Havana, Doc. 21. Maj r Ge jural
' Leonard Wood formally took chargo
of tho govermir-gcnurars ollico at !
o'clock this morning. His 11 rest act
was to accept the resignation of tho
members of tho advisory cabinet of
General Urooko. Theso ottioers, after
considering the question over night,
hud decided to insist on retiring. Al
most without exception they had ren
dered themselves particularly obnox
ious to a majority of tho Cubaos. One
prominent Cuban general said today:
"The only chance General Uroolto's
secretaries have, if they wish to re
habilitate themselves in the eyes of
their countrymen, is to resign, and
thus for a time to bring forgetfulncss."
j The Bamo general, discussing Gen
eral Brooke's farewell proclamation,
said:
j "The proclamation is ill-advised.
Cuba is bound, in tho course of time,
with food and without war. to arrive
at a state of comparative comfort. No
man has a right to regard himself as
tho solo cause of such improvements.
As a matter of fact, uudei General
Brooke's administration tho military
authorities overrode the civil a.d
there is les civil government now
than before. As to the courts, they
are the same corrupt organiz itions
and ate virtually unchanged by any
important particular. All this, in my
opinion, most Cubans attribute to the
bad advice given Geueral Biooke by
his secretaries."
The Lucha, contrasting General
Brooke with General Wood's advent,
says:
"General Brooke's proclamation
was unfortunate as it contained errors.
General Wood, although promising
nothiDg, speaks volumes by bis quiet,
domestic manner of taking charge of
atTairs."
Brooke Will Take His Time.
Washington, Dec. 21. When Ma
jor Geueral Biooke was relieved from
duty in command of the division of
Cuba he was instructed to proceed to
Washington and report to the adjut
ant general for further orders of the
secretary of war. As a result of the
cotrespondence between General
Brooke and Secretary Root, the for
mer has been authorized to suit his
own convenience in the execution of
his orders, tho idea being to allow
him to make the trip from Havana to
Washington by easy stages.
General Brooke has been in a trop
ical climato for nearly two years and
as he is nearly sixty-four years old it
has been deemed best for tho protec
tion of his health to permit him to
accustom himself gradually to the
winter climate of his country by short
stops before coming to Washington.
It is therefore likely that he will not
reach this city much before Feb. 1.
Five Million Likely to Go.
New YoiiK,Dec. 21. Sterling bank
ers predicted today numerous gold en
gagements for Stturday, but all said
it was impossible to estimate with ac
curacy how.much the shipments would
amount. to. One firm admitted that it
might ship from $500,000 to $l,00i,000,
as tomorrow's requirements suggested.
It was believed that at least $5,000,000
would go out.
At the present rate the margin of
profit on gold exports would be small,
it was said, but the demand for the
metal abroad was suffi dent to make
"special transactions" profitab e at
this time.
It was said today that Heidelberger,
Ichheimer & Co. and Mueller, Scahall
& Co., might each ship $500,000
A well known marine underwriter
said that insurance would be obtained
tomorrow for as much gold as local
bankers cared to send by the Etruria.
Although $5,000,000 might be a large
sum to risk on any one steamer, twice
that liability would probably be as
sumed by insurance companies, if
banking interests demanded it.
LoNDON,Dec. 22. The Daily Cnron
icie's financial expert says he under
stands that the Bank of England his
made advances agaiast 2,000,000 gold
to arrive from New York, including
Saturday's shipment.
Make Sailors of Faroier?.
New YoRK,Dec. 21. The converted
cruiser Dixie arrived from Philadel
phia today, having on board 300 lands
men from the Mississippi river valley,
who are to be converted into sailors.
Tho ship, with the recruits aboard,
will circumnavigate the globe, show
ing them the sights while teaching
them how to follow the sea to manage
Uicle Sam's navy. Since the restora
tion of peace it has been difficult to
get sailors to-enlist. It is thought the
present plan will provide all ths sail
ors required and a chance will be given
the crew for pi aces on the new battle
ships.
The Dixie will remain in dry dock
until after Christmas, when it will go
to Norfolk, thence to the West Indies
and later to Europe,probably to France
first. As no other government has
ever tiied to make sailors out of farm
ers, the experiment will be watched
with interest by other nations.

of the founder of tho company,
committed suicide today shortly af er
nnoii at the (i nfton hotel in this city
by cutting his throat with a razor.
Mr. Taylor was suffering from some

tho act was committed apparently on
tho impulse of tho moment. Death
was instantaneous. Deceased was
sixty-three years of ago.
Accompanied by his brother and
son, James I)., and Jay Taylor and Dr.
Leo ho camo to this city December lti
and registered at the Grafton. He
had boen suffering from homo nervous
affi ction for seme timo and was
brought hero under chargo of a physi
cian to see if a change of scene would
not provo beneficial to him.
Tho coroner viewed tho body this
afternoon and gave ' verdict of death
by suicide. It was said at the hotel
tonight that tho body had been taken
away, but the employes professed not
to know where.
The body was dispatched for the late

