BR00KE'S CABINET RESIGNED.

Wood formally took charge of the COVER.
nor generals office at o'clock this morn
ing.
His first act was to accept the resig-
nation of the members of the advisory
cabinet of Gen. Brooke. These officials
after considering the question over night
had decided to insist upon retiring. Their
decision meets with public approval. Al
most without exception they had render
ed themselves particularly obnoxious to a.
majority of the Cubans
One prominent Cuban general said TO-
day:
"The only chance Gen. Brooke's secre-
taries have, if they wish to rehabilitate
themselves in the eyes of their country
men, is to resign and thus, for a time
bring forgetfulness."
The same general discussing Gen.
Brooke's farewell proclamation, said:
The proclamation was ill-adVised. Cuba
is bound, in the course of time, with food
and without war to arrive at a state of
comparative comfort. No man has a right
to regard himself as the sole cause of such
improvements. AS matter of fact, under
Gen. Brooke's administration the military
authorities overrode the civil, and there
is less civil government now than before
AS for the courts, they are the same cor
rupt organizations and are virtually un-
changed in any important particular. All
this, in my opinion, most Cubans will al
tribute to the bad advice given Gen.
Brooke by his secretaries"
1t is also believed that no governor will
be appointed for Santiago, but that an
experiment in civil government on much
broader scale than ever before will be in
itiated there, Gov. Gen. Wood having su-
pervision of the experiment from Havana
Gen. Wood this afternoon visited the
prison and the penitentiary and seemed
much interested, although he declined to
comment upon the experiences. He was
accompanied by Gen. Ludlow and Gen
Chaffee.

WEST TEXAS PEARL-HUNTERs
Growth of an Obscure Industry.
Valuable Gems Sent North.
From the New York Post.


From the New York Post.
Some fine pearls from the Concho river
in Texas are now marketed in this CITY,"
said dealer in precious stones to-day.
"Of late years. pearl-hunting in that local
ity has been developed into a considerable
industry. The harvest is brought north
by a competent man about twice a year.
As rule, the pearls command as high
price as any in the market No finds
of extraordinary value have been made,
so far as 1 know; but the average is very
good. Most of the pearls find a sale at be-
tween s. and S95; good many come nearer
the latter price than the former. Some
years ago, nobody considered the Texas
pearls as important; the growth of the
industry has been gradual and quiet.
MEN hunt along the Concho from its
mouth to its source at various times; but
the most profitable fields seem to be in
Sterling Concho, and Tom Green counties,
where a number of pearl-trading COM
panies have been organized, both for har-
vesting and selling.
'These counties are thnly settled; that
account for the fact that the existence of
the industry is not well known in Texas
at least, not the extent of 1t. The nearest
railroad station is many miles away; so
but few people pass through that locality
in the course of a year, and the work is
carried on very quietly. While Sterling
Concho and Tom Green counties yield the
greater part of the harvest, the Llano
river and other tributaries of the upper
Colorado river are good hunting grounds
l have heard it said that some valuable
pearls have been found there"
