A Bow Who Was Too Smart.

There's a youngster on Joy street who
hears things, remembers them and util-
ICES them in his own way at home.
The other night there was company
for dinner and Jimmie startled every one
when he thus tried to relieve a. brief si-
lence:
Papa, you smell like a Chinese laun-
dryman."
What do you mean, you impudent
boy?" blurted out the father, both embar-
raised and angry.

Jimmy could hear laughter after he had
gone to bed under imperative orders.
Several weeks ago there was a meet

their deliberations. After listening long

CUBANS ARE TO BE AIDED
COMMUNITIES CANNOT HAVE
ALL COLLECTED.
However, Proper Orders Have Been
Issued for the Relief of Dis
tress Existing in Various
Quarters.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Regarding
the sensational reports from Santiago
that the whole province has been in
famed by the recent order Of the War
Department concentrating all customs
money in Havana" thus threatening
stoppage of all public Improvements
and threatening to throw thousands of
Cubans out of employment, it may be
authoritatively stated that any excite
ment existing in Santiago is due to
misapprehension of the War Depart
ment's order. 1t seems to have been
taken for granted that the order con-
templates sending all currency collected
for customs dues to Havana, and thus
cutting off the Governor of Santiago
province from the employment of local
labor. The fact is that the officers in
charge of customs at the various ports
of entry are merely ordered to make
weekly reports to the collector Of GUS
toms of the island at the chief port of
all transactions at the SUPPORT over
which he may have Jurisdiction with
copies of entries of merchandise duly
certified"
The customs from all the ports of the
island are to be used for the benefit of
the Cubans, not only in Havana and
Santiago, but elsewhere.
Expenditures will be divided as equit-
ably as possible, so as to- relieve dis
tress existing in various quarters. 1t
would be just as equitable. it is argued,
for the port of New York to retain all
the customs funds collected there for
expenditure on the island of Manhattan
as it would be for Havana or Santiago
or any other town in Cuba to gobble all
of the customs receipts for expenditure
within it's own borders.
So far from the War Department
contemplating any curtailment of the
relief work in Cuba an order already
has been issued to the Governor Cen
eral directing him to furnish work to
every able bodied Cuban applying for
it at a fair rate of weekly wages. meas
ured by Cuban standards. The order
suggests that the best lines of employ
ment are in sanitary work. road i'm
provement and municipal work Of va
rious sorts.
1t is intended to offer a chance for
remunerative work to all who are able
to take advantage of it and to cut off
the gratuitous distribution of rations
among those natives able to work for
what they eat. The employment con-
templated will not be offered, however.
to any resident of the island who re-
tains his allegiance to Spain.

control.
Call Office, Riggs House.
Washington. D. c., Jan. 4,

When the formal order was to-day
issued mastering out the Eighth Cali
fornia Regiment and companies B and
G of the California Heavy Artillery the
Adjutant General said incidentally that
nothing definite could be said rs to the
First California Infantry. now at Ma
pected to leave New York in a week or
ten days. 1t was expected that several
of the regiments of volunteers at Ma
Mia would be relieved upon their ar
rival, and that the First California
would be among these. But the
trouble with the insurgents, especially
at Iloilo, may change the situation.
The department hopes that these
troubles will be speedily settled, but
the officials have no Information upon
which to predicate an opinion of the
real situation there. The officials are
anxiously awaiting advices and hoping
that those advices will show a change
for the better
1t is the general opinion. however.
that conflict cannot be avoided if the
United States forces attempt to land
at Iloilo. OF course landing could
have been effected by force at any time
the forts were shelled, the city re-
duced and the insurgents driven out.
Such a course, however, is just what
this Government is most DESTROYS of
avoiding, and consequently General
Miller has used only, conciliatory meas
ures in dealing with the natives.
In the meantime, however. Aguinaldo
has been securing the adjoining islands
for native reinforcementS, which have
poured into Iloilo every day. greatly
increasing the army there. 1t is thought
now that should General Miller attempt
to land in spite of the prohibition of
the native chiefs a bloody battle might
enSue.
The last dispatch received at the War
Department from General Otis an
nounced that he would send the First
California Regiment to reinforce Cen
eral Miller. The published dispatches
that this had been done. The regiment
was embarked on the transports Cam
pania and Martina and conveyed to
Iloilo by the gunboat Concord.
This action of General Otis was some
what of a surprise to department OIL
Gals, as he had been instructed to do
nothing which would weaken his force
at Manila. He was not absolutely
hound by those instructions. however.
and the fact that he has sent reinforce
ments to General Miller is thought TO
indicate that he regards the situation
at Iloilo as serious. General Miller has
now something over 5000 men under
him. The cruiser Baltimore is the flag
shin of the small naval detachment
there, which is commanded by Captain
Dyer.
The insurgent forces numbered only
about 1900 when the city was turned
over to them by the Spaniards, but they
have been greatly augmented since. 1t
is feared that Aguinaldo is organizing
his forces to resist Americans wherever
resistance is possible, and a dispatch
announcing that a conflict had taken
place would cause little surprise at any
time.

THE SPANIARDS DENY
CHARGE OF BAD FAITH

MADRID, Jan. 4.-The statement that
the Spaniards evacuated Iloilo in order
IN render the situation difficult for the
Americans is positively denied. The
Government, Immediately after the
treaty had bc-l signed, ordered the
Philippines evacuated as quickly as
possible in order to avoid further
bloodshed and to conform to the ex
pressed wish of the Americans, who
were very exacting. especially in the
case of Cuba.
An interview with an ex-prefect Of a
province Of the Philippines is published
here. in the course of which he is quoted
as saying:
president Mckinley has shown COM
plete ignorance Of the situation in the
Philippines. When the Americans oc-
cupied Manila there were only four in
surgent provinces. The Americans en-
Outraged the revolution and now they

said that while it might be true
it was considered doubtful, as it
was not believed Otis would
take such an important step with
out informing the home Govern
ment of it.
Otis plan, as outlined in dis
patches received yesterday, was
to publish the proclamation in
pamphlet form and distribute it
at all important places, including
Malolos, where the delegates to
the Filipino Congress we're to
gather, in order that the latter
might be fully informed of the in
tentionS of the American Gov
eminent before taking any action
in the matter of sanctioning
Aguinaldo in further opposition
to American control.
The Navy Department re-
ceived dispatches from Dewey to-
night, but according to the story
given to the press these related
only to sending war vessels to
the ports of the Philippines to an
nounce the assertion of American

themselves are the victims of the sup
port which they gave the insurgents,
who have become masters of the entire
archipelago except Mindanao, where
the natives, who are Mussulmans, re-
fuse to recognize American rule al
though they have not revolted.
"Aguinaldo's unpopularity is due to
his friendship for the Americans His
treatment of the Spanish prisoners has
been horrible. Monks have been
marched through the streets led by
cords attached to rings through their
noses and others have been employed
literally as beasts of burden. A thou
sand have died of ill-treatment."
