SANTIAGO PROTESTS.
Against Sending Customs Money to
DEMONSTRATION Is Critical.

Against Sending Customs Money to
characterization Is Critical.
Santiago, Jan. Meetings were
held at all the political clubs last night,
and even the most conservative people,
those favoring the annexation of Cuba
to the United States, were astounded
at the orders from Havana for the cen.
tralization Of customs money there.
The past As hours have completely
altered the situation of affairs here.
The province had gradually settled
down, and was contented with the Or
der of things prevailing, recognizing
the benefits conferred. Now there is a
complete change. and there is no eXag-
geration in saying that the situation
is critical. and that spark would set
up blaze which would plunge the
province into insurrectiion.
1t is generally admitted that if l 900
men we've suddenly discharged from
the public works, such action would
probably cause revolt which would
be hard to quell.
Major-General John r. Brooke, gov
ernor-genera of Cuba is apparently ig-
noring General Leonard Wood, in com.
mand here, and is cabling direct to his
suDordinates. He has ordered the coll
lector of customs to bank no money,
and the commanding general of the
province has ordered his officers to
close several minor offices, including
that at Bayamo, practically shutting
off the mail of the regiments there.
DR.. CAST fla will accompany General
Wood to Washington, representing
British interests in Santiago, to lay
these matters before the president.
Woods work here is now more thor.
oughly appreciated by the Cubans.

Vancouver, b. c.. Jan. 7.-Much
talk is heard over the announcement in
the speech from the throne at the OPEN
ing OF the provincial legislature today,
that a bill will be introduced to ex-
clude aliens from taking up or work.
ing placer mining claims within the
province. The Importance OF this is
in no way to be gainsaid, for it will
shut Americans out of the Atlin coun-
try completely, and 1t will preserve
Atlin's riches for British subjects
alone. AT present Canadians are not
allowed to take up mining claims i'll
the United States.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Under a spe-
cial order adopted before the holiday
recess, the house proceeded today to
consideration Of bills presented by the
committee on judiciary. The bills
were first considered in committee of
the whole. The first bill called up
was that to create an additional cir
cult judge in the sixth judicial circuit
The bill was finally laid aside with a
favorable recommendation
Favorable action was also had on "a
similar bill providing an additional
judge for the third judicial district.
The bill was called up providing for
the retirement of Judge Cassius &.
Foster. United States district of Kan
sas, and occasioned some debate.
Foster, Mr.. Broderck explained, had
served "a years on the bench and had
broken down physically, but had not
reached age 90 years., when he can be
legally retired.

New Workers Have Hard Luck.
Seattle. Jan. 7.-William WEIGH,
Frank Rekole and W. Devne. of Port
land, Or, who arrived here today from
the klondike. claim to have broken
the veiland record from Dawson to
Skagway. They left Dawson, Deem
Der l2. and arrived at Skagway, De-
cember 30.
Antoine Grobesits and Albert Ber-
nard, two young men from New York,
met with very hard luck on the way
out. They broke through the ice on
Thirty-Mile river and were in the wa
ter some time. They finally were res
cued and cared for by the police.
Grobesits lost 50, 800 in gold, which
was tied on his sled. He arrived here
today absolutely penniless. His part
ner is at Tagish house in the police
hospital, and will lose both feet as
well as several fingers. Grobesits will
need to have a toe amputated.
The Williams sawmill on the Klon-
dixie river, near Dawson, was totally
destroyed by fire December 10. A
number of horses persisted. The to-
tai loss is estimated at $1,000.
Sulphur creek, which was disap-
pointing last year, is reported to be
showing up well this winter.

WORKS SMOOTHLY.



