ADMINISTRATION
 OF CUBAN AFFAIRS
Given Special Consideration by
 the Cabinet Yesterday
THE PEOPLE OF SANTIAGO
Seem to Misurderstand the Order Issued by General Brooke Providing That Custom Receipts Be Sent
 to Havana.

Washington, January 6-The cabinet al It's meeting today gave special considera- tion to the administration of affairs in Cuba. There seems to be a misunderstood ing among some of the people of Santiago as to the policy of the government with re- spect to the expenditure of money collected from internal revenue and customs sources. It is not believed that General Wood, who Is in command at Santiago, mlsunderstands the purposes of the government, but in any event nothing will be done in the mat ter until General Wood arrives here. Then an effort will be made to arrive at some general plan for the handling of the re- ceipts in the islands It seems certain, however, that all moneys disbursed must come through a central head and that un- der no circumstances can any particular city or section be allowed to expend all of i's collectors ) tn. neglect of other sec tions.
 Nothing of special interest has been re- ceived by the government from Iloilo. AL
 hough much interested in the progress of events there is manifested, the administra- tion has full confidence in its representa- tives on the ground and no further action will be taken until something further is learned as to the situation.

chair and took up the consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial appro- priation bill.
 It was agreed to confine the general de- bate to an hour on each side. Criticized Expansion Policy
 MT. Swanson (dem. Va.), taking advan- tage of the latitude allowed in debate while in committee of the whole, delivered an
 hours speech in criticism of the policy of
 expansion The administration which could hardly be driven into a war for liberty, had within a few months become greedy for conquest. The liberators of the Cubans | were to become the despoiers of the Philippines. He contended that 1t was un- constitutional for the United States to un- , dertake a colonial expansion, and cited the Dred Scott decision in support of his contention.
 At the conclusion of MT. Swanson's re-
 marks the bill was read from amendment
 under the five minute rule. MT. Evans, re- publican, of Kentucky, moved to strike out the appropriation for the civil service com-
 mission. He reviewed prefly the struggle against the extension of the civil service, law. It had outgrown it's original bounds and he willing to bring the question to a test by cutting off the appropriation for the commission. He was not spoilsman; he believed in merit but he was opposed to life tenure and he was opposed to the present conduct of the law.
 MT Cookery, democrat, of Missouri, said any atetmpt to nullfy the law by declining to appropriate for the commission would fail It might embarrass the commission, but the commission could go into the courts and sue for their salaries under the law If the other side of the house desired to repeal the civil service law it should be done openly and without indirection. To Coercc the President He said the whole object of this amend ment was to coerce the president MT. Linney, republican, of North Caro- lima, replying to MT. Cookery said that an intelligent expression of the people on this subject through the popular branch of con- gress would not be regarded as an attempt | at coercion of the president.
 l MT. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who was at the | head of the anti-civil service movement | during the last sessicn said that for twelve | years he had seen the annually recurring l motion made. He admitted there was some virtue in the argument. But no one could 1 deny that the civil service law had over l reached itself. It had throttled the ap- pointing power of the government. Men who supported it when it became a law never dreamed 1t would be carried to the | extent to which it has been carried. After some further debate, participated in | among others by MT. Sims, democrat, of | Tennessee, and MT. Fleming democrat, of | Georgia, in opposition to the amendment | the vote was taken. The motion to strike | out carried-67 to 61. The anti-civil service reformers applauded vigorously. MT. Moody gave notice that he would de- 1 mand yea and nay vote in the house. The committee then rose and the house l adjourned.

HAS BEEN NO CHANGE.
Original Order Regarding Cuban Gus
 toms Adhered to.

Washington, January 6.-There has been no change in the original order issued by the war department for the regulation of the customs in Cuba. Any modification made by the Havana authorities therefor in favor of Santiago was nothing more than a recurrence to a proper construction of that order. It was said at once at the war department upon attention being called to the complaint that the funds received at Santiago were being sent to Havana, that if this were done it was something not called for by the order which in terms called only for a report to Havana of the business of the supports. It is not the intention of the authorities here to modify the plan laid down for the regulation of the customs and it certainly will not be attempted to erect as many important gov- ernments in Cuba as there are privinces, as has been proposed.

