Washington, August l5.-The Post
tomorrow will say The announce
ment of the personnel of the military
commissions for Cuba and Porto Rico
may now be expected at any time.
The President has practically deter
mined upon the military and naval Of
6cers who will compose the commits
sions. 1t is probable that the names
will be as follows:
Cuban commission-Maj Gen. j
T. Wade, Maj. Gen. M. c. Butler
and Admiral w. T Sampson
Porto Rico commission Maj Gen.
John R. Brooke, Maj Gen Theodore
Schwann and Admiral w. S Schley
1t will be noticed that the name OF
Gen Fitzhugh Lee does not appear
in the list of the Cuban commission
ers The omission is not unintention.
al. Gen Lee was originally slated
for place on the commission, but
will not serve. owing to his desire to
remain at the head of the army corps.
1t is expected that this corps, the
seventh, will eventually be sent to
Cuba, and in that event Gen. Lee will
60 the island at It's head, preferring
this position to commisslonershlp.
