A romantic story has been brought
out by the announcement of the en-
gagement Of Ensign Robert w. Hen
derson OF the United States steamer
Brooklyn. and Miss Gcneveve Cronin
of Il wealthy New Haven family. Mis-
Cronin refused to marry Henderson
unless he resigned from the navy. and
he has accepted this condition. Hen
derson served on the battleship Texas
in the fight off Santiago. He went to
Annapolis from Columbus. Ohio, and
was graduated in 1855.
After a hearing before Gov. Roose-
welt at Albany. y. Y. Thursday. on the
report of the investigation of the con
duct of the list New York Volunteers
in cuba. the Governor paid a Compii
ment to the privates and subordinate
officers of the regiment and stated that
while he had not made up his mind as
to what he would do. he strongly init
mated that he would have Major Whit
tie and Lieut. Col. Smith tried before
military court and reprimand Major
Austin in a general order.
