SANTIAGO'S TRADE.
General Woods Report Shows It IL Oh
the Increase.

General Woods Report Shows 1t IL ON
the Increase.
Washington, Jan. 1O.-The trade of
Santiago is already showing surpris-
ing growth under American admins
tration. General Wood has submitted
report to the war department., in
which he states that the policy of nom
discriminative intercourse extended to
the vessels of all nations in Santiago
province has greatly facilitated the re-
establishment of commercial relations
and has been one of the chief features
in the restoration of comparative pros
perity in commerce, industry and agri-
culture.
Outward cargoes of sugar and other
products are being gradually found for
shipping, but expectations from the
mines of the province have contributed
the bulk of the exports.
"The fact" says General Wood.
"that the mines were put into opera
ton at an early date after the capitula
ton of Santiago was important in
that the employment of large number
of natives during critical period was
stimulated by the facilities for ship
ping Ores"
The division Of customs and insular
affairs of the war department has re-
ceived from the collector of customs at
Havana, Colonel Lasker H. Bliss, un-
der date of December 30, 1898, his re-
port.
Colonel Bliss says that the first seri-
Gus embarrassment he met with on TAX
ing charge of the custom house at Ha-
vana was caused by the fact that the
Spaniards had removed nearly every
thing except the bare walls and floors.
is first official step was to obtain full
list of employees in the custom house.
their salaries and nationality. and next
information as to their general charac-
ter and reputation for integrity.
Colonel Bliss says that. as was to be
expected, the several places in the GUS
tom house when he assumed charge
were chiefly held by Spaniards. the to-
tai number employed being 239. The
problem that confronts him, he says,
is how to repair house from founda-
ton to roof without material disturb
ance of it occupants and without in
terfering with their daily business.
Under this condition. he remarks. he
cannot of course begin by tearing the
house down.

Boston, Jan. 12.-Ferdinand w.
Peck, United States com missioner-gen-
eral to the Paris exposition. in his
speech at the Algonquin Club banquet.
said:
'.Although we have succeeded in OBJ
tanning our fair proportion OF exhibit
space for the American section. yet
our allotment is grossly inadequate,
and those intrusted with the response
bility must make a constant struggle
in the direction Of careful selection and
extreme condensation, and out OF the
demands for space which in the aggre
gate are already beyond that at our
command, we must retain only the ex-
hibits that are the best.
''This is a period Of national expan-
sion. In the recent strife with for
eign power we have successfully
fought for humanity. The booming Of
the guns of Admiral Dewey at Manila
has thundered around the earth, and
awakened all civilization to the fact
that the American republic now reaches
across the globe, and the nation of the
new century is rising on this side OF
the Atlantic. Therefore the approach
ing peace festival in France is most
opportune, enabling. as il will. our

Weather Report.

DIES MONIES, Iowa May, 8, 1899.
The mean temperature for the past
week was above normal, the average
daily excess ranging from degrees to
nine degrees. On the morning of the
4th frost was observed at many stations,
but no damage resulted. The rainfall
was ample in all districts and somewhat
excessive in portions of the southern
and central sections.
Weather conditions have been favor
able for the growth of grass and all
small grain crops, which are reported to
be in very fine condition. Pasturage is
now sufficiently advanced for the full
support of stock.
A large area has been prepared for
corn and planting will be in full progress
as soon as the conditions of soil will
permit. In numerous localities fair
beginning has been made in planting.
Apple, plum and cherry trees are gen.
orally in bloom. In respect to LEAKAGE,
bloom and general growth of vegetation
the season is now about as well advanced
as the average of recent years.
