A., having filed the report which completes his services as Military Governor of Cuba and as commander of the military forces stationed In that island from December, 1K99, to the close of the American evacu ation, is relieved from further duty in connection with the affairs of the former military government of Cuba. "The administration of General Wood as military commander of the division and the department of Cuba as Military Gov ernor was highly creditable. The civil government was managed with an eye single to the benefit of the Cuban people, under tho supervision and control of the Military Governor. The Cuban people themselves had an opportunity to carry cn their government to constantly in creasing degrees, so that when Cuba as sumed her independence she started with th best possible chance of success. "Out of an utterly prostrate colony a free republic was built up. The new na tion started under more favorable condi tions than has ever before been the case in a single Instance among her fellow Spanish-American republics. This record stands alone In history, and the benefit conferred thoreby upon the people of Cuba v. as no greater than the honor conferred ipcn the people of the United States. "The War Department, by direction of f :e President, thanks General Wood and tho officials, civil and military, serving v nder him upon the completion of a work p difficult, so important and so well done."

General Wood will make a report to tho department upon his ar rival at his post in the Philippines. This report will be of special Interest to the department, in view of the fact that the department is endeavoring to determine how best to employ native forces in the Philippines, whether to maintain the na tive scouts as now organized and the con stabulary separately, or to merge them rnder some new arrangement.

SWAMP SCRIP IS GOOD SELECTIONS OF MONTANA LAND IN LIEU WILL BE APPROVED. Secretary Hitchcock Overrules Con trary Decision hy Commissioner of the General Land Office. HELENA, Mont, March 25. Special.) A most important decision has just been received by the Helena land office from the Secretary of the Interior, E. A. Hitch cock, to the effect that all land selections made in Montana in lieu of lands in the Cascade forest reserve in Oregon will be approved by the department. This is a direct reversal of the decision of the Commissioner of the General Band Office in Washington, who held all of these selections for rejection on the ground that they did not show a complete title to the base lands in Oregon, in-lieu of which the Montana lands were selected.

WHERE WILL GAMBLERS GO SPOKANE SOON TO BE CLOSED AGAINST THOSE WH6 TOIL NOT. Nearly, Five Handred Men in That City Alone Will Have to Learxi Some Other Mode of Life SPOKANE, March 25. (Special.) Where will the 400 or 500 gamblers and their sat ellites go when the town closest Is a question that is, uppermost in the sport ing circles of Spokane. Since Spokane as sumed prominence on the map, these gen tlemen of. fortune have always found Spo kane a productive spot and a fine place to Winter. Their occupation gone (and few of them will work at anything that soils clothes or Involves muscular exer tion), with the whole Pacific "Northwest" closed, there must either be an exodus or some of them must pursue questionable methods on dark nights. Gamblers are notoriously improvident. Few of them will have more than the clothes on their backs when the order to take out the wheels and the faro layouts comes. It is, therefore, safe to say that unless some means are provided for traveling, there will ho upwards of 500 men stranded here, men who are not ornaments to the com munity. It is this problem which a proprietor of the combination gambling-house is trying to solve. On -his payroll there are up wards of 40 men. It is the custom of gambling-houses to pay the dealer and the booster at the end of the shift, and he has adop'ted this method: Each day and night, as the employe Is paid off, the pro prietor holds out a dollar. If gambling continues until June 5, the date set for the closing, there will be a 'credit of $S5 to each man, and the money will be In the hands of the proprietor, who knows how to save and accumulate money. He will ascertain the wish of the hired gambler as to his ultimate destination, proceed to the railroad ticket office, buy the gambler his ticket, and pay for sleeping-car ac commodations, arrange to have some ono meet the gambler at the train and the night set for departure will give the man his tickets and the balance of the $S5, and bid him farewell. Boosters Dependent on Bosses. Of course, there are some gamblers who have families. Most of these men have been trying to save their money. The more respectable will seek other fields of labor and perhaps will become useful citizens. To such men the stonnaPA nf gambling will not be unwelcome, for they nope 10 ne respectable. It is not the po lice who worry about the Immediate fu ture of the gamblers out of work. It Is the proprietors of the gambling-houses, most of whom have invested In Spokane real estate, are interested In mines near by. and exnect to make Snnknnft thoir home in years to come. With very few exceptions, these proprietors are not bad citizens. In any other business they would he called solid citizens. They are open-hearted, quiet, unassuming people, always ready to respond to calls for con tributions to public enterprises, and will ing to strictly obev everv law ptcmi thnt which makes their present business un- lawiui. it is tney wno win be called upon to take care of the lmnrovldent ram. biers, and the prospect Is not alluring. viney encourage tneir men to save every dollar possible between now and June 5, and no doubt will heln manv n strnnflorf employe to reach some more productive The exodus nrobahlv will h pastwarfl and to the southwest. Arizonn. Is snM tn be a good stamping ground, and it is whls- perea in tne inner ring that Colorado cit ies are "wide open." How One "Roll" Disappeared. At least three of the knights of the irreen cloth have n stnltf nn nriifi tn leave town, if thev have not nlreaflv Ho- parted. By means of collusion, the pro prietor says, they swept away a bank roll in less time than it takes to tell it. The scheme was worked out in tho n-cci Club, and the game attacked was that Known as "nign suit." "High suit" consists of three or four decks of cards and a -nlla of a dealer to distribute the pasteboards and outsiaers to do the betting. The 200 odd cards are shuffled thoroughly and four cards are dealt to each player who has money on tho line. The dealer turns over one card. If the player has a card of the same suit as the dealer that will beat the dealer's card, he is paid the amount he placed on the line. If he has two cards that beat the dealer he gets double. It is, therefore, possible, if the player has four cards of the same suit as tho dealer, for money placed on the line to ba quadrupled. Ace Is high in this game. If you tie the dealer you save your money. It Is charged that two friends of the dealer sat down at the table and soon won five or ten dollars each. Then came a deal which was a bad one for the pro prietor. One of the players bet $30 on the line and got three cards higher than the one the dealer turned over, and of the same suit. That strnio of fnrm .netted $50. Another deal and the bank roil or about $300 had disappeared into the players' pockets. The floor superin tendent happened along at this time and when the dealer told him the bank roll must be replenished, the floor man paid the dealer his wages and advised him to "git." The dealer swears the money was lost fairly, but the boss gamblers shake their heads and mutter, "I dinna ken." Grange Meeting- at Pullman. PULLMAN, Wash., March 25. (Special.)
