IT WAS ALL A HUGE MISTAKE.
Weekly Reports, Not Money, is What

Washington. Jan. 4.-Regarding the
sensational reports from Santiago that
the whole province has been inflamed
by the recent order of the War Depart
ment concentrating all customs money
in Havana" thus threatening a stop
page of all public improvements and
threatening to throw thousands of Gu
bans out of employment, it may he au-
thOritiatively stated that any excitement
existing in Santiago is due to misap-
prehension of the War Departments
order. 1t seems TO have been taken for
granted that the order contemplate
sending all currency collected for GUS
toms dues to Havana, and thus cutting
off the governor of Santiago province
from the employment of local labor. The
fact is that the officers in charge of Gus
toms ut the various ports of entry are
merely ordered to make weekly reports
to the collector of customs of the island
at the chief port, and all transactions
at the SUPPORT over which he may have
jurisdiction, with copies of entries Of

So far from the War Department con

the best lines of employment are in

municipal works Of various sorts. 1t is
intended to offer chance for renumera-

Order For Capitalization of Customs
May Arouse Cubans.
Santiago de Cuba. Jan 4.-Meetings
were held at all the political clubs last
people, those favOring the annexation of
Cuba to the United States, were aston
ished at the orders from Havana for tle
Capitalization of the customs money
there. The past Is hours have COM
pl6tely altered the situation of affairs
here. The province had gradually set
tied down and was contented with. the
order of things prevailing, recognizing
the benefits conferred. Now there is a
complete change and there is no eXag-
geration in saying that the situation is
critical; that spark would set up a
blaze which would plunge the province
into instruction. 1t is generally adj
mitted that if one thousand men were
suddenly discharged from the public
works such action would probably cause
n revolt which it would be hard to
qucll.
Major General John. II. Brooke. the
Governor General of Cuba. is apparently
ignoring General Leonard Wood in COM
mand here. and is cabling direct to his
subordinates. He has ordered the act
ing collector of cusome to bank no money,
and the commanding general of the
province has ordered the postoffice to
close several minor offices, including Son
go and Bayamo, shutting off the mail
of the regiments there.
Dr. Castillo will accompany General
Wood to Washington, representing the
British interests in Santiago. to lay
these matters before the President.
General Woods work here is now
more thoroughly appreciated by the Gu
bans.

which has a good deal more common
sense in It than can be found in most II
the Eastera utterances on the meat ques-

Ten or twelve years ago cattle ranchlng

Price by 1859 had reached figure 50 low

and it began to be given up. In the period
of ten years up to January, 1899, the num-
her OF cattle in the country had fallen off
10 600 o'0 head. These figures are from the
department of agriculture, and the man
who writes from mere inspiration or hear
say will scarcely care to dispute them.
The year 1898 showed surprising result
in this dircctoA. From the figures of the

when Mr.. Coulter was at Liberty a very

you, but l would like to know how it

But whyf Are we not really to follow
him all the way2 What is it to be
follower Of Jesusf What does 1t mean
TO initiate himf What does it mean to
walk in his stepsH"
The Rev. Calvin Bruce, d. D., of the
Nazareth Avenue church, Chicago, let
his pen fall on the paper He had come
TO the parting Of the ways, and his
question, he felt sure, was the question
Of many and many man in the min
istry and in the church. He went to his
window and opened It, He was OPP
pressed with the weight Of his convic-
tions, and he felt almost suffocated with
the air Of the room. He wanted to see
the stars and feel the breath Of the
world
The night was very still. The clock
in the First church was striking mid
night. AS it finished a clear, strong
voice down in the direction Of the Rec
tangle came floating up to him as IL
borne on radiant pinions
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go iree2
MOI There's a cross for every one.
And there's cross for me-"
II was the voice Of one Of Gray's old
converts, night Waterman at tho
packing houses, who sometimes solaced
his lonesome hours by verse or two
from some familiar hymn.
The Rev. Calvin Bruce turned away
from the window, and after little
hesitation he kneeled down. "What
would Jesus dot What would Jesus
dor" Never had he yielded himself 30
completely to the Spirits searching re-
vealing Of Jesus He was on his knees a
long time. He retired and slept fitfully.
with many awakenings He rose before
it was clear dawn and threw open his
window again, AS the light in the east
grew stronger he repeated to himself
"What would Jesus do7 What would
he dot Shall follow his steps,"
The sun rose and flooded the city
with it's power When shall the dawn
of Il new discipleship usher in the con-
quering triumph of a closer walk with
Jesus2 When shall Christendom tread
more closely the path he nader
1t is the way the Master trod.
Shall not the servant tread it still7
With this question throbbing through
his whole being the Rev. Calvin Bruce
went back to Chicago, and the great
crisis of his Christian life in the min.
istry suddenly broke irresistibly upon
