SENATE REORGANIZATION.
Likelihood of Material Changes in the
Force at the Coming Sess ion.

Washington, November 29.-The Star
this evening, discussing the extent of
the senate reorganization at the ap-
preaching session of congress, says:
There is considerable talk o the
extent of the senate reorganization
early in the coming session of congress.
1t is generally conceded hat General
Clarkson, of Iowa, will be secretary of
the senate. The question of a change
in the office of the sergeant-at-arms is
one hat is very difficult to determine.
Colonel Bright, the present sergeant
alarms, has made UGH a record for
efficiency of administration that re-
CARELESS Of party affiliation there is a
general feeling that the n would
lose more than a partisan appointment
could possibly gain by a change. Dur
ing his term of office Colonel Bright
has brought about many changes in
the senate end of the capitol, so that
it is said the building was never in
quite so satisfactory a condition as is
now the case. Not only has the build
ing itself been kept in a fine condition,
but the / n which the various
employees under the sergeant-at-arms
are attending to their duties is said
to entirely meet h approval of every
me-. The senate depends upon the SER
geant-at-arms for a great deal of work
that requires judgment and constant
vigilance, and many senators are loathe
to permit politics to interfere with
their comfort and with the conduct of
the senate in a satisfactory way"

Washington. November 2s.-General
Leonard Wood, who reached Washing
ton last night. had a two hours con-
ference with the secretary Of war to-
day.
After the conference Secretary Root
announced that his recommendation as
TO the removGi OF troops from Cuba
had been approved and that orders
would be issued putting them into eff
feet.
General Wood said thai:. in his opin-
ion, all the rumors Of impending truu-
BILE were g~roundless: that there was no
real prospect of a revolt and that what
ever friction and discomfort did exist
among the Cubans was due 10 the re-
cent talk OF a civil governor for the
island.
When asked about the report OF his
selection for this position. General
Wood said: II do not know a thing
about it. I have heard nothing Of the
plan for a civil governor. except what
L nave seen in the papers. Ii has not
been offered ito me and | have not been
asked for any suggestions on the sub.
ject."
Concerning his mission to Washing
ton, he AID that it was merely for
consultation about the reduction OF the
American forces in the island. II have
recommended a reduction of about 20
per cent. of the force in my depar-|
ment," said General Wood, that is to|
say h recall of the Fifteenth infant-
ry and the removal of a squadron from
each of the cavalry regiments. l think
that this is perfectly feasible. When Il
say that Santiago is perfectly quiet.
1T is a pretty fair indication of the
condition throughout the island. Every
revolution that has started there has
started in Santiago province, and in
the last war 20 per cent. of the troops
were drawn from that province"
1t is stated that the president hasI
decided on the reward to be allotted to
General Wood when his term of service
in Cuba is over. 1t is said on good
authority that General Wood is slated
to succeed General George NJ. Stern
berg as surgeon general OF the army
when h latter is retired by law in
June Of the coming year.
The surgeon g~eneralship would placeI
General Wood at the head of the med
ical staff of the American army at but
little over 80 years, making him the
youngest officer ever holding this re-
.sponsible position. Lit would leave himI
twenty-five years of active service i'll
he so desired in a position ~carryingl
with it great prestige in the professionI
both at home and abroad.
General Wood has taken a house in
Washington, No. 1913 Rhode Island
avenue, where he has moved with his
family, and 1T is thought that this is
another indication hat he will makeI
his permanent residence here at mol
very distant date.

$11O, 0O0. The losses Of the two fires
are more than covered by insurance.
The Eighth street fire was a IT
ugly one for the firemen TO handle.
eighth street and Flbert street are
very narrow thoroughfares. There was
a strong wind blowing at the time, n
the fire fighters had great difficulty in
preventing the flames from getting

Their Remains Not to Be Removed

Their Remains Not to Be Removed.
Washington, November 29.-The citi-
zens of Key West have petitioned the
navy department not to remove the re-
mains of the victims of the Maine who
were inferred in the cemetery there.
They have represented that the town
purchased a fine lot in the cemetery,
placed an iron fence around it and
erected an expensive monument which
is to be dedicated this winter. All this
was done under an implied understand
ing that the remains were not to be
removed. Moreover, it is reported that
only two Of the bodies could be identi-
fed. The department therefore will
not undertake to emove these bodies.
Those buried at Havana, however,
about 160 in number. will be brought
home on the Texas.
