THE EVACUATION PROBLEM.
Spanish Troops Cannot Possibly Leave
Cubn by tho Date Set.

Spanish Troops Cannot Possibly Leave
Cuba by tho Date Set.
Washington. Oct. 21.-It is now GER
tain that the complete evacuation of
Cuba will be delayed beyond the Pc
rlod originally fixed by the adminIs-
tration. This will be entirely without
reference toanything that has occurred
In Paris before the peace commission.
The War Department has about salts
fled itself that the task imposed upon
the Spanish authorities-the removal
and transportation to a great distance
by sea OF about 10000 soldiers, sick
and well, with their accoutrements,
was beyond the ability of the Span
iards. The magnitude of the task Is
shown by the fact that the great trans
atlantic steamship lines crossing the
Atlantic from New York all combined,
in prosperous seasons. transport only
about $4,000 persons in one year-less
than half the number that the Span
lsli icials with their poor facilities
We're expected to transport In about
ten weeks.
Delay in the evacuation of Cuba will
cause Il delay in the REIMBURSEMENT of
sovereignty by the Spaniards over the
entire island. which was set for De-
cember 1st. 1t is hardly deemed pru-
dent to undertake to assume charge OF
municipal Affairs In Havana so long us
the city contains a strong garrison OF
Spanish troops. and 1t is felt that law
and order can be better maintained In
such centers by allowing them to re-
main under Spanish jurisdiction until
they shall be evacuated by the troops
and reoccupled by United States troops.
1t is not to be understood by this
that the American military commits
sion is In any sense abating the pres
sure 1t has brought to bear upon the
Spanish military commissioners to Sc
cure the evacuation of the island and
the REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish sover-
eighty. On the contrary. they have re-
doubled their efforts to secure these
objects, but they are not disposed to
insist upon the performance of impos-
sible tasks.

The olive-growers of California will
probably gather next winter the larg-
eat crop ever grown in the Union. For
tho nrst time the production Of this
fruit will be in excess OF the demands
for consumption In California alone
An enormous planting of olive groves
has been made in California in the
last few years. 1t has been reckoned
that 100000 olive trees were set out
in this state last spring alone.
Rough estimates put the area oil
bearing olive groves in Califor-
mia at about 5000 acres. while
the total orchard area is about $4,000
This state has practically monopoly
in growing olives in America. Some
attempts have been made to grow the
nevadillo blanco olive in Florida and
Louisiana. but the soil is not adapted
to the fruit in either OF these stntes.
Some twelve years ago a seyenty-acre
olive orchard was started near Quad
alajara. Mex, but the trees never came
to bear fruit. and the scheme wal
abandoned when it was found the air
was 100 damp.
