In my opinion. for the purpose Of

it will be necessary at first to main
tain a very strong force of troops | 80
not anticipate serious trouble. either
with the Cubans or otherwise. but |
think it a wise and safe policy to be
prepared for all emergencies.
There should be at least a garrison
of 10000 troops on the island. With
this force at immediate command any
thing likely to disturb the public peace
would be readily quelled. do not think
it likely that we should be called upon
to use these troops, but the moral eff
feet of such a large body of men here
would do much to overawe certain ele-
ments which only await an opportuni-
ty to give us trouble
THE military occupation of this part
of the island is likely to last at least
until the rainy season. 1t will be nee
essary to have matters in such shape
then that the greatest proportion may
be withdrawn and small garrison
say of five thousand men be retained.
Possibly even this number may not be
necessary.
"A project has been discussed which
will solve the Cuban army problem
and at the same time obviate the nee
essity for Keeping American troops in
this tropical climate during the un-
healthy season. T his is to form regi-
ments composed of Cuban soldiers. Of
ticered by Americans and utilized for
garrison duty until the eventual fate
of the island is decided.
Il do not know that this plan will
be adopted, but it has been given seri-
Gus consideration"

Havana, Dec. 2S.-There has been
considerable excitement in those parts
of the city and suburbs that have been
evacuated by the Spanish troops, the
Cubans giving vent to patriotic cries,
such as viva Cuba Libre, and loudly
expressing sentiments calculated to eN-
cite the indignation of the Spaniards.
In some instances the Cubans resorted
to overt acts against their Spanish
neighbors. There has been wild shoot
ing by Cubans all over the city. There
is much revelry in the evacuated por-
lions of the town. Gen. Ludlow, the
Military Governor of Havana, has taken

City Hospital recovering from a re-

ney to become enlarged, and it was
