Cuban Leaders Causing Trouble.

The sullen disposition of the Cuban lead
ers is causing apprehension at Washington.
The government having demanded the
surrender of arms before the $4,000, 200
can be distributed toithe soldiers, the gen
erals, in meeting, have resolved that it
would be shameful for the Cubans to sur
render their arms for a money considera-
ton. 1t is feared the leaders have in
mind the possibility of revolt.
Gen. Maxine Gomez informed Gov. Gen.
Brooke on Monday that he could no longer
act as representative of the Cuban army in
the distribution of the $4,000, 900 appropri-
ated for the payment of the Cuban troops.
Gen. Gomez added that he had arrived
at this decision with great reluctance and
with the most friendly feelings toward
Gen. Brooke personally and officially, but
he felt that he could no longer represent
the Cuban army because a cabal, composed
of many of the subordinate commanders,
existed to oppose and, if possible, defeat
the plans for partitioning the money.

Nebraska Regiment Badly Crippled.

The LIST Nebraska regiment has petition
ed division commander, Gen. Macarthur,
for temporary relief from duty at the front.
The regiment is badly exhausted, with not
over 800 men fit for duty. The men say
they are willing to fight, but they are in
no condition to do so owing to the strain of
long marching, continual fighting and out
post duty in which they have been engag
ed.
Many men have been unable to have
their clothing washed for months past, and
have been compelled during all that time
to sleep in their uniforms to be in readiness
for fighting. Since February 2 the regi-
ment has lost 225 men in killed and wound
ed and SO since the battle of Malolos. The
splendid record of the LIST Nebraska in
the campaign and the tone of the memorial
prepared by the men are such that no i'm
putation of characterization can be brought
against them.
Col. Victor Vifquain has rendered to the
President the services of the Sd Nebraska
regiment, which has been mustered out,
but is willing to re-enlist and take the place
of the 1st Nebraska, now in Luzon, but
soon to return to this country. Mr.. Nc
Kinley thanked the regiment for its pat
riotic motives and said that its offer would
be kept in mind. This is the regiment
which Col. William j. Bryan commanded
last summer.

a DIgnIfied Service, without Protest

Received Into the Episcopal Church in
a DIgnIhed Service. without Protest.
In the small, though pretty pro-cathedral
on Stanton street, in the downtown dis
trict of New York city, Rev. DR.. Chas. A.
Briggs, who was found guilty of heresy by
the Presbyterian assembly, was ordained a
priest of the Protestant Episcopal church
on Sunday morning. He was ordained to-
gether with the Rev. Chas A. Snedeker,
and the ordination ceremonies were con-
Quoted by Bishop Potter. The little church
was crowded with people and the ceremo-
MES were notable for the quietness that
prevailed. Those who expected from the
great cutlery of the past three weeks some
sensational features were disappointed.
There was no scene, no excitement and no
protest was filed at any period of the day.
One would imagine that it was the ordina-
ton of two average priests.
