(WOOD'S SYSFEM Of Municipal Taxation for the City of Santiago. THE CUSTOM HOUSE FUNDS CANNOT BE USED, THEREFORE THE OLD TAX LAWK WILL BE REVIVED AND MADE RETROACTIVE TO SEPTEMBER 1?THE CITY BADLT IN NEED OF HON? ?/^AV I. FUtt XAimuvciwciniio uw?templated by governor general wood. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. 4.?General Wood propose* to Inaugurate a system of municipal taxation, making ihe taxes retroactive to September 1. The funds of the custom house cannot legally be taken for municipal improvements here or in thia viclnltyv though the preaeni surplus la $100,000. Consequently another source of revenue has J to be obtained. There has been a law j to tax and license every bualneas and , everybody, but etnee th? occupation of Santiago by the American troops these taxes have not been collected. Now. however, the minimum rates will be exacted, which will bring In a revenue of 9150.000 per month, which Is badty needed for local improvements. It la the v.iimr of General Wood to spend all Iiie can legitimately upon Santiago, which la the exact opposite of the system adopted by the Spaniards. Water In the dry season costs 25 cent* per barrel. General Wood's plan la to bore artesian wells, and obtain A plentiful supply of water. Santiago can stand the expenditure of a lot of money In improvements, and General Wood proposes bulging boulevards around the city, thus' practically extending Its limits, and making the uufeklrts the most popular portion, nut there is no Idea of unduly taxing the people The general will merely raise sufficient money to' carry on the municipal Improvement in a satisfactory manner. A committee, consisting of two American officers and two Cubans, haa been appointed to consider the best legal measures to be adopted under the circumstances. General Calixto Garcia called on General Wood yesterday. He proposes going to Washington, to advocate General Wood's $50 plan of disbanding the Cuban army. General Wood leaves h$re to-day to be ?' ? r\f \fnn*linlltn prtrcem at Uircratuativi, V? He will continue the functions of the local Spanish authorities and all other arrangements. i Col.

Elements of strength i included the St. Paul statement for the fourth week of September, gold en- j gagements presaging farther case In ' the monetary situation, and more gen- i era! commission house buying. St. Paul | waa taken In hand at the outset, and lifted eharply, but Improvements in the general list was arrested by irregularity I In the specialties. The market, generally speaking, did not take on a decisive tone until the late session, when heavy I buying orders were executed all around, i which advanced prices materially. Evi| denoe that leading Interests were supporting their favorites created uneasiness among the shorts, and large lines were taken In. This likewise Influenced outside demand, which had been eliminated from the market during the demoralization of the specialties. The bears attemoted to make caDltal out of the closing of the Tradesmen's National Bank, but It was not an cfTectiVe card, as after a period of dullness, following the announcement, prices worked up slowly, until the movement assumed j large proportions In the late forenoon. | The futile efforts to bring about a sub- ; stantial reaction in the railways combin- j ed with the ready absorption of all offerings, aroused a more hopeful feeling, which became intensified as additional encouraging traffic statements came to hand. Some lines reported falling off in income, but this shoeing it was felt would soon be counterbalanced by the elimination of certain unfavorable influences current at the present time. Tobacco pursued Us usual wild course, and no variations occurred in other members of the industrials. Brooklyn Transit made a conspicuous show of gtreneth. the stock being taken on expected benefits to accrue from the absorption of the Nassau road, and effective economies in operating1 expends. A concerted drive against Sugar late in the day depressed the stock- over thre^ points, halted the general market when the rLse was in full swing. Realizations occurred all around, but & better toic prevailed at the close, the market ending steady. The bond market to-day developed considerable activity, and heavy purchases were made of the current active Issues. The general tone was strong, and a brisk inquiry prevailed for some tnortgages, which usually do not Hgure to any extent in the trading, notably St. Louis & San Francisco liens.

The fact that Liverpool showed a small opening decline and showed a disposition to go still further down the ludder was by no means lost sight of by the bears. Shortly after the opening, however, northwest receipts were corrected to 1,203 curs Instead of 1,027. This total compared with 1.706 Inst week and 1,670 a year ago, put a somewhat different phase on the situation and marled covering In a moderate way, the price under tho Improved demand slowly advancing 4o K%c.
