SANTIAGO'S TRADE.
Waabington, Jan. 10. ¿-The trade of
Santiago ia already showing a surprie-
ing growth under American adminis
tration. General Wood haa submitted
a report to the war department, in
which ho states that the policy of non
discrim i native intercourse extended to
the vessels of all nations in Santiago
province has greatly facilitated the re-
establiabment of commercial relatione
and baa been one of the chief features
in the restoration of comparative pros
perity In commerce, industry and agri
culture.
' Outward cargoes of sugar and other
products are being graudally found for
shipping, but exportations from the
mines of the province have contributed
the bulk of the exports.
"The fact,” stye General Wood,
“that the minea Were put into opera
tion at an early date after the capitula
tion of Santiago waa important in
that the employment of large numbers
of natives during a critical period was
stimulated by the facilities for ship
