SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. % THE
order from the United States military
authorities in Havana directing the
authorities of the Santiago military
department not to spend cent of the
customs receipts without the permis.
sion of the governor-general, and che
order directing that hereafter the bulk
of sanitary work shall be done without
money pay and for rations merely, we're
given to the local press for publication
yesterday, though received here last
Thursday.
Ell Cubano, in commenting upon the
instructions of the governor-geueral,
says: 1.-THE feeling Is prevalent that
the only course now is to retire to the
mountains"
This, of course, is an exaggeration,
although the fact is that thore are
people who make just such threats.
As showing how far the province has
drifted backward since tine first an
nouncement that the customs were not
to be freely expended for provisional
improvement Is, the Santiago Herald
reports that band of men are commit
ting wholesale depredations IN the
Mayari district, where several people
have been murdered, and that another
in the Guantanamo district have
burned all the cane prepared for pres
sing on the Isabel plantation. "These
outbreaks" says the Reraldo, "are the
first fruits of the money Capitalization
system"
AS yet the Mayari report has not
been verified, and Mr.. Brooke, owner
of the Isabel plantation, who arrived
yesterday, says that the burning on the
plantation must have been done since
he left, as the cane there was intact
when he started for Santiago. lie
does not accept the report absolutely,
but says that the adjoining plantation,
the property of Senior Bueno, was
fired at four different points, the entire
crop being destroyed.
The Independencia concludes an
editorial with a defiant declaration:
''If necessary the Cubans will know
how to act"

Cullom has been informed that during
1899 all federal contracts for Indian
supplies will be placed in Chicago.
The bureau of Indian affairs, how
ever, is handicapped in its purchA&es
in Chicago because of the absence of
an Indian warehouse. After a thor
ough Investigation by. Commissioner
Jones it has been found that the gov
ernment could save $1,000 a year in
transportation of cargoes alone If the
letting of contracts for Indian sup
plies were confined to Chicago.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The senate
yesterday passed the Nicaragua cana
bill. A number of amendments were
made to the Nicaragua bill, and there
| were innumerable short speeches dur.
ing the day. There was however.no op.
position to = vote when the time came.

votes in opposition to final passage.
The Nicaraguan canal bill, as it

OUR INTERESTS
ARE IDENTICAL
America and England Can
Agree on the Canal
Matter.

New YORK, Jan. 23.-The Tribune's
London correspondent writes: The
Nicaragua canal question has been
taken up by Secretary Hay and Lord
Salisbury in practical rather than q
controversial way. 1t is not believed
that either of these statesmen Is anx-
ious to attempt to unravel the tangled
skin of diplomacy with which the Clay
tou-Bulwer treaty has been enmeshei
in the course of SO years. They will
prefer to make fresh start in spirit
of mutual accommodation and good feel
ing.
The practical business now in hand
is that of adapting the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty to new conditions affecting the
interests of both countries. The COM
merciai interests of the world and the
highest ends of civilization will be
promoted by the construction of
waterway through Central America.
One country may be more directly in.
terested than the other in the COM
pletion and control of the inter-oca-
anic canal. but both England and
America will benefit commercially by
the opening of the waterway, and
neither can have any adequate motive
for hampering or retarding a great
work which will contribute to the
progress and civilization of the world.
On this high ground the two govern
ments can meet and devise practical
measures for facilitating the construc-
tiou of the canal and providing for its
control and maintenance as neutral
waterway open at all times to the ship
ping and navies of all nations. This
is a policy which they are now endeav-
orIng to carry out in an enlie ehtened
and progressive spirit worthy of the
genius of the Anglo-Saxon race.

To Bring Back Dead Heroes.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Jan. 22.-Word was

plies for that purpose, the Roumanian

for removal on the transport to this
country.

consideration of the Haines bill to

Smith noted several deficiencies ap-
parent on the face of the bill, among
which were failure to specify the limit
to the rate of interest for new war.

