COLONIAL FISCAL POLICY.
The Cabinet Discusses the Santiago
and Other ProbIem>

General Brooke's protest against the fur
ther employment of the Bank of Spain at
Havana as the fiscal agent of the United
States for the collection of taxes in Cuba
and for other purposes. was considered
fully at the Cabinet meeting yesterday
This document was received in the morn
ing by Secretary Alger. who conveyed it to
the White House when he went to attend
the Cabinet session.
Secretary Gage stated that he had been
informed by the director of the Spanish
Bank that ~ per cent of the tax collectors
in Cuba are Cuban. and therefore should
not be obnoxious to the people of the ISL
and. He further stated that the bank,
after paying the collectors. received prac-
tically but about l per cent as commission
for assuming the great responsibility incl
dent 10 the collecting and handling of the
funds.
The matter of collecting the arrearages
OF taxes in Cuba, which amount to a large
sum. was also considered by the Cabinet
as was the future insular governments
The President laid before his advisers
all the facts in his possession relative to
the differences between the eastern and
western portions of the island as to the
collection and expenditures of the reve-
nues.
Attention was called to the recent confer
ences between the President and General
Wood. military governor OF Santiago pro-
vince, and Joaquin Castillo, IA representa-
tive citizen of Santiago. General Wood
opposes the proposition TO make Santiago
a SUPPORT and requiring that certain per-
centage of its revenues shall be sent to
Havana for disbursement. He holds that
all public moneys collected in his bailiwick
should be directly applied 10 the improve
ment of Santiago province and the better
ment of its inhabitants. The Cabinet ad-
journed without reaching any decision in
the matter of Cuban revenues.

The Peace Treaty.

As the President becomes mole serene
over the question of the ratification of the
Treaty of Peace at this session, the OBJ
structionists grow more anxious. They be
lieyed they could force modification Of
the Treaty by refusing TO allow it to
come TO a vote They knew the import
ance TO the Administration of early action,
and there is no doubt they were right
about the complications that must follow
delay But they did not make a just esti-
mate of the remarkable patience of the
President. He has done his whole duty
as he saw II, acting in entire harmony with
popular sentiment and therefore can afford
to wait. The obstructionists were deluded
into thinking that Mr. Bryan. Senator
Hoar. Mr. Carnegie. and their strange as
sociates could turn the tide of public
opinion but after their utmost endeavors
every expression from the people reveals
Kinley. As California spoke, so speaks
even Maine, in spite of the opposition Of
Senator Hale, Speaker Reed, Representa-
tive Boutelle. and others-speaks unani-
mously through the legislature for the i'm
mediate and unconditional ratification OF
the Treaty. So the President is fully war
rsnted in saying to the obstructionists ::
Gentlemen. your fight is with the people.
/ have been simply their instrument in the
creation of this Treaty and in the policy it
imposes in relation to the Philippine. In
preventing the majority from acting, you
are Obstructing the peoples policy. am
personally Indifferent and can wait until
the Senate is ready to vote. ! cannot sub
NIT to any change, since l acted not
only in the interests Of the nation, but
also according TO the will of the people
This attitude has terrorized the minority
To what degree may be guessed from the
amazing assertion of one OF the leaders
that the advocates of unconditional ratilica-
ton are responsible for the delay. Those
of us who believe the Treaty should be rat
flied, - he says-that is, the minority Sena-
tors who refuse 10 allow il TO come to a
vote--'are ready and willing 10 act
promptly upon 1t whenever II is modified in
this particular" That is 10 say, the OBJ
structioDists are ready TO vote for the
Treaty when il is resolved into something
else than what 1t is. The responsibility J
for the delay" he continues. rests with
the other side, and they must account tc
the American people for any delay"
Nothing could better reveal the utter
desperation and panic of the minority

New Orleans. Jan. 24.-Dr. II. r. Carter.
who is in charge of the marine hospital
service of Louisiana and Mississippi, re-
ceived orders yesterday TO proceed at once
to Washington, where instructions would
be given him before his departure for Cuba
as officer in charge of the marine hospital
service on the island
The Government decided day or two
ago to leave to the care OF the marine hos
pital service the quarantine system to be
established in Cuba and Porto Rico, and it
is desirous to begin at once such quaran-
tine work as is needed for the protection
of this country from infection from Cuba.
The plan that will be adopted in Cuba and
Porto Rico will be to fnmigate and disin-
feet vesssl Is when leaving the ports Of these
islands. instead OF disinfecting them on
their arrival in this country.
DR.. Carter stated that there is barge
and good deal of machinery at Santiago
de Cuba. and plant will be constructed
there. A contract has been given for big
plant at Havana. This plant will arrive in
Havana. according to contract. on the LIST

General Eagan's Trial.

