Outrageous Acts of the Armed Gu
bans severely Criticised.
Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 9.-The extrem-
lists of the Cuban republican party seem
anxious to assume the responsibility for
the outrage at the Spanish Club Wednes-
day evening, when Juan Castillo, a for
mer Cuban officer, accompanied by two
negro subordinates, rode into the club
rooms, and with their machetes smashed
several lamps, and did other damage. El
Porveni, the organ of this faction, claims
that the act of Castillo represents the
feelings of a long outraged, but now SOW
ereign people"
Vice President Barbarossa of the San
Carlos Club has asserted that if Castillo
had not been promptly released from Gus
tody, 10000 Cubans would have known
the reason why. But such expressions
must rot be taken as representing the
views of the best Cuban element, which
is really very strongly in favor of annex
alton.
Gen. Leonard Woods strong hand is
much missed here, and his return, which
is expected early tomorrow, will be dou-
Dly welcome. IO-udy tol. BedcOm nau
before him Lieut.. Cranshaw of the Third
Immune Regiment, who repeated con-
versation he had had with Capt. Bickham
of the Ninth Immunes. which throws con-
siderable light upon the recent drunken
affray Of negro soldiers at San Luis and
goes to show the affair was premedltated,
and that the officers were more guilty
than the men.
Chief of Gendarmerie Vaiiente has al
ready 1900 men, from whom Gen. Wood
will choose a sufficient number to consti-
tute the force of gendarmerie which he
purposes establishing. Most Of these, Chief
Valiente says, were good soldiers during
the war but many have since been vir-
tually bandits out of sheer hunger as
they could not get rations. because they
were armed and refused to disband He
believes that they would make sufficient
gendarmerie.

ments to the Regular Army From
Military Schools.
Washington, Dec. 9.--The transportation
to Spain by the United States of the Span
ish prisoners surrendered at Santiago was
taken up by the war investigation COM
mission to-day. and Col. Hecker, who made
the contract for the United States, was
recalled to testify on this question.
He said there had been a combine of
New York shipping concerns which would
have caused an outlay of $1,iO0OOO, while
the actual outlay made was $4,000
"What induced the government to send
these people to Spain?" was asked.
Don't know. The terms of surrender
provided for it,"
When asked if he was ever approached
by Abner Mckinley, relative 20 the pur-
chase of ships, Col. Hecker replied:
ANGfEA Dul OllCC. ne SBOhS " hAS OiANN
about a water barge for which there was
no use at the time, and l so informed him.
l never had any other communication from
him either directly OF indirectly"
what part did the firm of which Abner
Mckinley is a member, play in the sale of
ships?" asked ex-Gov. Woodbury..
None at all as to the army" replied Col.
Hecler, Il do not know as to the navy"
The annual report of the in
spector general of the army, made
public tonight, is somewhat unique, the
experience of the war having scattered
the officers of the bureau from their reg
ular duties to the command of troops in
the field, and reduced the number Of in
spections considerably
At the same time the war brought out
results in the branch of the service devot-
ed TO military instruction in civil schools
and colleges, and makes the basis for
some interesting recommendation in this
line.
The inspector general pays a marked
compliment to the President and to the
personnel Of his department as well as
to the other branches of the government,
under whose direction the war was sue
cessfully prosecuted. He emphasizes tne
need of periodical military maneuvers, and
experimental mobilization to insure the
health and safety of the troops in actual
service. If this is omitted he declares the
most lavish expenditures, with the best
intentions and most untiring energy as a
substitute for practical skill is but a poor
makeshift
In concluding the subject of military col
leges the inspector general says that some
substantial recognition should be accord
ed the students who spend a large part OF
,aeir school life in military study, and he
recommends the election Of some of the
best of these students for appointment an
nually in the army. Such a policy, ne
says, would benefit both the students, tha
colleges and the government.

CABINET TALKS OF COLONIES.
Postal system for Cuba and New
Tariff for the Spanish Islands.


Washington, Dec. 9.-The discussion Of
The details OF the administration of gov
ernments affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines under the treaty of peace
which is about 20 be signed in Paris. oo-
eupled a large part of the time at to-
days cabinet meeting.
The establishment Of a new postal sys-
TEN in Cuba was regarded as a pressing
necessity. The present purpose is to fash
ion the new system as far as practicable
upon our own model
Cablegrams were read from Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Otis at Manila, giving
their views as TO the number of troops
that it would be necessary to keep in the
Philippines during the administration or
the military government. Further than
this, the contents of these messages were
not made public, but the Information re-
oeived, it is stated, was entirely sausfac-
tory TO the President.
An official denial is authorized that the
sale of the Philippine Islands to any other
nation has ever been considered by this
government, and it is stated that the pub
lished statements to the effect that their
sale to Japan had been under discussion
was altogether false
The cabinet also talked over an elabor-
ate tariff measure, which is now in prep
aration, TO go into effect as now p.anned,
contemporaneously with the entire relin-
quishment of the islands by the Spanish
on jan /. This tariff measure, it is said.
will show an average reduction all along
the line of about 50 per cent. from the
Spanish tariff rates. The understanding
now is that there viii be no export duties.
and that in other ways the burden of tax
alton win be reduced
Postmaster General Emory Smith re-
mained in consultation with the President
almost the entire afternoon, talking over
the scheme of postal administration OF

The 2o2nd New York to BE the First
American soldiers in the City.
Havana, Dec. 9-The first United States
troops to march through the streets of
Havana will be the Two Hundred and
Second New York Regiment which, with
a band playing and colors flying, will pro-
ceed Sunday from the San Jose wharf,
after landing there from the transport
Minnewaska through the heart of Ha-
vana to the Western Railroad station.
The line of march will be through the
Prado and Central Park. These troops
will be sent to Pinar del Rio province.
Gen. Davis. with the general headquar-
ters, staff and one battalion, will be at
Pinar del Rio city, the regimental head
quarters, and the Second Battalion will
be a Guanajay. The Third Battalion will
be stationed a Mariel, and the Higgins
signal company will be quartered at the
city Of Pinar del Rio.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press called the attention of Gen. Davis
TO The fact that he would find Cuban
troops occupying Pinar del Rio City, and
asked him what he should do.
"The authority of the United States
must be recognized as paramount" he re-
Piled, but I can see no reason why the
Cuban troops may not remain organized
as militia companies though naturally,
when the necessity for their remaining in
arms shall have passed, I suppose they
will disband. 1 have no apprehension of
trouble"
Gen. Davis said he did not intend to dis
arh the Cubans or interfere with them
unless that should be necessary to pre-
serve order
