WASHINGTON, D. c.. August 1B-
The Post will say tomorrow: "The
announcement Of the personnel Of The
military commissions for Cuba and
Porto Rico may now be expected at any
time. The President has practically de-
termined upon the military and naval
oficera who will compose the commiD-
sion. It Is probable that the names will
be as follows:
Cuban Commission Major General }.
T. Wade, Major General II. c. Butler
and Admiral W. 7. Sampson.
Porto Rico Commisslon-Mator Cen
eral John r. Brooke, Major General
Theo Schwan and Admiral Winfield 8.
schleV.
It will be noticed Ghat the name Of
General Fitzhugh Lee does not appear
In the list Of the Cuban commissioners.
The omission Is not unlntentional. Gen.
Lee was originally slated for a place
on the commission, but will not serve,
owing to his desire to remain at the
head of his army corps. It is expected
that this corps, the seventh, will event.
ually be sent to Cuba, and in that
event, General Lee will go to the Is
land at It's head, preferring the position
to q commiBsionship."

ma select meeting was held tonight
at the palace between the commanding
officers Of the American army and the
Cuban leaders. The strictest secrecy
was maintained but It can be said with
good authority that General Garcia was
present.
The meeting lasted an hour and half.
The information obtained is to the ee-
feet that the Cuban situation was thor
oughly reviewed and that It was reSolv-
ed to dlsband the Cuban army and that
the United states should pay the men
of. This involves the expenditure OF
Sl5,000,O0O, but It is most important TO
the prosperity Of the island, whose
wealth is entirely agricultural nobody,
planter or farmer, daring TO cultivate
his lands while lnsurgent bands are In
the field raiding and burning.

COmmund-says the Secretary or War
Had Nothing 10 do With the CampatEn.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. August 15.-
Secretary Alger to-day received letter
from General shatter. which is in part
as follows:
Headquarters Fifth Army Corps,
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 4, 1888.
Hon. r. A. Alger, Secretary of War,
Washington. d. c. --- -s -----
Ny Dear General Alger-Your kind
letter OF july % was handed me yester-
dag by Major snlfEen. thank you and
the President for the confidence you
express in my ability to handle the
matters entrusted to me here.
The number taken Ill in my COM
mand is very great. as you will see,
though not verV much greater than
those returned to duty; and the death
rate Is not at present alarming, al
though Il IS steadily on the increase and
the doctors tell me that the fever. ma
larial and otherwise Is constantly pre-
sentlng more viruient features. Every
effort possible Is made to guard ships
bringing supplies TO the army, but II Is
almost impossible to enforce 4 when
ships must be unloaded and men nee
esSarlly must come together In dis
charging and receiving cargo. The
great trouble Is that the people them
selves seem to have no fear OF infection.
and unless you have guard over every
Individual man It Is almost impossible
10 keep them from mingllng.
The silver question has settled Itself
and American silver is received the
same MS American paper.
The missing, believe have nearly all
been accounted for. Not single man
was captured and the only men now
missing are those that were killed In
thick brush and whose bodies have
never been found The country has
been secured faithfully for bodies. This
was done a short time utter the battle.
The camps now occupied are measur-
ably good, they certainly are on the
best sround that Is IN this vicinity, and
eIlght changes Of location can be
made, The difficulty in separating
camps OF an artnS ot this size Is on ac@
count Of the great difficulty OF supply
ing them with necessary food, especial
ly during the wet season. when half n
dozen wagons over n road cuts It into
tuts two feet deep In places.
PACK trains are very good and we
have 10 use them and DO use them all
the time; In fact without them We could
not get along; but the sickness among
the teamEters and packers has been
very great, nearly everyone Of them,
suppose 95 per cent. have been sick, and
me the soldiers, they do not recover
thelF strength.
Supplies are abundant here OF all ar
ticles Of food and clothing. cannot
iuiig express my gratitude to you for
all the opportunities that you have civ
ca me and for the confidence that you
iieepose In mo, ns shown more strongly
Than In any other way be- leaving me
n9nhampered in my operations against
santiago. I am very sorry to see that
some newspapers are attempting TO
IhToW blame on your trying TO
run the campaign from WASH
laston. and suppose some peo-
pe believe II. II Is one OF the

We tan help. although whenever have
had any opportunity / have tried to
