To Be Called to Washington 10 Consult
With the War Department.
Secretary Root Desires to Have tho
edge of Things in the Island Be-
fore He Reaches ANY Definite
Conclusions as to the Future
Policy for Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-General
Brooke viii be called to Washington to-
consult with Secretary Root concerning
affairs in Cuba, The Secretary desires
to have the benefit of General Brooke's
knowledge of things in the island be-
fore he reaches any definite conclusions
as to a future policy for Cuba
No date has been fixed for General
Brooke's visit. but it will no doubt be
determined by the development of the
situation. and before the Secretary be-
gins his annual report to the depart
ment.
Colonel Kennon of the Thirty-fourth
Infantry, recently appointed, but who
has been on duty at Havana as Assist
ant Adjutant General, had a long cons
ference with Secretary Root to-day.i
Colonel kennon so impressed President /,
Mckinley with the information he
brought from Havana that the Presi- I
dent thought it advisable that he
should talk with Secretary Root. Colo
mel Kennon assured both the President
and Secretary that the course which
General Brooke was pursuing met with
general approval and was of that care
full and conservative nature required by
the conditions in the island II was
necessary to make radical changes. but
the policy of the General has been to
make the old fit the new with as little
friction as possible.
AS to elections in Cuba. Colonel Ken
non told the Secretary that he thought
the time was still somewhat distant
when they could be held to advantage.
BY a provision in the peace treaty. the
Spanish residents in the island were
given one year in which to declare their
preference as to citizenship. Elections
could not be held. he said, until after
the year elapsed, in justice to this
class. The desirability of leaving the
matter open was apparent, said Colonel
Kennon, because a large proportion of
the property was owned by Spanish
subjects, and if it could be demon
strated to them that they are interest
ed in becoming Cuban citizens, it were
better for the future of the islands
Colonel Kennon said that the people
of Cuba were fast coming to the con-
clusion that the interests of all would
bd best subserved by the people accept
ing Cuban citizenship, and by Cuban
and Spaniards acting in harmony, and
while they do not mix we'll at pres
ent, the feeling of irritation is wearing
away. 1Jie ildlleT VI SullIdSS 10 Oic.
the Colonel said. that must be carefully
considered The disadvantage which a
great portion of the people have been
under, and which has prevented them
from being educated. will make it ex-
tremely hazardous to grant universal
suffrage when the time comes for hold
ing an election.
Secretary Root was very much grati-
fed with the information which Colonel
Kennon conveyed.
The Secretary has been receiving a
great mass of documents and data upon
Cuba and Porto Rico. Some of the
alleged facts are diametrically opposed
to each other. and the Secretary is
now trying to reconcile the differences
and sift the truth.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15-A special to the

Military operations in the Yaqui VAL
ley eliminated on Friday in series
of engagements and the entire rout and
dispersal of the Indians. The Yal1i

forces at Vicam, on the south bank.
General Torres began offensive opera

gagement the Indians fled, leaving
thirty dead on the field. The Mexican
loss was ten dead and twenty-five
wounded.
General Torres returned to Orrin for

son of the well-known artist, obtained
from the Government a permit to en-
ter M. Guerin's house and advise him
to surrender at discretion, assuring him
that no one doubted his courage, but
that he ought not to compromise
human life at stake.

similar permit, visited M. Guerin at ,

Rousseau. In the course of an inter-
view afterward M. Lasces denied that
he was in charge of any negotiations
or represented either side. He said
he was simply acting on his own re-
sponsibility because he was anxious to
avoid strife

that the matter will be arranged to-
morrow. M. Guerin and his friends are
sleepless nights and the momentary ex-
pectation of a police coup. I have sue
ceeded in obtaining an assurance from
NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau that they will
not be disturbed tonight, and may get
needful repose. Tomorrow I shall see
the Premier, and arrange terms by
which NJ Guerin and his associates
shall constitute themselves prisoners.
The Premier is not intractible, and will
doubtless grant their wish to be treated
with indulgence, and M. Geurin's re-
quest to be allowed to surrender at the
police depot, instead of being arrested
in the Rue Chabro1. I may say that 1

but also in the name of NJ Drumont." :"

accompanied by demonstrations and
