DINNER RfEBER.

or Philadelphia, Appointed superior Court
Judge by GOV. Hastings.
Harrisburg, Pa, January 2.-Dimner
Beeber, of Philadelphia, was to-day ap-
pointed by Governor Hastings to the
vacancy on the Superior Court bench
created by the death of Judge Howard
Reeder, of EastQn Mr.. Beeber came to
Harrisburg this afternoon from Phila-
delphia and received his commission
from the hands of the executive. He
met the Governor by appointment at
the Executive Mansion and after re-
ceiving his commission, he took the
oath of Office. The new judges COM
mission runs until the first Monday of
January, 1900. By making the ap-
pointment before the meeting Of the
general assembly, the Governor avoid
Ned the necessity of sending the nomi-
nation to the Senate for its action.
Mr. Beeber is Republican and is as
ISOLATED in the practice of law with
Hampton l.. Carson and J. Levering
Jones, of Philadelphia
Col B. Frank Gilkeson, of Bristol,
this evening sent his resignation as
banking commissioner to Governor
Hastings to take effect at once.
Col. Gilkeson was urged by his
friends for the appointment of Superior
Court Judge. Inasmuch as Attorney
General Mccormick, Deputy Attorney
General Reeder and Mr.. Gilkeson, are
the only members of the Governors
cabinet who are lawyers and that the
executive had offered the position of
Judge to both Mccormick and Reeder,
and that neither had accepted, Gilkeson
felt that Hastings had something per-
sonal against him in not rendering him
the appointment. The resignation
created much surprise in political and
official circles at the State Capitol as
it was not generally known that Col.
Gilkeson was being urged for the va
can't Judgeship.

TO PAY CUBANS.

Proposed That the United States Disband
the Army and Take Mortgage on Rev
enues
Havana, January 2.-The continu-
ance of the Cubans in arms is the most
puzzling question connected with the
administration of the island. The ne
J gotiations for the payment of the SOL
diers are to be conducted from Wash
ington, so as to relieve Major General
Brooke of this difficulty. For the pres
ent the Cuban commanders are holding
their men closely together and under
discipline. Gen. Davis, military gov
ernor of the department of Pinar del
Rio, has gone into the matter fully
with Gen. Mario Menooal and other
Cuban commanders. They say that
they expect the United States to pay
them and that they will not disband
until they get an answer. The majority
of military observers here seem to
think that probably the easiest way
out is to make the payment, taking a
mortgage on the revenues of Cuba in
the form of bonds.
There are probably $4,000 men able
to work but now sponging on the eoun-
| try. If paid off ON condition that
their arms were surrendered, they
would have no excuse for not working.
The United States military authorities
do not look with favor upon the no.
ton of forcible disarmament.
Major Kennen, of Gen. Brooke's
staff, while in the department of ag-
riculture to-day, saw forty clerks do
ing nothing, and told thirty-eight to
go home until there was something for
them to do. Gems. Brooke and Lud-
low wish to use all the available clerks
in all of the departments, but it will
be difficult to distinguish between the
| real workers and those who are on the
pay rolls by favor.
A general house cleaning in all the
public buildings is an immediate ne
cessity.
Whether Gen. Lee will garrison the
provincial towns must depend, he says,
upon circumstances, quite likely there
will be some trouble, but nothing to
be seriously concerned about.
Captain Thompson, of the Second IL
linois regiment, Captain Robertson, of
the First North Carolina regiment;
Lieut.. Speying, of the Second Illinois
regiment, and Lieuts. Jackson and Rey-
nolds, of the 161st Indiana regiment,
| began duty to-day as police inspectors.
Liuet. Colonel Nous, chief surgeon,
says that less than one per cent. of the
seventh army corps is on the sick list,
and there is not a single case of yellow
fever among the United States troops.
He thinks it would be unwise to send
| freshly recruited regulars here in the
| spring. 1t would be better to leave the
volunteers, who will have learned how
to take care of themselves.