Not Served Willi Notice.
Frank fout, Ky., Dec. 20. Though
notices of contest have been prepared
against both Governor Taylor and
Lieutenant Governor Marshall, they
have rot ben served and probably
will not bo until Friday. The delay
in serving the notices is said to have
: been planned to prevent taking depo
sitions prior to tho meeting of"! be
legislature, the Goebel people pi ef er
ring to have the whole proceedings
conducted by the contest committee of
tho legislature instead of in part be
fore the court examiners ard later by
the contest committee.
Louis McQuown of Bowling Green
will bo the leading counsel for Goebel
before tho legislature. Taylor's man
agers say counsel for the republicans
will not confino themselves to rebuttal
of tho grounds of contest laid down in
! Goebel's notice, but will go outside and
expect to show flagrant frauds in many
of the large demrcratic counties.
California Golden Jubilee.
SAN Jose, Cal., Dec. 20. The cele
bration of tho golden jubilee of the
founding of California's government
began hero today. The chief feature
of today's proceedings was the repro
duction of the inauguration of Peter
II. Llurnett, the first governor of the
state. The part of Governor Burnett
wastiken by his son, who read the
original inaugural address delivered
on that occasion.
General Joseph Gtewart, U. S. A., of
Berkeley, represented General Ben
nett Riley, who was military and civil
governor up to the t ine of Governor
Burnett's inauguration. This was fol
lowed by a re-enactment of other inci
dents of that day. Among the pio
neers present today were twenty who
are now residents of New England.
The exercises will extend over two
days.
MAJOR LOGAXDIK1) A HKltO
Testimony of Lieutenant Colonel Ifrere

Manila, Dec. L0. 8 p. m. Major
General Law ton's body was brought
from Sin Muteo to Manila, this ufter
noon, his staff and a body of cavalry
acting as escort. It was found necos
Bary to bi iJge tho river.
The funeral will tako placu from his
late residenco here, a mansion for
merly occupied by a Spanish general.
The body has been placed tempo
rarily in a vault at El l'aco cemetery,
whero many of tho American soldiers
have been interred and a guard of
honor will bo maintained.
When Mrs. Liwton and her four
children have completed their ar
rangements for returning to tho
United States tho remains will be
taken,on a transport with an escort of
officers for final Interment, as is
thought probable here, in Arlington
cemetery.
General Law ton's death has caused
universal sorrow in Manila. No
American officer had greater popu
larity among all ranks and in his deal
ings with tho natives he commanded
their respect and confidence to n re
markable degree. The mayors whom
ho installed in the neighboring towns
are arrai ging to attend tho funeral in
a body.
To his executive ability and per
sonal leadership is chielly due the
brilliant execution of tho plan of cam
piin in north Luzon, which has scat
tered the insurrectionary forces from
San Isldro to the Gulf of Lingayen.
That section of the i-land had to be
traversed during the very worst sea
son of the year presented difficulties
considered by all acquainted with it
to bo almost insurmountable, but Gen
eral Lawton thoroughly covered the
program assigned him.
When he reached Tayug and found
that tho other division had not ar
rived he went through to Dagupan on
his own responsibility. Although he
imposed groat hardships on his men
he invariably shared their lot cheer
fully. Thirteen Americans, including
three officers, were wounded in the
engagement at San Mateo, where Gen
eral Lawton was killed. Captain
Breckenridge's wound is not consid
ered dangerous, although tho bullet
penetrated his arm and side.
It is estimated that the insurgents
n umbered 500 and half of them were
armed with rifles. The Americans
numbered 1,300, but the command had
boen much depleted by sickness.
The wagon train found the roads iin
passable'and was obliged to return.
Tho insurgents retreated to the north
east, leaving six dead.
They have other forces near Tay tay.
This region, although close to Manila,
has oroved the most difficult from
which to dislodge the enemy. It is
now reported that the insurgents in
tend to concentrate at Smta Cruz, Lv
guna province, and in the district east
of Laguna de Bay.
The American secret service reports
that Aguinaldo has joined the Mari
quina force.

New York Evening Post: An un

the police board by Patrolman George
W. Rogers of the Gates avenue station,
Brooklyn, who wants to wear eye
glasses. The lids of the policeman's
eyes are inflamed, and the strong wind
affectti his eyes greatly. This is a new
question for the board to decide. Some
sergeants, captains and other oflleers
use glasses on desk duty, but no pa
trolman has ever worn them on patrol
duty. It Is hardly thought that If the
policeman got into a fight he might he
dangerously hurt by his glasses being
broken. Rogers has been a policeman
twelve years. The board has referred
his case to the police Burgeons, who
will examine Rogers and report his

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
With LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot

you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the

is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this country for
years, and is a regular prescription. It is com

the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the

Doctors Can't
Cure It!
Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease ; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it ia
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.
I was afflicted with Blood Poison, and the
best doctors did me no good, though I took
their treatment laltn
' fully. In fact, I seemed
to ret worse all the
while. I took almost
every so-called blood
remedy, but they did not
seem to reach the dis
ease, and had no effect
whatever. I was dl-
- Heartened, ior 11 seemea

p- a friend I then took

medicine, and It cured me completely, build
ing up my health and increasing my appetite.
Although this was ten years ago, I have nevei
yet hada sign of the disease to return.
