TRADE AT sTNrIAGo is
STEADILY INCREASING.
Intercourse Extended to Commerce OF All
Nations Greatly Increased the Pros
perlty OF the Province

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6-The trade OF
Santiago is ALREADY Showing a surprising
growth under American administration.
General Wood has submitted report 70
the war department in which he states
that the policy Of non-discriminatlve
intercourse extended to the vessels OF ali
nations in Santiago province has greatly
facilitated the re-establishment OF COM
mercial relations and has been one OF
the chief featurs in the restoration of
comparative prosperity in commerce, in
dustry and agriculture.
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 operation at an
early date after the capitulatiOn OF SAN
tiago was important in that the employ
ment Of large numbers Of natives during
a critical period was stimulated by the
facilities for shipping ores"

ant insisted that the army shouli be di-
vided into two branches, an army for
domestic use. in the United States. which.
he said. did not need to be increased; and
an army OF occupation, which Is tempor-
arily necessary for use outside the United

He said the army OF occupation should
be recruited at once, in order to relieve
the volunteers. but that the term OF ser
vice should be short. because the nations
policy IS not yet settled.
Trrning to the question OF annexation,
Ne insisted that the nation has not set

''The sentiment Of the people upon
any great question must be measured
during days OF deltbe alton and iFot dur
ing hours Of excitement. A good man will
sometimes be engaged in fight, but it is
not reasonable to expect a judicial opin-

committee Of bankers who waited on
General Brooke and asked his concur
renee in the plan for regulating the is

dsdnt Mckinley had nxed the vaiue Of

The bankers and commercial houses
continue divided in their opinions re-
garding the future Of the Spanish ana
French money which Is in circulation.
Importers have obtained enough Ameri-
can money TO pay customs duties for the
present. and no disarrangement OF values
has yet occurred.

The Cubans are divided over propo-

this requires his resignation as an in

While General Brooke proposes giving
