OF Cuba.

Washington, Dec. a. -Major-Gen-
Brooke arrived in Washington from
Fortress Monroe yesterday, and was
closeted more than an hour with Secre-
tary Alger. lie then, in company with
Adiutant-General Corbin, proceeded to
the White House, and when he return
ed to the war department it was for
maliy announced that the president
had designated him to be military gov
ernor of the island of Cuba, a new post
which carried with it control over the
military and civil branches of the
island formerly exercised by the cap
tang general under the Spanish regime.
Each of the six provinces will have
its own military governor, just as Gen
cral Wood is now military governor of
the province of Santiago, but all OF
these will receive their instructions di-
rectly from Major-Gencral Brooke, who
is in supreme authority of the island.
Thus, in Havana, General Ludlow
will be governor of the city, but an
swerable to General Lee, the governor
of the province of Havana, who, in
turn, will be answerable to Major-Gen-
eral Brooke, the governor of the

( with the mother at Townsville, and
Colonel Carlos Garcia, another son, is
IN Cuba. A daughter, Leonora, who
married an American, is now living in
Paris. General Garcia's mother is still
alive and resides in Havana.
Gen. Garcia, whose name will be
ever linked with those of other patriots
who have fought against unequal odds
for the freedom of his country, was a
man of culture and refinement, of
splendid education and came from
distinguished family of Jaequani, Of
Santiago de Cuba province. He was
born in Cogquin, October 10, 1889, and
was therefore in his Goth year of his
age. Gen. Garcia was educated in Ha-
vana and in Spain. In 1864 he was
married to Isabel Velez.
Gen. Garcia was the original con-
spirator in the uprising of the Cubans
against Spain in 1868, and in that war,
under Gomez, he attained the rank of
Brigadier- General.
For his participation in the revolu-
tionary movement Gen. Garcia was
sent to Spain, where for four years he
was confined in castles and. fortresses,
remaining there until the peace of Ian
Jon. He then returned to the United
States, and, together with Jose Marti,
attempted another revolution. He
landed in Cuba with few followers,
but the country was tired of war and
wanted to try the home rule offered by
Spain. He capitulated to the Spanish
forces 10 order to save his few remain
ing followers and was again banished
to Spain in 1880, where he remained

rior and leader, and the head of the
commission elected by the Cuban As
sembly to visit this country, died here
this morning shortly after 10 o'clock

his busy and active life, his thong hts

irrational mutterings in which he gave
orders to his son, who is on his staff,
