TO SUPPLANT MILITARY OFFICERS.
Changing Some Features of Cuban
Government Being Considered.

The administration is contemplating a
change in some features of the government
of Cuba. 1t is probable that the military
government will, to a certain extent, be
replaced by civil government. The head of
the government must, of course, remain
military, but the change in contemplation
is to have civil officers in place of the mill
tary men in the cabinet and subordinate
positions. 1t is believed that civilian eX-
perts in different lines, such as finance and
revenue, and in the management of much
of the business of the island and the differ
ent municipalities, will get along more
smoothly than the army officers. 1t is said
that the officers, being brought UP under
strict military discipline, hold not only the
statutes, but the rules and regulations as
the guide in all things, while the civilian
officers would hold the statutes the su-
preme guide and endeavor to get along
under them in the best manner possib e
and with more tact and diplomacy than
pursued by the army men.
1t is not known whether the proposed
change has reached a point further than
discussion with the President, but it's ad-
vantages have been pointed out, and the
authority of the government to establish
such a civil government under control of
the military government has been con-
ceded.

Opposition to the Administration.

1t is pointed out that Mr. Reed was op-
posed to the annexation of Hawaii. which
the administration favored; that he was at
no time sympathetic with the administra-
tion's Cuban policy; that he opposed the
acquisition of the Philippines and of Porto
Rico, and was unfriendly to the army re-
organization on a permanent basis: that
he opposed the Nicaragua canal which is
regarded as essential to the development of
the expansion policy, and the Pacific cable
being responsible for the defeat of both
1t is suggested that his opposition thus
disclosed to the general policy of the ad-
ministration will be almost certain to hin
der action If he Is Speaker Of the
next House, and that, moreover, his great
power and prominence encourages the de-
velopment of an anti-administraton fac
ton in the party along almost the same
lines of opposition, save on the money
question, those adopted by the followers
of w. J. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS anti-army,
anti almost everything that the admins
tration is for Moreover. it is asserted that
even on the money question Mr.. Reed s
plans differ from those of the administra
ton.

rioting and shooting at people, houses and
cattle along the railroad. During the few
minutes that the train stopped here there
was drinking and disorder among the men
Several shots were fired at the ground or
into the air. All along the route their con-
duct was the same. A dispatch from Hen
derson tonight says:
THE 10th Immunes, negro troops passed
today over the Seaboard Air Line They
shot at private houses and school children.
Several men We're wounded. The officers

ment, was seen by a representative of the

ed ahead in the morning that he desired to
make a statement in regard to the shooting
affair at Griffin, Ga. He said:
Col. Jones' Statement.
I'VE struck Griffin, Ga, about o'clock
yesterday afternoon. 1 don't think there
were more than a dozen revolvers in the
hands Of the men. When we pulled out
Of Vinevilie there was some shooting in
the air from the train. The men were full
of good spirits and had intention to
harm any one. No shots were fired when
We went into the town of Griffin. I was
surprised to find men lined up either
side OF the depot About fifty of them
wore uniforms. / inquired what the trOu
bic was, and was told that the first sec
ton had been disorderly and the citizens
wanted to protect themselves.
Il told my men to be quiet, and they
were obedient and there was no disorder.
The train stopped about five minutes. The
train had pulled out about go yards when
some of the men in the forward part OF
the train fired some shots.
Tine militia then fired into the rear car.

THE action of the militia in Griffin was
the most cowardly that 1 have ever seen
human beings guilty of. Had they fired
into the car from which the one shot was
fired, it would have been bad enough, but
to fire Volley into a car when the officer
who had charge of the men who fired the
volley knew there We're ladies in the car
who were unable to protect themselves, and
who had not been guilty of any breach of

Department viii Take No Action.

Despite repeated rumors to the contrary,
the War Department has no intention of
taking official action in the case of the 10Th
Regiment of Immunes and other regiments
that have had trouble in transit through
the south since their disc charge,
In contravention of the story that a court
of inquiry was to be appointed to inquire
into the matter it is pointed out by the Off
eiaiS of the department that the men who
have been making the trouble are not SOL
GlerS of the United States any more than if
they had never been in the service. They
had been mustered out and were private
citizens in the fullest sense of the term.
The local authorities have power to deal
with them wherever they violate the law
and the War Department has neither power
nor inclination to interfere in the matter.
The only result of the trouble that is likely
SO far as the department is concerned is
that hereafter all returning troops will
probably be taken to their own state in q
body and mustered out there instead of be-
ing turned loose at the point of embarka-
tion with several months of military repres-
sion to be worked off in conviviality and
impromptu shooting matches.
