Effect of Fixing the Value of the
Spanish Centene at sass.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, JAN 10-Since the
beginning of the year question that has
been causing considerable annoyance in
financial and commercial circles is the order
of the United States authorities directing
that the Spanish centene shall be received
at s4SS The large merchants consider this
a hardship. The shopkeepers, on the other
hand, are reaping a golden harvest, as they
charge for everything in United States cur
rency The laboring classes, who are paid
in Spanish currency and must buy in United
States currency. are the principal sufferers.
General Ewers called a meeting at the pail
ace of leading merchants to see what could
be done. Various plans were proposed, but
nothing definite was agreed on Most of
those who attended the meeting want a
temporary order compelling the storekeepers
to accept Spanish gold as before. General
EWers has Cabled to Governor General
Brooke asking for instructions.
A petition has just been forwarded to Pres
ident Mckinley, signed by all the Cuban
clubs, the president of the Santiago Chamber
of Commerce, the members of the Supreme
Court and Mayor Bacardi, requesting that
all offices in the island be given to repre-
SentatiVes of the insurgent cause, on the
ground that their sufferings during the last
four years entitle them to the preference.
Mrs Wood, wife of the military governor of
the Department of Santiago began to-day

season. a large number of Cuban ladies at
