The Formal Order Providing There
fOr-The General and the Department
Commander

NOLA1kA1uAOCI9
Washington, December 5.-The war
department today made public the for
ma, order providing for the military
government of Cuba. The notable fea-
ture Of the order is that Major General
Ludlow, who is designated as military
governor of Havana city, while nomi-
nally subordinate to the division COM
mander, General Brooke, is apparently
charged to exercise all the civil func-
tons in that place under the direct au-
thority of the president.
General Lees functions appear to be
limited to those of a strictly military
character, although it is said at the
war department he may be eventually
charged with all the duties, civil as
well as military, of the governor of a
province.
The commands of military depart
ments Of the division of Cuba, COM
manded by General Brooke, so far as
decided upon are as follows:
Department of Pinar Del Rio-Briga-
dier General G.. w. Davis.
Department of Peurto Principe-Gen-
eral l.. H. Carpenter.
Department of Santa Clara-General
Simon Snyder.
Department of Santiago-General
This leaves the provinces Of Havana
and Matanzas unprovided for. These
commands probably will be left until
the return of the president from the
south. but the probabilities are strong
that Major General Lee will be assign
ed to h department Of Havana, and
Major General ]. H. Wilson to the COM
mand of the department Of Matanzas.
General Brooke. who has been in
this city in conference with the au-
thorities for several days past, will
leave for Cuba in ample time to be on
hand when h United States govern
ments takes formal possession of the
island on New Years day.

The Decay of the Dandy.

Brummel went TO prison for debt,
but came out again TO resume his fop-
peries. His friends made him a small
allowance Of G12O per annum-equal at
Caen to e300-but he could not be ex-
pected to live on such pittance. When
he had not francs in the world, he
would order boot polish at 3 francs a
bottle from Paris and call the trades
man who supplied it "a scoundrel" for
venturing to ask for his money. In the
end his intellect gave way. He lost his
memory and much of his little mind.
He grew slovenly and careless, yet to
the last clung to his eau dc cologne and
some other luXuries. Finally, his mind
all gone, he was removed to a charity
hospital, being now reduced to the ut
most impOverishment and content to
change his linen once a month, instead
Of three times a day, as Of old Here he
died, under the care of sisters of chari-
ty, on March 80, 1910. Thus ended the
striking career Of perhaps the most
worthless fop whom history records, his
death being fitting termination to his
useless life. fe.-Lippincott's
