WASHINGTON, Dec. II. Major General
Brooke arrived in Washington from
Fortress Monroe early in the day, and
was closetcd for more than an hour in
consultation with Secretary Alger. He
then, in company with Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbin, proceeded to the White
House, and when he returned. to the

nounced that the president had desig-
mated him to be military governor of the

Each of the six provinces of Cuba will

General Wood is now military governor
