OUR TROOPS PRAISED.
General Brooke In His Report Speaks Well OF
Officers and Men.

The annual report of Major Genera!
Brooke, commanding the division OF
Cuba, has been received at the war de-
partment He says:
THE conduct of our troops In CUBA
among a people not speaking our Ian
guage and with habits totally dissimilar
to those of the American soldiers, has
been generally good, sustaining the rep
utation Of their native country. Ihey
have cheerfully borne the restrictions
necessarily imposed upon them since the
advent of the sickly season, and, with
the exception Of Santiago, and Puerto
Principe, there have been but sporaulc
cases of yellow fever. In some IL Is
traceable to the indiscretion Of soldiers
attacked, and in others, where the men
were exemplary in their habits, It's
source has been a mystery. Thus far'
with the exception Of the cases at the
two points mentioned, we can say there
has been, practically, no yellow teVer
among the troops.
II desire to call particular attention
to the enormous amount of work done
by the staff officers in Cuba, which mas
been successfully performed In all cases,
so far as | am informed. In fact, the
military part of our duty in cuba ID
comparatively but little trouble, 1t be-
ing performed by professional officers
well versed in their duties, and there
has been very little infraction of disci'
pline.
1T Is the civil part Of our duties, sucf
as sanitation, which covers wide held,
and the supervision and management oil
civil affairs, which covers a still WIDER
field, that has been difficult and caused
great labor. This however, Will be treat
ed in a special report on civil affairs.
1T seems scarcely necessary, after TIT
experience of the past Is months, u
urge the necessity of Reorganization
of our army. The matter of army or
ganization has been urged for man
years without effect What could haV
been accomplished with a we'll organ
lied army of 100000 men was exemplifie'
by the battles around San Juan In Jun
and July, 1898.
II desire to express my appreciate
of the able assistance rendered me
the several department commanders
and particularly by my staff officers, i

of our duties in the division of Cuba"

pushinu War Plans.

London, Oct 1O.-The complete dearth
of news from the Cape, on which all at
tention is rivetted, is poorly compen-
stated for by the mass of minute details
published concerning the preparations
for the dispatch Of the army corps and
speculation as to the length and charac-
ter of the debates when parliament
meets. In official circles there is said to
be apprehension that the radicals will
offer protracted opposition to the gov
ernment's policy in South Africa, which
will possibly make Propagation and
Christmas near neighbors.

1887 was married to Mr.. James M.
Carr August 28th, 1856, and died
August Goth, 1899, almost 46 years to a
day to the date of her marriage. Her
young husband was killed at the battle
of Murfresboro, Tenn, one of the
many brave and heroic sons of the
South, who offered their lives willing
sacrifice for the sake of great prin-
ciple. To the memory of the husband
of her youth she remained loyal, and
was widow for 36 long years. These
two loving hearts, so rudely sundered
by the cruel fate of war, are now re-u.

where there is no more war or rumors
of war, and there is no more separa-

sorrow, she did not despair, but picked
up the broken threads of her lite and
went to work to rear and train her only
child in life sway, To this she devoted
her life, bending to its accomplishment
every resource of cultivated mind,
warm loving heart, and a deeply spirit
