Santiago Was Asked to Re-
port Receipts
NOT TO DISGORGE THEM
But Would Have No Howl
Coming in Any Event.

Washington. ain. 4.-Regarding the SEN
sational reports from Santiago that the
whole province had been iDf1amed by the
recent order of the war department con
centrating all customs money in Havana
thus threatening a stoppage of ali public
improvements and threatening to throw
thousands Of Cubans out of employment,
il may be authoritatively stated that any
excitement existing in Santiago IS due 10
a misapprehensiOn of the war department ;
order. 1T seems TO have been taken Tor
granted that the order contemplates send
ing all currency collected for customs du-
ties to Havana and thus cutting on the
government of Santiago province from the
employment Of local labor. The fact is that
the officers in charge of customs at the
various ports of entry are merely ordered
10 make weekly reports TO the collector
Of customs of the island at the chief port,
Of all the transactions at the SUPPORT,
over which he may have jurisdiction, with
copies of entries of merchandise duly GER
titled
The customs from all the ports Of the
island are to be used for the betterment
Havana and Santiago, but elsewhere.
Expenditures will be divided as equita-
bly, as possible to relieve distress in vari-
Gus quarters. It would be just as equita-
BILE. it is argued, for the port of New
York to retain all the customs funds col
lected there, for expenditure on the island
of Manhattan, as It would be for Havana
or Santiago or any other town in Cuba
to gobble all the customs receipts for ex-
pendlture within its own border.
So far as the war department contem-
plating any curtailment of the relief work
In Cuba, an order already has been issued
to the governor general directing him to
furnish work to every able-bodied Cuban
applying for it, at a fair rate of weekly
wages, measured by Cuban standards. The
orders suggests that the best lines OF en-
ployment are in sanitary work, road i'm
provement and municipal work Of various
sorts.
1t is intended to offer a chance for re-
munerative work to all who are able TO
take advantage of it, and 10 cut off the
gratutous distribution Of rations among
those natives able to work for what they
eat. The employment contemplated will
not be offered, however, to any resident Of
the island who retains his allegiance to
Spain.

A couple appeared before Judge Foster
yesterday, wanting a marriage license, and
also to be wed. The Judge asked the
young lady her age and she replied that
she was only II years old, upon which he
refused to either grant the license or per
form the ceremony. They left the office.
but in a short time returned, bringing with
them one of their neighbors, who swore
that the bride was past the age of - years.
Upon this information Judge Foster pro-
ceeded with the ceremony, but before he
had pronounced them man and wife, they
admitted in answering the regulation ques-
tions, that they were first cousins, so the
judge called all bets off. and in doing so
lost his fees and sent two persons from
his office very much disappointed.

Body Found IN the River.

y dispatch from Macon, Ga, says
the body of Mrs. Eugenia Pottle, widow
Of the late Judge Joseph Pottle. one Of
the most prominent men in that sec
ton aud daughter of Col. John Hamil-
tor, who took prominent part in the
border troubles il Missouri and Kansas
before the war, was found in Ocmulgec
river, just above the city Thursday af-
ternoon. Mrs. Pottle disappeared
while on the way from Macon to her
Jones county plantation Monday, Nov.
20, and the search for her since that
time had been unavailing up to Thurs
day. An investigation Of the case
lead to the belief that she had been the
victim Of foul play and circumstances
strongly pointed to Allen Fuller, a Ne
gro, as her probable murderer. Fuller
has been arrested and lodged in Bibb
county Jail where he will await more
thorough investigation Of the case.
Mrs. Pottlc was well known through
out the State and was woman Of
marked peculjaritieS.

a Filipino Amazon.

A Manila newspaper called Freedom
prints this story as part Of an interview
with a Spanish prisoner escaped from
the Filipino lines: Zone thing not
generally known is that saddle-col-
ored Joan of Arc is leading brigade
Of the ragtag army. She is described
being about IS years of age, pure
Filipino and very plain looking. She
was dressed in trousers, high boots,
short Khaki jacket, and carried hand
some belt, with two revolvers attached.
She wore one Of the United States
service hats, and on her shoulders the
straps of her rank. The natives gave
her every honor and said she was per-
fectly fearless on the field. Her hus-
band, whom she was with when he was
killed near linus, was major; when
he fell she seized his revolver and
tried to reform the flying 'gugus,' but
in vain. For this she was commits
stoned in her husbands place, and has
since been promoted for bravery to q
brigadier. :"

Will Succeed Brooks.

Gen. Leonard Wood had conference
with the secretary Of war Friday re-
specting his future. While neither Of
the principals had anything to say for
publication as to the conclusions
reached, tits gathered that Gen. Wood
is to be the next governor Of Cuba, sue
ceeding Gen. Brooks, who will return
to the United States. 1t is expected
that the military force in Cuba can be
greatly reduced in the near future, so
that while Gen. Wood, by commanding
the troops remaining will be military
governor, there will be so little left Of
the militarJ establishment that his
office will be mnch more civil than
military in fact. The reduction in
force will enable the war department to
withdraw some or perhaps all Of the
general officers Of the regulars now in
Cuba.
