BITTER OPPOSITION
Displayed in Santiago over an Order to
Send Funds to Havana.

displayed In santiago over an order TO
Send Funds to Havana.
Santiago de Cuba, January AN or
der has been received from Havana,
which, if enforced, will mean, in the
judgment of the commercial classes
here, serious injury to the province.
This is a direction to transmit the en-
tire customs receipts each week to Ha-
vana. Compliance with such instruc-
tions would involve the abandonment
of many necessary public improve
ments, especially in the matter of roads
and water works.
Since the American occupation began
these funds have been used for such
purposes and have been the principal
means of meeting the necessary ex-
penditures.
Popular excitement over the order is
growing among all classes. The Cham
Der of Commerce, the Sons of Veterans,
the Supreme Court and the San Carlos
club have called meetings to take
action; and each organization will
cable to Washington an earnest pro-
test against what is defined as the "sui-
cidal policy of centralizing money at
Havana"

Chicago January 2.-Steel and steam

fast mail contest tonight
How the race from Chicago to Omaha
ended cannot be told until morning.
for the Northwestern and Burlington
! trains do not reach Omaha until then.
But when last heard from, both fast
| mail trains We're in Central Iowa, fly-
ing westward at a better rate than
mile minute.
The Burlington fast mail left Chicago
at $50. The new flyer of the North
western road left Chicago one half an
hour later. The Burlington is due in
Omaha at 1855 and the Northwestern
| at s: 10 tomorrow morning.
As the government makes no mail
contracts with the railroads for any
stated period, under the rules and reg
ulations, the Northwestern has only to
give faster service to Omaha for seven
| days than does the Burlington to dem
onstrate that it is entitled to half OF
| the mail contract, if not all of 1t. But
| if in the seven days the Burlington
maintains its fast schedule and does
| better than the Northwestern, then the
latter has no right to demand change.
| In order to get the mail for the Pa
| cifie coast to Omaha within the time
| planned, both trains ran at various
| times at speed equaling so miles an
hour, while the lowest rate of speed
was 49.5 miles an hour.
The Northwestern used the 900 SER
| les of engines for it's fast run, of which
| 40 have been built for the road. The
dimensions of these monsters are:
| Eight wheels, cylinders, 10 by "a;
| drive wheels, 6S inches; weight, 1885,
900 pounds; weight of tender loaded.
$4,000 pounds: water capacity of ten
der, 4,5OO gallons; coal capacity OF
tender, eight tons.
The Burlington used the class s en-
gines. The dimensions of that engine
| are: Guage, feet 812 inches; cylin-
ders, 10 by 26; drivers, S4A inches;
weight, 10000 pounds: weight on
drivers, $4,000 pounds; tank capacity,
1000 gallons.
The load behind these engines was
not heavy one, Only mail cars were
attached and the entire equipment was
for speed making. The Northwestern
| had 1925 miles to run and the Bur-
| lington 500 miles. The mail which
| the Burlington carried and which the
Northwestern desires, left New York
City and Boston simultaneously Sun
day night at O'Clock, entering Chi
cago at $3.50 tonight over the Lake
| Shore.

NOT SO SERIOUS.
War and Navy Officials Believe Re-
ports from the Philippines Sound
More Harsh Than Circumstances
Warrant.

Washington, January 2.-Nothing
| more has been heard at the War de-
partment from Gen. Otis at Manila
since his cablegram of yesterday was
received. The situation is irritating in
the fact that according to the expert
| ence of the last few days 1t is not to
be expected that anything more can be
heard from Iloilo for day or two at
least, except in the very improbable
event that the American force has been
repulsed in their efforts to make a
landing and has been obliged to return
straight to Manila 1t Is surmised from
the reports that Gen. Miller is proceed
| ing with more tact and with less rough
ness in his dealings with the insurgents
than appeared from a first inspection
of the reports. His purpose apparently
was to avoid such formal recognition
of the insurgents as might tend to en-
barrass the United States government
hereafter, but at the same time not to
deal harshly with them if they can be
brought to see the rectitude of his in
tentions. Therefore the officials are of
the opinion that there will be no actual
hostilities between the forces arrayed
against Gen. Otis and his own, but that
at the worst the former will retire from
the city without accepting or rejecting
the American overtures until they have
heard from Aguinaldo. Gen. Otis has
taken steps to acquaint Gen. Miller
with the very latest instructions of the
President and a special messenger is
Although officials profess this strong
belief that no serious trouble will occur
they have taken the precaution to ex-
pedite the dispatch of military rein
forcements to Gen. Otis command in
the Philippines. Orders have been is
sued for the Twentieth regiment of in
departure so as to be in San Francisco
by the It'll inst. in order to embark on
the military transport being fitted out
to sail for Manila on that date, if posi-
BILE. The two other infantry regiments
which are under orders to proceed to
the Philippines by the Pacific route
the 3rd and 22nd-will follow as soon
as means of water transportation can
be secured. Three other regiments are
also under orders to proceed to Manila
by way of the Mediterranean and Suez
canal. These are the Fourth, Twelfth
and Seventeenth infantry regiments.
They will make the trip on the new
transports Mobile and Mohawk and I'M

WASHINGTON, January 2-The grip
arr the ailments attendant upon it that
are now included in its train of ills has
Frustrated an unusual number of resi-
dents of Washington. AT all the drug
stores, where the real barometer of the
state of public health, the reports are the
same, that there were never SO many
prescriptions or so many calls for the
remedies which are supposed to be spe-
cific for diseases of the mucuous system
An observant pharmacist estimates that
10 per cent. of the districts population
is suffering in one way or another from
the now generic grip.
Three members of the Senate Commit
tee on Appropriations are so i'll that they
will not be able to leave their homes for
several days. These include Senators
Sewell and Cockrell, both of whom have
been sick for two weeks or more, and Sen
ator Allison, who has the grip and is
keeping to his room to avoid more serious
consequences.
Senator Turpie, of Indiana, is recover
| ing from an attack of pneumonia, but
! for several days has been able to sit up.
| 1t is not at all likely he will go to the
capitol for, at least two weeks, as his re-
cent illness has weakened him to such
an extent that he will be in danger of a
| relapse unless he receives the very best
car.
OF the Justices of the upreme Court,
one, Justice Gray, is sick with the grip;
! of the United States Court of Claims,
| Justice Weldon is ailing; of the District
Court of Appeals, Chief Justice Alvey and
| Justice Morris are both affected, and of
| the Justices of the District Supreme
Court, Chief Justice Bingham and Justice
Cox are sick.
The present freezing spell, it is hoped,
will have a beneficial effect in killing the
germs of the disease

i'll Anderson on June the 14th on econ

he moves his listeners, as with the
wand of an enchanter, to laughter at

people went wild over it, and all were
sorry when the end came. Few men,
