HAVANA. March 3S.-Gcnoral Salccdo sailed last evening from Havana for Pu- erto del Padre, on tho mort hrast coast of tho island, in command of the troops ar rived here Monday from Spain. The other troops which have arrived sinco Monday will shortly be dispatched to tho disturbed districts General Salcedu Is thoroughly familiar with the topography of tho is- land especially the mountainous regions in the oriental province, and his knowl- edge will stand him in good stead in pursuing the insurrectiOnists who havo in many instances been able to defy the government troops owing to their famil- iarity with almost inaccessible mountain haunts, to which they retreat when close pressed by the troops.
 General Salcvdo believes that all the available troops should be immediately put into tho field. and that the campaign against the inSurrrCtionists should be prosecuted with vigor in order to crush the movement before it gains acccssions through seeming apathy on the part of the authorities. Tho rainy soason will set i'll shortly, and General Salcodo thinks that a decisive blow should be struck be- fore the country becomes impossible Tho governor general has approved of this plan of campaign.

THE CANADIAN CRISIS.
Mixture of Religion and Politics Is Caus-
 ing n Lively Rumpus.

OTTAWA. March 3S.-Thcru is more ex- citcmPnt In political circles today than at any timC snCo the news was received here of the sudden death at Windsor hastle of Sir Jrhn Thompson. That there are sc riOus disScnsions in the cabinet goes with out saying, but tho extent of the division is tho uuanswcrahle question.
 There are two causes for this want of harmony. GNe is Ill" recent plSSagc of tho order in CIunCi. lOmmCnding tho Manitoba government to grant remedial Legislation to thoEatholic minority. This order has pleased nobody. The Catholics of Qurbrc think that tho order ought tu he mandatory. while the Protrstants of Ontario assert thnt tho federal govern. mcnt ought cot, cvon hy suggest lon, tn interfere with tnc question of provincial education.
 The other t9USr uf trouble was the dc Cisiun of the cabinet to hold session of parliament before going to the country This decision was bitterly opposed by Hon. George Foster. minister of finance, who will havo budget deficiency of somo Si GOO, ,00O to announce. and was anxious to make an appeal tn the country before this diShrnrtCning piece of financial news was officially made public.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

-Yesterday Dr Brown performed a criti- cal operation on Louise Fischer, the five year old daughter of Robert Fischer, Is North Riverside street. When two years old the child had an attack of infantile paralysis and on her recovery had deformed foot wkich was practically useless. The doctor cut several tendons and strengthened out the foot and put it in plaster cast which will be removed in a few weeks.
 One of the best sites that could be selected for the, postoffice is the vacant lot on Bank street. opposite the New England hotel. It is near enough to the Naugatuck railroad to save Uncle Sam the expense of carrying the mail to and from the office. A suitable building could be erected at once and the location is the best in the city.
