Santiago De Cuba, January 5.-The
explanation of the War Department at
Washington of its intentions regarding
the transfer of customs receipts from
different ports in Cuba to Havana is
met here by statements by Cubans that
the plan is similar to one adopted by
the Spaniards when acquisitions on
Havana obtained less than six per cent
of what the requisition called for. The
merchants, business men and infuen-
tial people here say Havana has grown
rich and prosperous at the expense of
the rest of the island and the Cubans
and governmental officials at Santiago
say the Cubans of Havana are respons-
ible for Major General Brooke's order
on this subject. The people here add
that the Havana Cubans are still anx-
ious to maintain the same system of
the Capitalization of funds that was in
force before the American occupa-
ton.
DR.. Castillo and Mayor Bacardi have
proved true in this C. sis and have
urged the citizens to remain peaceful
while awaiting the results of the Aisit
of Gen. Wood and DR.. Castillo to
Washington.
Gen. Wood, accompanied by his aide
de-camp, Lieut. Hanna and Dr. Castillo,
representing the merchants and bust
ness men of this city, left here for New
York to-day on board the United States
transport Mississippi. They were ac-
corded an enthusiastic ovation on their
departure from the palace and during
their passage down Marina street to
the wharf. The municipal band pre-
coded Gen. Wood. who was accompa-
MED by the Mayor and his staff, and
large numbers of officers and Cubans,
who walked the entire distance amid
continuous applause and cheers for
Gen. Wood. The latter was deeply
moved. There were between 5000 and

the women wept and wished the Gen
eral bon voyage. Cuban gratitude was
never more clearly expressed. Men
who few weeks ago were antagonistic
to the American commander were to-
day his most enthusiastic supporters.
The members of the Supreme Court
and the band of the Fifth regular in
fantry were on board the auxiliary gun
boat Hist. which saluted the Missis-
sippi.
The Mississippi was brilliantly
decorated, was also saluted by the
Punta Gorda batteries.
Though the situation is critical it is
doubtful whether any overt act will
be committed unless the populace is
aroused by further irritating orders
from Havana.

A MILLION PRIESTS
1t II Said That One-SIxth OF the
SiRnese Are Dedicated to
SacerdOtalinm.

According to lecture on Siam de-
livered recently in London by John
Bartlett, that Asiatic country has more
than its share Of priests. The popula-
tion of Siam, he said, amounted to about
G,O0G,oG0, and Il curious feature was the
large preponderance of Chinese, more
especially in Bangkok. The Chinese
practically controlled all the trade and
commerce of the place. There were
hardly any Siamese merchants. One
million of the people were in the priest
hood. He had Travelled up river through
the main territory of Siam for dis
tance OF $50 miles, and during the jour
ney 1T had been absolutely impossible to
get out of sight of temple. In each
temple therewere from 10 to 300 priests,
supported entirely by the people. OF
the 100000 priests only 100000 were
actively engaged. The remaining 700.
Ooo were passing through the priest
hood. Siam was great stronghold of
buddhism, but the king was very toll
Grant of other religions.
The Siamese government put but lit
Tie restriction on trade, and an ordinary
foreigner could come and go all over the
kingdom without a passport. The
greater part of the trade in Bangkok
at least so per cent. of twas brought
there by ships flying the British flag.
AS far as the imports of the country
were concerned, there were great pros
poets OF improvement, and the business
with Great Britain should be doubled
within rs years. The future of Siam de-
pended above all things upon the atti-
tude and policy of Great Britain.

WOMEN WON'T REST.

DawdlinS-A Good Motto
for Workers.

The gospel of periodical rest is not
preached to women half forcibly
enough. One of the most narrowing
remarks made at the Denver meeting
%! club women last year was by an en-.
thusiast who urged that women should
not slip back in the summer from the
effort they had made during the win.

Cevidant the speaker would take away
= from this busy modern woman the
scant respite she permits herself dur
ing part of the summer. At n recent
=, club meeting in suburban town
member presented the "VaIue of Sys-
TEN in Work." and gave q model day
in which every minute from breakfast
to bedtime was filled with active effort,
When she had finished, a woman in
the audience arose and pointed out that
one important occupation of the day
had been omitted. That was "dawd.
ling" and the speaker said while in.
dorsing the value of system she must
put in an eloquent plea for the incor.f :
poration in the working day of every
, woman of at least half-hour's abso-
lutte rcst-not the rest of q fresh occupa.
tion, but the rest of complete and en-
tire relaxation, mental and physical.
The nervous, active, overzealolis Ameri-
can woman of to-day scarcely knows|
Ihow to rest. "If you have found day
to be idle" says some one, "be idle for
day." This is a motto that many ,vom,
en will do we'll to fasten up on their
dressing tables.

over in bed alone. After using two
bottles OF Electric Bitters, she is

do her own work." This supreme

The Volunteer Soldiers.

South Dakota's volunteer soldiers
will be mustered out at the Preside
near Oct. 1st and reach no me in the
early days OF next month. The
Preside is the military camp at San
Francisco, where the boys are per-
forming their last acts rs soldiers.
This regiment is called South Dako-
ta's LIST Volunteers, while lowa's
regiment in the Philippines is her
51st. Iowa had many regiments in
the civil war. while there was no
state of South Dakota. In other
words volunteer regiments are num-
bered from the beginning of state
hood, and not for any particular
war.
The regiment will be brought home
in body by means OF the funds
raised, and the boys can thus reach
their homes with the money Uncle
Sam pays each one when mustered
out.
The disagreeable fued between the
officers was tremendously settled
last week, probably by the good ad-
vice OF representatives sent to meet
the boys. Inregard to this difficulty