 If we enter upon a colonial policy we must expect to hear the command Silence issuing with increasing emphasis from the imperialists. When the discussion of funda- mental principles is attempted in the United States, if a member of congress attempts to criticise any injustice perpetra ted by government official against helpless peo- pie he will be warned to keep silent lest his criticism encourages resistance to American authority in the orient. If an orator the Fourth of July desires to speak of the in alenable rights or refers with commenda- ton to the manner in which our forefathers resisted the taxa ton without representation he will be warned to keep silent lest his utteranceS excite rebellion among distant subjects. If we adopt colonial policy and pursue the course which excited the revolu- ton of 1776 we must muffle the tones of the old liberty bell and commune in whispers when we praise the patriotism of our fore fathers
 Declaration of Independence
 "We cannot afford to destroy the declara- ton of independence; we cannot afford to erase from our constitutions, state and na- tional, the bill of rights; we have not time to examine the libraries of the nation and purge them of the essays, the speeches and the books that defend the doctrine that law is the specialization of public opinion, rath- CT than an emanation from physical power. But even if we could destroy every vestige of the laws which are the outgrowth of the immortal law penned by Jefferson; if we could obliterate every written word
 that has been inspired by the idea that this is government of the people, by the peo- pie and for the people, we could not tear out of the human race the principle on which the American republic was planted. ''The impassioned appeal, Give me liberty or give me death,' still echoes around the world. In the future, as in the past, the desire to be free will be stronger than the desire to enjoy a mere physical existence. The conflict between right and might will continue here and everywhere until day is reached when the love of money will no longer scar the national conscience and hypocrisy no longer hide the hideou3 fea- lures of avarice behind the mask of phi lanthropy."
 Scene of Pandcmonium
 While Colonel Bryan was received with most enthusiastic demonstration, there was a scene of pandemonium when he closed his speech. The men jumped on their chairs and some on to the tables and kept up loud cheering and waving of linen for a long time. Colonel Bryan's closing climax was on the trusts as the benefci- aries of expansion. The favored class, he said, would get all that came back and the taxpayers and common people would pay for the armies and the colonial goy- ernment.
 Congressman Lentz followed with a ter- rife arraignment of President McKinlAv.

 Some Startling Doctrines
 "We have heard" he said some startling doc . les as to the power of the United States to establish governments in foreign territory acquired by the United States an nounced on this floor"
 He declared that these announced doc trines were more arbitrary than any winch had ever before been heard in the United States congress.
 They conferred upon congress a despotic power, unlimited and unrestricted.
 He quoted the speech of MT. Platt of Con necticut, to which his speech was an swer, that part of the Connecticut senator's remarks in which he maintained the gov ernments right to acquire foreign territory was inherent and without limitation and that the power to establish government in such acquired territory is inherent and un- limited.
 Here" said MT. Caffery, "the bald prop osition is advanced that the right to govern Is broad and imperial and without limitation by our constitution. If the argument ad- vanced by the senator from Connecticut be
  of man are to be held by the United States under a congressional despotism. Our con- stitution knows no despotism; it seduously provides against despotism; but right here is despotism of the most fragrant possible character"
 MT. Caffery then entered upon elab- crate argument to show that heretofore 1t had been the unwavering policy of this gov- ernment to obtain from the governed their consent before the reignS of government were drawn over them.
 An Elaborate Argument
 MT. Caffery said if we had the right to incorporate these distant islands, inhabited by strange people, into this country, free dom could not exist in the sub-tropics. ''The history of the world shows that God has set the bounds where the different peoples of the earth shall abide When l look at the conditions of the world am unaterably convinced that no permanent sway can be held by the white man over the black man in the sub-tropics except by a strong military and cruel despotism. Mir. Caffery said that we were sometimes told from the pulpit that we had mission to perform-that mission being to spread among all peoples the doctrines of human rights He doubted whether this could be done by placing upon the people yokS and whether the principles of Christianity c9uld be advanced by force.
 He concluded at 3:25 p. m. MT Morgan called up the Nicaragua canal bill and explained the notifications agreed to by the committee to the amendments of- fered by MT Berry before the holiday re- cess. At the request of MT Morgan the bill was modified and amended and was or dered to be printed.

 Included in General Merritts testimony was a statement from Admiral Dewey, in which he speaks of the natives of Luzon as gentle and docile and says of them that under just laws and with the benefits of popular education they would make good citizens"
 More Intelligent Than Cubans q
 He adds that they are more intelligent and better capable of self-government than the Cubans.
 On July 24 Aguinaldo wrote to General Anderson, saying he had come from Hong Kong to make common cause with. tho Americans against the Spaniards, but ask ing that the American troops should com municate in writing to him before disem- barking at the places intended to be occu- pied in order to prevent trouble.
 Replying to a letter from Consul Wild man holding out to him the advantages of annexation to the United States, Aguinaldo writes on August l that it is an alluring picture, but that he doubts if he can bring his people to see it's beauty. He asks for the recognition of the Philippine govern lhent ir orc CT to join -'lh it in annexation and suggests that the American forces should cooperate with those of the Philip pine governI " On August 2S he wrote to General Merritt, urging that the Philip pines should have a share in governing Manila and reminding the American gen. eral of the share of his people in it's sub jugation.
 Not Difficult Task
 The volume also contains a letter written by General Sir Andrew Clark, who is re- ferred to in a note of transmission by Hon. John Hay, then ambassador to Great Brit ain, ''as one of the greatest living authori- ties in England on subjects of the govern ment of the islands in the Malay archipel- ago." Referring to his own successful ac- ton in 1874 for the pacifcation of the Malay peninsula, he says:
 ''I believe the task of pacifying the Fl.p- inos would be no more difficult and, per haps, easier than that which I accomplished in the Malay peninsula. No doubt the pres ence of another great military force will be at first desirable at two important centers, but I attach more importance to ample naval provisions, more especially of gunboats able to move freely among the islands and ascend the rivers"
