United States military authorities in
Havana have cabled the Santiago de-
partinent an order directing that not IA

The order also directs thar the great-
er part Of the sanitary work performed

The directions regarding the customs
funds have not yet been made gen
orally known. As most people. relying
upon recent dispatch from DIR. Joa-
quln Castillo. now in Washington, have
regarded this point as definitely set
tied In favor Of Santiago. II has been
considered advisable thus far not to
allow the order in question to become
public. lest there he renewal of the
popular excitement provoked by the Is
suance OF the original order for the

be a confidence entertained AT the War

probably based on the character OF the
