GENERAL BROOKE 10 THE MAN.
Army Officers Crlticise His Course in
Managing Affairs in Cuba.

Washington, May 26.-Army officers
who have returned recently from Cuba
are inclined to criticism Of General
Brooke's administration of affairs, and
some do not hesitate to express their
minds freely and assert hat another
officer should be detailed as military
governor of the island. The chief COM
plant is that General Brooke has an
tagonized the Cuban factions and has
not displayed tao or diplomacy in
handling the d~iscordant elements. He
is said to be lacking in firmness, and it
is alleged that if he had treated the
Cubans with less consideration, many
OF the difficulties he has encountered
would have been obviated.
1t is claimed that the whole trouble
over the distribution of the $1,000. 900 to
the Cuban soldiers has been precipitat-
ed by INSCRIPTIONS persons who had
expected to be the chief beneficiaries OF
this governments generosity, and, fail
ing in this, endeavored to foment dis
cord with certain elements. In the
event that General Brooke should be
recalled it is possible General Ludlow
would be placed in charge. General
Merritt prefers his present station at
Governors Island and does not care for
foreign duty.

five story Hygeia hotel, including thea

1t was nearly 8 O'Clock a. M, when

last hope of those south CT

taught the police what kind of crooks
they had to deal with.
So far as known only four persons
were injured or burned, and all will re-
cover. Deputy Battalion Chief Kirk
patrick says he is convinced that the
fire is of incendiary origin. He ar
rives at this conclusion, owing to the
fact that the flames broke out in two
different parts of the sland at about
the same time, both places being diff
cult of access so far as fire engines are
concerned, and from the fact that upon
his arrival he found traces of kerosene
oil along the board walks and around
both houses where the fires originated.

PAY To Il SOLDIERS
To Begin TOday-The Strike Becoming
SeriOus-EditOrs to be Held Liable for
DefamatOry Articles.


Havana, May 26.-The distribution
of the $4,000, 900 which the United
| States government offered as a gratuity
to the Cuban troops on disbanding and
surrendering their arms will begin at
10 O'Clock tomorrow at the foot of the
prado. Under the swollen muster rolls
prepared by the late Cuban military
assembly, the Americans, who have
| closely followed the subject are curious
to see what proportion of the numbers
listed will actually appear.
At a meeting of the Veterans of In
| dependence last night a resolution de-
claring against either giving UP arms
Or accepting money from the United
| States was carried unanimously.
The strike of the lightermen, in the
| opinion of Admiral Cromwell, captain
| of the port, and the principal shippers,
is fast assuming serious proportions.
| G. Lawton Childs, agent of the Plant
| Line, was notified today that the ste
| vedores in his company's employ had
| joined the srike, giving as their rea-
| son their sympathy with the others
and the orders of the trade union.
The general opinion is that the strike
is absolutely without justification. The
men have been earning good wages,
| from $50 to $50 a month. The Difficult
ty involves also the importation of men
from Florida, as happened five years
| ago. Trouble has been brewing for
| some time, but no n could explain
! the cause, as the lightermen have all
| along been the best paid body Of men
| engaged in manual labor in Havana.
Governor General Brooke has a de-
| cree ready to be issued, making editors
and publishers responsible for libals.
| The Spanish law made the writer of an
article alone responsible and, therefore,
every Havana editor has a hired sub
stitute, paid to sign articles Of a defam-
atory character. This substitute is usu-
ally a longtime Jail bird, VINO for
money enough to make Imprisonment
easy, will sign anything.

and Dude Preachers.
Minneapolis, Mimi, May 26.-It took
theA general assembly of the Presbyte-
rian church longer to decide today
when the Nineteenth century ends than
it took to pass the resolutions against
the Mormon congressman, Roberts, and
in favor of the anti-polygamy amend
ment to the national constitution.
These resolutions, which represent the
matured thought of the Presbyterans
of the United States after many
months of consideration, so exactly ex-
press the sentiment of every commits
sioner that they were adopted without
even a single supporting speech.
The commissioners generally feel that
in calling for the expulsion of Roberts,
and for the adoption of an amendment
to the national constitution defining
legal marriage to be monogamic, they
have started a movement which will
be taken up all over the country and
will reach eventual success.
The committee on Sabbath observance
offered and the assembly, adopted an ad-
ditional resolution calling upon "all
office bearers and members who are
employers of labor to exert themselves
to reduce the amount of Sabbath labor,
and condemn that policy Of manage
ment which makes it obligatory upon
the laborer to choose between dismis-
sal and Sunday labor"
DIR. John w. Dinsmore, chairman Of
the standing. committee on theological
seminaries, turned in an exhaustive
review of those institutions The re-
port was something Of a roast for
dude ministers, and it was limited that
the lives of many theological students
are too luxurious. DR.. Dinsmore fol-
lowered the report with a speech in

berths.
