1t is reported in Washington that the troops
at Jacksonville, under command of General
Fitzhugh Lee, will be sent to Havana for
garrison duty after peace has been concluded.
It is also said in Washington that while Gen.
Lee has all the qualifications to make him a
competent military governor for the Island of
Cuba, it is by no means certain he will be
appointed. 1t is thought the War Depart
ment will urge an officer of the regular army
for the appointment, and it is also suggested
that political considerations may enter in the

Republican Dissatisfaction.

Much dissatisfaction exists among the Re-
publicans of Carroll over local appointments
recently made and some to be made. The
complaint is made that the appointees all be-
long to one faction, thus indicating that the
dominant faction do not desire unity, and that
two families have gotten very undue share.

Is This a Political War?

From the Philadelphia Pa, Ledger, August ,.
The War Department has ordered the de-
spatch of an entire army division, to consist of
fifteen full regiments, to reinforce Generals
Miles and Brooke at Porto Rico. There may
be some fighting about San Juan, but aside
from that, for which the forces already de-
spatched would seem to be quite sufficient,
there is not likely TO be any further difficulty
in occupying the island. The troops already
there are having Il campaign which embraces
a good many picnic features and the men
still encamped in the United States are wild
to go to Porto Rico. To accommodate as
many of these as possible and avoid unjust
determinations, the new corps is to be made
up with particular reference to an equitable
representation of all the States of the Union.
This is the political side of the war, and is one
of its grimly humorous features. 1t is the
same kind of strategy that was shown by the
Department last week, when an Illinois regi
ment, which had been sent from Chickamauga
to Newport News to embark for the 'front.' was
sent back again and an Indiana regiment taken
in its stead, because certain Indiana politicians
urged that their State was not getting its share
of the war. No wonder European critics are
puzzled by the American style of conducting
military operations. But let it be remembered
that Secretary Alger is first, if not last, of all,
IL politician, and naturally he is conducting
the War Department on Il political basis.

amounting to $50, 900, as fixed by the Spanish