The court-martial of Commissary Gen
eral Eagan will begin today with open
doors In itself, it is a very simple thing
The charges and the specifications are
plain. and as TO the facts there can be
no controversy. In most trials the qEes-
tion whether the accused is guilty OF the
alleged offence is important and open 10
discussion and subject 10 proofs and ref
utations. Here there will be denial
of the allegation, as the evidence is direct
and conclusive. Whether General Eagan
pleads not guilty and attempts 10 justify
his use of the forbidden language. or
whether he pleads guilty and throws him
self on the mercy of the court, or whether
he contends that in the circumstances the
language used does not constitute the Of
fence charged, the fact that he did use
the specified phrases will be admitted.
There is every reason TO expect brief
trial and Of the verdict it is easy TO speak
with certainty.
There has been talk of pleading provo
cation in defence in a way TO involve Cen
eraI Miles in court Of inquiry or court
martial under General Eagan's construc-
lion of the statement of the Commanding
General before The Alger Relief Commits
sion-that, in effect. he accused the Com
missaIy General or the Secretary OF War
with making a pretence of an experiment
with a ration adopted without the consent
of Congress This is improbable 1t is
affirmed. however, that the meat compan-
les with their supposed great influence
are backing General Eagan and were even
aware of the latter's intention to make the
assault for which he is to be tried; and
that they are determined to pursue every
army officer who testified against the eX-
cellence of their meat. But the interest in
this can only come after Tie court martial
has done its work.
The court is made up of army officers,
all of whom are of high standing and
wholly trustworthy. That they will be
guided entirely by the evidence and viii
be impervicus TO any and all outside in
fuence is a matter of course. II is doubt
full il they would feel justified in con-
sidering the question of provocation at
all. but more probably they viii pay at
tention only TO the language used by Cen
cral Eagan and the reasonable penalty he
has incurred. II there is to be any len
iency in this case growing out OF the sup
posed state of mind of the accused or due
10 outside pressure, it will not be APP

CAPTAIN LEARY AT NORFOLK.
VIII Leave for Guam in About Two
Weeks.

Norfolk Va. Jan. 24.-Capt Richard P.
Leary recently appointed naval governor
Of the Island OF Guam by President Nc
kinley. arrived here today and reported
to Commandant Farquahar at the navy
yard. Until the auxiliary cruiser Yose-
mite. on which he will take passage. sails,
Captain Leary will reside at the navy
yard. The Yosemite will sail in about two
weeks.
Captain Leary said today that he would
take command OF division of the Asiatic
squadron under Rear Admiral Dewey and
would use the Yosemite as his flagship
with headquarters at Guam. Guam is to
be one Of the principal naval stations of
the United States in the Pacific. and Il
large steel dock will be built for our war
ships. which will coal there.
Captain Leary carries to Guam a proc
lamation from President Mckinley to the
natives of the island, which is identical
with those used in Porto Rico and Cuba
Captain Leary said the most important
clause was that the ports occupied by the
United States shall be opened to the COM
merCe of all friendly powers.

than this absurd statement Nobody WHO
is not terrorized could be guilty OF such
an outrage on common sense and such
reflection on the intelligence of the public
as it implies. 1t is not worth the least
notice except as a proof of the fact that
the minority realizes the stupandous
blunder it has made. Insincere and fool
ish as have been the inconsistent argu-
ments made in defence of its wanton and
inexcusable policy. this last affirmation
must astound men of ordinary sense. In
it the President may find assurance that
even the minority recognizes the populari-
ty of his course and every warrant to
maintain his attitude, accepting no COM
promise and making no concessions. If the
