STRONG PROTEST MADE.

Proposed Policy Branded ~ . Revival 81
Spanish Customs.
SANTIAGO, Jan. "A mass meeting
was was held in the plaza. attended by
5000 persons, and energetic speeches
were made against the policy of central.
izing money at Havana.
Most of the speakers declared that the
principle which it was now proposed to
put into effect again had been fought
against by them for 80 years. All were
exceedingly eulogistic in their refer
ences to General Wood, imploring him
to use his influence with the Washing
ton government against a revival of one
of the worst features of the Spanish
regime.
General Wood expresses the emphatic
opinion that all customs receipts should
be expended in the respective provinces
in which they are taken with the ex-
ception of such percentage for Havana
as may be necessary for governmental
expenditures, geological surveys and
other features of public business of that
chacter.

General Wood Starts for Wash
ington to See the Presi-
dent About It.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The objection
of the citizens of Santiago to the execu.
ton of the war departments programme
requiring the customs collections at that
port and at all other Cuban ports to be
sent to Havana has brought the war de-
partment face to face with another of
the many problems connected with the
administration Of affairs in Cuba that
require speedy settlement. The order is
felt to be absolutely necessary, the in
terests of good government requiring
that there should be but one RESP onsible
head to the customs service in Cuba. It
was pointed out at the war department
that if Santiago. at one end of the ISL
and, and Havana, near the other, were
allowed to
Keep Their Customs Receipts
such provinces as Puerto Principe and
Pinar del Rio would be without funds
to make any public Improvements. The
officials are disposed to allow each Of the
military commanders of the seven de-
partments into which Cuba is now d.
vided to submit acquisitions based upon
estimates of cost of such public works,
as sanitation, harbor Improvements and
road and bridge buildingas it is deemed
advisable to undertake. The cabinet,
which General Brooke is about to call
to his assistance in the administration Of
the island. probably will examine into
these necessities and propose an allot-
ment of the total customs collected and
internsl revenue taxation in proportion
to the needs Of the communities and in
accordance with the principles of JUS
tice and good government.
