GEN. BROOKE.
He Has Been Made Mill
itary Governor Of Cuba.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Maj. Gen.
Brooke arrived in Washington
from Fortress Monroe today and
was closeted for more than an
hour in consultation with Sec
rotary Alger He then with Adjutant
General Corbin proceeded to the White
House, and when he returned to the
war department it was formally an
nOunced that the president had desig-
mated him to be military governor OF
the island of Cuba, new post which
carries with it all the control over the
military and civil branches of the is
lands, formerly exercised by the cap
tain general under the Spanish regime.
Each Of the six provinces of Cuba
will have it's own military governor
Just as Gen. Wood is now military gov
arnor of the province of Santiago, but
all Of these win receive instructions di-
rectly from Maj. Gen. Brooke who is in
supreme authority in the island. Thus
in Havana, Gen Ludlow will be gov
ernor of the city, but ansWerable to
Gen, Lee, the governor of the province
of Havana. who in turn will be answer
able to Maj. Gen. Brooke, the governor
of the island
Gen. Brooke says that he will proceed
to havana and take charge just as soon
as he can organize his staff and forces.
Gen. Brooke will be under the necessity
of providing an elaborate system of ad-
ministrative machinery in order to hold
the disOrderly elements in check and
obtain a proper application Of the laws.
Gen. Ludlow, the governor of Havana,
is already giving his attention to the
organization Of a semi-military force to
take the place of the Orden Publico and
Garde Civie, the Spanish police forces
which maintained order in town and
country. The navy department has
taken steps towards possessing itself of
the navy yard at Havana. and orders
have just been issued assigning Com
modore B. ]. Cromwell to duty as com
mandant of the new naval station.

Dodge's election by plurality OF 31e5,
his vote being 1899, and that of Capt.
Churchill, the democratic nominee,
1884. The republican aldermen elected
are Aldermen Back, Brannon, Kendall,
Vaughan, Huot and Wall, while of the
democratic candidates, the successful
candidates were DR. Barrett and
Messrs. O'ConneH and Carberry. Will
lam G. Lichtenfels who had been
thought to be a winner, failed of elec%
ton, receiving but 3343 votes, and A. y.
Rheutan, the republican independent
candidate, was also defeated, getting
only 1899 votes. The city went for
license by a majority of 1873
The contest among the councilmen
was not very exciting, O'Leary and
Gallagher being elected in ward 4. as
expected, and other elections going as
predicted. The fight between Mellen and
Carberry was a fierce one for third
place on the democratic portion of the
board, but the voters had plain
~ had enough of promises and
wanted actual work. for Mr.. Carberry
beat out his invincible opponent by 1863
votes. The election of Phillip J.
O'ConneI has been all along predicted
in The Spy, but his vote was pleasant
surprise to the candidate and his many
friends The election of Mrs. Lincoln
and DIR. Bray to the school board was
a source of much satisfaction to their
many friends.
The voting was begun early and came
in with an unusual degree of regularity.
The count was also handled with ex-
petition, and the first official returns
were in the hands of City Clerk Towne
at 4.90, coming from precinct 4, ward 4.
The hustle to get out the vote was ag-
gressive on both sides and all available
hacks and carriages were kept busy
throughout the day.
The only mayoralty pluralities OF re-
cent years in any measure approaching
that accorded Mayor Dodge yesterday
are that of 1881. when Mr.. Stoddard
won by a plurality of 3079, and that of
1893, when Mr.. Marsh defeated Mr.. Es-
tabrook by a plurality of 2996

Train.

Buffalo, Dec. 13.-Eight men were
killed and four injured at Winspeare
Bridge, near Corfu, on the New York
Central railroad this morning.
They were all Poles, with the excep-
ton Of John Warner, their foreman,

while engaged in shoveling snow,
stepped from one track to another to
avoid an approaching train. They were
struck by a fast express and were
literally ground to pieces.
Warner and his gang were working
on track No 3. A freight train was la
boring it's way up the steep incline. Its
motion was so slow that the men con-
tinued their work until the train was
almost upon them. Then they jumped
out of the way Some jumped to the
right, others to the left Those who
jumped TO the north escaped. Those
who jumped to the south, for the most
part, We're struck by the express train
coming down track No. with fearful
velocity. There is a straight piece of
track in this vicinity and the engineer
had a clear view down the stretch. No
snow was falling.
he brought the train up with a jerk
that threw the passengers out of their
seats. 1t was too late, however, to
avoid the calamity. The passengers
quickly went back to see the result of
the accident. Some Of the bodies had
been thrown so feet. Others We're thrown
against the freight train and their
bodies horribly cut up and dismem-
bered, The body Of one man was
hurled ONO the moving freight train
and carried nearly two miles.
The more fortunate companions of the
dead and injured gathered up the bodies

DODGE is PLEASED,

Majority.

