but sister of the deceased made the re-
quest at the grave. When the undertaken

captain in uniform, and not that of the
aged lady, he did all he could to appease
the doubly distressed relatives. The bag

railway officials telegraphed for the return

The Evacuation Of Cuba

The settlement of the details of the evac-
uation of Cuba and Porto Rico is already
receiving the earnest attention of the oiN
Gals. Some provision is to be made Tor
the treatment of the Spanish prisoners
and for the disposition of small arms and
the artillery and war stores. There is also
some naval property of value remaining In
Cuban and Porto Rican ports, and it is a
question whether or not this should be de-
ma aided by us or be allowed 70 remain In
Spanish possession. The conclusion has
been reached by Secretary Alger to refer
these matters to a military commission.
and Adjutant General Corbin is now look
ing up precedents for the guidance of such
a commission. Possibly this commission
would meet the question raised by the ma
val war board as to the propriety of hold
ing Moro castle as pledge for the formal
signature of the treaty Of peace.
