MEANS RETURN TO ANARCHY.
Gen. Brooke's Orders VIII Cause
Trouble in Santiago.

Santiago de Cuba, January 22 The
order from the United States military
authorities in Havana, directing the au-
thorities Of the Santiago military depart
ment not to expend Q cent of the customs
receipts without the permission OF the
Governor General and the order directing
that hereafter the bulk of the sanitary
work shall be done without money pay
and for rations merely. were given to the
local press for publication yesterday
though received here last Thursday.
Ell Cubano In commenting upon the
instructions of the Governor General,
says: "Ths feeling Is prevalent that the
only course now is to retire to the noun
tains."
This is of course, an exaggeration,
though the fact Is that there are many
people who make just such threats.
As showing how far the province has
drifted backward since the first an
nouncement that the customs were not to
be freely expended for provincial i'm
provements, the Santiago Heraldo reports
that @ band of men are committing
wholesale depredations in the Mayari dis
trict, where several people have been
murdered, and that another band, in the
Guantanamo district, have burned all the
cane prepared for pressing on the Isabel
plan utation.
"These outbreaks" says the Heraldo,
"are the first fruits of the money central
ization system"
AS yet tho Mayari report has not been
verified.
The independence, which publishes the
two orders, is comparatively temperate in
its editorial comments except that 1t in
dulges IN the usual personal abuse Of
Gov. General Brooke. The editorial con-
cludes with defiant declaration: "If
necessary, the Cubans will know how to
act. "

GERMANS IN PHILIPPINES.

Munich, January 22.-The Neusste
Nachrichten, which raised a storm of in
dignation among the ultra patriotic
papers by limiting that G.rmaL doings in
the Philippines were largely responsible
for the delicate rel ations between the
United States and Germany, and that, as
the German foreign Office knew nothing
of them, 1t would be adv isable to insti-
tute an Investigation with view of
avoiding the recurrence of such mistakes,
makes the following announcement to-
day:
1.-THE Americans here have decided to
send to the Washington government q
protest against the anti-German express
sions used in the House OF Representa-.
tiyes and declaration thas no animosity
against Americans exists in Germany
where Americans always meet with the
mos friendly reception.

GERMANY WANTS OUR GOOD WILL

London, January 23.-The Berlin COR
respondent of the Times, says: There
are good reasons for believing that the
German government regards the mainten-
ance OF cordial relations with Great
Britain and the United States as far
more import ant than even German COM
mercial interests in Samoa. The tone OF
the leading journals therefore is on the
whole, free from bitterness nr exaggera-
ton. In a word there are many indica-
tions that Germany will not frustrate a
revision of the treaty of Berlin by extrav-
agant demands such as for the oessio OF
the Island to Germany.

IN THE SENATE.
Disposition OF Treaty Yet Very Uncer-
tain.

Washington, January q. The fact that
the anti-scnlping bill was ma 1e the un-
finished business Of the Senate by Satur-
da,'s vote, does not necessarily insure its
immediate consideration. The general
understanding Is that this bill will wait
upon the peace treaty and the appropria-
tiops and that the Indian appropriation
bill will be the first measure to receive the
attention OF the Senate during the week.
The diplomatic aud pension appropria-
ton bills, also may be considered during
the week.
Several speeches on the general subject
of expansion are expected to be made.
One of these by Senator White in opposi-
tion to the governments policy will be
made tomorrow and Senator Lodge will
follow Tuesday with brief talk in sup
port of.the policy, and inaadvocacy OF the
early ratification of the peace treaty.
How much time will be given to the
treaty in executive session will depend
upon whether the committee on foreign
relations considers 1t in the interest of
the treaty to press consideration. There
Ia an effort to arrange compromise
which would permit speedy action upon
the treaty, but II this not successful, the
indications are for considerable delay.
Two compromises are suggested. One of
these is for a modification Of the treaty or
the adoption of a regulation declaration
against the permanent holding of the
Philippine archipelago. and the other is
for a modification of the armyreorganiza-
ton bill on lines desired by the treaty
opponents. 1t is not yet possible to state
whether either course will be pursued.
On Friday, the Senate will listen to
euiogies on the late Representative Cook
of Illinois.

House Considers Reorganization Bill
This Week.

publfcans Opposed To Increase In
Regular Army.
Washington, January 22.-The time Of
the House this week except tomorrow,
which has been set inside for the consider
alton of District of Columbia business.
will be devoted to the.army reorganization
bill. The consideration of this bill, which
is regarded as pre- EN- inently the most
important general measure to come be-
fore Congress at this session, has been
delayed by the Illness Of Chairman Hull
of the military affairs committee. lie
has recovered sufficiently to pilot the
measure, however, and the House has
formally agreed to take up Its considera-
tion on Tuesday. The general debate not
including three night session, Is to con
tinue fifteen hours This is as far as the
sreement goes. II includes no provision
for final vote. The debate promises to
be both interesting and important, as
1t will raise all the questions involved In
increasing our standing army to 10000
men as proposed by the bill, together
with our whole future policy relative to
the territory acquired In the recent war
with Spain. There exists wide variety
of opinions on the proposition to increase
the standing army. There is strong
majority of the Republicans behind 1t
and 1t comes into the House with the In
dorsement Of the Presidents message par
ticularly as an administration measure.
The Democrats and Popul:sts are intsnse-
ly hostile to the whole proposition and
intend TO light 1t to the last ditch. They
will have some support from the Republi'
can side. Tho opposition. however. do

was denied, have placed weapon In the

who will use the statement that there is
doubt as TO the future of the Philippines
as a strong argument against perma-
pept increase of the regular army. The
bill may not be completed this week as
the order permits its consideration to be
by appropriation bills and
conference reports. One OF these, the
military is on the ca lendar. The river
and Uharbor will be reported tomorrow
and the naval bill probably before the
end of the week.
