SPECIAL CABINET.
General Brooke Will Have the Assis-
 tance of One

Washington, December 91.-The war de- partment has come to the conclusion that it will be necessary to afford General Brooke, military governor of Cuba. the assistance of a special cabinet, approaching in functions the late autonomous cabinet of Cuba, in the administration of the civil affairs of the island.
 One of the most difficult question to be solved at short notice by the war depart ment relates to the collection of taxes in Cuba. The importance of this subject will be realized from the statement just made to the war department that there are taxes to the amount of $1. 900 900 already due and uncollected, while by the end of the cur rent fiscal year the arrears will be $4 900 900. Methods are under consideration to collect these taxes.
