CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
Not Cent to be Expended at Santiago
Without Gen. Brooke's Consent.

Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 19-The Unit
ed States military authorities in HAY
ana have cabled the department of
Santiago, on order directing that not a
cent of the customs receipts of the de-
partment is to be expended without the
permission of Gov. Gen. Brooke. The
order also directs that the greater part
of the sanitary work performed shall
be done without money pay, and for
rations merely.
The directions regarding the customs
funds have not yet been generally
made known. AS most people relying
upon recent dispatch from DR.. Joa-
quin Castillo, now in Washington, have
regarded this point as definitely set
tied in favor of Santiago, 1t has been
considered advisable thus far not to
allow the order in question to become
public, lest there be a revival of the
popular excitement provoked by the is
suance Of the original order for the Gus
toms at Havana.
Intelligent Cubans, who are in DOS
session Of the facts, are greatly wor-
ried over the situation, as are also the
Americans; for these and other recent
orders virtually reduce the military

CUBAN COMMISSION.
1t is Dissolved and Report Has Been Sub
mitted to Proper Officials.

Washington, Jan. 19.--The Cuban
evacuation commission was dissolved
today, and its members submitted to
the president, the secretary of state and
the secretary Of war report on their
labors. The report makes no reference
to the future government of the ISL
ands, and embodied no political rec
concentrations whatsoever, consisting
practically of a record of its proceed
ings, with the voluminous correspond
ence passing mainly between it, the
Spanish commission and the adminis-
tration at Washington.
The commissions session was purely
formal. The papers 1t submits as its
record and report were finally passed
on, and the signatures Of the commits
sion were affixed. With everything in
complete shape and the papers signed,
the commissions work was closed, and
1t adjourned sine die.
The commission at noon made it's for
NAL call on Secretary Of State Hay and
submitted to him the original report
of it's proceedings, together with nu-
merous exhibits, plans OF forts in Ha-
vana harbor and other matters Of i'm
portance.
The commission then repaired to the
war department and submitted to Sec
rotary Alger duplicate Of the proceed
ings, accompanied with valuable
Spanish military maps of Cuba. These
papers included an elaborate Spanish
chart Of the American navy with vol
luminous data and drawings of Ameri-
can ships Of our navy.
At 1890 o'clock the commissioners
were received by the president. After
an informal chat, Gen. Wade submit
ted to the president their formal report.
The president said: Gentlemen, l
must thank you for the great service
you have rendered your country. / am
more than pleased with this work"
He greeted each one personally, shak-
ing hands with each as he took final
leave.
Among the papers left with the pres
ident was letter paying tribute to the
service Of Brigadier General Clous, the
secretary, commencing him very heart
lily for his remarkable familiar
ity with international and mu-
nicipal law and his invalua-
BILE information and knowledge"
For the present the report is not to
be made public. It's PRONUNCIATION is
left to the discretion Of the president
and departments, who will send it to
congress probably, and then 1t will be

NEWS CONFIRMED.
Dispatches from Consul Osborne Re.
ceived--Warships Going to Samoa.

Dispatches from Consul Osborne Re-
ceived--Warships Going TO Samoa.
Washington, Jan. 19.-It was stated
at the department Of state today that
dispatches had been received from Uni
ted States Consul Osborne at Apia, but
as to their nature the officials had
nothing to say beyond that they went
to confirm the news dispatches printed
this morning.
The navy department has prepared
orders for the cruiser Philadelphia to
proceed to Samoa at once to represent
the United States interests there. 1t
was stated that Admiral Kautz, the
commander rf the Pacific station,
would proceed % Samoa on his flag
ship, the Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, If any vessel more quick
ly available can be found, one of
Dewey's fleet, for instance, it will be
ordered at once to Samoa to answer the
urgent appeal of the United States con-
sui. The commander of the Philadel-
phia will act in conformity with the
instructions of the United States con-
sui SO far as those instructions are in
line with the treaty of Berlin, which
the United States contends must be
literally enforced until amended. 1t
would take the Philadelphia about 16
days to make the run from San Diego
to Apia, touching at Honololu for
coal
One resource open to the navy de-
partment is to send the Oregon to Sa-
moa. She left Callao on the 18th inst,
and should reach Honolulu about Feb.
6. where she can be intercepted with
orders sent by the dispatch boat Iro-
quois, now at San Francisco.
Negotiations have been on foot for
some time in relation to the succession
to the Samoan throne, and it is calcu-
lated to lead to ill feeling, at least, that
the German officials should resort to
coup d'etat at this stage OF the nego-
tiations. 1t is believed that much Of
the responsibility of this arbitrary ae-
ton must rest upon Rafael, the Ger
man president of the municipal coun-
Gil at Apia, whose troublesome atti-
tude of late has led to remonstrance on
the part of the other powers. There
has been an understanding that he was
to be removed to another scene of ac-
tivity and the supposition is that, get
ting wind of this intention, he has pre-
cipitated a crisis before his government
could reach him with orders.
The interests of the United States
are in the hands of Luther w. Osborn,
in whose discretion the state depart
ment reposes great confidence.

sued tomorrow as to the purposes of

ippines, the scope of the Investigation
and the general conduct of the work in

Canton,O., Jan. 19.-The grand jury to-
day returned true bill against Mrs.
Annie e. George for numbering George

kinley, last October. The Indictment is
for first degree, and the penalty on
conviction is death by electrocution.
AT the coroner's inquest it developed
that no one saw the shooting, but cir
cumstantial evidence indicated that on
the night of October Saxton was
shot as he was about to enter the res
1dence of Mrs. Eva a. Althouse. a
widow. Five shots were fired, three
taking effect. Saxton died before a
physician could reach him. According
10 current report. Saxton had sought to
END his relations with Mrs George.
Ihere were circumstances to justify the
arrest of Mrs. George on suspicion. Ar
terward evidence was secured before
the coroner showing that Saxton had
not only ended his association with
MRS. George, but had also attempted to
eject her from the rooms she occupied
In the Saxton block. Witnesses testi-
ned to threats that Mrs. George had
made because, as she charged, Saxton
had deserted her after he had paid the
expenses OF MRS. George in getting q
divorce. Witnesses also testified of
Mrs. Georges securing a revolver and
being seen leaving street car near
the Althouse residence, shortly before
the shooting was heard AS Mrs. Ait

was even conjectured that Mrs. George
had sent the victim decoy letter. ask

ADMIRAL KAUTZ TALKS.
He Says the Philadelphia Was in No Con-
dition for Trip to Samoa.

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 19.-Admiral
Kautz landed today at Coronado from
the Philadelphia, and was shown the
dispatch stating that his vessel would
be ordered to Samoa. He said no such
orders had yet reached him, and that it
would be doubtful if the vessel would
be sent on so long a voyage. in view of
her present condition, which he would
make known to the department He
said her bottom was foul and needed
cleaning and repairing badly, as the
speed or the ship was reduced at least
two knots thereby The vessel would
have to go first to the dry dock at San
Francisco
Under no consideration, said Adj
miral Kautz, "can / get away from here
under weeks time for Samoa, but if
we must, | will leave on orders for San
francisco in day or two. If another
ship is secured, we will probably re-
main here week before going north"
Speaking of the trip up, Admiral Kautz
said the most important item of news
he had learned was the universal de-
sire of the people of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica that the United States gov
eminent take hold of and construct
quickly the Nicaragua canal under gov
eminent control. &

SoUDAN PROVINCES.
Future Government to be Under British
and KhedivaI Governments.

Cairo, Jan. 19.-The official gazette
today publishes a convention between
Great Britain and Egypt relating to the
future government of the reconquered
Soudan provinces.
After reciting that the provinces were
reconquered by the joint military and
financial efforts Of the British and
khedival governments and setting
forth the desire to give effect to the
claims that have accrued to her Bri-
fannie majesty's government by right
of conquest, and pointing out that the
territories Of Wady Halfa and Suakin
may be most effectively administered
in conjunction with the reconquered
provinces, the convention proceeds as
follows:
1T is hereby agreed and declared be-
tween the undersigned duly authorized,
that the word Soudan in this agreement
means all territory south of the 22d
parallel Of latitude, which have never
been evacuated by the Egyptian troops
since 1882, or which, having been ad-
ministered by the khedive's govern
ment prior to the late rebellion, were
temporarily lost to Egypt and have
been reconQuered by the British and
Egyptian governments, acting in con-
cert, or which may hereafter be recon
quered by the two governments, acting
in concert.
The British and Egyptian flags shall
be used together on both land and
water throughout the Soudan, except
in Suakin, where the Egyptian flag
alone shall be used. The supreme mill
tary and civil command in the Soudan
shall be vested in one office, termed the
governor general, appointed by khedi-
val decree, with the consent of Great
Britain, and to be removed only by
khedival decree, with the consent Of
Great Britain"
Regarding the conditions under
which Europeans shall be permitted to
trade, reside or hold property in the
Soudan, the convention says
No special privileges shall be ac-
corded the subjects of any one or more
powers"
The convention provides that the
jurisdiction of the mixed tribunals
shall apply to no part of the Soudan
except Suakin, and the whole Soudan
snail remain under martial law until
the governor general proclaims other
wise. The importation or expectation
of slaves Is absolutely prohibited, and
special attention is to be paid to the
enforcement of the Brussels act of
July 2. 1890, in respect to the importa-
ton, sale and manufacture of fire.
arms, munitions and distilled or spirit
uous liquors. The convention, which is
dated at Cairo, Jan. IS, 1899, is signed
by the khedival minister of foreign
affairs, Boutro Pasha s5hali, and by
Lord Cromer
