TROOPS GO WITHIN TEN DAYS.
EXACT DATE OF THEIR ARRIVAL
IN CUBA NOT YET DETERMINED.

Maj. Gen. Greene Now in Havana
Looking to the GarrisOning of the
Province and Date of Movement
Depends on His and Gen. Hum
phrey's and Col. Hecker's Reports.
Gen. snyder to Command First
brigade Which Lands at Cienfue-
gOs.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE movement of
the United States troops to Havana prov
ince viii begin within ten days. The ex-
act date of their arrival will be determined
by the reports of Maj. Gen Greene. who
commands a division of the Seventh Corps,
and is now in Havana, on business con-
nected with garrisoning that province and
of Gen. Charles F. Humphrey and Col.
HeckeT of the quartermaster's department
These officers have authority to complete
arrangements for the reception of the
troops, the quartermaster's officers being
engaged in the supervision of the construc-
ton of wharves and depots TO be used by
the army.
The occupation of Cienfuegos is also re-
ceiving attention. Gen. Snyder will COM
mand the first brigade which lands in
that province. He viii be followed soon
afterward by Maj. Gen. Wilson and the
First Corps.
Nothing has been heard of the detach-
ments of the Eighth Cavalry, which sailed
for Nuevitas and Puerto Principe, but as
there is no telegraph communication with
that part of the island, no surprise is man
ifested at the war department.
The conduct of the volunteer regiments
in Santiago province may result in trans
fer of some of these troops to corps where
a more rigid discipline can be enforced
and where regiments under command of
general officers can be used to quell any
disturbances of the immune regiments.

sPANIARDS' REPLY STUDIED.
Its Translation Placed Before Amer

Its Translation Placed Before Amer
leans Yesterday.
Paris Nov. 7.-The clerical force of the
American peace commission was busy
nearly all last night in translating the
Spanish memorandum presented at yes
'erdays joint session. While the trans
ialors and typewriters were rendering the
counsel for the American commission
studied it sheet by sheet. making notes of
records to be examined and of law points
bearing on the matter in hand. As a re-
suit when the Americans gathered for
tnelr daily session to-day the Spanish pre-
sentiment lay before them in English,
ready for consideration and accompanied
by data bearing upon it.
No unofficial person knows the contents
of the document presented by the Spanish
commissioners yesterday. but it is safe to
assume that, added to her insistence on
'he reservation of her Philippine SOW
erelgnty and her proposition to arbitrate
the construction of the third article of the
protocol, Spain has made two other i'm
portant Statements:
Flrst, that, on the high ground of finan-
c!al probity, she cannot allow any discus
saon here of the validity of her action in
p'edglng the resources of the Philippines
Ior the payment of the Philippine debt.
second, that in connection with the
american proposal to reimburse Spain for
ner pacific expenditures in the Philippines
Sne cannot admit of an inquiry as to how
sle mas spent the proceeds Of the loan
BASED on Philippine pledges.
II spain has assumed this attitude and
1t IS believed she has done so, she prac-
ucaily compels the American commission
e!s to consider at least the entire Philip
Glne debt and its assumption by the
Cnited States or the Philippine Islands as
condition to Spain's amicable surrender
vi her sovereignty over these islands.
IL is difficult TO understand how the
americans can reply to this in any other
manner than by strictly outlining their po-
Suou and giving the Spaniards a time
Hinit in which to accept the propositions
oi the United States. But the American
commissioners may patiently continue
lhe'r endeavors to arrive at an amicable
understanding on the subject.

NEGROES SENT FARTHER OUT.
Their Camp Now Located Five Miles
From SAN Luis.

