FIGURING ON CUBA'S FUTURE.
General Brooke viii Not BE Governor
Long.

Washington, Nov. lathe presi-
dents desire is to have Cuban self-gov-
eminent in operation at once so that
congress may be enabled to observe its
practical workings, and be aided there
by to frame laws for the permanent
government of the island. In any
event, the end of Brooke's term as gov
ernor general is close at hand. The
department commanders will remain
for while, to be ultimately super
seded by civil governors, if the plan
works well, but the governor general
will go. Nor is there any prospect
that Brooke will exchange the govern
or generalship for the position of civil
governor. That officer, it is under
stood, will be either General Ludlow,
General Wood or General Wilson.
General Fitzhugh Lee is also advocated
for the post. After the appointment
of the civil governor portion of the
army will be withdrawn, but how,
large a portion has not been decided
upon. If Cuba does get self-govern-
ment it will be mainly due to Secre-
tary Root. He has urged the substitu-
ton of civil for military government
ever since he entered the cabinet and
has been the prime mover in the cause
of self-government.

KANSAS SUPREME COURT.
A Number Of Cases Decided Which
People Have Been Watching.
M0STlNTERESTING DECISIONS.

Topeka, Nov. 14.-Among decisions
handed down by the supreme court, is
the case from lola involving the taxa
ton of dogs by city ordinance. The
defense was that the dog in the case
was personal property and should be
taxed as such. The court held that
the tax must be paid. This ends the
quarrels over the question of the dog
tax.
A man was sentenced to the peniten
tiary for burglary. He stole chickens
was braced against the chicken house
door. The lower court found him
guilty of burglary for removing the
prop. The supreme court sustained
the lower court.
The court holds that payment OF
money for policy to an agent of an
insurance company is literally a pay
ment to the company itself, and holds
that the company is Immediately liable
there being no diffe renee as to the To-
cation of the money; in the hands of
the agent or in the treasury of the
company in another state.
The Topeka city court bill was de-
clared to have been legally passed by
the legislature and to be constitution
al 1t was claimed that the law was
not passed regularly. The court held
that the bill having been duly enrolled
aud approved by the governor, its va
lidity cannot be impeached except by
evidence of the clearest and most un-
doubted character.
In the Faloon-Stuart judgeship case
the court held that the senate had no
authority to declare the Office of judge
vacant. 1t held that the only way a
Judge could be ousted was by two
thirds vote Of both houses of the legis-
lature, and not by a majority vote of
the legislature. In other words, a
judge mnst be impeached. The senate
started out to try contest. It wound
up by declaring that Stuart was elected
on the face of the returns, but claimed
he was not entitled to the Office because
be gave a man cigar few days be-
fore election, in violation of the election
law. 1t issued an order ousting him,
but he held on. The supreme court
held that the action of the senate did
not operate to create vacancy or to re-
move the judge from office. The opin-
ion was unanimous.
The court held the screen law con-
stitutional, the law of 1897 prohibiting
the screening of coal before it is
weighed
An appeal will be taken to the Uni
ted States supreme court on the consti-
tutional question as to whether the act
interferes with the right contract.

Thr landing of the American troops
was the most spectacular affair of its
kind since General Skaters disem-
barkation at Daiquiri. The co-opera-

terrific bombardment for an hour while
the troops rushed waist deep through

aimed rifle fire from the insurgent
trenches, and charged right and left.

In Which He Wishes to Make

Notices That There Are 43, 900
Subscribers to the Fund.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Admira1 Dewey
has elected to accept a house in Wash
in8ton already constructed instead of
having one built for his occupation. In
accordance with the invitation of the
committee which has had in charge the
Dewey home work, he called at the Of
flee of Acting Secretary Allen in the
navy department at IL o'clock today to
indicate his preferences in the matter
of a residence. There were present be-
sides Mr.. Allen, Assistant Secretary
Vanderlip, Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Heath and General Corbtn. The
admiral was officially informed Of the
purpose of the people of the United
States to present him with a home in
Washington. He frankly expressed his
qualification at the tender, which he
Immediately accepted.
He said had the proposed home been
the gift of a few wealthy men he should
feel indiSpOsed to accept it. But he
noted that the fund had over 43 900 sub
scribers, indicating that the home was
to be really the gift of the American
people and as such he would accept it
with as much pleasure as he had the
sword bestowed upon him by congress.
He then talked upon the location of the
residence.
The admiral showed a decided pref
erence for the section in which he had
made his home during his former de-
tails of duty in Washington. He wish
west section, somewhere west of Six
teenth street and not too far north,
thus indicating the neighbOrhOod of his
former residence and the clubs where
he had spent a good deal of his lei
sure time First of all he wanted the
house at the earliest possible moment
so that he might go in and hang up
his hat at Once,'' as he put it. OF
course that precIuded the idea of erect
ing a house to meet his special needs.
He expressed his ideas as to the char
acter of the home he desires and asked
that the house be modest enough in ap-
pointments and cost to permit of the
retention of a sufficient sum of money
from the purchase fund to defray the
expense of furnishing it.
The committee listened attentively
to all of these wishes and saw no rea-
son why each and all could not be
granted. The admiral is going to New
York tonight or tomorrow and will stop
over if he can TO see the yacht races on
his way to Shelburne Farm, N Y He
expects to return to Washington in the
course of a week. Meanwhile the COM
mittee having invited written proposals
Of properties, will go through the list
carefully and hope to be able to pres
ent to the admiral on his return as
many as half a dozen available houses
from which he may make a personal
selection. The fund at the disposal of
the committee now amounts to about
$4,000 and it is earnestly desired that
this sum may be substantially increased
during the time remaining before the
DurchaSe
