ing plan of giving Cuba home rule by
means of an autonomous government, but
while in name autonomous, 1T was contend-
cd by the insurGcnt element that genuine
home rule was lacking and that this CO.
Iona! regime was a continuance OF Spanish
domination.
1T appears however. that these colonial
authorities are taking a very active part in
the present negotiations and that there Is
more or loss corporation between them
and the Spanish government. This Gre
ates a condition IN which the United States
must deal not only with Spain, but with
those who claim to represent the island

thoroughly organized and cam exert nu'h

it's numbers IN its ranks much of the
wealth of Cuba and claims to stand for the
educated classes as against the insurgents
and iliterates. This makes two distinct
Cuban classe&-the autonomists. who are
cooperating with Spain. and the insur-
gents, who are opposed t" Spain.
1t now seems clear from the official as
we'll as from the press reports of Havana
and Madrid that the autonomist govern
ment IS taking up the claim first advanced
by Spain that many Incidental questions as
TO Cuba must be settled before the evacua-
ton begins.
But the view among government officials
here Is that the Cuban autonomiStS as
well as the Spaniards have no questions 70
advance or settle before evacuation IL de-
term ned upon. The time and pace OF
evacuation Is looked upon by the authOri-
ties mere as the only point involved and
there is likely to be a rude awakening II
the pro- Spanish element, either as autono"
r,istS or as native Span ards, insists upon
bringing in the determination OF the Cuban
debt future forms Of government rates II
tariff for Spain and many other subjects
as a preliminary to evacuation.
The American comm .ssoners. according
to the understanding here, will insist upou
Il strict adherence to the protocol for an
immediate evacuation of the Island, and l.
need be- will submit an ultimatum against
taking up subsidiary QucSt lions on cupA )
future While the cuban colonial govern
nlent is thus combining with the Spanish
government in bringing forward these in
ci1cntal questions yet the opinion was eN-
pressed today by a Gh diplomatic officer
based on recent advicoS from havana. tnat
a serious issue would be aVcrted and that
the actual evacuation o. the Spanish troops
from Cuba would begin within the next
month.
Bur it also appears that the evacuation
will cover 4 much longer time than has
brcn anticipated There are some 100000
Spanish troops in the island. Allowing 1000
mon on a transport and a vessel leaving
every day il would take 100 days, or over
three, months for the evacuation. But the
vessels are not available for A trip every
day for 100 consecutive days, 50 that the
time for departure would probably iaF cX-
coed three months.

WATER BOILERS THE CAUSE
General Waites Said He Had Requlsl-

Not Been Honored.

LEXINGTON Ky, September 2l.-A promi-
mont gentleman close to the national adj
ministration, says the present tour OF m
spection Of the southern camps by Secre-
tary Aigcr. Quartcrmaster General luding-
ton and Surgeon General Sternhers VIII
likely develop numerous charges from reg
mental and general field officers against
both the medical and the quartcrmaS,ef
departments and especially against Some
commissary officers. The talking was begun
mere by General Sanger against the meoi'ai
Department and by General NaiteS against
the quartz rmasters and it is expected mat
officers al other points will add very ma
terially to this testimony before tle 'o"'
OF inspection is completed.
Secretary Alger stated that All or tn'S
information and all other evidence that he
could secure would be presented to the IN
vestigating commission at Washington
At the conference here last evening be-
tween Secretary AlGcr, General bfeckih-
ridge the commander of Camp Hamilton

been a disgrace to the service; that it had

and caused hardsh!ps on the sick VINO

proper time
Surgeon General Sternberg, in reply. in
sisted that all acquisitions had been non
ored in Washington, and that any medical
men failing to do their duty should be re"
ported.
Waites Makes Direct Charge.
General Waitcs told Secretary Alger that
the neglect of some quartermasterS to fur-
ni.sh supplies was criminal. While in Chick
amauga he frequently made acquisitions
which were not honored. An imperative
order had been sent 10 have all water
boiled He had made a requisition ON
Ouartprmastcr General Lee for water boil

ton and after repeatedly urging Quarter
master General Lee to send the boilers.

which read:

General Waites then purchased the boil

u is generally agreed that the domi-
nant note of the character of the late
Duchess of Teok was her amiability,
but that term does inadequate justice
to the heart from which il sprang, She
was charity itself and wonderful or
ganizer of charitable relief on a large
scale
IL is said that she gave out of her
own pocket good fifth of the annual
amount granted to her by parliament,
and a story, vouched for by the st.
James Budget, shows that she knew
how to give on small scale, to be gen.
erous in mind as we'll as with money.
There were TO be some festivities ut
White Lodge, the Richmond residence
Of the duchess, and an invitation was
sent to the secretary Of a charity in
which the duchess was interested. By
, later post the young lady received a
letter from friend, asking her to a ten.
mis- party which was to be held the same
day.
Next morning both invitations were
acknowledged, but the replies were
carelessly put in the wrong envelopes.
The duchess opened the letter in which
the writer declared to her friend that
she was very sorry she could not come
to tennis because "Stout Mary" had
asked her to White Lodge, and she was
bound to go. 20
The day duly arrived, and the frank
young lady was warmly welcomed by
the duchess, who afterward took her
aside and laughingly said:
MY dear girl, l know am stout,
but cannot help it. You should be
more careful in posting your letters and
never forget that you do not know who
will read what you write. Don't apol-
ogize. have forgiven you
