Bald Secretary Alger to-day, in commenting upon the published etory that! the President or himself had countermanded any order made by Gen, Brooke relative to the disarmament of tho Cuban troops. IThe President canvassed very thoroughly wKh.

Secretary Alger and Gen. Brooke the best method of securing the disbandment of the Cuban troops and their re'-entry into industrial life. It was decided that necessary steps toward this end was the surrender of the arms held by the Cuban soldiers; It was apprehended, that retaining their arms, some, if not a large portion, inclined by their past predatory existence, would lapse Into brigandage. So the President himself ordered Gen- Brooke to cause the arms of the Cuban soldiers to be delivered up to representatives of the United States army. With these Instructions Gen.

Brooke has been patiently striving to carry out the President's plan. iHe has arrived at that point where the Cuban leaders, as a matter of sentiment, they say. make it a condition of disarmament that the arms shall be placed in the custodv of the mayors of the Cuban towns. Realizing that to assent to such conditions would be contrary to the President's instructions. Gen.

Brooke has teleigraphed to Secretary Alger the facts in the ease, and asked for a decision. The Secretary has communicated with tne President and asked for instructions, for he feels that he is not authorized to amend or revoke an order originally emanating directly from the President. That is the state of the case at present. The President has not yet notified the "War Department of his intentions. It is said at the War Department that should the Cuban leaders refuse to accept Gen.

Brooke's proffer, whether it Is conditioned upjn the surrender of arms to the United States Army officers, or to Cuban Mayors, that will terminate the efforts of the Governor-General to come to a satisfactory arrangement with these leaders. For, thereupon. Gen. Brooke will proceed to address himself directly to the Cuban private soldiers. He will have his agents United States Army officers pay off every bona fide Cuban soldier who is willing to comply with the fonriitions laid down Men fine glazed and em- Bovs' Madras Negligee Boys' All-Wool Double-bossed Calf Hkia Belts, Shirts, without collars, Breaxted Knee rant Suitu 35c 50c 'xt, heavy 2 2 Men a extra fine qnnlity Tonng Men's ntylioh Cas- Kib Bicycle Madras Negligee ir eimere.

Quigley, who wants to be Water Commissioner of St. Louis, and whom Mayor Ziegenhein wants to be Water Commissioner of St.

Louis, is a candid man. He wants to Water Commissioner, he says, because it would give him valuable prestige in his business. He proposes to put in a filter plant for St. Louis because it would be worth 1100,000 to him. He is out for profit, he don't care who knows it and he is proud of it.

John B. Quigley is called a promoter. A promoter in the common understanding, is a person who "plugs along" somebody else's Interests for a consideration. John B. Quigley is a promoter for John B.

Their advertisements are well known to the readers of tha Ontral Baptist and several other papers and the advertisements of the Mayfield Sanitarium cautiously stand out to correct impressions that wera calculated to lead our frienda from us.

There was a cut, five inches long, on his head, which Dr. INewcomb at the South Side Dispensary said was serious. 'Harris said that his home was In Cornerstone, IMiss.

Last Sunday, he said, he boarded an Iron Mountain train at Annapolis. intending to beat his way to St. Louis. A brakeman discovered him and ordered him off. Harris offered the brakeman 50 cents, which was refused.

The brakeman struck him on the head with a club and knocked him off the train. Harris was unconscious for awhile, but regained his senses and started back to Annapolis. The man in charge of the railway pump house met the wounded negro and took him into the town, where he got a doctor to dress his wound. The operator put him on board a train and tie was carried to Hogan, Mo. Harris then made his way to Ironton, where a physician again dressed his wounds.

Harris offered to work for the doctor 1f he would care for tiis wounds until they were healed. The doctor would not do this and Harris managed to get to St. Iouis. Harris does not know the name of the brakeman who struck him. He gave the police a description of the man and said he could identify him if he were arrested.
