Gen. Wood mt Santiago So Considers
Orders to send All Customs
Receipts Ia Havana.

Santiago de Cuba. Jan. Maj. Gen,
Leonard Wood, American military
commander here, has cabled for per-
mission to 60 TO Washington for two
days and has been granted leave Of
absence. He left Santiago on board the
United States transport Mississippi
Tuesday night.
The reason OF the generals departure
Is unquestionably the order received
from Havana 10 transmit the entire
customs receipts each week 10 the city.
AS cabled Monday night, compliance
with these instructions would involve
the abandonment OF many necessary
public improvements, would throw
10000 Cubans out OF employment. and
send them 10 the hills 10 become ban
dts, and would revive SPANS practice
OF monetary Capitalization, which
caused most OF her troubles In Cuba.
Ii is believed Gen. Wood is DESTROYS OF
seeing the president on this subject.
There was a mass meeting Tuesday
of business men OF all kinds 10 protes,
against the order from Havana.
The mass meeting was held in the
plaza and was attended by 5000 per-
sons Energetic speeches were made
against the policy Of centralizing
money at Havana. Most of the speak
ers declared that the principle which
II was now proposed to put into effect
again had been fought against by them
for 30 years. All were exceedingly
eulogistic in their references TO Gen
Wood, imploring him to use his infiu-
ence with the Washington government
against a revival Of one OF the worst
features of the Spanish regime.
The local papers again renew their as.
sertions that If such an order is en-
forced, II will mean, II not civil war, al
least anarchy and riot in the province

FLIGHT OF THE MAIL.
Time Made by Rival Trains Across
the Western Prniries Is
breaking Records.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE eastern half of
the continent has been trayersed by the
Oriental mail. At 10:55 o'clock Tues
train carrying the pouches for San
Francisco. Portland, Hawaii and the
Philippines, drew into Cheyenne, Wyo.
The plans OF the post Office department
to send the mails from coast 10 coast
in 95 hours will, apparently, be realized.
In just two days, counting 25 hours to
a day TO allow for changes in time west
ward, the transcontinental mails have
Travelled 1000 miles--a constant aver
age of 40 miles an hour, including all
stops, transfers ard other delays
The rush OF the rival trains Of the
Burlington and Northwestern roads be-
tween Chicago and Omaha, which end
ed at eight o'clock Tuesday morning,
produced some results startling 10 rail-
road men. Leaving Chicago over half
an hour later than its rival the North
western had reached Omaha in time TO
deliver It's mails TO the same Union Pa
cific train. The Burlington had also
reduced its own running time eight
minutes below the new schedule. And
all this was done in the last division.
Added interest in the second nights
run from Chicago TO Omaha resulted
Tuesday evening from the fact that the
Lake Shore fast mail from the east ar
rived at ten o'clock. one hour and 30
minutes late. IL had been delayed by
a wreck on the New York Central. The
Burlington mail departed on time at
$3.50, not waiting for the belated east
ern mail. but the Northwestern waited
until 10:40 p. IN. before IL departed,
thus securing all the mail from the Lake
Shore train. Northwestern officials
declare their train will reach Omaha at
s:15 a. m, its schedule time, making
up the 40 minutes delay necess.tated
at this end IL 1t does so the results
will be OF the record-breaking variety.
At 1853 a. m. the Northwestern train
whiried past Lowden, Ia, 20 minutes
late, and going at Gs miles al hour
clip. Sixteen minutes had been made
up since the train left Chicago, and
with clear track the officials were
sure Boone would be reached ON tine
$50 miles In as many minutes. Clinton
was reached at 1915 a. IN. To change
engines and crews only took three min
utes. the fastest change ever made on
the road. then away again for Cedar
Rapids, the first 10 miles being made
in 2i minutes
