members of the generals staff as military
governor of Cuba, left yesterday afternoon
for Havana The party will take
steamer at Miami
Gen Brooke was seen at the hotel yes
terday by a representative OF the Morning
News, but he could give no information
relative to his actions on his arrival at
the Cuban capital. He said he did not
know just when or how the transfer by
the Spaniards to the Americans would be
made. 1t was evident that the general
did not feel in a position to talk about the
matter. He was asked If he expected to
receive orders directing his procedure af-
ter his arrival on the island. Upon this
question, as upon the others, he was re-
ticent, prefering to ask questions about
Savannah views over which he was look

he may have known about Cuba coming
under the protection OF the United States.
Gen. Brooke and the members of his
party spent nearly a week in Savannah.
They arrived last Saturday, when IL was
found necessary to stop over until yester-
day, owing 90 Gen. Brooke's health. He
had been suffering from an attack of
fever, and it was not deemed advisable
for him to continue his journey until after
he had stopped a while to recover his
health. Yesterday he was quite wel and
spoke of expecting a pleasant trip.

SWIMMING CONTEST.
Pupils at the Rel Bridge Bath House
Will Participate.
Good Work Done There 10 Iustructing
Boys How to Swim.

At this time of the year and particu-
larly when muggy weather prevails. the
public bath houses are resorted to by
large numbers OF men and boys. and
| there is no doubt that these institu-
tions are accomplishing and have ac-
complished great deal Of good, and
have had direct tendency to preserve
the health of many persons. Provi-
tdence has only two public bath houses.
both on the Seekonk. one at Red Bridge
and the other at Washington bridge.
which is hardly sufficient for the needs
of the city.
A News man paid visit to the Red
bridge bath house today. and was very
courteously received by Mr.. James His
cox, who has charge of the house. Mr.
Hisccx said that during the entire sea-
son last year the total number OF men
and boys who used the house was 9.179,
of which 1892 were men and 15,2S7 were
boys. There were also a large number
OF women and girls who used the house
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
afternoons, but no record of them was
kept. /.
This summer so far 1867 men and
boys have used the house, and a great
deal has been done in the direction of
teaching the boys to swim. "A swim
ming class OF 46 members, between the
ages OF and 16 years, has been hard
at work all summer, and all are good
swimmers now, whereas. Mr.. Hiscox
says, none could swim when the house
was opened. 1t is notable that 13 MEM
bers OF this swimming class are resi-
dents of Pawtucket, which city has no
public bathing house.
CIR. Hiscox has inaugurated a SWIM
ming contest, which is to take place on
Labor Day at l p. m, and there Is a
great deal OF interest manifested among
the contestants. In order to qualify to
enter the contest Mr.. Hiscox decided
that the swimmer must swim around
the tank 100 times. making a distance
OF two and half miles. Those who
accomplished this. with the time oc-
cupied, were Arthur May. In. 25m.;
Orrin Babbitt. In. 22m.: Edward Ca
prom, III. 9%m.; Arthur Rich, In. 45m.:
John Baldwin, In. 9m. protested be-

The contest on Labor Day will be
known as a long distance contest. and
will be from the float at Cable Cottage,
across the river and back. and so on.
the swimmer who holds out the longest
to receive the first prize, a suit of
clothes or a gold medal, donated by a
local clothing house. The second prize
is an athletic suit. donated by fur
nishing goods store. There promises to
be great deal of sport over the affair,
and Mr.. Hiscox expects there will be
large number of spectators
The public bath houses are kept open
daily. except Sunday, from z a. m. to
z p. m, and on Sundays from s a. IN. TO
2 p. m, for men only. Mr.. Hiscox says
he maintains discipline among the boys. |
and those that are unruly are punished
by being kept out OF the house, and this
Is indeed a severe punishment for them. |

Again his brother sprang at him.
This time he threw him to the ground
and held him there with his grasp firm
upon his throat.
Don't Bill, old fellow, for Gods

what relaxed the grip on his throat.
II didn't mean no harm by it-honest
didn't. l won't do it no more. What
are you goin' to do with that rope, Bill2
You're not goin' to kill your poor, no

Without word Bill and his attend
ants continued wrapping the rope
around Joe. Then they stood him up
beside tree and tied him to it 80 that

the other, the strong one, was doubled

were tyin' him2" asked some one as
they walked away.
"Dogged if know" said Bill. "Did
he?'
Hardly had they left when Jim Smith
came up and at once began to unite the
ropes.
"Don'tl" said Joe. "Bill will be

At the appointed time Bill saddled
his pony and rode off to where Joe was.
"i'n take the boss so that if Joe's
ready by now he can start out after
May and bring her back. 1 rather guess
he's ready by now, too. Maybe we'll
get to eat a weddin' dinner to-day

After some time had elapsed and

poor fellow to choke to death. OF
course Jim lost no time in rousing the
quasi wedding guests and in telling the
real facts about May. 1t is not the first
instance in the history of the world
when a man has had the truth told
about him too late to do him any good.
A pursuing party was out after Bill at
once, but all to no avail. Some say lie