New York. Jan. ga dispatch TO
the Tribune from Havana SAYS:
American rule in Cuba works smoothly
Generals Brooke and Ludlow are begin
ming the reorganization of the civil adj
ministratIon satisfactorily. The Gu
bans are we'll pleased. Part OF the
Spaniards are sullen. but the CONNER
cial classes are satisfied with the new
regime.
The understanding is that no mem
bers of the former autonomst cabinet
are to be included in General Brooke s
proposed council of advisors. They
are all unpopular, and lack confidence
of both elements.
Civil Governor de Castro. by order
OF the military authorities, has abol-
ished the use of passports and of
stamped paper in the government office.
They were annoyances.
Prompt steps have also been taken
for improving the section OF hygiene.
The chief interest on Monday CEN
tered at the custom-house. Colonel
Bliss was assisted by the treasury eX-
pert, Mr.. Donaldson, VINO will be in
charge at Santiago. The merchants
had prepared for change. Since noon
on Sunday Is vessels had entered the
harbor with cargoes, for discharge nm
der the American tariff. The first
vessel was the Norwegian schooner
Kitty, from Mobile. with general mer-
chandise. A Spanish ship, the Mexi-
co, of Barcelona, arrived in ballast.
Among Mondays arrivals was the Seq
uranca, from New York, with merchan-
disc. American shippers seem to have
improved their opportunities. Some
confusion resulted. as no tariff rates
had been translated into Spanish.
That deficiency will soon be corrected.
The importers had secured American
money with which to pay duties.
The postoffice service for the city and
foreign mail shows improvement. Tho
confusion still is due to inefficient en-
ployes. The decentralization in the
island service cannot be remedied inn
mediatcly. Chief Director Rathburne' 8
first order after taking charge was to
abolish the ranking privilege, which
has been grossly abused.
A mistake made in Washington in
printing . cent stamps for American
correspondence has been remeded by
selling the stamps for two cents.
The police service is being slowly or
ganized. No general disorder exists
Two or three homcides during the last
two days Eare been of the ordinary
kind, and have had no significance.
Cubans and Spaniards are getting along
together pretty WELL Some fears Of
social generalization. of which Ameri.
cans complain. will be corrected when
the police organization is more adj
vanced. The military authorities do
not want to use troops for duty of this

SENT TO THE SENATE
The Peace Treaty Leaves the
Presidents Hands.
CONTENTS NOT MADE PUBLIC
Both Houses Adjourned Soon Out Of
Respect to the Memory of
Senator Morrill,.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The first ses-
sion of the senate after the holidays oc-
cupied only 80 minutes. although in
that brief time two open sessions and
one executive session Were held. The
galleries were HE'D with spectators be-
fore the senate convened, the general
expectation being that the peace treaty
would be presented. The senatorial
members of the peace commission APP
peared on the floor and were given a
hearty greeting by their colleagues.
In the absence of the c-president,
Frye of Maine. the president pro tenn,
called the senate to order. The chap
lain in his invocation said:
1--WE come together under a sense of
bereavement by the absence OF the
senior senator from Vermont. whose
wise counsel and loving presence shall
no more enrich the proceedings of the
chamber. We bless thee, o Lord, for
his noble life, for his example to all
men, and we pray that his spirit may
ever abide within these walls. "
Scarcely had the clerk begun to read
the journal of the last session of the
senate when Davis moved that the fur
ther reading be dispensed with. The
motion prevailed.
FRYE, who was in the chair, immedi-
ately recognized Major Pruden, secre-
tary to the president, who held mes
sage from the president of the United
States. The message contained the
treaty of Paris. On motion of Davis
the senate then went into executive
session, in order that the treaty might
be referred to the committee on fore On
relations In few minutes the sem
ate reconvened in open session, and
Allison an nounced the death of Senator
Morrill,. The usual resolutions were
adopted, and as a mark of respect the
senate adjourned until tomorrow.
The house spent today considering
the bill to define and punish crimes in
Alaska, and provide code Of criminal
procedure for the territory. Sixty
seven pages We're com pleted today, and
the bill was made continuing order
until disposed of, not, however, to in
terfere with appropriation bills or
other special orders. The house adj
journed out OF respect to the memory
of the late Senator Morrill,.

Attorney General.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Assistant Sec
rotary Howell, of the treasury depart
ment, has under consideration the cases
of several Chinese laborers and others
seeking admission to Hawaii. Under
the Hawaiian laws they were allowed
to visit their native country and return
upon complying with certain conditions
as to registration, etc. before leaving.
When the exclusion laws of the United
States with respect to Chinese were
applied to Hawaii, the question of the
status of those who had left the islands
was Immediately presented to the treas
ury, the inspector, Mr.. Brown, hold
ing that they were debarred. The Ha-
waiian supreme court, however, has
held that they we've entitled to land,
and the question has been referred to
Attorney-General Griggs for an opin-
ion. About 500 Chinese will be de-
barred if the inspectors decision is sus-
tanned
