TnE CUBAN SITUATION.
War Department >aTs No Alarm Need
BE Felt.
HAS CONFIDENCE IN BROOKE
UnderstOOd In Washington That the
Cuban Generals Are the Cause
of the Present Trouble
In Havana.

Washington, May 17.-General Brooke
has not reported to the war department
any serious situation in Cuba. and il IS
! not believed at the department that any
alarm need be felt regarding the condi-
ton of affairs. No advice is given
General Brooke, as it has been the pol
icy of the president to clothe the Off
plenary powers to deal with situations
as they arise and hold such officers re-
sponsible.
The confidence of the war department
In General Brooke was strengthened by
the visit of Secretary Alger to Cuba.
What had been done and what was 60
ing forward seemed to Secretary Alger
to be for the best interests of all the
people of the island.
1t is said to be the policy of General
Brooke to deal mildly with the Cubans
and to avoid as far as possible any ac-
ton which will tend to irritate them,
but that he will be firm when it is nee
essary, and the disturbers will be made
to understand that no overt acts will
be permitted.
"Genernls" to Blame.
Communications that General Brooke
has made to the war department re-
garding the situation are not given to
the public but the officials understand
that the source of the present trouble is
that the generals" of the Cuban army
are disappointed because they are not
likely to realize as much out of the
money appropriated for the army as
they think they should
These generals all believed that they
would secure proportion of the money
equal to their rank and their own esti-
mate of their services. The whole trou-
Bile regarding the payment of the money
and the delay may be traced directly to
those officers who, as members of the
assembly or as supporters Of Gomez
have constantly raised obstacles in the
way of peaceful disarna ment of the
Cubans and a settlement of the affairs
of the island
One thing is assured beyond all othe,
considerations. the United States will
remain for the present in absolute con-
troll of the island, and the orders of the
officers in command will be sustained
by the government at Washington.

with his left in the first, but it was not
hard punch. Walcott made the pace
in the second, but OBrien showed a
clever defense and stood him off, al
though the round was Walcotts. The
colored man opened the third with a
hard right ON the jaw and was up and
at his man in an instant, He followed
him all over the ring and to the ropes,
but failed to do much damage. They
gave and took in the fourth, with the
colored man in the lead. Walcott made
the margin wider in the fifth and it
looked for a. time as If the fight would
end right there. Walcott began with
right on the jaw and after twice repeat
ing the blow sent the left and right into
the body hard. OBrien, cut and bleed
ing, clinched and saved himself. He
rallied before the round was over and
tried pace making himself. The sixth
was all Walcott's. EIe did what he
pleased and sent O'Brien to his corner
bleeding and unsteady. OBrien made
sorry showing in the seventh and the
crowd yelled to him to fight. He was
busy taking care of himself and did
not have time to do any leading or
countering. Walcott administered ter
rife punishment to the Maine man. in
the eighth. He sent his right to the
jaw three times and then jabbed his
left into the face and hooked it into the
body until he was tired. Again 1t looked
like the last round but when the gong
sounded O'Brien was still on his feet
and fairly strong. In the ninth O'Brien
displayed a pair of bleeding ears and
blood also trickled from his lips and
nose. Again in the tenth Walcott beat
his man to a staudstill and then put
him down with a right hook. O'Brien
took his time allowance and when he
gained his feet electrified the crowd by
suddenly rallying and rushing the col
ored man to the ropes. He landed his
left but missed with the right and the
round was over. O'Brien was strong in
the eleventh and although he followed
Walcott closely was apparently afraid
to risk a lead The crowd cheered him,
but he did not respond. In the twelfth
Walcott was in and out with scarcely

again and was forcing the fighting
when the round closed. The thirteenth

A SCARE AT MAZET HEARING.



New York, May 19.-The explosion of
an unbidden photographer flashlight
threw the Mazet committee and other
persons in the court room into conster-
nation towards the close of the after
noon session to-day but no one was
hurt and the photographer, having
proved the innocence of his intentions,
was let go. The feature of to-days ses-
sions of the Mazet investigating COM
mittee was the unearthing of an alleged
system of corruption in the disposition
of dead bodies from a city hospital; a
somewhat ghoulish tale. but one that
was well corroborated and replete with
details. BY several witnesses it was
stated that an undertaken named Mar
ran illegally secured the funerals of all
bodies taken to Harlem hospital and
that he was enabled to do this by brib-
ing clerks in the employ of the city to
break the rules. 1t was also shown
that, apparently, an acquaintanceship
existed between Marren and Messrs.
Croker and Carroll A large number Of
witnesses were called and a multiplicity
of subjects were touched upon during
the examination. Another effort was
made to get the bookmaker, James Ma
honey to acknowledge that he was con-
nected with pool rooms, but this wit
ness added nothing but q little mirth
to the proceedings, though he refused
to deny the many accusations made
against him. The committee then ad-
journed until May 81.

