.

ROMAN CATHOLIC POLICY.
Spanish Priests In New Possessions
Will Be Undisturbed.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Archbishop Ire
land has given the first definite in
formation regarding the policy of the
Roman Catholic church in Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippines 1t includes
approval of the administration plan OF
leaving the church question out OF
peace discussions and announces that
the church in the islands will conform
to new conditions. He says:
when the dominion of the United
States is fully established the church
will come under the same laws that
will govern the country and be separ-
ate from the state the same as it now
is in America"
Whether the ecclesiastical jurisdic-
ton of Cardinal Gibbons shall be ex-
tended to cover at least a part of
Americas new possessions, is. accord
ing to Archbishop Ireland still a mat
ter for the holy father to decide, and
at present no American prelate knows
what will be done.
The archbishop declared that the
present personnel of the clergy in the
islands would be undisturbed. He has
been attending the opening exercises
of Notre Dame university and learned
upon his arrival in Chicago that talk
of an ecclesiastical commission had
been published.
There will be no such commission
from America to investigate the
church in Cuba, Porto Rico or the
Philippines" he said. ANY statement
that there will be is false and unfair
to the clergy in our new possessions.
The Spanish priests Will not be re-
quired to retire for the reason that
they, better than any one else, know
what is needed under the new condi-'
lions and can bring about a change
much more easily than any commits
sion that might be appointed. The
clergy in the islands is made up of
men of intelligence and tact. They will
attend to their own work and do it
well. None of our priests or bishops
could speak the language OF the peo-
pie, and would be at loss to do as
much as the men now at the head of
the church. You may say that the
priests of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines will be in accord with
American ideas and progression, and
they will be left to bring about the
necessary change in their own way
and it will be the best way"

whether there was any disposition to ac-

PROGRESS OF THE RACE.

The subject of Rev. G.. w. Tolson's
remarks was Progress of the Race. >"
He mentioned with pride the fact that
there were in the United States p COL
leges and 5000 public schools devoted
to the colored people. They had made
constant progress since their enslave-
ment in 1920, and now doctors, lawyers
and teachers were numbered among
them. and they had held almost every
position except president of the United
States. The white man had learned
them to steal, but not in such large
amounts as he. They had travelled with
him on the Atlantic and Pacific. from
the lakes TO the gulf, in valleys, hills
and mountains, and were here to stay
All language would be inadequate to
express the progress made in one-half
a century.
A resolution was passed endorsing the
Utah Plain Dealer as the race journal
of the state, and thanking the people
who have worked to make the celebra-
ton a success.
At the conclusion of the programme
the company sat down to a sumDtuous
repast in the banquet room, followed
later in the evening by delightful
trolley ride over TIE Salt Lake City
road.
The occasion was brought 70 a happy
termination in the evening by a
queens ball, which was largely attend
ed and passed off delightfully."-. Miss

J. NJ. Dickinson talked on the Con
duct of the Colored Soldier in Battle at
Santiago" He said the courage of the
coIored man had been proven in the
late war. The Tenth cavalry rescued
the rough riders in the charge at San
Juan on the oath of July. Their brav-
cry was shown when they went for
ward after their leader had fallen,
which disproved the opinion of some
writer's that the colored soldier will
fight only so long as he is led. When
Colonel Liscum fell the men went for
ward over the trenches and had to be
called back.
Mr. Dickinson advanced the argyll
ment that the success of the colored
race depended ON them going to another
country and colonizing, and nationally
ing it for themselves. The selfishness
of the white man, he thought, blocked
the road to success here. In Cuba there
are 100000 acres of unclaimed land,
to which they have a right, since they
shed blood to make it free from Spain.
There they might be people - them
selves. He disputed the assertion made
by some that the Cubans are superior
to the American colored people.
