by the Americans since their arrival
here is large. They have examined old
residents of the Philippine Islands and
their information and testimony from
this and other sources is valuable.
A distinguished Roman Catholic
churchman from New Orleans is now
in this city in connection, it is said,
with the interests of the Roman Cath
Ollie church in Cuba.
The holders of Spanish securities have
not been inactive and it is not I'M
likely that the American commission
has been called upon to consider a
written presentment Of figures, facts
and pleadings in behalf OF those in
terests.
Were it not that the spirit and atti-
tude Of the American commission are
SO dignified, it might be said that they
are now holding the fort AMI invite at
lacks. Their personality and pro-
cedure, however, here is such as to
make it fair TO say that, while not
counting attack, they fear none.
Washington, October 19-Gen. Wade,
President Of the American evacuation
commission, telegraphed the war de-
partment last night that 6,000 Spanish
soldiers had been embarked already for
Spain and that arrangements had been
completed, of which the American COM
missioners h2d been duly notified by
the Spanish commissioners, for the en-
barkation of 10000 more troops in the
near future On the whole this rate of
progress, in view of the limited re-
sources of Spain, is believed to be rea-
sonable.
So long as this disposition is exhib-
tied TO carry out in good faith the evac-
uation of the island. our government
is not likely to make complaint, and
the statement that the American COM
mssioners at Havana did yesterday de-
liver themselves of a formal ultimatum
on the subject. is said to be erroneous.
This conclusion. however. does not ap-
ply to the transfer Of sovereignty, and
While permitting the presence of Span
ish troops in Cuba on and after Deem
Der /, it is the present purpose of the
war department to take complete pos
session of the entire civil establish
ment of the island on the date men
toned Just as General Woods did in
Santiago.
This may happen, even while the
Spanish commissioners at Paris are
still desperately striving to secure con-
sideration by the joint commission Of
questions affecting the Cuban debt.
Touching the bitter complaints that
are made in the French papers against
what they denominate the uncom-
promising and unyielding attitude OF
the American commissioners and their
refusal to consider propositions to ar
bitrate radical differences between the
two bodies. it is said here that pre-
sumably the Spanish commissioners
went to Paris under instructions quite
as comprehensive as those supplied to
the American commissioners. Any
suggestion Of arbitration would be out
of place in correction with the peace
commission and should it come TO an
irreconciliable difference between the
two commissions, there can be but one
arbitrament-that Of the sword-for
which our government is fully pre-
pared, but which it does not expect to
be obliged to enter upon.

THE COFFEE WAR. "

The American public has watched
the coffee war with interest, thinking
the principals were losing vast sums OF
money and The consumer was reoeiv-
Ing the benefit of the low prices on cof-
fee caused by the merry war. Investi-
CATION reveals the fact that the sharp
witted, money making sharks are
dumping upon the good-natured, gull
lible (and supposedly ignorant) Amer
lean public vile refuse which nets them
from 100 to 200 per cent. profit, making
Them millions every year, in place OF q

ways supposed. The game has been ~
cleverly handled that the newspapers

luctuation of the cheap coffee market
