An Offlclal Meeting.
An official meeting OF the Spanish
commission to evacuate was held Sat
ufday night to consider the form Of
evacuation by the Spanish troops, and
the exact number and position of
the Spanish soldiers and the best
method of embarking them.
Yesterday afternoon there were
sent on board the Reso,ute sealed doc
uMents supposed to contain a state
inent of the results OF Saturday nights
conference. 1t is understood that it is
proposed to start the evacuation from
east to west, embarking the troops at
the ports Of Gibara, Nuevitas, Glen.
fuoyos and Havana.
The official statement of the num-
Der Of Spanish soldiers in the island
is said to place the aggregate at l0o,-
300, and it is understood that it ispro-
posed that the men shall carry with
them their arms, ammunition, mate
rial and equipments.
It, is estimated that the end of Feb
ruary will have come before the evacu-
alton of the island is completed, as
the soldiers must embark in Spanish
vessels. 1t is suggested that this will
be an advantages to both countries, the
United States having opportunity to
acclimatizo its men during the winter
months, as it is proposed that the
American government shall land
troops TO occupy each post simultane-
ously with its evacuation, not leav-
ing any POST unyu ,rded at any time.