he Hadnt Expected Such a Rousns
Majority.
Mayor Dodge, when seen last eve
ming by a Spy man, said: ''Ot course
am pleased with the result of the
election. had aot looked for such a
big plurality. I had expected to win
by about 1900 possibly 2000 votes. but

election can be regarded as a personal
victory. but l think that it is an In
dorsement Of an administration which
the people are satisfied was intended to
be right and conducted on a business
basis, and I am convinced that the
people like to see firmness IN office.
This term, as I have done during
the past term, I shall devote my whole
time to the duties of the office. There
is work enough to keep a man busy
in the office, and the man who has not
the time to devote to it should not
look for the Office I have no plans for
any special new work promulgated yet
but I intend perfecting and carrying
out the scheme of department work by
which each department shall work en-
tirely independent of the others ana
yet all work together. The grade
crossing question and the sewerage
separation plan are two matters OF
prime Importance demanding imms-
diate action.
Il wish to extend through the COL
umns of The Spy my thanks to the
voters, to the city committee and the
many volunteer workers throughout
the city who did such effective and
active work in my behalf. wish also
to express my gratitude over the fact
that men who honestly and conscien-~
tiously opposed me last year have

DlsGRACEFUL FIGHT.
A Bloody ARRAY During a Funeral Process
sion in Havana.


Havana, Dec. 13.-About 8 O'clock
this morning, when a funeral process
sion, which was escorting the hearse
attending the body of Jesus Solelonge,
who was killed Sunday night, reached
the corner of Infanta and San lose
streets, a violent affray took place be-
tween members of the funeral rartv
and some employees of the military
hospital. The following were wounded
DR.. Betancourt Cuban deputy for
Santiago de Cuba; Rafael Portuendo.
Cuban deputy; the Cuban general, vi
dial; the Cuban colonel, Armando Rives.
Francisco Lucas Blanco, Spaniard: Ra.-
mon Garcia, Spaniard, and three wo-
men and two children.
Garcia, who was stabbed, may die, and
Portuendo, was badly hurt.
One version of the ARRAY is that the
military hospital employees and a
number of Spanish privates, who were
standing in the hospital portico. refused
to remove their hats when requested to
do so by persons in the procession.
Thereupon the Cubans, it is alleged.
tried to knock off the hats, and a fight
ensued. The private fired upon the
procession, the windows of the hearse
being broken and bullets striking the
GOTTA. Knives and pistols We're freely
used. The procession, which consisted
of $50 carriages, continued to the Gu
ban camp, near Marianao, where mill
tary honors We're rendered. There were
more than SO wreaths of flowers from
the friends of Captain Solelonge, and
the procession and ceremonial were vir-
tually a demonstration against the ho-
tel Inglaterra outrage

Washington, Dec. 19-The Brooklyn,

While there is not the faintest de-

be noted that when they lie within the
harbor they will hold the towr in per-

event brought the authorities to a sud
den realization of the exact state of
affairs in Havana, and the imminent
danger of another such outbreak.

TO LEAVE THE CABINET.
Secretary Bliss to Hand His Resignation
10 President in Short Time.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-It is very prob
able that Secretary Bliss will tender his
resignation within short time to the
president. He has had the step under
consideration for some time, deeming it
necessary that ne should be free to de
vote more time to his large business in
terests. The resignation, it can be
stated, will not be due in the least to
any differences with the president or
his other advisers, but to Mr.. Bliss re-
luctance for purely private personal
reasons to continue longer in office as
secretary of the interior.
At the time he entered the cabinet if
was said semi-ofiicially that he did not
intend to serve out the term of four
years, but would retire at some fitting
opportunity 1t is presumed the official
announcement will not be made until
the president has chosen Mr.. Bliss sue
ceSsor.

London, Dec. 13.-Sir VIM. Vernon
Harcourt, member OF parliament for

or advantage to the country"
Mr. Morley, in his reply, expresses
sympathy with Mr.. Harcourt and says
he is not surprised at the latters de-

Lord Rosebuerry will undoubtedly be

About 200 persons saw the Tigers de-

The game was far from being up to the
high standard of gym contests lacking
both speed and good goal-throwing. Both
sides missed many easy tries for the bas-
ket, and after losing the ball on missed
tries, made no attempt to regain it.

the rough playing of Bradley and Ferri-

ARRIVED SAFE AT BARACOA.
DIR. LeHardy's Letter From His
Daughter, Mrs. ThOs. s. WylIy.

Health officer LeHardy received a let
ter yesterday from Mrs. Thomas S. Wylly,
who recently sailed from New York, to
Join Lieut. Col. Wylly at Baracoa, Cuba.
Mrs. Wylly was accompanied on the voy-
age by Mrs Ray, wife of Col. Patrick II.
Ray Of the Third Regiment, United States
Volunteers.
While the voyage in every way is re-
ported as a pleasant one, the party had
some trouble getting from Santiago to
Baracoa. AT the former place the party
was met by Col. Wylly, who had arrang-
ed for the trip across country. The jour
ney by land is reported by Mrs. Wylly as
picturesque in the extreme. Tropical
plants gave either side of the road a re-
freshing look, and the novelty of the sur
roundings to the visitors made the trip de-
lghtful.
DR.. IeHardy was especially pleased to
hear from his son, Lieut.. LeHardy, who
has lust been ordered from Baraeoa 10
Guantanamo. His orders were to proceed
direct to his new post, which 1t is under
stood he did very soon after Mrs. Wylly
arrived.
