The first Governor General OF
Cuba, under the terms of the recent
surrender of the island by Spain, is
Major General John r. Brooke, and
the affairs of note which have cen
tered about the change of govern
ment in the island have been under
his direction on the part of the
United States. His selection for this
position was especially pleasing in U.
S. army circles, where it was consid-
cred very appropriate choice. Major
General Brooke is one of the most
striking figures in the army. He is
over six feet high, of massive build
aud commanding manner. He looks
sixty, and willreach that age July 81
next. His record as a soldier is a
splendid story Of heroic gallantry.
In April, 1861. he answered the first
call for volunteers and was made a
captain in the 21st Pennsylvania In
fantry. He fought at the battle of
Bull Run. Seven Pines, Gaines Mill,
and Malvern Hill, and later at Ante
tam and Gettysburg. He was made
brigadier general of volunteers in
1854, and distinguished himself with
Grant. He made splendid record
as an Indian fighter, and in 1888
President Cleveland made him a
brig adler general to succeed Gen.
Crook. On May 16 last he was as
signed to the command of the First

GEN. EAGAN's TESTIMONY Nobody
realizes more fully than President
Mckinley that the revision of his
testimony, eliminating the black
guardism, does not condone the dis
graceful conduct of Gen. Eagan in
personally abusing Gen. Miles, his
superior officer conduct which was
aggravated by the furnishing TO the
press association of advance type
written copies of the Billingsgate be
fore it was uttered in the presence of
the War Investigating Commission,
but that revision will at least remove
the dirty stuff from the official record.
What else is to be done is vet to be

will be done, and quickly.

ALL SORTS of arguments are being

the treaty of peace calls for, if Presi-

always welcome in the highest re-

lowed. He knew the tariff as only

New York, July 19.-The Brooklyn
street car strike situation is as follows:
A committee of trninmen of the Brook
lyn elevated railroad. now part of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, called
on President Rossiter and assured him
that the men We're loyal to the company
md would not go out on strike
Viewed from the street, the aspects OF
the strike are the same as Monday.
Nevertheless both sides claim great
gains.
The company received reports from
various sections that wires We're cut dur
ing the night, and gangs of linemen were
sent out to repair the damage
President Rossiter of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit railroad said, 1.-The strike
is over" That was after he had re-
ceived reports from all of his lines rs to
how they were being operated.
IIe announced also that cars will be
run at once as before the strike. These
announcements were made after the
street railway president had finished
hreakfnsting with Deputy Chief Nc
Lnughlin of the Manhattan police.
The deputy chief had assured him. he
said. that the force of policemen now on
duty in Brooklyn would be sufficient to
insure the safety Of any and all cars
run out. and that if more men should be
needed they are available.
As soon rs he reached his Office Mr..
Rossiter gave out the following state
ment:
"The strike is ended. but am not ex-
ulting over the situation. l gave the
men until 6 o'clock Monday night to re-
turn to work. but if the superintendents
should disobey my orders with regard to
time and should take back some of our
| loyal employees now | would not feel soi-
ry. In fact, would be glad to have our
superintendents exercise their own dis
cretion in the matter. l am well aware
that many of the men who went out did
so much against their best judgment
They were at heart loyal to the COM
pany, but they wished to be at peace
with their fellows, so they went out to
keep peace in the family, as it WERE"
Mr.. Rossitcr was asked whether II
were true that he had imported 300 men
from Philadelphia.
"No," said he, that is not true, but II
men were sent to us from Philadelphia
Some have come to us from other cities
as we'll, but not in large numbers"
What the Men Complain Of.
The strikers complain that the abuses
against which they seek relief are sucf
that the officials of the road can easily
promise great deal and fulfill nothing
As examples Of abuses the men de
scribed certain "runs." On run 56, Gu'
Engel's run, the crew reports at 6:25 ii
the barns, corner of Vernon and Flat
bush avenues, and takes the car t.
Brighton, arriving at 1850. Pay begin
at 1850, when the first trip leaves Bright
on. Second and third trips leave at II
and 1916 Third trip returns to Brighton
at 1:48. Lunchtime is from l 4S to 2:1O
The men assert that the schedule time i
Inadequate; that no man can get his ca
to Brighton before 2, and, that, conse
quently, no man can get more than tel
minutes for lunch. The last trip of tn
day is due back in Brighton at 9:24 AM
