LIMIT FIXED FOR sPANIARDs.
Cuba Must he Evacuated by December l.
and Porto Rico by October ID.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE American
commissioners have notified the Span
ish authorities In Havana that the
United States will assume entire con-
trOl. military and governmental, OF the
island of Cuba December LIST. The
same control will be exercised In Porto
Rico October 18th.
Instructions have been sent to the
United States military commission In
Cuba fixing December LIST as the date
when Spanish control over the island
must cease. The commissioners, acting
upon these Instructions, notified the
Spaniards that all ports and customs
receipts and the management OF mu-
nicipal affairs will pass into the hands
of the American military commander
OF the Island.
This order was not intended to work
hardship to the Spanish troops or gov
ernment, but II was thought best to Tx
definite time to end Spanish rule ana
to begin operations under the direction
Of the United States. 1t Is probable
that United States troops will go to
Cuba before that time. BY December
LIST II is expected to have troops so sta
toned that there will be no need of
Spanish troops to preserve order.
The proclamations that have been Is
custom rates and defining the manner
In which Cuban territory shall he gov
crned, will prevail until 1t becomes ap-
parent that new regulations are
needed.
October 18th Major General Brooke
Will assume absolute control OF the
island OF Porto Rico. 1t is possible
that all the Spanish troops will not
have left Porto Rico mt that time: IL
SO. they will be Iuartercd In barracks
until they can be taken away. In the
language OF Secretary Algcr. the United
States will he host and the Spanish
the guests after October 18th.
The United States will not ship the
remaining troops to Spain ut its own
expense. That was no part OF the pro.
tocol. The custom houses, the money
received for customs. and the govern
mcnt of the island will pass complete
ly from Spanish control on the date
set. The present custom regulations,
under proclamation OF the President,
Will prevail

"In the first place" said this COM

The only answer vouchsafed Is that
General Lee selected the camp nt
Jacksonville. I do not think any
other camp is mentioned. But this
omission will. no doubt. he rcmedied

we will call"
Secretary Ayers report includes
about 5000 words. and, in addition to
the Jacksonville camp matter. covers
only these points: The selection of
Tampa ns u point of cmbarkntion:
Rear Admiral Sampson's dispatch the
cause OF hastcning troops TO Santiago;
Commodore Rcmeys dispatch the
cause of the subsequent delay of the
troops. Discussion OF these topics ex-
liausts the report.
No attempt seems TO have been
made to explain the causes Of the
hardships suffered by the soldiers In
Tampa. The matter Is brushed aside
with apparent contcntment In the re-
lation that Tampa was considered n
good location and the most convcn-
lent point Of embarkation. Secretary
Alger will be asked for Il fuller an

Propeiling his car at rate of speed in
excess of twelve miles an hour was the
charge upon which Motorman Henry T.
Sweeney of the Metropolitan line was tried
in Judge Scott's court today. Bicycle Po-
liceman Potter reported that the defend
ants car went at the rate of about eigh-
teen miles an hour on H street last night.
After leaving IL street, 1t Is alleged, the
car went a a rate of fifteen miles an hour.
The defendant made a denial of the
charge. He said there was no occasion for
fast speed last night. as his car was on
time. Making the number of stops that he
did. he said he thought it was Impossible
for his car to have run at an unlawful
rate.
Questioned by the court, the defendant
said he had no way of telling just how
fast his car goes.
Judge Scott said he thought the COM
pany should provide Il meter of some kind
He said he disliked very much the neces-
sity for imposing fines on railroad men, but
as long as there is law it is his duty to
see that the law is upheld. A fine of s.

'pain should Pay the Costs.

Th re is a great deal said in the papers
as whether We should pay Spain for the
Phil pines. or pay for the improvements
she as made thereon, and whether we
cone tered assets or liabilities and all
that
Now, il seems to me that the whole busi-
ness in = .utshell is this:
In suits at-law the defeated party Gas
presumably III the wrong) pays the costs
of the SUIT; and in war the defeated nation
also pays the costs Tor indemnity, as also
being adjudged in the wrong by the con-
ouering nation-the only nation having the
power to decide and enforce its Judgment
as to the right or wrong in the case
If ! am right in this, Spain should pay
an indemnity TO the amount of the to-
tai cost of the war to the United States
If Spain cannot pay in cash we should
seize and hold her possessions; and if the
possession so held by us be of greater
value than the cost of the war the differ
enCe should be allowed Spain. The same
principle that obtains in law also obtains
in war.

The Van Wyck Odds According to a
Turfman From View York.

IuF1man FROM new 1Ork.
"In my humble opinion said one of the

Star reporter today, Roosevelt will be
elected. The contest in New York between
Van Wyck and him, I'll admit, is about as
uncertain a horse race, but it seems to
me to be a race between a stake horse and
a selling platter, with the conditions just
right for the crack jack, which In this
event is Teddy. The owners of the other
starter are / confess, set of real smart
people, and those who back him will get a
ride for their money, but / can't, for the
life of me- see what right he has to beat
Platts entry. The odds they are singing
out on Croker's are all for effect. Odds
don't win races. for ! to 10 shot is just
as liable to go wrong as one at 10 to l.
Such things are happening about every
day, and then, again, the price on van
Wyck is a false I'm just from New
York, and I've seen enough to know that
most of these swell bets you hear of on the
Tammany starter are fakes-simply given
out to catch the suckers. IT'S about an
even thing, this New York race at the best,
and the professional layers of odds, eSpe-
cially those in that village, you can wager,
are not giving any 10 to on Crokers en-
try, They are too educated for that. The
Croker people are simply making great
hurrah. trying to win the race before the
flag falls. But the Roosevelt crowd Will
be doing the hurrah act after the race, ana
they'll be the people, it looks to me, Wholt
cash their tickets. If you fancy Tammany's
representative don't give better than even
money; and if you are sweet on PIatt
stable, take all the 10 to Z and 10 to and

you'll hear of more of those odds against
