When it became known that these stamps
would not be used after June 30. 1898,
Stamp collectors busted themselves to OBJ
tain sets of the stamps. The sale was shut
off before scarcely any of them had been
supplied. and since that time the depart
ment has been urged again and again to
take definite action Today it was de-
c,ded to sell these stamps, and an opportu-
nifty will be offered within the next ten
days to possess a set at S1S2.93 less than
their face value In other words, Uncle
Sam has decided to sell 5000 sets at -

this set amounts TO $lS793; w nile the de-
partment has put no reStr1ctlohs upon the

CUBAN GOVERNOR GENERALsHIp.
No Action Toward SuppiantinE
Brooke by Wood

Careful inquiry at the War Department
discloses the fact that the President has
taken no action toward supplanting Cen
eral Brooke by General Wood as governor
general of Cuba, and there is also good
ground for the statement that he has no
such intention. General Wood was one of
the first military commanders to assume
the direction of civic affairs In Cuba, and
1t is almost needless to state that the
splendid success attending his efforts
earned the admiration of the President
But desirous as he might have been to
further reward General Wood, 1t was found
to be impracticable to place him In COM
mand of the whole Island. for that would
involve the relief from duty there of all
of the general officers, including General
Brooke, General Wilson, General Lee and
General Ludlow, who can claim seniority
over General Wood.
This would amount to the degradation
or these officers, Notwithstanding the eX-
ce!lent services they have rendered. and
there is not the least disposition on the
part of the President to do them this in
justice. OF course the rapid advancement
of General Wood from captaincy at the
outbreak of the war to a major generalcy
at this time could not fail to excite ieal-
ousy III some quarters, and II is iutimated
at the War Department that some dis
gruntled element is responsible for the cir
cuiatlon of such stories as. this, antagoniZ-
ing General Brooke and General Wood IN
the hope of injuring the latter.

WANT THEIR PROPERTY RESTORED
The COrtex Brothers Argue i'm Favor
of Their Claim


The Cortez brothers, two Philippine citi-
zens nov in Washington, have submitted
an argument before Assistant Judge Advo-
cate General Morrison at the War Depart
ment, to show why large quantity of val
liable property in Manila now in the pos
session of the United States military au-
thorities should be restored to them. Their
interests reach nearly S1,o0O,OO and about
forty other claimants are in similar posi-
tion This property was seized by the
Spanish government at Manila during the
insurrectien proceeding our own war. un-
der the claim that the Cortez brothers
were rebels. The Spaniards collected sew
eral thousand dollars monthly in rentals
from the property. Later they issued a
proclamation stating that the property
would be restored to the rightful owners
upon their return to Manila. But the city
being blockaded by Dewey. the brothers
could not have reached Manila even had
they chosen to do so. So when the Ameri-
can forces captured the town they pos
sessed themselves of this property as part
of the Spanish government property. Gen
eral Otis has confirmed this statement of
the facts and has referred the claim to
the War Department for adjudication, not
feeling authorized himself to return the
property.
