WAR OFFICES ORDER A PROBLEM.
Objection of Santiago People May Re.
Quire Tactful Handling,

Objection of Santiago People May He.
quire Tnctful Handling.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The objection of
the citizens OF Santiago to the execution of
the War departments program requiring
the customs dues at that port and all other
ports to be sent to Havana has brought the
War department face to face with another
OF the many problems connected with the
administration OF affairs in Cuba that re-
quires speedy settlement. The order Is felt
to be absolutely necessary, the interests OF
good government requiring that there
should be but one responsible head to the
customs service in Cuba. 1t was pointed
out at the War department that II Santiago
at one end OF the island and Havana at the
other were allowed to keep their customs
and Pinar del Rio would be without funds
to make any public improvements. The
officials are disposed to allow each of the
military manders OF the seven depart
ments into which Cuba Is divided to submit
requsitiops, based on estimates of cost of
such public works as sanitation, harbor i'm
provements and road and bridge building, as
II is deemed desirable to undertake.
The cabinet which General Brooke Is about
to call to his assistance in the administra-
tdon OF the island probably will examine
into these necessities and propose an allot-
ment OF the total customs collected and in
ternaf revenue taxation In proportion to the
needs OF the communities and in accordance
with the principles OF justice and good gov
ernment.

said. 'it is a safe estimate to say that we
will collect the customs for an amount not
exceeding 100000, and 1t may be as low
as Sl50000. Our force at Havana, for in
stance, will consist Of only Colonel Bliss
the collector. three deputy collectors, two

terprise.
Good Outlook for Sugar.
Henry T. oxnard, president OF the beet
sugar factories in Nebraska, is in Wash
ington after a summer spent on the Pa
ciflc coast and looking after his property in
the antelope state. Speaking to The Bee
representative. he said that he looked for
ward to 1899 as being the most prosperous
year in the interest OF beet sugar Nebraska
had ever witnessed, both for the farmer
and manufacturer He believes that II Is
only a question Of time when Nebraska will
take rapid strides forward once more in
this industry, the last season demonstrat-
ing beyond doubt that Nebraska can hold
its own with any state in the union In the

a higher grade during the last season.
Mr.. Oxnard Is an ntiexpansionists and
looks with great deal OF concern upon the
acquisition Of new territory, especially Of
territory not in harmony with the spirit
Of American institutions. He says there
was no legislation in which he was inter-
ested at the national capitol except the
general propositions that will safeguard
the interests OF the government OF the
United States by opposing the seeming ex-
pansion policy OF the government
Nebraska Senatorial Fight.
Persons hereabouts interested in the SEN
atorial situation In Nebraska are exceed
ingly anxious to know who has the stronger
hand, as far as the b. & NJ. railroad Is
concerned, General C. F. Henderson, gen.
eral solicitor OF that company, or G. w.
Holdrege, the general manager. General
Henderson since he has been in Washing
ton has been outspoken in favor Of Eugene
J. Hainer OF Aurora for the senatorial place,
while 1t Is understood that Holdrege Is
quietly assisting d. e. Thompson Of Lam
caster Mandersons avowed friendship for
Haner is easily explalnable. as the latter
while chairman Of the republican state
central committee, did everything in his
power to give the Nebraska delegation to
Henderson for president as against Mokin-
ley, who eventually succeeded in getting the
state vote by making an open warfare on
