Belief That the Question Of An
nexation to This Country or
a| Independence
1WiA Be Submitted ato.a stVote~of;
the People of Cuba Before
Long. -.~
Brooke May Be Called to Wash
ingtOn and Wood Made Gov.
crnOr General:

New YORK, July IL. According to
a correspondent Of The World at WASH
ington. President Mckinley is working
energetically upon plan to submit the
question of independence or annexation
to the people of Cuba. He believes that
they would vote for annexation.
Reports from, Governor General
Brooke Indicate a contrary view, but
the president has received confidential
letters from Influential representatives
Of commercial interests and from other
sources in and about Havana. which
have convinced him that General
Brooke is mistaken, and that the people
in the Western portion of the island, as
we'll as those in the Eastern portion.
would gladly vote for a territorial gov
ernment under the greater republic.
General Wood, it is learned. made
many suggestions which will be pub
lished for the guidance of the COM
manders of other Cuban provinces.
The president inquired particularly
as to the extent Of the sentiment for
and against annexation.
Il am firmly convinced" said Cen
eral Wood, "that annexation would be
carried by four to one in Santiago. The
people Of that province. and I believe
of the majority Of the other provinces,
do not want independence. They have
realized many benefits from the tenn
porary government we have given them,
and are anxious to secure these benefits
permanently"
1t is stated upon very high authority
that the president desires General
Brooke's attendance in Washington, in
the capacity of confidential adviser and
is contemplating the substitution in his
place of General Wood, as governor
general of Cuba.

LONDON. July 1s.-The officials Of the
colonial Office, when questioned regard
ing the special dispatch from Washing
ton, published in New York news
paper, saying the Canadian government
had decided to send body of mounte,l
police to the Porcupine region near the
Linn canal, in Alaska, to maintain or
der, which it was intimated, would re-
suit in the government Of the United
States sending troops to occupy Pyr;.-
mid Harbor, absolutely denied that
there was any possibility Of Canada
contravening Great Britain's pledge to
keep out Canadian police from the dis
puted strip if the United States govern
ment agreed not to send troops to Pyra-
mid Harbor. The colonial Office Of
1icials added that if any police had been
dispatched it would be found that they
are the regular reliefs for the North
west posts and certainly no other forces
had baen dispatched to Alaska.

NO VOLUNTEER COLoNELs.

Only Regular Army Onacers VIII Com.
mand New Regimsnts.
3 WASHINGTON, July t.-The proposed
organization of nine volunteer regi-
ments will place a number of important
military commissions at the disposal Of
the president. Although there will be
three new brigades Adjutant General
Corbin says it is not likely that more
than one additional brigadier general
will be needed, the other two being pro-
vided for by officers Of that grade now
in the army whose terms Of enlistment
are about TO expire. Probably the most
important point in connection with the
proposed volunteer organization is the
presidents declared intention to ap-
point none but officers OF the regular
army to the command Of the nine new.
regiments. @
It is not unlikely. however. that some
Of the most efficient volunteer officers
may be selected for subordinate COM
smands in the different regiments, inas-
much as the decision to appoint only
regular army officers does not apply to
positions below the grade Of colonel.

and the merchants of that place have
attempted to profit beyond reason by
this situation. They raised prices be-
yond reason. upon which point the
mayor argued with them, pointing out
the injustice of their attitude. The
merchants, however, refused to modify
their prices and the mayor therefore is
sued an order regulating prices and
providing a heavy fine for violation of
the ordinance. Food is now cheap and
the price Of liquors is high. There
are about 5000 men in and about
the city, but still there have been
no disturbances. All those who
had arms in their possession have de-
Gvered them to the m syor and have OBJ.

obtain payment when paying off begins.
The newspapers here have received
dispatches from Santiago de Cuba. ask
ing them to- thank Governor General
Brooke for his efforts In behalf of the
Cubans, and for his orders to pay them
as promptly as possible. which will pre-
vent great deal Of suffering.
The Spanish consul at Cienfuegos,
Senior Alvarez Fernandez, has arrived

and to remove all bitterness of feeling
which may exist in the minds of Span
iards there.

WASHINGTON, July 12. Secretary AL
ger is very anxious to have the new
regiments recruited as far as possible
from men who served in the state vol
unteers during the Spanish war. He
has received information from num-
Der of officers, especially those who
were on duty mastering out volun-
teers in different states. that if there
was an opportunity afforded probably
80 per cent of the new regiments would
be composed of these men. OF course,
under the regulations, the recruiting Of
fcers cannot discriminate between the
men who have been in the volunteer
service and those who have not and men
will be enlisted as they apply, without
regard to their previous service records.
