EVACUATION ARRANGEMENTS.

San Juan, Oct. 4.-The American COM
missioners TO arrange for the evacua-
tion OF Porto Rico have been eminently
successful in their dealings with the
Spanish commissioners. Their mission
has been accomplished without friction.
More or less trouble was anticipated at
the outset, but our commissioners We're
agrceaby surprised at the frankness
and candor the Spanish commissioners
displayed.
While General Macias and General
Ortega, the second in command in the
island and one OF the Spanish commits
sioners, I'm their conversation with our
commissioners fully acknowledge the
fact that the loss of Cervera's fleet cut
off all hope Of succor from Spain, they
maintain that the American army had a
tremendous task before It in crossing
the mountains. and Macias contends
that the army could not have reached
the gates OF San Juan without a loss OF
10000 men. The little slkirmishes on the
south coast General Macias refuses to
call reverses, because he claims his
troops retired by his orders to the
stronger positions in the mountain pass
es. AS matter OF fact the only action
OF fnportance-the bombardment of
Morro castle by Admiral SIMPSONS fleet
early in May-Macias insists was dis
tinct Spanish victory SIMPSONS guns
pounded away for three hours. They
wrecked several buildings in the city,
but for their effect on the 30 foot walls
OF that old fortress the eight, 10 and 12-
inch proJectiles from the American ships
had as well been paper wads. Not a
gun was dismounted, not a man was
killed. After the fleet had retired
"repulsed" Is the word the Spaniards
usc-the victory" was celebrated
throughout the city. All the military
bands paraded the streets playing mar
tial music, grand concert was given in
the plaza and the streets that night
resounded with joyful cries. So II was
that the military chieftans who met our
commissioners met them, not as de-
feated soldiers to deliver up property
lost In battle, but rather as soldiers
martyred by the defeat OF others, to
y ED that which they might haze been
able successfully to defend.
General Brooke. Admiral Schley and
General Gordon were exceedingly care
full not to disturb their illusions in this
respect, and to their extreme tactful-
ness are due the ease and facility with
which the negotiations were finally con-
cluded. Trey decided before the first
meeting to stick to the main issue.
