Gen. Brooke Ignores Cubans.

Gen. Brooke soon after taking COM
mand of the American troops in Cuba
issued an order that the Cuban insur-
gent army would in no way be recog-
nized during the evacuation of Havana.
The Cubans became greatly excited.
They stood on every corner discussing
the situation in a half frenzied man.
ner. The Cuban peace commission
after stormy interview with Gen.
Brooke telegraphed Gen. Gomez not to
come to Havana, as he intended, as no
courtesy could be shown him. They
said: "We have not fought for change
of masters We have fought for liberty
and not new ownership. Our army
is still in the field. They shall not lay
down their arms until we find out
whether we are to be slaves or free"

Serious Rioting at Havana.

The American troops were fred on
in Havana by rioters. The whole city
is in an uproar. A detail of Co. M,
Tenth United States infantry, while
quelling a riot which broke out on
Bombay street, was fred on. The
regulars returned the fire, and sent
volley after volley into the crowd of
rioters. Two Spanish sailors were
wounded and Spanish marine was
killed by the Americans. A number
of other persons were also wounded in
the melee which caused the interfer-
ence of the American troops. Three
Cubans were fatally injured. Several
Spaniards who were carried away by
friends were wounded, but it is not
known how seriously. None of the
American soldiers were wounded.
The whole population is in a state of
unrest-the Spanish residents fearful,
the Cubans eager to do something to
show they have gained their freedom.
Riots are constantly occurring and the
wounded may be numbered by the
score. Bands of Cubans freely enter
the residences of Spaniards, call upon
them TO hoist American and Cuban
flags and to shout "Viva Cuba libre, :"
and terrify them with their machetes.
The Spanish troops still further con-
tracted their lines and withdrew to
the extremity of the peninsula on
which the city of Havana is built. The
United States troops have moved from
the suburbs into the city proper and
are patrolling Central park and the
Prndo. The Eighth and Tenth infan.
try regiments have been placed at the
disposal of Maj. Gen. Ludlow, Ameri-
can military governor of the city.

TROUBLE IN THE PHILIPPINES.


Gen. Rios, the Spanish commander
In the Visayas islands, has telegraphed
to bis government from Iloilo, capital
OF the island of Panay, as follows: "Am
preparing to embark on the steamer
Leo XIII. for Zamboanga, Island OF
Mindanao, having formally surren-
dered Iloilo. Have charged German
consul with the protection of Spanish
interests" Though the dispatch Is
ambiguous ii is assumed that the sur
render Of Iloilo was to the Americans,
as troops were recently sent from Ma
Mia for that purpose.
Later reports, however, show that
the American forces had arrived too
late on the scene and that the insur-
gents had added to the difficulty OF the
problems already presented by hoisting
their flag over the city, which they
have been besieging for months. Gen.
Otis reports as follows:
'Sent Col. Potter on fast vessel to
Iloilo to communicate with Spanish
Gen. Rios; latter evacuated before
Potter arrived and insurgents took
possession Of city. Potter found
Aguinaldo's flag flying. Spanish forces
have evacuated all stations in southern
islands, except Zamboanga, Mindanao,
by orders, as they say, from Madrid" "
The evacuation by the Spaniards Of
all the Philippine ports, although
doubtless inspired by desire to secure
their safety by concentration, un-
doubtedly has done much to compli-
cate the problem already presented the
war department of extending the mill
tarv jurisdiction of the United States
over the islands. 1t is presumed that
Gen. Otis will demand the surrender
of Iloilo into his hands, and this de-
mand may at once raise tho issue be-
tween the insurgents and our own
government of possession of the islands.

NEWSY GENERALITIES
ITEMS GATHERED FROM ALL
DIRECTIONS.
The increasing of the Standing Army Il
Opposed by Part OF the House Com.
mittee on Military Affairs-Clayton
Bulwer Treaty VIII be Abrogated.


The minority of the house commit
tee on military affairs have filed their
report in opposition to the Hull bill
for the increase of the regular army to
100, 900 men.
The minority claims that such a
standing army would In time of peace
be a menace TO the liberty of citizens.
and in time of war would not be suffl-
cient to meet successfully the armies OF
the first class powers of the world;
that large standing army is not a
necessity; that the Hull bill will cost
the people annually the sum of $780,
100000 and as s145, 100000 are being
annually paid to the soldiers Of the
civil war and the war with Spain, a
permanent charge Of S295, 900, 900 would
be placed upon the people of the United
States to maintain the military estab-
lishment alone, to say nothing of the
navy; that the passage of this bill
means the practical destruction of the
national guard and the volunteer
troops of the states; that it is well uu-
derstood that the great corporate in
terests of the country are demanding
this large standing army for most OBJ
vious reasons, and a President domin-
ated by such interests would have,
with such a standing army, the means
at his hand to invade the liberties of the
people, to suppress freedom of speech
and to desecrate the ballot box itself.
The minority offer substitute for
the Hull bill which provides for per-
manent standing army of 10000 en-
listed men--about the number in the
army before the war with Spain. 1t
also provides for $4,000 volunteers to
be taken from the states and territories
In proportion to population: these vol
unteers are to be mustered out within
two years from date of the passage Of
the act, their organization to be the
same as that of the regular army.
Volunteer organizations now in service

ment. All volunteers now in the SER

sampson Accuses Spain of Fraud.

Admiral Sampson has reached New
York from Havana. He says the Cuban
evacuation commissions work Is prac-
tically complete and agreement thereto
satisfactory with one sxception-and
that may vet cause serious trouble.
The admiral declares that Spain Sc
cretly transferred the larger portion
of crown land and buildings to private
individuals and corporations, especially
religious corporations,in in order to cheat
the United States and Cuba out Of it.
This underhand work began some time
ago, but most of it has been done since
the surrender at Santiago. The
scheme will be frustrated, however, as
the commission has almost complete
records of property owned by Spain In
Cuba previous to the war and Uncle
Sam will insist that it be turned over
according to the terms of evacuation.
