WOOD TO SUCCEED BROOKE.
Lee Not Made GovernOr-Generai BE-
cause of Politics.
washington Correspondence Philadelphia
Times)

washington Correspondence Philadelphia
Times)
The conditions In Cuba are causing con-
siderable apprehension in the War De-
partment, and IT is rumOred that General
Brooke is to be recalled and the position
OF Military Governor be given TO General
Leonard Wood who has so successfully
governed the province of Santiago.
General Sanguilly. who manipulated the
Cuban Assembly so successfully is re-
garded as n politician too shrewd for
General Brooke to cope with. Sanguilly
is more influential with the Cuban plot
ters and intriguers than General Gomez
has been. and the conditions existing in
Habana are regarded as largely due to his
manipulatiOns.
General Fitzhugh Lee is known to army
officers to be exceptionally well equipped
for the military governorship. but that
position will not be given TO him because
of political considerations. General Lee
has been practically without a command
ever since he went to Habana the last
time. He is without authority and appa-
rently without influence.

GENERAL COMETS MANIFESTO.
Cuban Objection to surrendering
Arms-Anti-A american Expressions.

HABANA. May 1.-THE manifesto
which General Maxine Gomez is prepar-
ing to issue will not only review his own
position as TO the payment of the Cuban
army, but probably will direct :he forces
to disband. Following it's publication, Gov
ernOr-General Brooke will issue a nodi-
fled order, eliminating the necessity for
the participation Of any Cuban command
er in the distribution OF the $1,000 900. The
Governor General regards Gomez as hav-
ing acted sincerely throughout. and be-
lieves that his withdrawal from the ques-
ton Of distribution to an attitude Of
friendly inactivity" has been forced
him by the desertion of generals upon
whom he had relied.
Members of the late Military Assembly
and other interested persons, belonging
TO the new revolutionary club styled the
Veterans Association. met last night at
Cerro, and INDUCED I'm a prolonged debate
on the question OF the Cuban troops sur
rendering their arms one group was in
favor OF entrusting the arms to the bril-
gade chiefs. or Cuban municipalities. An
other group was opposed altogether to
surrendering the arms. saying 1t might
be necessary TO use them against Amer
lean pretensions."

One legislative need that has been

err freedom TO the cities. OF all the
bills introduced at the present session
so per cent had their origin in The
needs OF the city of Milwaukee and 10
per cent in Superior, while 10 per cent
hailed from other cities. The prolong-

probable. will in a large measure be
due to consideration of local municipal
bills. However, no step to remedy
this trouble will probably now be
taken.

SUBJECT TO APPROVAL.
Acts of Samoan Commission to BE
Only Temporary

Washington. April Sit IL not be-
lleved here that there will be any din
Guilty in arranging the details Of the
commission to plan for the settlement
OF the Samoan trouble, arising from the
reluctance on the part OF the British
government to throw aside the Berlin
treaty. II Is proposed that the COM
mission shall visit the islands, make a
careful inquiry into the existing condi-
lions and then enact measures as may
seem necessary. II will be understood
that whatever the commission does In
that line will be purely temporary in
character and subject to the approval
of three governments party to the Ber-
lin treaty. Then the commission Will
be asked to frame scheme for the
submission to and approval by each
OF the three powers for the future gov
eminent Of the islands, involving per-
haps some more or less radical changes
u the original Berlin treaty. Neither
-, the three governments, therefore,
chances the loss OF any substantial In
terest In the Samoan group by accept
ing this commission plan and this Is
probably the explanation OF the an
nounced acceptance by the British gov
eminent OF the principle OF the com
mission plan. The president has not
yet selected a commissioners to repre-
sent the United States government,
