Washington, October 13.-The fol-
lowing cablegram has been received at
the war department.:
San Juan de Porto Rico, October u.
Secretary of War, Washington, D. c.
"The United States commission have
Informed the Spanish commission that
the United States expect to take COM

commission have practically completed
he details of the evacuation and the
joint commission has held its last ses-
sion and adjourned without delay.

ed in San Juan and the flag hoisted at

BROOKE"
This dispatch is very gratifying to
the war department officials and it ends
all contention regarding the posses
sion Of Porto Rico The details Of the
agreement reached by the commits
sioners have not been received at the
department, but, as the negotiations
seem to have progressed smoothly, it
is supposed that the instructions of the
administration to the commission
have been carried out.

Has An Interview with Ray.
To CUBAN Troops W hate
Officers Of Regiment Draw

Officers of Immune Regiment Draw

Santiago de Cuba, October 13.-Senor
Masso, accompanied by two members
of his staff, arrived this morning at
Manzanillo. Soon after arrival he
went TO the palace, formerly occupied
By Colonel Parron, the late Spanish
commander. to visit Colonel Ray, in
command of the United States troops.
Colonel Ray received him courteously
expressed pleasure at the opportunity
of an interview and said he hoped
Senior Masso would arrange for dis
banding the Cubans under General
Rios in the neighborhod Of ManZanillo
SO work in the fields could begin. He
also earnestly advised the president
of the Cuban provisional government
to disband the Cuban troops at all
points o in possession Of the United
States forces, in order hat the men
might give the assistance so needed to
place the country in a position TO re-
cover from the evils Of the three years
war.
Senior Masso readily agreed to car
ry out Colonel Rays request n said
that General Rios should receive orders
Immediately to disband his men, He
said he much regretted the outrages
committed On the estates at Rigney
and elsewhere, but he thought it pos
sible that the deeds complained Of
were not done by Cubans, but by Span
iards. Thoroughly in accord with Col
nnoJ Rows nrnnncal RI CQt tho Cuhan
soldiers at work throughout the prov
ince of Santiago, he promised to do
all in his power to bring about this
| result, believing, he said, that. the
| sooner the country was prosperous and
happy the sooner Cuba libre would be
an accomplished fact and believing also
that the best policy for the Cubans
now was to cooperate heartily with the
Americans in their plans for building
up the country.
The interview lasted over an hour,
and apparently was satisfactory to
both. Senior Masso leaves tomorrow
on his return, going by the insurgent
| steamer F~ernandina.
A question has cropped up that is
causing General Wood, who in the alb
sence of General Lawton, is in cOm-
mand Of the military department Of
Santiago, not a little perplexity. A
majority of the officers of the immune
regiments from the southern states
object to eating at the same restau-
rants with the colored officers, most of
whom are from the northern states.
Quintin Bandera, the famous negro
general of the Cuban army, will soon
be appointed assistant chief of police
of Santiago.
Colonel Hoods second immune reg
iment, (white) now at Also Sengo, is
under order to be ready at eight hours
notice to proceed to Holguin, this prov
ince, which the Spaniards are about to
evacuate. The peculiar condition OF
the surrounding country calls for the
presence of United States troops as
the Spanish soldiers leave.
