MANzANILLo, Oct. sO.-The visit Of
General Leonard Wood. governor Of the
military department Of Santiago. has
been Instrumental In bringing sll the
clements among the cubans to the
front. No fewer than 1000 Insurgents
of whom 500 are oficers, want ohiees
end their clamor amounts almost to a
demand.
There are two leading factions, one
headed by General Jesus Rabl. and the
other bv General Rios. At present most
OF the ofices are held by representa-
dives of the Rabl faction, including the
msyoraIty and the custom house Ipspec-
torships. General Wood. in order to
paclfy the Rios faction. has given them
six positions on the rural police force
and turned over to one Of their people
the light house at Cape Cruz, together
With several other minor appointments.
But neither party Is satisfied, each
thinking that It ought to have all the
ofices.
The majority Of the insurgents here
have no money and so about living
from hand to mouth and wondering
what will happen next Armed men
are not allowed ratlons. AS the Gu
bans will not dlsband and will not
work, nothing remains for them but to
strut about the city with machetes and
reyolvers. Some OF them are nearly ma
ked; others appear in long legged pat
emit leather boots, with silver spurs,car-
rVing superbly wrought Toledo ma
chetes. A few wear immaculate white
suits and panama hats
These are for the most part the New
York contingent, each man now Vertt-
able "Bombastes Furloso."
General Wood and Colonel Petit re-
gard the outlook as rather discourage
Ing. Still they hope that some means
may soon be found TO break up the Gu
ban army. The members OF the rank
and file are anxious to so to work, but
the leaders refuse to allow them TO do
so and the men do not dare desert as
they would certainly be shot II captur-i
ed.
II was necessary to send detach-
ment OF the Fourth immune regiment
under a sergeant to the Rigney planta-
tIon in order to compel the armed Cu-
bans to allow men to work there. The
undertaking, however. proved success
full, and two hundred men are now reg
uIaFly employed.
The latest advices from Santa Cruz
del Sur, the meeting place of the Cuban
assembly, do not report the arrival
there of General Maxine Gomez, but
there are persistent rumors that the
friends OF Gomez who are delegates TO
the assembly will endeaVor to embar-
rass General Calixto Garcia and his
supporters.
After a final conference with Colonel
Petit regarding the management OF
the district. General Wood left for San
tIago at noon to-day on board the Hist.
On wednesday next he will proceed to
Guantanamo, from which point, after
first returning to Santiago again. he
will leave for the north coast OF the
province, to be gone probably week or
ten days.
Two companies OF Colonel Pettit's Inn
munes are to be sent Immediately to

WASHINGTON, Oct. so.-No definite
determination has been reached as to
the date when the troops now at savan-
nah win be sent TO Cuba. A prominent
administration official said tonight that
the departure OF General Lees corps
would be dependent to a certain extent,
upon the movements OF the Spanish
forces in evacuatlnG the island, The
American troops. he said, might sail
this week and they might not sail for a
month.
II is the Intention OF the ndmlnlstra-
tion, however, TO land General Lees
corps In Cuba before the FIRST of Janu-
arg. That date has been axed deaplte-
iy as the time for the final evacuation
or the island by the Spaniards. An ef-
fort was made by the Spanish aHthorit-
les 10 obtain an extension OF the time OF
evacuation until the FIRST OF February
but the proposition was declined by the
American commission.
Arrangements for the landing and
camping OF the American forces prnc-
tlcally have been completed in Cuba, hl-
though some OF the details have not
been worked out yet. The recall at this

received a long cipher message from the
admiralty and Immediately her ma
jesty's ship Amphlon, the fastest cruis-

Coqulmbo, to meet her sister ship, the

PARIS, oct. sO.-senor Montero Rios,
president Of the spanish peace commits
sion, Is III. This causes some doubt this
evening as TO whether there will be a
Joint session Of the commission to-mor-
row. II he is unable to attend It IS un-
likely that the spaniards would consent
to enter the conference to take up the
Philippine question for initial ccnsidera-
ton.
There IS strong impression which has
been growing here recently that the
Spanish upon receiving definite assur-
ances Of the American determination to
take the entire Philippine group would
cult the conference and all negotiations
nre modiaea by the attitude OF the
Spanish newspapers arriving here to-
day.
These are found to have wheeled into
line with the Epoca Of October 9th,
which demanded that the Spanish COM
mIssloners should sign a treaty in Paris
no mntter how onerous the conditions
imposed by the Americans.
Nevertheless despite this attitude OF
the Madrid press, and despite the denial
given on Friday last to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press by a Span
Ish commissioner, who denied that the
spaniards had any intention Of with
drawing, the Americans here viii not be
surprised II one or more Of the Spanish
commmissioners resign and practically
close the negotiations.
This feeling Is based upon the fact that
Senior Rios early last week would have
resigned IL his so doing would not have
Imperilled the Sagasta ministry and the
reasoning Is that IL while pressing the
Cuban debt, which Is not mentioned In
the protocol and which the Spanish
commissioners insist should not be left
to Spain alone, Senor Rios were inclined
TO resign he might In the open field OF
contention as to the Philippines feel
that resignation would help Senior Sa-
gasta on the ground that the demand OF
the United States for the entire Philip
pine group would be extortionate. 1t is
believed here tonight, on the eve OF
taking up the main question, that me
Spanish commissiohers are not likely to
acQulesce here in any treaty that the
Americans would sign.
IN IQe EAlEpplIle ulSGu19tulf GNS WGot
lsome questions are likely to be raised
early by the Spanish. The first is on the
protocol phrase control, disposition and
government Of the archipelago. the
spaniards doubtless holding that the
word 'dfsposltion" does not involve pos
session, though they know that posses
sion" was originally written in the pro-
tocol and changed to "dispositinn" on
NJ. Cambon's inslstence In behalf of
Spanish senslbilitles.
Collateral to this is second conten-
tion, possibly to be merged with the
first, that when the protocol was signed
there was an exterior merit agreement
between NJ Cambon and Judge Day that
neither the protocol nor It's terms should
in the treaty negotiations involve Span
ish sovereignty in the Philippine archi-
pelago.
on this point Judge Day through the
Associated Press has already polntedly
denied the existence OF an actual, con-
structive or implied understanding out
side of the protocol, either verbally or
In correspondence, and this denial is
supported by the French yellow book.
