TO GARRISON THE ISLAND
FORTY THOUSAND ADDITIONAL
TROOPS GOING TO CUBA.
The United States VIII Not Wait Until
the spanish Troops Have
Left for Spain.

! Washington, Sept. 19.-It is the pres
ent intention Of the administration to
send to Cuba as a garrison force for the
island about 40 900 troops in addition to
the force now in Santiago under COM
mand of General Lawton. The organi-
cations, which are to comprise the Gu
! ban garrison, have not all been desig-
mated yet. but il is assured that at
least half of them viii be volunteers.
Within two weeks orders will be issu-
ed for the movement TO Cuba of the
first 900 Of the permanent garrison,
and it is the expectation now that they
viii sail from the United States about
October 10. These troops will be follow
ed quickly by others until the entire
force of 10000 has been established on
the island.
1t is not the intention Of the admins
tration to await the evacuation Of the
island by the Spanish forces before
sending United States troops to Cuba,
as the indications now are that il may
be several months before the Cuban
commissioners complete their work
Quite naturally a considerable number
of Spanish troops will remain on the ISL
and until the arrangements for the re-
linquishment of Spanish sovereignty ov-
er il formally have been concluded.
The rainy season in Cuba is nearly
at an end, and the most delightful sea-
son Of the year on the island is about
to begin. During the late fall and win
ter months the climate in Cuba is not
only enjoyable, but healthful, and with
such care as will be taken for the health
and comfort Of the American forces 10

department have no fear that serious i'll
ness among the men will follow the oc-
cupatiOn of the island.
