THE TROOPS FOR CUBA.
Statement That the Army Of OCCUPATION
VIII Leave Within Three Weeks-Pre-
cautions to Insure Health.


Washington, Oct 1S.-The recon-
mendation of the military camp site
commission, now in Cuba, that no
troops be sent to the island until De-
cember will not be approved by the
war department. Every precaution is
to be taken TO insure the health Of the
army of occupation, but it must be
sent to Cuba within the next three
weeks. Assignment lists Of troops for
Cuba are nearly ready, and may be
given out to-day. There has been a
decided shifting of regiments es.
pecially Of volunteers. One of the most
important matters of detail now under
consideration is complete change in
the army ration. The department has
decided that bareback and bacon as the
basis for the ration, shall be sup.
planted entirely, or at least supple.
mented, by other food more suited for
the constitutions OF men in the tropics.
Profting by the mistakes of the San
tiago campaign the staff officers, upon
whom devolves the routine Of prepar,
ing for the army Of invasion, have
issued orders that only experienced
men are to be placed in charge of com.
missary and medical supplies, and that
experienced quartermasters are to be
selected especially for this work.

SPANIARDS IN CUBA.
They Think Our Soldiers Incapable
of Standing Hardships.
war INVESTIGATION COMMISSION,
They Arrive ut jacksonville, Fla, and Will
Make AN Inspection OF the Conditions
at Camp Cuba Llbre- sub Com
mittees Appointed.

Washington, Oct lS.-lnformation
has reached the war department that
a high officer of the Spanish army
very recently made the statement
that, had the Spaniards been aware
of the condi ion OF the American
army, its inability to withstand the
hardships of campaign, its lack OF
medical and other supplies and gen.
eral insufficiency, as told in the Amer
lean papers, the Spaniards would not
have given up, but would have con-
tinued the fighting for a long time to
come, fully believing that they would
have been able to prevent the capture
Of Cuba by American arms This
statement is known to have been
made to the American officers now In
Cuba, and causes some uneasiness in
official circles, as it may mean that
the Spaniards are not yet ready to
Weld the island under the terms OF
VIC Protocoi' -
1t is believed by officials in Wash
ington that had it not been for the
cutlery made regarding the army and
the conduct of the war, there never
would have been any question raised
by the Spanish peace commissioners
regarding the Cuban debt 1t is
pointed out that under the protocol,
the sole question left for the commits
sioners was the settlement Of the
Philippine question, and that nothing
was said about the Cuban debt or any
other Cuban question. BY those who
are in position to know, it is asserted
that the Madrid government was
aware when it asked for peace, and
when negotiations were opened, that
1t was useless to ask that the Cuban
debt be taken into consideration by any
commission, and that it is only since
the reports of the bad condition of the
United States army have reached
Madrid that the question has been
raised.

A SECRET OF THE WAR.
schley Came Very Nearly Being Recalled II.
Disgrace because He Did Not Locate
Cervera'a Fleet

Chicago, Oct 1.-THE Tribune this
morning says: The one great secret of
the war is out at last Commodore
Schley was on the verge Of
being recalled in disgrace, and
was only saved by the kind.
" consideration Of President
Mckinley himself, who refused to dis
grace brave officer for an unfortu-
nate error in judgment 1t appears
that Schley left Key West with
the firm conviction that Ger
vera would go to Cienfuegos.
Unfortunately, while Schley was
guarding Cienfuegos Cervera was at
Santiago. The cabinet considered
the case. The members were unani.
mously of the opinion that Schley
should be relieved of his command at
once and Commodore Watson put in
his place. The president came to
schley's relief by deciding that, as the
blunder had had no serious results,
Schley should be retained in command
of his squadron, but put under the i'm
mediate orders of Admiral Sampson.
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1898-10-20

Another matter JnaJ causes grave
consideration in the war department
is the temper of the Spaniards in Cuba,
and the fear that the impression which
now prevails there may lead them to
regard the American troops OF not
much account, and act accordingly
after the occupancy by the United
States. The matter has been discussed
in the war department, and it is prob
able that when the troops are sent to
Cuba there will be force Of such size
and character as to give the islanders
different impression of United States
soldiers than they now entertain.
"The impression among the Span
iards in Cuba" said an officer in posi-.
tion to know what is going on, lis that
the American soldiers are weak and
puny, incapable Of withstanding hard
ship, and whom it will be an easy
matter to vanquish. This feeling may
make it difficult for the Americans at
first. This impression Is due to the
charges that have been made against
the war department with such viru.
lence and insistence during the past
few months"

VAR tNyEsT1sATloN COMMISSION.

