CUT OFF FROM THE EAST
A Viaosnf Sfcrm Raging East of the
 Rockies.

Denver. Oct. 17.-Since early this morning Denver has been almost en- tirely cut of from communication by wire with the east, owing to the preva- fence of an unusually severe storm of sleet and rain throughout Kansas and Nebraska. In Kansas the storm ex- tends as far east as Manhattan. It is reported to be very severe at Omaha, but it is not known here how much further east it extends.
 The storm came unexpectedly at midnight. Warmer weather vas pre- dicted in these places where rain and sleet have since been falling. Of the twenty-five Western Union wires usually in operation between Denver and Omaha and Kansas City, only two could be worked today. Chicago could be reached only via Ogden, Helena and St. Paul. The Postal wires are also down. The weather at Denver is clsar but cool, and it is not expected that the storm will extend so far west.

THE PROGRESS OF PEACE.
An Understanding Regarding the Gu
 ban Debt.

Paris, Oct. 1.-The peace commis- sioners will meet again on Wednesday next. During tcday's session the com missioners were occupied with the con- sideration Of the Spanish presentation Of Tuesday last and the American an swer submitted on Friday relating to Cuba and the debt Of the island. The Spniards will next doubtless reply in writing, the conclusion of the subject soon following. The interchanges re- garding Cuba are now SC advanced that the Spaniards will rot fail to uE derstand the United States deter,1in a. tion not to assume any part of the so- called Cuban debt of $400,000.0G0. It should nc. be, however, understood that the Americans during the course of treaty negotiations have been un- mindful of certain local burdens, like municipal obligations Of Cuban cities, railroad and kindred properties, local and permanent :, which may be provided fer.

tragic side, the situation, as described in the letters received from Havana. would be decidedly humorous. The Spanish censorship of press telegrams is still maintained, and the censor ed its the Havana newspapers so that they are not allowed to criticise the policy of the captain general CT of the autonomist cabinet
 Some difference of opinion exists re- garding Captain-General Blanco. At times he has shown disposition to fa- cilitate early occupancy of Havana by the American troops. At other times he has apparently sought to put Ob- stacles in the way. The captain-gen- eral is reported to be anxious to get back to Spain and take part in the po- litical affairs. He would leave every thing to the Spanish military commis- sion and tcl the autonomist cabinet. This, however, Sagasta will not per init, and 1t is possible that Captain General Blanco will have to remain until the last Spanish soldier departs. These are not matters that concern the American military commission. Wheth- CT Blanco stays or gees, the intention is that the American troops will be in possession by the end of this month. Military government is giving such good results at Santiago that it is felt justifable to place Havana under the same rule.

HALF OF THE ISLAND
May Be Taken in Before inc
 Time Fixed.
An Unsatisfactory Condition of Af- fairs May preCipiiafe inc OC- Cupa!iOn Of Cuba.

Washington, Oct. 17.-lmpoi tlnt rec- ommenGaticns are expected at an carly date from General Wade regarding tho military occupation of central and western Cuba by the American troops. The situation, as candidly explained by one of the officials, is growing worse in Havana and the surrounding coun- try. The limit of patience has been passed, and it will depend On General Wade to say how many troops are wanted and where they shall be locat- ed The commission which leaves this week to select sites for camps will not have much time in which to per form its duties. but it is believed that it's members vii be able to make a prompt report, so that the regiments which are, intended to go first can leave Florida within the next two weeks.
 The unsatisfactory condition Of af- fairs in Havana and elsewhere is said to be due to variety of causes. but 1t all comes back to the Spanish disposi- tion to procrastinate and also to the evident determination of the military and civil officials to make all they can or the little time that remains them for plunder. Two weeks ago. when the irritation was very strong on the part of the American military commis- sion, conciliatory attitude was taken by the Spaniards in accordance with instructions from Madrid. An,basss- dor Cambon, it is stated, gave the di- rect assurance to the state dara,tment that there would be nc more obstruct- i've tactics This promise applied b7th to the admission of the food sunnliee and to the arrangements for getting the Spanlsh troops out cf the island. It was also intimated that none of thA questions of dispute, regarding what constitutes Spanish government prop- erty and the broader questions of the Cuban debt and the future Of Spanish suDJects in Cuba should be raised in connection with the military commis- slons in Havana. There was good req son for this, because the American mil itary commission would not have en- tered upon those subjects, except undsr instructions from Washington. The Spanish premises, however, proved un- trustworthy and the cid policy or de- lay was observed This has baen car ried 10 the point where it is no longer possible to consider Spain's wishes and Spanish suseeptipilities Tn preparing for American control. The only mat ter now is the EleRns Of taking control at the earliest possible date, and as heretofore stated, General Wade's rec concentrations on thesa points are awaited

vana, which show the nesd of early &C., tion. Representatives Of the American military commission who have been sent out into the country to invesii- gate almost invariably bring back sp- palling stories of the distress existing and of the need fer immediate relief. They also commend the admirable self restraint which the insurgents are showing. That is the language of one Of the investigators. The landing of the food supplies from the Comal at MatanZ2s will enable the relief which is sc badly needed to be afforded. Some of the food has already been taken to Havana by railroad. and distributed among the poor people at Lcs F9sos. Los Fosos is in the heart of Havana. During the concentration policy it was 8 settlement cf reconcentrados, who were finally relieved through the ef- forts of Consul General Lee and some Of the citizens Of Havana.
 The accounts received from Havana have something to say Of ths autonC- mist CT colonial cabinet This cabinet is still assuming to be the government Of Cuba, and the farce of pretending that autonomy cnce existed is to be kept up to the end. However, it makes the pretense Of exercising the fune- tions of civil government ard Of having something to say about the evacuation of the island. It's members, or soma Of them, think that they are to be treated wih as well as the Spanish military commission. Its greatest work has be5n the drawing up of a statement re- citing the history of protocols for sev- eral hundred years past. This was the labor cf MT. Montoro, the secretary Of the treasury, who is a very learnsd lawyer. After this statement had been drawn up the autonomist caDlnet thought that there would be nc mere pressure from the American military commission for immediate evacuation or for reform in th5, management Of public affairs.

LEE WILL LEAD.
Unless He Wants to Relinquish Com
 mand of the First Expedition.

Washington, Oct. 17.-It is said at the war department that nothing has occurred to change the plans already arranged fer the movement of the troops to Cuba. It was not intended that the occupation Of the island should be begun immediately except at such towns as Manzanillo and per- haps Holguin, where immune r5gi- ments may be used to advantage. h. vestigation into the situation has been of great value to the department, dis closing, as it has, the views of a thor oughly practical man based on keen observation. But Col. Heckers pri- mary object was to locate camp sites for the occupation Of troops and he is proceeding in exact acccrd with his instructions. The ooaditicns that he found, it is said, thoroughly warrant belief that the war department will be obliged to face th7 most difficult problems that have yet arisen in con- nection with the handling of troops in order to insure the protection of the health of the soldiers. It has been evident that the men must be iso- lated for some time in their camps to avoid danger of infection and the de- par.ment is not quite clear that any useful purpose will be served by plac- ing the soldiers where their services c;--rsst7be availahis- A proposition is now under consideration looking to the employment Of Cubans as local gen. darmes, it being urged that they would be more serviceable in maintaining or der Ill the towns ttan American sol diers unacquainted with the Spanish language and Cuban customs.
