ing to Knott a Donnelly, Of Nome. About
July I she was provfsioned with couple
of tons OF supplies and sent along the
coast to n point a short distance south OF
the mouth OF the Yukon Eight men went
on board her, and the mission OF the party
was kept secret, II being believed that
private information OF new digeings had
been received. The trip was to last from
twenty five TO thirty days. but the party
has not since been heard from. Inquiry
was Instituted and has been continued
but nothing was learned until the news
from 81. Michael. and this Is said to have
been very indefinite.

Brig Gen. William Ludlow Lett Washing
ton yesterday for Havana, in company W b
Secretary Root and party. His trip TO
Cuba. it is stated. is for the purpose of
turning over the affairs of his Office as Mil
itary Governor OF Havana to Brig. Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, who. it is believed, will be
come Military Governor of Havana city,
Havana province. and the province of Pinar
del Rio
While il is said that General Ludlow will
be only temporarily relieved of his CON-
mand in Cuba, it is generally believed that
he will not so back 10 the island after his
return TO Washington. Fer some time it
has been Teportod in Army circles that Gen
eral Ludlow would be brought back from
Cuba. and when Secretary Root issued an
order about two weeks ago assigning Cen
eral Ludlow 10 board to prepare plans for
a war college, il was said then that he
would finally be recalled to Washington.
The work on the board will require several
months time. and when that is finished ii
is believed that General Ludlow vi ne
given Q command in this country.
General Ludlows difficulties with the
leaders among the Cubans are said TO be the
real reason for his being relieved. During
all of his administration in Havana the e
was almost constant friction with some of
the citizens, and the result was that many
protests were filed against him. and the
Administration, it is said. was considerably
embarrassed by his actions.
The consolidation Of the Departments Of
Havana city. Havana province. and the
province of PiDar del Rio is the first move
toward reducing the military force in Cuba.
1t is said that after the April elections.
several thousand soldiers will be returned
to this country and their places taken by
native Cuban soldiers. who are now being
enlisted. Almost the entire civil govern
ment will be turned over to the CubaGs,
and only enough soldiers left on the island
TO assist the natives in pre- serving peace.
