UVE NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS. Bran *'•>’ *♦ RecaHad. Cuba' has yiken formal notice of the statement of Consul-General Bragg, at Havana, that "Uncle Sam might as well try to make a whistle out of a pig's tail as to do anything with these people." General Bragg has himself made an explanation to the State Department, but it is generally conceded that hi* usefulness as a diplomatic representative of this Government in Cuba is ended. The matter has been passed to President Roosevelt, who will decide whether or not General Bragg roust be retired. His recall from Havana will probably follow, whether Cuba is inclined to press the matter or not. ’I he Cuban Government brough: the matter to the attention of the United State* through Minister Squiers at Havana. He was asked whether or not General Bragg wgs responriWe for the statement, which was published ir United State* as a part of a letter ten to his wife.
