be necessary though in order to insure per-
manent improvement.
While no details are gwen, it is assumed
that General Brooke as supreme military
commander on the island, will promptly re-
place the machinery of civil administration
which is now represented by the colonial
cabinet by some agency more in harmony
with the new conditions. The best thing
that can happen to Cuba will be for the
cabinet to disappear completely on January
/. The members, or some OF them, are
willing to stay They have been fixing their
would remain. But The cabinet as body
is hated by the Cuhans and disrusted by
the Spaniards. The pubic has no con6den 'e
in any of them.
The Ayuntamiento, or City Counc pre-.
sents a similar condition. Its proceedings
became so scandalous that the civil COVER
nor dismissed nine of the aldermen. This
did not work a change for the better, be-
cause the council went on in its old course,
simply giving a new set of spectators the
benefit of its liberality. The decree of the
Captain General made void the acts of the
City Council as well as of the cabinet. Some
kind of municipal machinery is desirable
in Havana while the United States is ex-
ercising military control. The council may
fulfil the necessary functions but the task
Of reforming it with honest men is diff
cult one.
Complete order has been re.established to-
day. The Spanish authorities are fulfilling
their duties in parts of the city not evac-
uated by the Spanish troops. American SOL
diers keep guard in the central part and
the Cuban forces in the suburbs.

Two companies of Pennsylvanians under
Major Meyer went TO Mariel yesterday.
Col. Seyburn of the Two Hundred and
Second New York Regiment raised the
American flag yesterday over the municipal
building at Mariel in the presence of num-
ber of notable persons and the people of the
town. He made speech in English, which
was interpreted into Spanish, in the course
of which he said:
"In this solemn act you must not see any
meaning except paternal love and protec-
tiou--never domination. We do not wish
to see differences between parties. All Gu

D. J. Laird left for Granite Falls
Tuesday, on visit with his daughter,
Mrs. Ben. Nelson.
The fact that Commissioner T. j.
Sloan of the Fifth district has gone to
the Klondike has created a great deal
of talk in his district as to whether
his seat on the county board is not va
cant. Nearly all of his constituents
are of the opinion that it is, but the
better opinion seems to be that it is
not. A county official, and particular
ly commissioner, probably has the
right to leave the State for six months
or a year, so long as his home is still
in the county. Surprising physicians
would advise him to go to another eli
mate for six months or year, his Of
fee certainly could not be declared va
cant, and the mere fact that Mr.. Sloan
has gone to the gold fields to be alb
sent six months or less than a year, is
no reason why his position on the
board is vacant.

two events we're grand stand chases
for several minutes, after which the
rabbits quit the crowd for the north,
where the dogs either lost or caught
their game.

D. A. r. RELIEF WORK.

To-day at the New Haven house. a
meeting of the d. A. r.. chapter regents
throughout the state will be held, for
the purpose of discussing ways and
means for carrying on the work Of re-
lief, organized in this city under the
leadership of Mrs. Sara II. Kinney,
state regent. County committees will
be appointed from the different chap
tiers and the regents of the chapters
located in each county will report to
these committees and these in turn to
the state regent. This plan will do
away with the necessity Of sending
contributions to New Haven, but they
can be shipped direct from several
points.
The splendid work the Daughters are
accomplishing for the soldiers may be
partly determined by the fact that al
though organized less than a month,
large consignments have already
been sent to Tampa, Chickamauga
and to the hospital ship Relief, includ-
ing 121 pajamas and bands, 100 hospital
pillows, $25 in money, to be expended
