LARGE ARMY FOR CUBA.

Great progress has been made in the
preparations for moving the army of oc-
| cupation that will be sent to Havana early
this autumn, and unless contingencies
| arise that are not anticipated, the troops
| will begin their departure from Southern
ports soon after October 18th. There is
| but little time in which to select the regi-
ments that will be assigned to this duty.
According to present plans an army Of
between $4,000 and $4,000 men will be
sent to Cuba, and as far as practicable,
the regiments chosen will be composed of
regular troops and those volunteers which
are to be retained in the service.
The precise date decided on by the War
Department will not be announced until
regiments have been notified of their de-
tail, and as there are probably not more
than $4,000 regulars now in the service, it
will be necessary, if larger number of
troops is sent to the island, that number
of volunteer regiments be assigned with
them Gen. Miles and Surgeon General
Sternberg advocate postponing the dis
patch of troops to Havana and other
Cuban ports where it will be necessary to
have garrisons until later in the autumn
but Secretary Alger believes the work of
the commission will have so advanced by
October 18th that it will be expedient and
desirable to send troops there then.

trip to Omaha until the second week in

CUBA'S EVACUATION SLOW

An official meeting of the Spanish COM
mission of evacuation has been held in
Havana to consider the form of execution
by the Spanish troops, and with the OBJ
iect of acquainting the American commits
sion with the exact number and positions
of the Spanish soldiers, and the best
method of embarking them.
Sunday afternoon there was sent on
board the Resolute a sealed document sup
posed to contain a statement Of the results
of the conference. 1t is understood that
it is proposed to start the evacuation from
east tc west, embarking the troops at the
ports of Gibara, Neuyitas, Cienfuegos and
Havana.
The official statement of the number of
Spanish soldiers In the island is said to
place the aggregate at a hundred thou
sand, and it is understood that it is pro-
posed that the men shall carry with them
their arms, ammunitions of war, material
and equipments.
It IS estimated that the end of February
will have come before the evacuation of
the island is completed, as the soldiers
must embark in Spanish vessels. 1t is sug-
gested that this will be an advantage to
both countries, the United States having
an opportunity to acclimatize its men dur
ing the winter months, as it is proposed
that the American government shall land
troops to occupy each post simultaneously
with its evacuation, not leaving any post
unguarded at any time.
A secret meeting of the officers of the
Spanish warships now in Havana harbor
has been held at the admiral's palace. The
object of the meeting is supposed to have
been the consideration of the question of
returning to Spain-which vessels and
what portion of the armament should be
taken and which left.