Santiago. Nov. 17.-Gen. Leonard Wood
Santiago, has instructed Gen. Ewars who
is in command of the brigade of negro reg
iments at San Luis, where the drunken
affray occurred on Monday night, to move
the camp five miles from the town. It is
probable that one of the regiments win be
sent to an island near the entrance of
Santiago harbor, where there are no in
habtants.
Some of the local papers continue to
abuse the Americans, catering to the low
er elements, and striving 10 create a feel
ing hostile to America The better class
of Cubans, of course, regret the affray,
but they do not exaggerate the outrage
after the fashion of the sensational press
The United States transport Victor, Capt
Brickley. arrived here to-day en- route for
Ponce with United States troops on board.
Capt. Brickley reports that while passing
near San Salvador Island (whatling's Is
land) he saw large ship bottom upward
which he almost ran into. Owing to the
darkness he could not discover whether
she was a sailing vessel or q steamer.
Gen Wood has temporarily suspended
foreclosure proceedings, owing to the fact
that the money sharks have been trying
to force the collection of slall amounts
loaned during the war. He believes that
the mortgages should have reasonable
chance 10 redeem.
Having satisfied himself of the incompe-
tency of the staff of meat and slaughter

old regime, Gen. Wood has dismissed the
whole force and appointed new inspectors
AT Guantanamo, Gen. Perez, the Mayor
now seems to be making an earnest effort
to disband his former Cuban troops Yes
terday one man refused TO lay down his
arms and drew his weapon on a Cuban
officer, who promptly killed him In self
defense. The incident has had good moral
effect, and the others of Gen. Perez's for
mer command are now voluntarily relin-
gushing their arms preparatory to dis
bandment.

ANGLo-AMERIcAN COMMISSION.
Fisheries and Reciprocity Two Inn
pOrtnnt Questions Considered.

Fisheries and Reciprocity Two In-
pOrtnnt Questions Considered.
Washington, Nov 1.-THE Anglo-Ameri-
can commission, now in session here to
adjust differences between the United
states and Canada. to-day held a lengthy
session upon two subjects which are re-
garded as OF most importance, namely, the
North Atlantic fisheries and reciprocity.
The fisheries questions was practically
taken up for the first time, and II was
quite definitely understood that the position
OF the Canadian government was made
clear as favorable TO granting enlarged
rights TO American fishermen In Canadian
waters of the North Atlantic, II In return
Canadian fish are admitted free OF duty TO
American markets. 1t is expected that this
viii open up a wide range of discussion,
an an immediate adjournment Is not look
ed for.
Concerning reciprocity, II has now de-
vo,oped that. whie some progress Is be-
ing made In considering certain articles
which win be the basis Of reciprocity, yet
the American commissioners are likely to
insist, as a preliminary to any reciprocity,
that Canada shall wipe out that feature
of her tariff law which gives Great Britain
a preference Of 25 per cent. on all tariff
duties.
II this important concession is made by
Canada and conceded by Lord Herschell
who Is looking after the interests of Great
Britain then 1t Is said that a reciprocity
list will probably be agreed upon. with
out the abolition of preferential rates to
Great Britain, the opinion is very posi-
lively expressed that a reciprocity agree
ment cannot be reached.

would afford him protection from mob vlo-
lence in returning TO his home at McCor-

admission that The Governor cannot af-

DOCKING FACILITIES NEEDED.
Chief EndicOtt Recommends Docks
in Southern Winters.

Chief EndicOtt Recommends Docks
in Southern WATERS.
Washington, Nov. 17.--In his annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Navy Chief
Endicott of the bureau of yards and
docks makes a strong point of the neces-
sity for ample docking facilities, not only
for small vessels, but for the battleships,
upon waters near Key West. He said the
South was during the war, and may be
in the future an important base of naval
operations, able strategists having pro-
nounced Key West and Dry Tortugas the
key to the Gulf of Mexico. There, it is
held that careful study should be given
to the subject to determine some point
at which the very best docking facilities
shall be provided. Had the war with
Spain continued many months more, the
absence of docking facilities in these wa
ters would have been most seriously felt
and might~have affected its fortunes. The
estimates submitted for the next year pro-
vide for only one new dock which is to be
of the largest type, constructed of granite
and concrete, and located at the Norfolk
navy yard.
The estimates for the various navy
yards for the next fiscal year lncludes
Norfolk, Va, 100000 (s1,5OO,OOO being for
a new dock); Port Royal, S. c., $145, GOO:
