UNFAIR ORDER ISSUED
AS TO CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.
Funds Collected at Santiago Ordered Sent
to Havana-Bald the Order Will Be
Injurious.
f- SANTIAGO. Jan. 1-An order has been
received from Havana, which. If enforced,
will mean, In the judgment of commer.
clal classes here, serious Injury to tha
province. This is a direction to transmit
the entire customs receipts each week
to Havana.
Compliance with such Instructions
would Involve the abandonment of the
many necessary public Improvements,
especially In the matter of roads and
water works. Since American occupation
began the funds have been used for such
purposes and have been the principal
means or meeting the necessary expend!,
tuns. Tl HervUdo ssiys that to carry out
this oniT would rob 10,000 Cubans of em
ployment, r"OBt of whom would probably
take to the hills and become bandits,
having no other recourse.
The British consul at Santiago says it
was Spain's practice of monetary cen
tralisation which caused her troubles In
Cuba.
