a SPLENDiD REPoRT
As to Gls Confederate Memorial Association,
Broughtby Col. While.
[From the wheellng Register.l


Col. Robert White returned yesterday
from Charleston, S. c., where he has been
in attendance upon the sessions of the
Confederate veterans, held in that city.
Col. White is Major General commanding
the West Virginia division, and has been
very prominent in the general work of
the organization. He is also chairman
of the Executive Committee of the Board
having charge of the Confederate Memo
rial Institute proposed to be erected
at Richmond, Va, by the Confederate
veterans and others. and as such has a
very intimate association with the work
in hand.
Col. White was seen yesterday, and
said:
"Our report as to the Memorial In
stitute was most enthusiastically received,
and was endorsed and adopted. The
general situation is about this The Board
is chartered, and consists of one member
from each Division. When the project
was first broached. Mr.. Charles Broad
way Rouss. of New York City, offered to
the United Confederate Veterans that as
soon as the sum of 500, 600 had been
contributed he would make a personal
contribution of 800, 600 towards the
erection of the Memorial. We reported
that there was now on hand, in the
shape of cash in bank, $50, 900, and that
Mr.. Rouss had authorized us to draw
upon him for $50, 900, the first Install
ment of his contribution, and had further
agreed to pay an additional $4,000 for
every $4,000 contributed, until the full
sum had been made up.
THE Ladies Memorial Society at
Richmond have also offered to convey
the old White House of the Confederacy,
with the large number of relics and
other property therein contained, to the
cause, and this will be the site of tho
Memorial. 1t is hoped that before many
months have elapsed the full amount of
money will be available, when the build
ing will be laid with suitable ceremonies. :"

ADMIRAL DEWEY ANXIOUS.
Again Appeals to the Government
to Send Small Gunboets

WASHINGTON, March Admiral Dewey
is again pressing on the navy department the
urgent need of vessels of light draught as a
means of communication among the numerous
small islands of the Philippine group. To this
end the gunboat Vixen, which figured brayely
for vessel Of her light caliber at the
outset Of the Cuban campaign, has been or
dered to be Immediately fitted out at the Nor
folk navy yard for sailing for Manila This
Will take about month, and 1t probably will
be three or four months before she Joins
Dewey's fleet.
Besides the Concord, which is perhaps a lit
tie too large to be classified as one of the
small craft, the only light vessels now IN the
philippines available for running about those
waters are the Petrol and the Helena. The
Castine' and Princeton, however, are now
speeding in that direction, but the small craft
equipment there will still be inadequate.
The department is anxious to afford Ad-
mlral Dewey all the assistance possible. He
has repeatedly called attention to the great
Importance of this work, and has emphasized
the fact that 1t is the light vessels. fit to
skirmish about in the shallow waters and to
run in and out of harbors where the larger
ones would be useless, that he wants rather
than the heavier types.

where valor has written so many Of the
heroic pages of history, and which, like q
fair shining beacon light, has so we'll illu-
minated the world l am profoundly grateful
to those kind friends in the land of my birth
who have at this period of my life 30 warm
ly remembered me. Nor can / fail to speak
with pride of those American citizens of Ger
man blood, who hold their rank among the
best Of our people by their industry, their
civic virtues, their conservatism and their
never-failing patriotism, which has drenched
every American battlefield with Teutonic
blood.
1t may be said of them that however warm
their affection for their native land, they have
never permitted that affection to interfere
with their duty as American citizens, and
least Of ALL to induce them to any design or
desire to use their power in American politics
to foreign ends.
The service they are doing this republic
will not be the least valuable that their pres
ence on our soil helps to preserve that peace
and friendship between the two nations which
happily has always existed, to the benefit and
honor Of both. and which of late such wicked
attempts have been made to disturb, with
out cause. May that peace and friendship
endure forever.
FAITH IN DEMOCRACY.
And now. last word, which may be fitting
ly uttered on an occasion like this. l have
reached an age that may speak from expe-
rience, and from the experience of my long
public activity 1 will give you the best. If
there Is any man among us who has lost
falth In democratic government, In what
Abraham Lincoln called government for the
people, Of the people and by the people,
am not that man.
You will look in vain for a people that have
achieved as much Of freedom, Of progress of
webbing and happiness as the American peo-
pie have under their institutions of demo-
cratic government

TROUBLE in SANTIAGO /
CUTTING DOWN OF APPROPRIA-
TIONs FOR PUBLIC WORKS
CAUSES APPREHENSION
DISORDER BEING FOMENTED
Regiment of Immunes Ordered Into
the City and Preparations Made
to Check the Threatened Upris-
fng-Disaffected Cubans Talk of
an Attempt to Retake the Prov
1nce.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March "A
climax has been reached in affairs at
Santiago. The estimates for February
have been reduced from $4,000 to $780,
600, and amounts aggregating $80,000
extended last month have been disal-
lowed by the authorities at Havana.
Gen. Leonard Wood, military cover
nor, says it is impossible to estimate
exactly month ahead, and thinks the
best plan would be to forward certain
percentage to Havana every month,
the department commander having the
privilege of using the balance subject
to objections later, as under the pres
ent system it Is impossible to run the
government here. For the month OF
March all expenditures for the entire
province must be kept within $4,000.
DISORDER THREATENED.
Even those Cubans who are most
friendly to the United States author
tiles say this amount is less than was
allowed at any time under the Spanish
regime. III the opinion Of others the
object of the restriction is to discredit
the work already done here by throw
ing out Of employment large number
of men and creating discomfort and
disturbance.
This is, perhaps, erroneous, but the
fact Is that tomorrow more than 700
men will be out Of work, a circum-
stance generally recognized as a dan
gerous menace to public safety at just
this juncture, and involving a large
additional police force. Some mer-
chants say 1t will necessitate the pres
ence of additional regiments, even if
an insurrection does not finally re-
suit
Many Cuban politicians who have not
received appointm ents will, 1t is feared
use the occurrence to inflame the minds
of the employees. The outcome Is diff
cult to forecast.
FOMENTING TROUBLE.
1t is significant, however, that the
Cuban extremists, who talk openly
against American rule, go about ex-
planning how 5000 of their men, proper
ly armed. could now gain possession Of
the province of Santiago in two days
if the plan was properly arranged be-
forehand. The men who indulge in this
sort of buster are mere nobodies, but
Tile IdCI lIidC dIy UOOy Will llSten TO
| them indicates the general discomfort
born of these vexatious instructions
from Havana.
Even the Americans cannot compre-
hend what Havana hopes to achieve
by bringing about practical cessation
Of all public works in the largest prov
inee Of Cuba, asprovince really need
ing more in this line than any other.
The air of anxiety obvious in all the
departments shows the apprehensions
entertained Of what must follow pub
lie announcement of the fact that all
public works must cease.
AS a straw showing the way the wind
is blowing, company Of the Ninth
immune regiment has been ordered
into the city. This move is probably
connected with the expected trouble
