When Gen. Lee was IN Washington
the earliest date he recommended for
sending troops to Cuba We November
Is. and he did this with several rcSer-
vations. suggesting that only a small
number be sent, and to particular
places where there was little danger
of disease and FEVER. With a view to
making arrangements for the troops,
a board of officers was sent to Cuba
to select camp sites and ascertain
what was needd for the troops. The
principal officers of this board, Colonies
Hecker and Lee. have been ordered to
Washington, and their reports will be
carefully considered before any troops
are sent to Cuba.
Clash with Spanish Troops to be Avoided.
The war department, moreover, does
not wish to have any conflict with
Spanish troops as to occupation OF
towns. and therefore desires to send
the United States troops into Cuba
only a short time before the Spanish
troops evacuate. Owing to climatic
conditions the United States has not
been pressing for immediate vacua
ton, requesting only that reasonable
progress should be made by the Span
ish authorities.

The ballot to be used at the ap-
preaching election has undergone a
change from hat used two years ago.
Instead of the big blanket-ballot, the
voters will receive their ballots in sets,
composed of a separate and distinct
ballot for each ticket in the field. We
give below the section of the election
law pertaining to the ballot and it's
preparation by the judges of election
aud the elector:
ION any day of election of public officers
in any election each qualified elector shall
be entitled to receive from the judges Of
election one ballot of each political party
voted for at said election. 1t shall be the
duty of such judges of election to deliver
such ballots to the elector. Before deliv-
erinE any ballots to the elector the two
judges of election having charge of the
ballots shall write their names or initials
on the back of the ballots. with ink or in
Gelible pencil, and no other writing shall
be on the back of the ballot. except the
number of the ballot voted. On receipt of
his ballots the elector shall forthwith and
without leaving the polling place retire
alone to one of the places, booths or COM
partments provided, to prepare his ballot.
He shall prepare his ballot by selecting
the ballot he desires to vote. He shall
erase or strike out the name of any candi-
date he does not wish to vote for and
write the name of his choice underneath.
After preparing his ballot the elector shall
fold the same so that the face of the bal
lot shall be concealed and so that the
initials of the judges may be seen. He
shall then hand the ballot he desires to
vote to the Judge of election selected to
take the ballots. who shall number the
ballot and deposit it in the ballot box. The
ballots he rejects shall be counted by the
other receiving judge, who, after satisfy
ing himself that all is given to the voter
have been returned, shall place them in a
separate box to be provided for that pur-
pose"
