It Is Stated That Enough Transports Gould Not Be Obtained to Com-
 plete by December 1.
AMERICAS POLICY
 HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED.
Spain Must Relinquish the Islands as Provided by the Terms of Peace, and as Soon as She Can
 Possibly Do So.

Washington, Oct 22-It is now cer- tain that the complete evacuation of Cuba will be delayed beyond the period originally fixed by the administration. This was followed entirely without ref erence to anything that has occurred in Paris before the peace commission. The war department has about satisfied it. self that the task imposed upon the Spanish authorities namely, the remov- al and the transportation to great dis tance by sea of about l20, 600 soldiers, sick and well, with their aeeoutrements, was beyond the ability of the Span iards.
 The magnitude Of the task is shown by the fact that the great transatlantic steamer lines crossing the Atlantic from New York all combined, i'll prosperous seasons, transport only about 50, GOO per sons in one year-less than half the number that the Spanish officials with their poor facilities are expected to trans- port i'll about ten weeks.
 Delay in the evacuation of Cuba will cause delay in the relinquishment of Cuba by the Spaniards over the entire island which was set for Decent Der 1. l. is hardly deemed prudent to under take to assume charge of the municipal affairs of Havana so long as the city con. tains strong garrison of Spanish troops,  and it is felt that law and order could be better maintained in such centres by allowing them to remain under Spanish jurisdiction until they are evacuated by the troops and reoocupied by United States troops.
 It is not to be understood that from this time the American military con- mission is in any sense abating the press ure it has brought to bear upon the Spanish military to evacuate the island and relinquishment of Spanish sover- eighty. On the contrary they have re- doubled their efforts to secure the ob- jects, but are not disposed to insist upon the performance of impossible tasks, and their demands will be largely shaped by their knowledge that the Spaniards are acting in perfectly good faith in their efforts to carry out the terms of the protocol.
 Jan. is the next date fixed.

NEW RATES ON
 CATTLE FROM TEXAS,
Those In the Panhandle Can Now Be
 Shipped by Colorado Roads Without Loss.

Denver, Oct. 22-The Texas Panhan. de has been added to the territory trib- utary to the Denver cattle market. Up to October the railway rates were such that very few cattle could afford to come this way from Texas, but the Union Pa- cific and Denver and Gulf have inst put in rate which makes it not only possi- ble but advisable to ship Texas cattle by way of Denver. The new rate is 31 cents per 100 pounds from all points upon the Gulf line as far south as Far well, Tex, to the Missouri river via Den yer. From Farwell to Estelina the rate is 34 cents via Denver with feed privi- leges in transit at any point The new tariff carries fiat rate to Denver on all cattle of 26 cents per 100 pounds, so that shippers who sell cattle to stop here can pay the Decent rate if they de. sire, but if they want billing through to the river, they have only to pay 3i cents or S4 cents, according to points where the shipment originates.

A CHANCE FOR
 YOUNG AMERICANS.
The Government In Need of Americans Who Arc We'll yersed Tn the
 Spanish Language.

Washington, Oct. 92.--A high official in the state department calls attention to the necessity of finding suitable corps of bright young men well versed in the Spanish language to assist in the execution of the colonial policy which has been imposed on the nation as re- suit of the war;
 He points to the difficulties encoun- tered by the American officials, naval and military, who went to the Philip pines, Cuba and Porto Rico, in dealing with the inhabitants of these islands. Clashes might easily arise and serious disagreement could be sure to follow for a failure on the part of the governments s agents to learn the feelings of the peo- pie whose affairs they were to admins ter. This condition was encountered at Cavite early in the United States mill tary occupation, and the relations be- tween the military and the insurgents might have been more satisfactory had the Americans been well acquainted with the Spanish manners and customs.
 The official suggested that the time was ripe for some leading educational institutions to provide special courses that would furnish the government with trained agents in case of need, as well as develop class of enterprising con- mercial agents, who would be of value i'll developing colonial trade.

LEE RIFLE is TESTED
CHASTITY Experiment with New
Weapon at Fort Riley.

Fort Riley, Kan, April 9.-TeSts were
made on the range here today Of the Lee
rife, adopted by the government for the
navy. The tests were conducted by the
same surgeons and army officers who con-
Quoted similar experiments here about
two years ago with the Krag-J orgensen
army rifle. Picked sharpshooters from
the several companies did the shooting.
Two cadavers We're used, one of a fat
negro and the other of a very thin white
man, These were bound to planks. and
placed behind white canvass targets, at
which the marksmen aimed.
Dr. ]. D. Griffith of Kansas City, g.
member Of the board, stated after the
tests that the rifle did not prove a success,
as compared with the Krag-Jorge
army gun. either for penetra tive powers
or humane qualities.
At range of ], 900 yards supposed to be
the distance at which the Lee rife will be
used most frequently in naval warfare,
the steel ecketed bullets of the Lee rife
failed to go through a corpse, and one
bullet failed TO go through the right arm
below the elbow. From the humane
standpoint the weapon proved worse than
the Krag- Jrogensen, for the bullets shat
tered bones into fragments. instead OF
piercing them.
In point Of accuracy the gun did not
seem to compare with the army weapon,
and this feature is attributed to the light
ness of the bullet.
When previously tested at the same dis
lance the army gun pierced. the cadaverS
and went through four inches of wood.

Of the announcements of late have been Of
an aggravatinS character. even though
petty, and wire repeated again last night.
Had he been disposed to do so. the min
lister might have made these indgnities
cause for complaint. and an indignity to
the German coat OF arms was in fact
the cause Of the rupture over the Caro-
lint islands. But Minister Polo has pre-
feTred to minimize these annOyances and
to assure his government by cable that
he was receiving every proper considera-
ton hero, The minister was somewhat
annoyed today at a published statement
to the effect that some attache of the
legation had criticized United States con-
suls for leaving their posts in Cuba
through fear. The minister and all his
staff deny that any such criticisms have
been made, and they feel that this mis-
represents the care they are taking to
avoid action which will increase the strain
OF the present situation.

WAINWRIGHT IN WASHING TON
He will be Given Something Hand
some by Secretary Long.

Washington, April 9.-Lfeutenant Com
msnder Richard Wainwright. executive
officer of the Maine, arrived here today,
and reported his return to ,Secrettry Long.
He was the last officer of the Maine to
leave Havana. He denied himself to all
newspaper men who sought his views, in
regard to the cause of the explosion and
the situation IN Havana at the time of
his departure. There is an impression
among naval officers that ecretary Long
proposes to compliment Commander
Wainwright by giving him the important
assignment of chief of the bureau of
naval information, which carries with it
ex-officio membership on the naval stra-
getic board, charged with the formula ton
Of plans Of operations in the event Of war
with Spain. The only thing that Will in
terfere with this arrangement is the wei
knkown desire of Commander Vain
wright to active duty afloat in the event
of hostilities with Spain.
1t is pretty well settled that if he is not
assigned to the bureau of naval informa-
ton he viii be given command of a fine
warship.

HUGE ORDER FOR POWDER

Wilmington. Del, April 9.-The r. l. Du-
pont-Demours company, it is understood.
has received from khe United States gov
eminent a contract for furnishing $1,000
600 worth Of powder, and the mills are
being rushed to turn out the material
rapidly as possible. Most Of the powder
manufactured at the mills at present is
red. and being more difficult to ignite than
the black powder, there are fewer explo-
sions. and II can be produced more rap
idly by the machinery. The company is
building a new mill in the lower yard and
also machines for the manufacture OF
prismatic powder. which Is to be the larg-
est in the world The wages of the com
panys employees recently have been In
creased.
