Secretary Alger Denies That the President

Secretary Alger Denies That the President
nas Countermanded orders of General
Eroake.
Washington, D. c., May 19.-"It is
the sheerest nonsense, said Secretary
published story that the President or
himself had countermanded any order
made by Gen. Brooke relative to the
disarmament of the Cuban troops. The
state of the base in brief is as follows:
The President canvassed very thor
oughly with Secretary Alger and Gen.
Brooke the best method of securing
the disbandment of the Cuban troops
and their re-entry into industrial life.
1t was decided that a necessary step
toward this end was the surrender of
the arms held by the Cuban soldiers.
1t was apprehended that, retaining
their arms, some, if not a. large pro-
portion, inclined by their past predi-
atory existence, would lapse into
brigandage.
SO the President himself ordered
Gen. Brooke to cause the arms of the
Cuban soldiers. to be delivered up to
the representative of the United
States army. With these instructions
Gen. Brooke has been patiently striv-
ing to carry out the Presidents plan.
He has arrived at that point where the
EIThnn in4n o. q nf
ment, they say, make it a condition
of disarmament that the arms shall be
placed in the custody of the mayors
of the Cuban towns. Realizing that to
assent to such conditions would be
contrary to the Presidents instruc-
tons, Gen. Brooke has telegraphed TO
Secretary Alger the facts in the case
and asks for decision. The Secretary
in turn has communicated with the
President and asks for Instructions for

amend or revoke an order originally
emanating directly from the President.

the War Department OF mis- intentions.
1t is said at the War Department
that should the Cuban leaders refuse to
accept Gen. Brooke's proffer, whether
it is conditioned upon the surrender of
arms to United States army officers or
to Cuban mayors. that will terminate
the efforts of the governor general to
come to a satisfactory arrangement
with these leaders. For, thereupon,
Gen. Brooke will proceed to address
himself directly to the Cuban private
soldiers. He will have his agents
United States army officers-pay off
every bona fide Cuban soldier who is
willing to comply with the conditions
laid down by him, and this will be
done without further reference to any
of the malcontent leaders, who have
so long retarded a settlement.

of the Amalgamated* Association con-

of the iron scales reported by the wage
committee.
The work of the convention is pro-
crossing rapidly. National President
T., J. Shaffer said: THE work is now
further advanced than was the case in
many of the conventions that have pre-
coded the present one, and it is likely
that the business will be finished up
in shorter time than usual"
There will be a certain amount of
politics to come before the convention,
which will be noticed chiefly in the
selection of an assistant secretary to
succeed Stephen Madden. There are
four aspirants to the position beside
Mr.. Madden. They are: NJ. F. Tighe,
of Wheeling; Thomas Mansell, of New
Philadelphia, Ohio; Emery Lee, of Ell
wood Ind, and William j. Walters, of
New Kensington.
That the delegates to a man favor the
rc-eieclion of President Shaffer and Secre-
Treasurer JOAN Williams is shown
n the fact that they intend to increase
the salaries of these TWO officers. 1t is
ESQ probable that an assistant TO Presi-
dent Shaffer VIII be appointed in the per-
son Of national organizer who viii take
