CASE WAS APPEALED.
Case Against General Brooke on su-
preme Court Docket

Washington. Sept. H.-The appeal of
the Spanish Countess of Buena Vista. in
her damage suit against Major General
JChp H. Brooke. which was recently de-
cided against her by the federal district
court Of New York has been docketed
i'm the supreme court Of the United States
The New York court held that while the
countess had cause for action against the
government of the United States, or that
OF Cuba she had none against General
Brooke. and il is asserted in the appeal
that this ruling is erroneous.
The origin of the suit is found in the
abolition by General Brooke while he was
governor general of Cuba in 1899 OF the
countess right to slaughter all the cattle
killed in Havana. This right had been
exercised by her f. lily since 1727. and she
asked damages i'm Inc sum of $4,000.

More Officers Needed.

The navy department is greatly i'm need
Of more officers and men and will have
much trouble in providing crews for a
number of warships which have been
stripped to man ships now in Cuba or
about to go there. The Tennessee. Wash
ington. Georgia and Connecticut have
been stripped OF officers and crews to man
the Prairie, Brooklyn and Texas, which
arc already under orders to take marines
TO Cuba. The marine corps is about 600
men beneath its full quota. but it is be-
lieved that with the prospect of imme-
date service outside of the United States
the marine corps will have no difficulty
liz filling it's numbers up to the full quota

In Porto Rico viii be used by the army

accustomed to and not what might be
suggested they ought TO have for service
i'm tropical countries Some military OBJ
servers marveled at the amount of work
accomplished by the japanese soldiers on
a diet OF rice and dried fish. IL was sug-
gested that American soldiers, when per-
forming service in tropical countries
ought to be given a large amount Of
rice I'm their rations. This question was
considered by the army authorities and
decided adversely TO the rice diet.
A strong, sustaining American ration
will be given the soldiers if they go TO
Cuba-just as good a ration as now is
served TO them at their stations I'm this
country. No chances will be taken on
creating discomfort among the troops by
denying TO them proper things to eat to
which they have been accustomed.