Cambridge, Mass. May 19-Captain
Roche of the Harvard track athletic
team received to-day a challenge from
Oxford and Cambridge for track ath-
letic meeting to be held in London about
the middle of July between teams rep
resenting oxford and Cambridge and
Harvard and Yale. The formal chal-

to include only nine events. The COM

universities on each side, so as to make
up one composite team of each univer-

are very hopeful Of being able to ac-
cept, although detailed arrangements
as to expenses must be first settled and
the consent of the Harvard and Yale
faculties obtained.

NO END TO BUFFALO STRIKE.
Men to Fight the Matter Out-Bishcp
Quigley Ignored.

Buffalo. N. Y, May 19,-The grain
shovelers tonight adopted resolutions
repudlating all agreements made with
the Lake Carriers association and de-
| manding the unequivocal abrogation of
the contract with Mr.. Corners. The
striking freight handlers at their meet
ing voted to ignore the advice of Bishop
Quigley, in which he urged them to re-
turn to work under the terms granted
by the Associated Lake lines at the
conference this afternoon. The action
taken at these two meetings tonight, it
is thought, will end for some time to
come the negotiations which have been
in progress for over two weeks to bring
about settlement of the dock troubles
The grain shovelers will refuse to make
any further proposition to either the
Lake Carriers or the contractor, and as
the Lake Carriers some days ago de-
cided to withdraw from the conflict, the
indications are that the strike will be
permitted 10 weak llSSlL out.
The final conference between Contrac-
tor Corners and the men was held this
afternoon. The men announced before
they took part in it that If it did not
result in some agreement they would
break off negotiations. At this confer
ence the strikers proposed that there be
inserted in n1raaHV
reached with the Lake Carriers asso-
citation clause governing the appoint
ment of boss scoopers. This clause
provided that the grain shovelers should
submit the names of ten men for each
elevator out Of which the contractor
should select his boos scoopers Mr.
Conners refused to agree to the PROPOSE
ton and the men left the conference.
At o'clock President Mcmahon re-
ported to meeting of grain shovelers
the result of the conference. A wild
scene ensued. The men poured out
their wrath upon the president and the
committee for having attempted to
make such terms; declared that they
would have refused them even if the
contractor had accepted them, and, in
contractor, the committee and even
Bishop Quigley, resolution was adopt
ed to the effect that the executive COM
mittee representing the strikers should
establish an office and wait there for
the Lake Carriers association to come
to them and agree to break the contract
with Mr.. Conners. Another resolution
was adopted prohibiting the officers of
the executive committee from negotiat-
ing further with Mr.. Conners or maxi
ing any advances to the Lake Carriers
association. This afternoon Bishop
Quigley re-opened st. Bridgets hall for
the use of the men. The grain shovel
ers, however, refused to occupy it and
headquarters elsewhere. The
international Seamen's union is to
take part in the struggle 1t is claim
ed that the crews on the vessels are
assisting in the work of unloading
grain. A committee of members of the
union is to begin work Immediately for
the purpose of inducing the crews of
lake vessels to leave their ships.

Nothing Known of Letter.

Copenhagen, May 19.-Nothing is
known here as to the reported discovery
of a letter written by Professor Andree,
the missing Arctic explorer, said to
have been found in bottle early last
by a farmer named Johann Magnussen.
A letter in a bottle was found recently
containing reports of last years work
of Professor Nathorst's eXperition en-
gagged in testing arctic currents. This
bore the address Of Ernest Adree,
brother of the aeronaut, who was the
manager of the expedition.

SELECT COURT DECISIONS.
A Laborer Working for IA Contractor
Cannot Recover Pay From CITY.

Boston, May 19,-It was held by the
full bench OF the supreme court to-day
in the case of Patrick McHugh VS.. the
city of Boston that a laborer's claim
for wages for work done in the employ
of contractor in the construction of a
highway is not a debt which he can re-
cover from the city. The court decided
against the plaintiffs claim, saying
that if the legislature intended to in
clude public highways, it is strange
that 1t did not expressly say SO; and
that in no proper sense can the public
ways be said to be owned by the town.
The court decided, in the petition of
Joseph f. Dean for write of manda-
mus, in a poor debtor case, that dis
charge from bankruptcy releases a Pc
titioner from debt under the language
of the bankruptcy act.

VILE BE A F.1HUR f..
Statement ofan Eminent Member ofthe
Peace Conference.


London, May 2o.-The correspondent
of the Morning Post at The Hague tele-
graphs as follows: IAN eminent mem
ber of the peace conference says that
it is simply an act of polteness to the
czar and will yield no practical result,
simply because it cannot. The powers,
he asserts, are too disunited and watch
each other too closely to arrive at an
understanding in their programme. His
prediction is that there will be long
discussion and then a 'tirst-class burial
of the czar's propositions.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
at The Hague says: "The chairman
ship of the arbitration section, | un-
derstand, has been offered to and ae-
cepted by Sir Julian Pauncefote, who,
with the delegates Of the United states
and several of the minor powers, Will
insist upon a permanent international
court of arbitration which will be the
great success of the conference"
