GENERAL WOOD TAKES HOLD.
New GOvernor-GeneralO of Cuba Begins
WOrk-sOme ResiEMattOns Accepted.

Havana, Dec, 21.-Major General
Wood formally took charge of the gov
ernor generals offices at 8 o'clock this
morning. His first act was to accept
the resignation of the members of the
advisory cabinet of General Brooke.
These officials, after considering the
question over night, had decided to in
sist upon retiring Their decision
meets with public approval Almost
without exception they had rendered
themselves particularly obnoxious to a
majority of the Cubans. One promin-
ent Cuban general said to-day: THE
only chance General Brooke's secfetar-
les have, if they wish to rehabilitate
themselves in the eyes of their country
men, is to resign and thus for time,
bring forgetfulness."
The same general, discussing General
Brooke's farewell proclamation said:
'The proclamation is ill-advised. Cuba
is bound, in the course of time, with
food and without war, to arrive at q
state of comparative comfort No man
has right to regard himself as the sole
cause of such improvements. AS
matter of fact, under General Brooke's
administration the military authorities
frequently overrode the civil, and there
is less civil government now than be-
fore. AS for the courts, they are the
same corrupt organizations and are
virtually unchanged in any important
particular All this in my opinion most
Cubans will attribute to the bad advice
given by General Brooke and his secre-
taries."
The Lucha contrasting General
Brooke's withdrawal with General
Woods advent says: General Brooke's
proclamation was unfortunate as it
contained errors. General Wood, al
though promising nothing, speaks vol
umes by his quiet, democratic manner
of taking charge of affairs. He has
captiYated every one"

PROGRESS OF MOLINEA UX TRIAL.
Weeks Examines Expert Tyrrell-The
witness Evidence Unshaken.

New York, Dec. 21.-The two hand
writing experts, William J. Kinsley and
John f. Tyrrell, the latter of whom
practically began his testimony yester-
day, were witnesses to-day before the
court of general sessions, where Roland
3. Molineux is on trial for the murder
of Mrs. Katherine j. Adams. Tyrrell
was the principal witness. His testi-
mony was entirely technical and dealt
In opinions concerning the pen habit
and mental conception" noticed in teh
admitted hadwriting of the defendant
and in the address on the poison pack
ages. Tyrrel said that the continuous
breaks throughout all the writing be-
fore the oval letters were, In his opfn-
ion, one of the most important points in
establishing the identity of the writer
of the poison package address and the
disputed Barnet and Cornish letters.
He said he also considered it important
that when the defendant wrote by re-
ouest he failed to make the character
istic break.
Shortly after recess Tyrrell was
cross-examined by Mr.. Weeks, counsel
for the defense Mr.. Weeks asked the
witness about his coming into the case
and Tyrrell replied that he at first had
been shown the address on the poison
nackage, next the Harpster letter then
the request for treatment signed Bar
net. and then an admitted speciment of
the defendants handwriting. He was
asked by Mr. Weeks if he had formed
his connection between the poison pack
age address and the admitted writing
nv means of a study of the disputed
Barnet Cornish letters He replied that
while he could easily have done so
without using the exhibits, he used
them first, and Mr.. Weeks laid much
stress on this point, bringing out
clearly before the jury that the expert
used the lettered exhibits to establish
tho connection. The witness repeated
the opinion expressed during his direct
examination that the poison package
address was written in wrist move
ment and with the wrist pivot fixed.
Mr. Weeks tried hard to break the tes-
tinonv of the witness, but seemed un-
able to do so. After a long series OF
areuments on technicalities, Mr.. Weeks
brought his cross examination to a
close and court adjourned until to-mor-
row,

ca US ES s SURPRISE IN BOSTON
Appoin i'm MT Of Receiver for tho Globe

Boston, Dec. 21.--The news that re-

surprise. While the bank was known
to have been in distress ten days ago.
presumably over the decline In copper
specialties, chiefly United States Min
ing company, it was thought that the
crisis had passed. This was borne out
to all external appearances in the mar
ket by the reassuring tone of dealings
in7the past few days. The Boston clear
ing house came to the assistance Of the
Globe bank although when the Broad
way National bank later was in trouble
the same body declined to offer assist
ance. Three days ago it was officially
stated that the clearing house commit
tee had certificates signed to large
amount to relieve any solvent bank,
should pressure come upon it. For this
reason the situation In financial circles
here tomorrow is hardly likely to be
seriously affected by the Globe bank

THREE MAINE VICTIMS MISSING.
Actual Number Bxhumed Less Than
Thnt of Chaplain ChidMick,s List.


Havana, Dec 21.--The battleship
Texas sailed this morning with the
bodies of the victims Of the Maine. All
the remains were thoroughly disinfect-
ed. A difference was found between the
number of collins entered ON Chaplain
Chidwick's list, which was 154, and the
actual number of collins exhumed.
Search was made through all the twen-
ty-two graves, in which the collins were
buried, but three missing were not
found. Father Chadwick said the diff
ference could be explained by a clerical
error at the time of interring, as he was
very busy at the wharf giving instruc-
tions and Identifying the bodies, and
could not superintend every detail. 1t
was also quite possible that after or
dering portions Of two different bodies
to be placed In different collins they had
carelessly been put into one coffin.
1t was also impossible for Father
Chadwick to superintend the actual
placing of all the collins in the graves
owing to the unavoidable hurry caused
by the decomposition of the bodies. He
adds that the list gives two bodies as
unaccounted for. The superintendent
of the cemetery, who buried the bodies,
says that owing to all the remains not
being buried the same day it is quite
possible that mistake was made in
the counting. He was certain no bodies
were lost. Captain Green also says he
does not believe and bodies went astray.
Persons who were desirous of photo
graphing the proceedings at the ceme-
terry were not allowed to do so. The
work was conducted quietly and decor
ously under the direction of Father
Chadwick. The old collins were carried
away and burned.

New York, Dec. 21.--Charley Goffe of
California defeated the English middle
weight boxer, Godfrey Thorne, in less
than two rounds before the Hercules A.
c. in Brooklyn tonight. The men met
at catch weights, but there was very
little difference in their respective
weights, Both put up fast fight from
the first clang of the gong, each essay
ing left leads and right arm crosses. To-
wards the end of the first round Thorne
went down from a right hand cross on
the jaw. After three seconds he rose
as aggressive Aas ever, giving Golf sew
eIal facers before the bell rang In the
second round Golf went at his man in
smash bang style and with scarcely
come back forced the pace in hurricane
order, finally sending Thorne down and
out with left swing smash on the
jaw. Time of round, fifty seconds.

Tuli, Dec. II, via Lourenzo Marquee,

into Transvaal territory. He reached a

South African Republic, but found no
Beers, the country being seemingly
empty of men.
Fort Tuli is on the Crocodile river,
which forms the northern boundary of
the Transvaal. Petersburg is the north
ern terminus of the railroad, being
about $50 miles from Pretoria and al
most as far from Tuli Colonel Plum
er's expedition seems to show that the
war has had the effect of depopulating
the whole northern section of the South
African republic, the men having join
ed the forces at the front and their
antilles having been removed to places
of safety nearer the country's center.
The dispatch also indicates that the re-

out foundation.
