Africa Company binding the company not
TO continue it's railroad to the west coast
from Rhodesia south of the fourteenth de-
gree except from point on the Anglo
German frontier has been approved. Ger
many also will not construct a railroad
north of the fourteenth degree TO the west
coast until the railroad is constructed south
of that degree through German southwest
Africa. Afterwards Germany signed an
agreement permitting Mr.. Rhodes's Cape
to Cairo telegraph line to be carried through
German East Africa in accordance with the
provisions recited in the Reichstag in
March. The above agreement means that
Germany intends that any weStwardly ex-
tension of the Rhodesian lines shall con-
meet with the proposed lines i'm German
East Africa, probably starting from Swa-
much nearer route from England to Rho
desia than via Cape Town.

the War Department the view prevails that
Agunaldo's move does not materially
change the campaign plans, and that these
will be pushed with undated Vigor.

FIGHTING PAYNE'S RESOLUTION
southern Republican Committccmcn
Acting Unit to Defeat the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Delegates.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Representatives
of the rival cities which seek the honor of
entertaining the next republican national
convention began active work today. About
twenty members of the Hamilton club of
Chicago reached here late this afternoon
and established headquarters in handsome
suite of rooms at the Shoreham hotel. The
party is in charge OF Samuel B. Raymond
and is made up of prominent citizens of Chi
Cago.
Tonight meeting was held and the SEN
ators and large number OF republican rep
resentatves from Illinois attended and prom
ised their cordial support in endeavoring to
obtain the convention for Chicago Subcom-
mittees were appointed to canvass the ma
tonal committee and keep up the fight to
the end Mr. Raymond will be one of the
speakers to advocate the advantages of Chi
cago as a convention city.
The Philadelphians, who are already here,
express themselves as delighted with the
result of their three days canvass in Wash
iugton and say they believe Philadelphia
will be selected. They say the only seri-
Gus obstacle they have met is the charge
that Pennsylvania is in favor of resolution
basing the representation in the national
convention on the republican votes cast,
which, If adopted, would cut down the south
ern representation. The southern delegates,
they say, have an idea that Pennsylvania is
for the proposed change and they have
| started out tonight to couuteract this i'm
preston.
Contrary to expectation, the delegation of
| New Workers. who were expected today did
! not put in an appearance, but is expected
! in force tomorrow morning, when the rep
resentatives from St Louis are expected.

! teemen are determined to make fight

upon the republican votes cast The state
ment is made that they propose TO act as

new contract for three years and with the
notice of Reputation presented a contract
of their own drafting, the immediate accept

pealed to President Bowman at the Fedora
tion of Labor at Detroit. The local repre-
sentatives of the typographical union, in
terested through the cessation of publication
of the newspapers, made personal investga-
tion of the merits of the discussion and re-
ported to the International Typographical

WOOD is GOVERNOR OF CUBA
Assigned as Military Commander and
Governor of the Isiand-Ap-
pointment Expected.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-By direction Of
the president Major General Leonard A.
Wood, United States volunteers, was today
assigned to the command of the division of
Cuba. relieving Major General John R.
Brooke. U. s. A. Major General Wood will
in addition to his duties as division com
mander exercise the authority of military
governor of the island.
On completion of the transfer OF the COM
mand Major General Brooke is ordered to
repair to this city and report to the adju-
tant general of the army for further orders
Of the secretary of war. He will be accom-
panied by his authorized aides. In relieving
Major General Brooke the president desires
TO express his high appreciation of and
thanks for the faithful and efficient service
rendered by that officer as military governor
of Cuba.
Secretary Root said this afternoon that
General Brooke had been ordered to Wash
ington, but beyond that nothing had been
settled with regard to his assignment His
presence in the city is desired by the presi-
dent for the purpose of securing informa-
tion as to the actual condition OF affairs
in Cuba. Although Secretary Root would
not admit it, the impression prevails that
General Brooke will be assigned to the COM
mand Of the military Department OF the
Lakes, with headquarters at Chicago, po-
sition held by him prior to the outbreak
of the Spanish war and known to be agree
able to him in every respect.
General Wood called at the War depart
ment this afternoon and personally thanked
Secretary Root for the honor conferred
upon him by his selection as military gov
ernor Of Cuba. He said he would start
for Havana at once and II possible would
leave New York City tomorrow.
