Show Changes at Santiago. Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 27. Important Import-ant changes in the civil government relating to schools, police, customs and mercantile and harbor regulations are in process of preparation by Generals Lawton and Wood, and a proclamation carrying them into effect will probably be issued in a few days. The police force is to be increased with a view of enabling the withdrawal of the military mili-tary from patrol duty. The changes will aid the shipping, mercantile and industrial classes. The port dues and salaries of many civil, ecclesiastical and provincial officers will be reduced. |
