Mr.. Whiteside
We'll. If they did not come to you and

PERMANENT PEACE IN CUBA.
General Wilson Believes Our Troops
May BE Speedily Withdrawn.

| The Secretary OF War was in consultation
/ for several hours yesterday with Gen.
| James H. Wilson, commanding the Depart
ment of Matanzas and Santa Clara, in
Cuba. General Wilson called at the War
| Department early in the morning and was
occupied for an hour in explaining to Sec
rotary Root the conditions existing in
Cuba, the progress made In reconstructing
the island. the ability of the Cubans to
govern themselves, and the extent of mil
itary control necessary on the part of the
United States TO maintain order until the
Cubans have assumed the reins OF self
government.
General Brooke has maintained in his re-
ports TO the Secretary of War an opposi-
ton TO the withdrawal of any American
troops from Cuba until the Cubans have
more clearly demonstrated that peaceable
conditions now existing are not temporary
General Wood disagreed with General
Brooke in this respect. and believed that
the United States could, without difficulty,
withdraw much of the military force in
Cuba.
II Is said by War Department officials
that General Brooke's opinion of the abil-
ity and progressiveness of the Cubans was
not as favorable 10 them as that OF some OF
the other generals in the island. In this
respect also General Wood disagreed with
General Brooke. Other departmental COM
manders believed with General Wood that
the military force could be considerably
reduced and better civil government in
augurated -
II was for the purpose OF ascertaining the
views of General Wilson that he was or
dered to Washington. In the conference
yesterday morning with the Secretary Of
War, General Wilson paid the highest
tribute to the ability OF the Cubans, He
believed the majority of them to be pro-
gressive and DESTROYS OF maintaining a good
civil government along American lines. He
also disagreed with General Brooke regard
ing the maintenance of a large military
force in the island. General Wilson indi-
Gated to the Secretary of War that he not
only agreed with the departments recent
withdrawal of troops from Cuba, but
thought that a still further withdrawal
could be made with safety. He described
conditions in the island as highly sa;isfac-
tory and peaceful.
Secretary Root and General Wilson went
to the White House in the afternoon,
where, in conference with the President.
General Wilson repeated his views re-
garding present conditions IN Cuba and
the future government OF the island.
General Wilson will probably return TO
Havana within the next two weeks.

BIDDING FOR A RAILROAD.
Two Offers for Control of the West
ern Maryland Line.

| ern Maryland Line.
| BALTIMORE, Jan. s.-Mayor Hayes has
I received enquiries from two sources re-
garding the sale OF the Western Maryland
Railroad. Both came by mail and the
writers intimated that. they desired TO be
allowed the privilege OF investigating the
status OF the railroad preparatory to max
ing bids for the property in case It is to be
sold.
The first came from Gen John II. Bryant,
Of New York. who in 1891 offered So, $50, 900
for the city's interest in the property and
preeipitated the discussion which resulted
in the appointment of a special commission
10 enquire into the desirability OF selling
the road. General Bryant. in his letter.
calls attention to his former bid. This. he
says. has never been Withdrawn or referred.
IF my party purchases the road. fore
closure proceedings and the attendant de-
lays will be unnecessary" he writes.
Some legislation may, however, be
needed"
In reply Mayor Hayes stated that. in case
the city sold he hoped General Bryant
would be a bidder. His own judgment. the
mayor said, was that the property should
be sold, but the matter had been referred
for final settlement to committee of eight
prominent citizens, the city directors. The
other enquiry was from William a. Scott.
an attorney OF Gettysburg. Pa, who wrote
as follows:
Before accepting final bid for the
Western Maryland Railroad please have
result OF expert examination published or
furnished 10 me. AS actuary and attorney
for some New York parties I wish to make
you an offer for the franchises of said
road. provided we can get things arranged
in time
Mr.. Hayes replied TO this letter substan-
TALLY the same as to that Of General Bry-
ant.

CONSOLIDATION OF CHURCHES.
Two Congregations Decide to Unite
and Cense Their Rivalry.

A union OF the Twelfth Street Methodist
Episcopal Church and the Independent
Congregation has been effected, and the
consolidated church will henceforth be
known as the Wilson Memorial Methodist
Episcopal Church, the Rev. c. t. House
being pastor. The union was brought
about through the gift OF Mr., W. l.. Bruen,
who transferred the church edifiee he had
built in Eleventh Street. between G ana
/. southeast, to the Methodist Episcopal
Church. and the building being but ;hree
blocks from the Twelfth Street Church, it
was deemed desirable to unite the two.
Acting upon the suggestion. the Sunday
schools and church congregations met and
formulated plans to consolidate the two.
The address was made by Bishop Hurst,
and the Senior and Junior Societies OF
Christian Endeavor and the Epworth
League later consolidated. The first SER
mon was delivered by DR.. Wilson.

WANT THE LAW CHANGED.
An Effort Will he Made to secure
Changes in Divorce statutes.

It is stated that many Of the prominent
members of the District bar. members of
reform organizations. and some Of the
ministers Of local churches are considering
the advisability Of petitioning Congress
with view of effecting changes in the
existing divorce laws In the District.
1t is said that an effort will be made
to change the law so that the United
States Attorney for the District will con-
duet all divorce proceedings, representing
both the petitioner and the defendant in
all suits for separation This. it is be-
lieved, will prevent collision on the part
either Of the principals or the attorneys
in having divorces granted without suffi-
cient cause.
1t is also believed that putting the
prosecution Of all suits for divorce in the
hands OF the District Attorney would rot
only lessen the expense but would hasten
the consideration OF the matter and so
offer relief where and when it should be
given.
