SANTIAGO PROTESTS
Against Sending Her Revenues to
Havana

Santiago, Jan. 3.-An order has been
received from Havana, which, If en-
forced, will mean, in the judgment Of
the commercial classes here, serious in
jury to the province. This Is direction
to transmit the entire customs receipts
each week to Havana Compliance with
instructions would involve the abandon
ment of many necessary public improve
ments, especially In the matter of roads
and waterworks.
Since American occupation began
these funds have been used for such
purposes and have been the principal
means of meeting the necessary expen-
ditures. 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 7. Mason, British consul
at Santiago, says it was Spains prac-
tice of monetary Capitalization which
caused most of her troubles in Cuba
General Leonard Wood, United States
military governor of the department, on
being asked to express an opinion re-
specting the order, declined to be inter-
offering any criticism of the policy
which dictates to him, he has shown
his annoyance at the possibility of a,
stop being put to the good work that is
being done in the province. The local
taxation fund is barely sufficient to
meet the expenses of the city. There
is nothing over for important improve
ments, and the customs receipts are
considered by competent judges to be
absolutely necessary for the successful
management of the province. Popular
excitement over the order is growing
among all classes. The chamber of
commerce, the Sons of Veterans, the
supreme court and the San Carlos club
have called meeting to take action and
each organization will cable to Wash
ington an earnest protest against what
is described as the suicidal policy of
centralizing money at Havana"

ported. This year we export nearly six
times as much of these products as We
import.
This is sort of expansion in which
every one of US may rejoice, without
any conceivable question of its whole
somenesS to the nation.
The railroad construction for 1898 ex-
ceeded that of any other year since 1892,
when the mileage was 4192.
In 1898, 3,01S miles We're constructed
as against 1850 in 1897, 1,848 in 1885,
1903 in 1895, 1,949 in 1894 and 2,635 in
1893
This is remarkable evidence of a
healthy, progressive spirit. The new
mileage was not speculative. for spec
ulators have been in the background.
The track that was laid in 1898 was in
response to a natural and imperative
demand and indicates steady develop
ment of trade.
1t is significant that nearly one-half
of the total construction was in the
south and southwest, while the Pacific
coast added 430 miles.
The south and west are moving stead
lily forward in the work of development.
Their resources are being brought near
er to the centers of demand with every
mile of railroad built, and according to
managers and contractors the outlook
for future construction is better than
for ten years.

AT SAN DIEGO.
Santa Fo Improving It's Wharf for
Steamship Traffic.

San Diego, Jan. 3-This morning a
gang of carpenters commenced work on
that part of the Santa Fe wharf at San
Diego which at present Is occupied by
the street car tracks.
The switches running along California
street are nearly completed and the big
warehouse on the wharf is ready for
the covering of corrugated iron which
is coming from the East and is daily
expected. The large railroad scales now
at the Santa Fe depot, which have a
capacity of $4,000 pounds, will be set up
out on the wharf, where they will be
used for weighing the vessels freight.
San Diego merchants are most anxious
ly awaiting the arrival of the Belgian
King, the first vessel of the California
and Oriental Steamship company, which
will arrive about Jan. 20. The Santa
Fe will give a bond of $250,00O to the
government as a guarantee for the
rapid handling and forwarding OF i'm
mediate freight.

Icenen Cutting IL Inch Ice at
Atchison.

Ottawa, Jan. 3.-There is a revival of
the agitation for county ownership of
bloodhounds. It has been most salts
factorily demonstrated that trailers OF
this character are of great value to the
constabulary; whenever they are used
the most satisfactory results are had.
The chief objection, or obstacle in the
way, has been the high price at which
good dogs could be purchased, but this
difficulty has been removed. Sheriff
Church has had correspondence on the
subject and says that he can now pro-
cure a pair Of year old dogs for not to
exceed $40.
1t has been suggested that a portion
of the surplus in the treasury of the
Anti-Horse Thief association might be
applied to this purpose. 1t certainly
would not be a misapplication of funds
as this money was collected with the
very object of apprehending criminals
and will probably be used.
