Just now General Brooke is consider
ing the publication of an order designed
to check untruthful and violent criti-
cism of the military government. Should
the order be issued IT would merely call
attention, by reproducing them, to the
existing libel laws under the Spanish
code. which provides abundant meth
DDS of discouraging immoderate utter
ances. The propriety of censoring
explosive newspapers, suppressing
meetings and foTcibly disarming the
Cubans has been considered, but such
policy has been laid aside definitely as
being unwise and impolitic. There is
no present purpose to use any repres-
sive measures. Everybody will be al

TroubIesome Cuban Veterans.

Members of the late Cuban military
assembly and other discontented pef-
sons belonging to the new revolution
agy- club styled the Veterans associa-
ton met at Cerro Monday night and
INDUCED in a prolonged debate on the
question of the Cuban troops surren-
dering their arms. One group was in
favor of entrusting the arms to the
brigade chiefs or Cuban municipalities
Another group was opposed altogether
to surrendering the arms, saying it
might be necessary to use them
against American pretensions." Tele-
grams from all the provinces We're read
opposing giving up the arms. The So
called weakness of General Maxine Go
mez was contrasted with Aguinaldo's
patriotic courage" No decision was
reached. Such meetings as the one just
held at Cerro would be regarded in a
less inilammatory community as omin-
Gus. and outside observers might think
Cuba is on the verge of insurrection.
Public feeling in Havana is certainly
excited, but those whose judgment is
worth most consider the agitation to be
superficial and to consist merely of
phrasings which will never lead to an
overt act

Havana, May 1.-THE arms question
as related to the matter of distributing
the $1,000. 900 to the Cuban soldiers is
settled, so il is said, by an agreement
on the part of General Brooke that the
Cubans may deposit their arms with
the municipalities. instead of with ar
senals under direct control of the
United States army. The Cuban army.
which is really represented-althoug
many dispute the authority-by Cen
eral Gomez, is particularly bitter
against General Brooke and his policy.
The soldiers declare they have been
miserably fooled and trapped by the
Americans. They look upon the ex-
change of a gun for S75 as an ignomin-
ieus transaction for them. as they have
not been defeated by Americans, and
consequently they refuse to exchange
Governor General Brooke will now go
ahead as inoffensively as possible in
the disbursement of the 100000. This
cannot begin, however. until next week.

The manifesto which General Gomez
is preparing to issue will not only re-
view his own position as to the pay

Will direct the forces to disband. Fol-
lowing its publication Governor Gem
eral Brooke will issue a modified order
eliminating the necessity for the par
ticipation of any Cuban commissioner
in the distribution of the So, OOO. 600. The
governor general regards Gomez as
having acted sincerely throughout, and
believes that his withdrawal from the
question of the distribution to an atti-
tude of friendly inactivity has been
forced upon him by the desertion OF
those generals upon whom he had re-
lied.

an drove up to the home of H. H. Luke,
corner of First and Main streets, with
little boy about four years Of age. There
was no one at the Luke home but the
children, but the woman evidently
thought they could attend to the matter
as we'll as anyone and said she was
going to leave the boy with them and
would pay his board every week. She
instructed them not to allow anyone to
take him and not to take him away from
Norfolk, aud then went away, and when
Mr.. and Mrs. Luke came home they
found the new boarder. They received
no word from the woman until few
days ago, when she finally sent some
money for his board after repeated re-
quests and threats from the Luke fam
lily. The woman claims to live in Holt
county and left that as her address.
The boy says he has brothers and sisters
and gives his name as Clarence. Part
of the time he gives his last name as
Macy and other times as Meyers 1t is
rather strange way to dispose of a
child, to say the least. The woman
may be canvassing or working for liv-

which case she is probably doing the
best she can by him. But naturally
other suspicious arise and it has been in
timated that she may have no right to

The finding of the Lincoln board is as
follows:
"If the people of Norfolk are entitled
