OF army beef for food a general
awakening follows. The beef rations
came from the same source that sup

general consumer is worthy of in

The people of Porto Rico already
have a conspicuous example of the
change for the better in their condi-
tion in the budget of Gen. Guy V.
Henry, the military governor, which
cuts down the amount from 1000, 600
pesos, which it was under the Spanish
regime, to 100000, saving of over
6s per cent. In addition to this the
American governor proposes to take
part of the customs receipts for the
making and repair of public roads.
The people of Porto Rico were as a
rule glad to see us, but they will be
all the more gratified and pleased at
our coming as they see from time to
time such evidences as this of what
we intend to do for them, and observe
the tightening of the burdens of gov
ernment, while at the same time the
government gives them larger returns
than ever.

AN UNPOPULAR ORDER.
Santiago's Protest Against Sending
Customs Receipts to Havana.

Santiago's Protest Against Sending
Customs Receipts to Havana.
Santiago de Cuba Jan. 3.--An order
has been received from Havana which,
if enforced, win mean, in the judgment
of the commercial classes here, serious
injury to the province. This is a di-
rectioD to transmit the entire customs
receipts each week to Havana Com
pliance with such instructions would
involve the abandonment of many
necessary improvements, especially in
the matter of roads and water works.
Since the American occupation began
these funds have been used for such
purposes, and have been the principal
means of meeting the necessary ex-
penditures. The Heraldo says that to
carry out this order would rob 10000
Cubans of employment most of whom
would probably take to the hills and
become bandits. having no other re-
course. Robert T. Mason, British con-
sui at Santiago, says it was Spains
practice Of monetary Capitalization
which caused most of her troubles in
Cuba.
General Wood, United States military
governor Of the department, on being
asked to express an opinion respecting
the order declined to be interviewed,
but 1t is reported that without Offer
ing any criticism of the policy which
dictates the order, he has shown his
annoyance at the possibility of a stop
being put to the good work being done
in the province The local taxation
fund is barely sufficient to meet the
expenses Of the city. Popular excite
ment over the order is growing among
all classes.
