MOSS AFTER VAN WICK.

Some Interesting Evidence.

Counsel for DIazet Committee Promises
Some Interesting Evidence.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Mazet In
vestigating committee has resumed its
session after prolonged recess. A fair
sized crowd was on hand early, among
them being Mayor Van Wyck, who,
with the heads of various city depart
ments had been summoned to appear.
It was announced that the committee
will sit daily, Tuesdays, Wednesdays,
Thursdays and Fridays until its work is
concluded, but this programme was in.
terfered with by the extra session Of the
legislature which begins on Monday
next. ....-..,
During his examination, Mr.. Moss.
counsel for the committee, asked Mayor
Van Wyck question which implied
that the mayor was financially inter-
ested in pool rooms, which are alleged
to be running here in violation Of law.
Mr.. Van Wyck Indignantly denied the
imputation and challenged Mr.. Moss to
produce the evidence. The only salts
faction the latter would give the mayor
was to tell him to wait a day or two
and he would learn something that he
evidently knew nothing about now.
Mayor Van Wyck resented bitterly
an insinuation by Mr.. Moss that Mr..
Croker was of necessity consulted by
the mayor in reference to city affairs.

MANILA, May 15.-Twenty American
scouts under the command of Captains
Case and Berkheimer, supported by two
companies of the Minnesota and Oregon
regiments, fanked the insurgents at San
Ildefonso and captured the town. The
Filipinos were SO terrorized that al
though they fred 10000 rounds Of am
munition all they did was to slightly
wound one scout. The Americans killed
one insurgent officer and wounded six
men. The insurgents retreated to San
Miguel, six miles north of San nde-
fonso.
Captured records show that 20 per
cent of the opposing insurgent force has
been killed and wounded since Lawton's

ton Officials.
Cuban "Generals" Are at the
Bottom of the Whole Trouble
There.
Think They Do Not Get a Fair
Share of the S3,000,000 to
Be Distributed.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Gen. Brooke
has not reported to the war department
any serious situation in Cuba, and it is
not believed at the department that any
alarm need be felt regarding the condi.
tion Of affairs. No advice is given Gen.
eral Brooke, as it has been the policy Of
the president to clothe the officers in
command in the islands with plenary
powers to deal with situations as they
arise and hold such officers responsible.
The confidence of the war department
in General Brooke was strengthened by
the visit of Secretary Alger to Cuba.
What had been done and what was go.
ing forward seemed to Secretary Alger
to be for the best interests Of all the
people of the island. It is said to be
the policy of General Brooke to deal
mildly with the Cubans and to avoid, as
far as possible, any action which will
tend to irritate them; but that he will
be firm when it is necessary and the
disturbers will be made to understand
that no overt act is permitted. Com.
munications that General Brooke has
made to the war department regarding
the situation are not given to the public
but the officials unders tand that the
source of present trouble is hat "gen-
erals of the Cuban army are disappointed
because they are not likely to realize as
much out Of the money appropriated for
the army as they think they should.
These generals all believed that they
would secure proportion Of the money
equal to their rank and their own esti-
mate Of their service. The whole trou-
tble rsgxrdingth payment of the money
and the delay may be traced directly to
these officers, who, as members Of the
assembly, or as supporters of Gomez,
have constantly raised obstacles in the
way of a peaceful disarmament Of the
Cubans and the settlement of the affairs
of the island.
One thing is assured beyond all other
considerations. The United States will
remain for the present in absolute con.
troll of the island, and the orders Of the
officers in command will be sustained
by the government at Washington.
