WRECK OF THE MAINE.
Secretary Long and General Brooke
Quibbie Over It's Removal

New York, Nov. ga special to the
World from Washington says:
Secretary Long and Major General
Brooke, military governor of Cuba, dis
agree as to whether the army OF the
navy should remove the wreck of the
battleship Maine in Havana harbOr.
Secretary Long when told today that
General Brooke regards the wreck as
a menace to navigation and advocates
its removal, said:
The navy department has nothing
to do with removing the wreck 1t is
purely a military matter and should be
done by the army engineers. If Gen
eral Brooke wants it removed I do not
suppose there will be any objection"
At the war department it was said
no adVices had been received from Gen
eral Brooke regarding the Maine. He is
in favor of removing the debris and re
covering the bodies of the hundred or
more dead sailors by building a huge
caissOn around the wreck After the
recovery of the bodies General Brooke
will either destroy the Maine or either
raise and tow it to some port, where it
could be reviewed by sightseers-
General Fitzhugh Lee claims that
there are in the Maine more bodies than
were buried in the cemetery in Havana.
He favors the taking out of these
bodies and then destroying the wreck

Age of Consent.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 2S-An unusual
law suit resulted in a peculiar decision
in the supreme court today, It being
held that girls under the age OF con-
sent may marry without their parents
consent. The case came from Mime
apolis, where Alex Scott, aged 81. mar
ried Sadie Scott, aged 13, without the
knowledge of the child's parents on Oc-
tober 18 last. On hearing of the we'd
ding, the girls father forcibly detained
her at his home, whereupon Scott
sought to secure possession of his child
wife by habeas corpus proceedings, but
the lower court refused the writ and
left the girl with her father. The ca Sc
was taken to the supreme court which
today decided that in this case the
common law provisions held that such
a marriage is valid, Notwithstanding
the state law on age of consent and that
the child must be turned over to her
husband if she so desires.
