TESTIMONY OF GEN. BROOKE
Says Wood Was InsubOrdinate and Acted
Over His Superior's Head.

Says Wood Was Insubordinate and Acted
Over His Superior's Head.
Major General John r. Brooke re-
tired, ex-governor general of Cuba, was
the next witness, and his testimony
charged INSTRUMENTATION against Wood.
The witness offered in support of his
statements many documents taken
from records at the war department,
and several papers from his personal
collection. AS evidence Of inSubOrdina
tion General Brooke called attention to
the building of barracks at Santiago,
near the MORO, without Wood first
having given notice to the department
at Havana. General Brooke said also
that General Wood continually sent
communications to the war department
over the head of his commanding Off
Ger.
General Prooke called to the atten-
ton of the committee, in support of
an allegation that General Wood had
neglected to work in harmony with
the military government, the matter
of General Woods attitude toward the
newspapers at Santiago, which repeat
edly made attacks on General Brooke's
administration. General Brooke read
a number of these attacks, and also
his recommendation to the war depart
ment that the papers be suppressed
unless they desisted
Wood was asked by the adjutant
general to explain and replied over the
head of his superior officer, saying that
freedom of speech, untrammeled criti-
cism of the military government, and
absolute independence in all matters
was a necessary part of the education
OF the Cubans to fit them to conduct
a liberal government.
General Brooke told the committee
that on Jan. f. 1899, General Wood
without consulting his superior officer
obtained permission to visit Washing

WORSE THAN MvRMONISM
Terre Haute Preacher Says That POlygamy
Is Preferable to Divorce as 1t
Is PractiCed.


Terre Haute Ind, Dec. Rev. G.
w. Tinsley, at the Centenary Meth
Odist Episcopal church, while discuss
ing divorce, took the ground that the
polygamy Of Utah was less criminal,
saying in part: GA community without
a home. is almost of necessity a bad
place. The immortality of lumber and
mining camps is easily explained. There
is no real home life. 1t is almost a sin
against society when family takes to
boarding, for it makes one home less
and destroys the unity.
Marriage is not SO much a'~matter
of personal convenience as q social
duty. Divorce is a direct thrust at
the home and social unity. We make
much of the polygamy Of Utah. and
demand that Reed SmoOt leave our
United States senate, but polygamy is
the very whitest bird in the whole
nest; and this polygamy Of Utah is
not so great as the evil of the pro-
sressive polygamy practiced all over
this universe by means of divorce"

criticising the administration of Major
General Brooke. He said that Gener-
al Wood visited him after the publica-

article put him (Wood in an awkward
position. The witness said that when
