HAVANA, Nov. 1.-THE newspapers OF this
city comment in various ways on the numer-
Gus cable dispatches that have been received
In Havana regarding the appointment OF
q Civil Governor for the island In these
dispatches tho names Of every American Gen
eral in the island. as well as Director Of Posts
Rathbone and Robert =. Porter. have been
mentioned for the place.
cable despatch 10 the Ra'dldo from Wash
lnRton says: Close friends Of the President de-
clare that the only man who will be considered
II Gen. Brooke 10 relieved is Gen ChnfTve. who
on account Of his intimate knowledge OF Cuban
affairs could carry on the policy so successfully
pursued by the present Governor General"
A special despatch to La Luchd from Wash
ington gives n list OF dozen candidates
for Governor. The names OF George Francis
Train and Anthony Comstock are among those
mentioned. In the same issue OF La Lucia
there IL ono despatch which says that Gen.
Leonard Wood. the Governor OF Santiago
province. 10 practically appointed. and another
one stating that Assistant Secretary OF War
Neiklejohn 10 to he the new Governor. The
Eng fish edition OF La Iuchd fayors the APP
pointmsnt OF Mr.. Rathbons. the Director OF
Posts.
Most OF the newspapers agree that these per-
sistent rumorO should either be officially con-
frmed or denied. on account OF the feeling OF
unrest which they cause on the islard.
Governor General Brooke has issued his
Thanksgiv ne proclamation. He says he he
lievss that no people ia the world have more to
be thankful for or greater opportunities ahead
OF them than the inhabitants Of Cuba.
Therefore he deems II proper TO call their at
tention TO a realization OF the situation. The
holiday will be observed on the same day as In
the United States.
Gen. Nuhez. the new Civil Governor OF
Havana. and Gen Maya Rodriguez had a con-
ference with Gov. Gen. Brooke day. They
wanted him to order some Official to hand over
500 to every Cuban who was incapacitated by
the war.
Secretary Capote has presented a new
scheme to Gen. Brooke for the regulation OF
immigration. The idea originated with
q Cuban lawyer ~ tho name OF Alonso.
II provides. 6rst. that no China
men. Arabs. Turks or syrisns shall be
allowed to land on the island. In tho second
place. no persen OF any nationality win be al
lowed to land unless he has at least $50.
Finally. all i'm m grants will have to be exam
med by hysicisns. II they are found TO be
physically unsound they will not be allowed to
land