ONLY AN ADVISORY COUNCIL.
Commission About to start for the Phil

ipp:ne Islands.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ,22.-Secretary
Hay has had what probably will be the
final confera nee with the members oi
the Philippine commission and
gave them full Instructions on every
point that is likely to arise.
It was stated that Professors Schur-
man and Worcester would leave
Washington next Tuesday and that
Mr.. DENLY would follow to Manila at
the conclusion of his duties with the
war Investigating commission.
1t is learned beyond question that
the commission will have no executive
powers; it win be an ADVISORY council
in the full sense Of the term, although
two of the members, Admiral Dewey
and General Otis. may carry out
policies laid down by the commission
in their own single executive capacity
as military and naval commanders.
There appears to be confidence en-.
tertained at the war department. that
the status quo can be maintained in
the Philippines until the arrival of
this commission, belief probably
based on the character of the instruc-
tien given to General Otis.

Gently issued an appeal asking Offend
Ing druggists not to sell her boy NOR

trict attorney has not taken action in
the matter for the reason that Repre-
tentative Kaylers bill failed to become

ers feared that 1t would interfere with
the sale of medicines which contains
morphine in order to induce sleep. This
Is the reason that Mayor Geise urged

Since the druggists here have refused

their friends and druggists In other
places for morphine, and in this way
ZONE have secured 1t. Several opium

entered upon the horse-stealing BUSH
ness with a vim that terrorized the
horse-owners of that section. He
would be arrested, sentenced % prison.
released, and then he would again take
up his unlawful calling. During the
civil war the old man did a paying
business. He travelled over the state.
but his work was done principally in
western Pennsylvania. He would steal
horses and sell them readily at good
prices to purchasers for the United
States army. Ohio. West Virginia and
Maryland were drawn on heavily. He
says that ever since he stole the first
animal he has never been able to re-
sist taking a good horse when the
opportunity was presented. For the
past few years the old man has at
tempted to live an upright life. A few
days ago he had occasion to go to
Indiana county. and, according to his
story, he was passing the farm Of John
Wilson. A fine morse was grazing on
the hillside. and the impulse to steal
again mastered him. That night the
fine horse was missing. as was the old
man. Constable Muf1y Of Bell town
ship followed the trail and the other
evening Zimmerman and the horse
were overtaken at Ohiopyle. The pris-
oner was taken to tine Uniontown jail
and later was brought here. thinner
man wants it known that he never
stole anything save horses, and that
he never filched an animal from a
widow. nor from a man who was less
able to lose the price of the Morse
than he.

MAN WHO DEFENDED oulrEAu.

A Morose. Unapproachable Hermit, Liv-
Ing Alone In q Secluded Spot.
From the Emporia Gazette: A party
of Indiana fishermen. just returned
from trip among the remote and I'M
frequented lakes of northern Indiana,
ran across a little cabin occupied by
Attorney Scovill, the lawyer who de-
fenced c. ]. Guiteau in his trial for the
assassination of President Garfield.
The humble cottage in which Scovill
was found is situated near the banks
Of Mud lake, where he lives the life of
the most rigid recluse, neither seeing
nor being seen. His simple wants are
supplied by the merchants Of the near
est town. He puts in his time, nobody
knows how, as his unkempt and un-
couth figure Is seldom seen outside the
walks of the little low cottage, half
hidden by the growth Of twining vines
and underbrush. From an able, affable
and influential barrister, Scovill has
grown into taciturn. morose. unap-
proachable hermit, desiring no COM
munication with the world in which he
was such conspicuous figure as only
counsel for his relative eighteen years
ago. scovill feels that he is still
shunned and despised by everybody for
his part in trying to save the neck Of
Guiteau ON the ground of hereditary
insanity, though he contends that he
did nothing more than his duty. The
loss Of his wife and other misfortunes
that seemed to pursue him with re-
lentless hand added to his melancholy
and confirmed him in his determine
ton to abandon the world and spend
the remainder of his days in seclusion.
For several years Scovill has led the
life Of hermit. spending his time at
the most secluded spots he could ind.
He still contends that Guiteau was
mentally irresponsible for his act in
killing the president, and points to the
record of the family, number Of
whom have both before and since the
tragedy been confined in madhouses.
