LAKES IF he DESIRES
Washington. Dec. 2i.-When Major General
Brooke relieved from duty in command Of the
Division OF Cuba he instructed TO proceed to
Washington and report 10 the Adjutant General
for further orders Of the Secretary OF War. As a
result OF correspondence between General Brooke
and Secretary Root, the General has been author
ICED to suit his convenience in the execution
OF his orders. the idea being to allow him to make
the trip from Havana to Washington by easy
stages.
General Brooke has been in tropical climate for
nearly two years. and as he is almost sixty-four
years old It has been deemed best for the protec-
ton Of his health TO permit him to accustom HIM
self gradually 10 the winter climate Of this country
by short stops before coming to Washington IL is
therefore likely that he will not reach this city
much before February !. il Is said at the War De-
partment that his future assignment 10 duty will
depend mainly his wishes He can have
his old command. the Department OF the Lakes at
Chicago, IL he wishes it. That command will be-
come vacant next month by the retirement OF Cen
cral Anderson. the incumbent.
