OCCUPATION OF CIENFUEGOs.
1t Has Been Postponed Until After
January Next,

The War Department has found that it
is impracticabfe to occupy Cienfuegos before
the 1st of January, and Maj. Gen. Wilson,
commanding the LIST Corps. which was des-
ignated to that duty, has been directed to
make such disposition Of the troops until
necessary to sail as in his judgment will
best serve the interests of the army.
A short time ago a brigade under COM
mand of Gen. Snyder was ordered to be
placed in readiness for immediate service
and occupation al Cienfuegos Since that
time 1t mas been found that there are now
$4,000 Spanish troops at Cienfuegos, and
that more Spanish troops to be sent
lhere, and consequently the Spanish garri-
son cannot be removed in time for occu-
pancy by the American troops about
December /.
This the date originally fixed when
Gen. Snyder would go to Cienfuegos. Besides
the l9,ooo troops originally at this place, 1t
has been found necessary to send quite ii
large number from Havana on account of
the disturbances which have occurred there
according 10 the preparation thus far
Tadc II does not appear that the United
states authorities are in any great hurry
ABOUT sending troops to Cuba. No ships for
transports nave been assembled at Savan-
nah, and no orders have been issued which
caused the quartermasters department 10
assemble transports at southern points for
the embarkation of troops to Cuba. The
shlps Will be ready when called for. The
MANITOBA. which took part of thezSth Cav
airy 10 Nuevitas, will probably take the
remainder OF that regiment to the same
place, as requested by Cen Carpenter who
is in command.

CONGRESS To1Do LITTLE
Few Measures of National Importance Likely
to Be Considered.
Appropriation Bills and Provisions
for Army and Nicaragua Canal
to Bc Acted Upon.

The general opinion among men who take
more than a superficial view of the situa-
ton is that the appropriation bills pro-
visions For the army and the Nicaragua
caral bill ara about an the measures of
recognized national Importance that will be
attempted at the approaching session of
Congress.
1t is thought that there may be a hard
fight over the Nicaragua canal, inspired
in part by interests that are opposed to
short-water route of transportation from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and by influences
anxious to conplicate the question SO that
they will have an opportunity to get fin
ger into the enterprise.
1t is regarded as not improbable that the
question of &C recession win be raised aud an
effort made to excite a disagreement be-
tween this government and the government
of Nicaragua and to involve other foreign
interests.
There is likely also to be considerable dis
agreement in Congress on the subject Of
legislation for the army, opposition to
measures proposed being an expression of
anti-eXpansion sentiment.
1t is likely, therefore, that these two sub
jects Will take up considerable of the short
session. leaving little for the consideration
of anything else except the appropriation
bills.
The urgent demand of the Indianapolis
currency convention people that the Nc
Cleary bill be passed by the House al this
session loses force from the flct that 1t is
known to be impossible to pass it through
the Senate, and the whole W oril woulI have
to be dons over again in The next House,
even if this House should adopt the meas
ure. The trouble about calling an extra
session of the next Congress ;C consider
this particular question would be that it
would either have to conSiie" legislat ton
with respect to the acquired territory of
this government, for which the adninistra-
ton does not expect to be ready, or else
the money question would again be brought
to the front as the vital issue to disturb
the business conditions of the country.

attaches. Such documents as he brought
with him were mere transcripts Of the Off
