GEN. BROOKE.
The New Military Governor of Cuba Ar
rives in Havana.

The New Military Governor of Cuba Ar
riyes in Havana
Washington, Dec. 27-Secretary AIger
has received today cablegram from
Gen. Brooke announcing his arrival at
Havana, where he will assume the post
of military governor of Cuba. The pre-
parations making by the American mil
itary commanders in Cuba to prevent
disorder in the trying times incident
to the change of sovereignty are be-
lieved by Secretary Alger to be so am
pie that there is now little reason for
apprehension. So far as the trouble OF
yesterday in Havana was concerned, he
pointed to the fact thar the fatalities
were less than those Of Christmas day
in some American cities
A long cablegram was received dur
ing the day from Gen. Otis at Manila
describing the situation there. It's con
tents We're not made public, but it is
known that he mentions no outbreak
This gives a negative encouragement to
the officials, though it is apprehended
that Gen. Otis is meeting with difficulty
in securing the release of Spanish pris-
oners, which he was charged to effect.

A NEWTON SENSATION.
Ex-superintenden of Water Works Ar
rested, Charged With Enbezzlement.

Newton Dec. 27.-The arrest tonight
of Horatio Nelson Hyde, until few
days ago superintendent of the Newton
water works. has produced a sensation
seldom equalled in this vicinity. The
allegations are embezzlement and the
obtaining of money under false pre-
fences when occupying his official po-
sition. The warrant was issued, it is
understood. at the request of the water
commissioners after a cursory eXami-
nation of the departments books and
pay rolls The amount of the alleged
embezzlement is unknown, but it is
said the pay rolls have been padded.
The resignation OF Mr.. Hyde as SUPER
intendent Of the department was
brought about at request from Mayor
Cobb.

Barkei's Fleet Must Await Further Orders
Before Going On to Manila.


Washington, Dec. 27.--Orders have
been cabled by the navy department to
Capt. Barker of the Oregon, the senior
and commanding officer of the little
fleet of battleships and supply vessels
now at Callao, to remain at that port
until Jan, 10 next. 1t appears that the
vessels never had orders to proceed
either to Manila or to Honolulu,
though it was the purpose of the navy
department when they started from
New York 70 make Manila their desti-
nation. 1t was impossible, however, to
order them to that place without being
guilty of breach of the spirit of the
agreement between the United States
and Spain providing for the suspension
of hostiiities.
Therefore, it was understood that the
ships were to go to Honolulu, there to
receive orders which were to carry
them TO Manila. Capt. Barker will
probably receive orders by cable before
Jan. -.

attack of grip contracted about a week
ago. The venerable senator was con-
fined to his home but seven days.
Despite his advanced age he attended
his senatorial duties faithfully and reg
ularly went to the capitol About ten
days ago the weather here was cold,
raw and foggy, and his physician thinks
that exposure to it's rigors brought on
the attack Of grip. The day before
congress adjourned for the Christmas
holidays, the senator was unable to
leave his residence. He grew no better
as the days went on, his low vitality
due to advanced age being unable to
resist the disease. On Christmas night
it developed into pneumonia, and from
that time until the end he sank stead
lily.
No definite funeral arrangements have
yet been made. 1t is altogether likely
that public services will be held in the
Senate chamber, but just when cannot
now be stated
The remains of Mrs. Morrill,, who died
during the present year, are now in
vault at Rock Creek cemetery, near
this city, and it may be that the sena-
tors body will be deposited there, pend
ing removal to Stratford, VT, where
nausoleum is now in course of con-
struction.

In the death of justin smith MOrfIlli
the Senate lost it's senior member in
point of service, and its oldest in years,
for he had served continuously in the
Senate for more than 81 years, and he
was eighty-eight years of age on the
14th day of April last. With the single
exception of Galusha Grow Of the House
of Representatives, he was the only
man in congress whose congressional
career began prior to the beginning of
the civil war and he had the honor
over Mr. Grow in that his congressional
service had been continuous, covering,
in the Senate and House combined, al
most A years.
Mr.. Morrill, was a native of Vermont,
He was first elected to the House from
the state as a member of the 34th con-
gress, taking his seat at the first as
sambling of that body after the 4th
of March, 1855. He was reelected to
the 35th, 36th. STth, 3Sth and 39th con-
crosses, and was in 1867 elected to the
Senate to succeed Luke p. Poland.
He had held his seat in the Senate since
that date without interruption, having
been elected six times successfully. His
present term, for which he was chosen
in 1896, would not have expired until
1908
Previous to entering congress- Mr..
Morrill, had been engaged in mercantile
and agricultural pursuits, and much of
his public life was devoted to the up
lifting of interests dependent upon
these lines Of business He had received
in his youth an academic education,
and from his early days ne was a close
reader and careful analyst OF public
affairs.
1T was at the beginning of the war
that Mr.. Molrill's practical business
training first brought him forward as a
man of national reputation. He was
the author of the Morrill, tariff act OF
1861, which was the basis of all the
tariff legislation of war times. In 1864
he became chairman of the committee
of ways and means the principal COM
mittee of the house and at that critical
time of especial Importance. After en-
tering the Senate Mr. Morrill, continued
to give his attention largely to finan-
cial and commercial questions, and
during the greater part of his term Of
service he was a member of the COM
mittee on finance. which committee
deals especially with these subjects.
He became chairman of this committee
in 1877, succeeding Senator Sherman
when the latter entered the cabinet of
President Hayes, and he held this posi-
ton continuously after that date, ex-
cept during the 46th and SD congresses,
when the democratic party controlled
the Senate and during those intervals
he continued at the head Of the re-
