WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept 2E-A
comprehensive programme for moving
troops to Cuba has been outlined by the
war department and its initial features
have been decided upon. This result is
due to directions given by the President
on September 10, to the effect that de-
tails OF troops be made for Cuba. Act
ing on this, Major General Miles outlln-
ed a plan for sending two divisions to
Cuba, the first under command Of Ma
for General Wade to leave in october.
and the second division under Major
General Fitzhugh Lee. to leave in No
vember.
Each division will embrace about 6.OOO
men. so that the plan is TO have some
1900 troops IN Cuba or on the way
there within the next sixty days, IT is
not contemplated, however that any
large number Of this force shall be as
scmbled at any one point In this coun-
try or In Cuba, the desire being to keep

SANTIAGO De CUBA, Sept. q. =
The system of civil government estab-

Siccleary. formerly attorney general
for Texas, and Spanish scholar, has
been appointed mayor and the Spanish
officers are giving place to CubanS
Gen. Wood says he does NOT know the
capabilities OF the men taking ofice.
They are chosen by n committee OF fifty
prominent Cubans, whom he believes 10
be honest and conscientious.
This committee recommends men
whom its members think would be eiii-
Client in the various offices to be filled.
The choice OF men by the committee
must be unanimous and must be made
over the signature Of the entire hfty
members. Cen Wood finds that the
plan works admirably. Lieutenant
Blount has been appointed to codify the
Cuban laws.
gnr planters in Cuba, who has arrived
here from ATanZanlllo, reports the con-
ditions there worse than ever. The In
surEents, he asserts. refuse TO grant
permission for the carrying on Of work
on the plantations. and the Spanish off,
cIRls decline to furnish protection to
those desiring TO work. Senor Rlgney
declares that since the cessation OK
hostllities the insurgents have confis-
Gated his provisions and DESTROYED a
number OF valuable pictures, made his
carpets into saddie-cloths. tore and
trampled curtains, and broke glasses
worth 500 each. They are encamped
in numbers at tho sea town OF Cafnpe-
ohue,a, where they compel small yes
sells which faH into their hands to hoist
the Cuban flag.
The cubans earnestly request Gen.
Wood to send to Manzanillo food
and clothing. They declare there Is
much suffering there. but private ad-
vices received by Gen. Wood deny nb-
Folutely the stories OF destitution. and
declare that work is obtRinRbe. but
that the Cubans Will not work and he
has therefore refused to send the sup
