Havana, January 22.-All the ex-
penses of the island for January, pro-
vincial and municipal, will be met out
of the customs receipts. There will be
no attempt to collect other taxes to
meet the first months pay roll. 1t is
possible that the expenses for February
'@will be provided for in the same way.
Until the a system has been re-
vised the civil salary list will be met
o t of the customs, which will be ample
for this purpose, as no new public
works will be begun until the revision
is completed. The military administra
ton now has cash in hand to the
amount of 5000, 000-at Havana, $685.
900; at Santiago, $3.50, 90; at Cienfue-
COS, $25, 1000; at Matanzas, $50, 900, and
at eleven minor ports, $20,O 900. These
amounts will be increased 25 per cent.
by the end of the month.
The large sums necessary for sewerage
in Havana could not properly be made
a charge upon the island revenues.
Major General Ludlow, governor Of the
military department of Havana, is pre-
pairing to suggest to Washington a mu-
nicipal bond plan to raise $4,000, 900 or
so. Havana now has an Indebtedness,
bonded and floating, of s12, SOC, 900 and
can bear much more.
If President Mckinley decides not to
utilize the services of the bank Of
Spain as a government fiscal agent for
the island there will be established in
each province a fiscal government Office,
replacing the banks branch offices.
This arrangement could be carried out
in two weeks. The military authorities
are awaiting a reply from Washington
to their taxation recommendations last
week before taking any steps. 1t is in
the plants of General Brooke to abolish
many of the existing taxes, as after a
close examination Of them he has come
to the conclusion hat they are undesir-
able and burdensome.
If General Leonard Wood, governor
obtains permission for the in
obtains permission for the in
dependent use Of the customs receipts
in that department it is believed here
that all the other departments will de-
mand a similar concession with the re-
suit that general Reorganization will
follow.

The daily exchanges are crying out
ali about the state for different cars
for the races. The Raleigh News and
Observer says:
ST have been surprised at the delay
in passing the law requiring separate
cars for the races" said a leading cot
ton mill manufacturer yesterday. 1.-THE
demand for it is so universal that I
thought it would have passed both
houses the first week. AS it has not
yet been done, I hope that the bill will
be made also to require separate wait
ing rooms. They are needed even more
than separate cars"

NInster of the situation.

In the days of slavery Abram was a
great favorite with his master, whom
he had served as valet from his youth.
At his masters death his mistress
granted him many privileges, and at
the period of emancipation he resisted
every temptation to leave the old plan
tation. In the exercise of his privileges
he became obnoxious to the other ne
groes, and their frequent complaints ex-
cited remonstrance on the part of his
mistress. But Abram pursued his own
way in spite of expcstulation. Finally
his interference with her own plans ex-
hausted the patience of his mistress,
who determined to dismiss him.
"Abram, said she one day to him
in a very kindly tone, 81 see that you
and cannot live in peace on the same
place, and / have decided that we must
par" But before she concluded her
remarks Abram exclaimed:

Glass Proud Sporting Writers.

OF all class proud writers here and
elsewhere. those who chronicle and conf
ment upon sporting events are probably
the most ultra. Writers of nearly every
other class long yearningly to get out of
the grind" into magazine and weekly
work, but the writer on prizehshts, horse
races, baseball matches and the like is
more than satisfied as a rule to continue
writing for the daily press on those topics
and with rare exceptions never does any
thing else.
It is different with the writer's on
Yachting, football, golf, tennis and the
like. Their work naturally leads to the
periodicals eventually somehow, and they
are not considered exactly in the light of
"sporting reporters" in the offices Of the
dailies to which they contribute. And,
curiously enough, there is often well de-
veloped class antipathy between the
Irregular" sporting writers and those who
deal with the sports of what is termed
the upper ten."