jacksonville, Fla. Oct. 1s.-The war
investigating commission arrived here
by special train direct from Washing
ton yesterday, and the intention was
announced Of proceeding Immediately
to Camp Cuba Libre for the purpose Of
making an inspection Of the conditions
existing there. The plans for inspec.
ton were arranged at special meet
ing held in Gen. Dodge's private car
on the way, when it was decided to do
the work by means of subcommittee
Subcommittee Of two each were also
appointed to inspect camps, and, If
necessary, take testimony at Tampa
and Fernandina, the committee of
Tampa being composed OF Messrs
McCook and Sexton. and that for Fer.
nandna of Messrs. Wilson and Howell
The inspection Of the camp here will
include an investigation Of the prox-
unity of the tents to one another, the
nearness OF the sinks to the tents,
width of streets and all other camp
conditions, the subcommittee to re-
port their conclusions to the full com.
mission. The have been some com
plants about this camp, and the au-
thors of these will be called, if posi-
BILE, and allowed to tell their stories
to the commission. Others making
complaints after the arrival of the
commission, whether officers, privates
or persons in civil life, will be called
before the commission. Some nvesti.

NO SOVEREIGNTY OVER CUBA.
London, Oct. Is The Paris corre-

sitting OF the peace commission yes
terday afternoon the American com
missioners oticially-and it would
seem definitely-rejected the idea of
accepting sovereignty over Cuba for
the United States. The Spanish COM
missioners thereupon remarked that,
Spain having abandoned such sover-
eighty under pressure from the United
States, and the United States having
denied that sovereignty henceforth
belongs to them, Cuba is de facto
il a state OF anarchy, as an inter
mission OF sovereignty cannot be
viewed in any other light. The Amer
lean commissioners rejoined that,
without accepting sovereignty, the
United States considered themselves
deputed and bound to maintain secur-
ity for all the inhabitants; that they
would not fail TO introduce and up
hold order, and, in short, they would
do all that was necessary to put the is.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The peace
commissioners have not yet reached
the subject Of the Philippines, but are
still engaged, not exactly with the
Cuban debt but rather in an effort on
the one side to get that subject before
the joint commission, and on the other
to exclude it entirely as not proper
for discussion. Without doubt the
friction between the two sides has be-
come more pronounced within the
past few days, but this is attributed
to mistaken ideas existing on the
part Of the Spanish public men
regarding the sentiment in the
United States and the probable re-
suits Of varying political struggles
here. Under these enormous impress
sions the Spanish commissioners have
persisted beyond what were believed
to be their powers of endurance upon
their efforts to secure, by some means,
an arrangement, by hook or crook pre-.
ferably, just now by getting the United
States to accept title to Cuba, for the
assumption Of the Cuban debt by this
country, or at least to relieve Spain
from that heavy obligation. The
Spanish effort will not prevail, but the
United States commissioners are re-
tarded in the contamination Of their
work thereby.
JUDGE DAYS EMPHATIC ASSERTION.
London, Oct ia dispatch to the
London News Agency from Paris says:
Yesterday the conference reached
crisis for the first time. Judge Day
presented the demands Of the Ameri-
can commission in threatening words
He said that delay was the only posi-
BILE object attainable by the persistent
efforts of the Spanish commissioners
to saddle the United States with the
Cuban debt and would be tolerated
no longer, as the United States would
neither assume nor guarantee any
part of the debt The Spaniards re.
piled that this placed Spain in a posi-
ton of repudiating or of reducing the
face value of the Cuban bonds
from 80 to 90 per cent, paying only
half the stipulated interest on the re.
duced value. Before they would adopt
either alternative they would surren.
der to the United States the entire
Philippines. Judge Day responded
that the surrender of the Philippines
would probably be demanded irrespec
tive Of the Cuban or any other debts.
This, to the Spaniards the first intima'
ton Of the intention of the United
States as to the Philippines, resulted
in whispered conference, followed
by request for an adjournment in
order to communicate with Madrid.

the city attorney, granted the petition of
E. w. Jones, asking that certain taX saleG
made in 1892 be Cancelled. 1t appears that
the assessment for the opening and widen
ing of Sixth street from Pearl street to the
west line of the Galpin tract was delivered
to E. H. Hutchinson, then street superin-
tendent. Afterwards he proceeded to sell
certain property which had gone delinquent
under the assessment, but was enjoined by
a number of property owners for SO doing.
This injunction was finally made permanent
by the superior court. The court held that
the proceedings were void This decision
was reported to the council, and the city
engineer advised that the money be returned
to the persons paying the same. The city
attorney reported yesterday that the money
had been returned to those who had paid
and he advised that as Mr.. Jones did not
pay, that his sale be Cancelled.
