They Are Dissnfisficd With General
Methods.

Havana. June 27.-At a meeting held
yesterday at the Union club. an i'm
portant organization, including some
Of the best people in Havana. political
matters were discussed. Among those
present were several anpointees of
Gov. Gen. Brooke. but they took no
part i'm the discussion. One speaker,
a Cuban officer, took up a great deal
Of the time of the meeting. He said
Gen. Brooke was following a wrong
purse in giving politicians govern
ment positions, while military men are
getting nothing. .'This method" he
declared, ..will eventually lead to
trouble. Those who defended the
country deserve recognition and will
tire Of being ignored"
Another speaker said:
Only those having Influence with
Secretary Alger, through Washington
connections, are able TO secure APP
pciLtments, and there are some OF
these who were o in Cuba during
the war;
A prominent Havana club was the
scene of a disturbance last night be-
tween Two very well known Cubans
ana several American officers. all Of
whom had been drinking. The Gu
bans began cursing the American adj
m~inistration, President Mckinley. the
United States tsoeps and their officers.
Finally one u tie American officers,
thoroughly c I OF patti e, struck a
Cuban in tn face. The latter de-
manded a duel. but the former only
laughed ar him. The Cuban called for
a gun and said he would shoot his as
sailant anyway. AT this ~juncture a
n..rty OF Americans and Cubans inter-
Tered and sent the disturbers about
tneir business. An hour later some
Crbans returned and began demand
ing satisfaction, but the Americans
had left the club. The CubaEs. who
are prominent in local society. have
no political importance whatever.
