1t is stated that the division viii be
under the co.arand Of Major General
Wade, and that it is now the purpose thar
he shall remain IN command of the de-
partment of Havana Il was urged
in certain quarters of the War Depart
ment that though the name OF Gen. Lee
had been most identified with the COM
mand TO be stationed about Havana, It
was considered wiser to have IN COM
mand an officer who would go in clear of
the preJudices, which might be some
what of handicap to Gen. Lee. who
made enemies as well as friends while he
was consul general.
No decision has been reached as to the
governor generalship. Gen. Lawton will
remain in command of Santiago district,
and it is not unlikely that Gen. Lee Will
be given command of the department of
Santa Clara, but this is not yet determin-
ed upon. The names of Wilson, Haw-
kins, and Kent also have been consider
ed, but there is good reason for saying
that Gen Wade has been recommended
by Gen. Miles for the command of the
department of Havana.
Here is the text of the order, as COM
| pleted by Gen. Miles:
