TO GARRISON CUBA.
Plans for tho Departure OF Troops Conn
plete-siKth Missouri and Third Nebrns4
ka Among tho Flrat to CO.


Washington, Oct. s.--The war de-
partment has completed plans for the
departure of the second expedition OF
troops to garrison Cuba. The first di-
vision is already under orders and
should be started within n very few
days from the southern ports near
their camping grounds, The First de
vision starts under command of Brig.
Gen. Carpenter, who commands the
cavalry brigade, composed of the
Seventh and Eighth United States cav
airy. He will hold his command Of
the entire division simply by reason Of
seniority over Brig. Gen. Suider and
Brig. Gen. Williston, and in the end
permanent designation must be made
OF n division commander. 1t is the in-
tention OF the war department that
Maj Gen. Wade, now president of the
military evacuation commission, shall
command the entire force of United
States troops assigned to duty In Cuba,
but he will scarcely take active com.
maRd until he has completed his dutieS
with the commission.
The Second division will comprise
all the troops now under the command
Of Maj Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. These
troops are stationed at Jacksonville,
and the force comprises the following
regiments, all volunteer troops: Sec
ond, Fourth and Ninth Illinois infan-
try, One Hundred and Sixty-Arst In-
diana infantry, Second Louisiana In
fantry, Sixth Missouri infantry, Third
Nebraska infantry Organs regiment),
First North Carolina infantry, Second
South Carolina infantry, First Texas
infantry, Fourth Virginia infantry
and the Second volunteer cavalry.
About the time of the movement Of
the Lee command begins, another
movement will take place of troops
now in the middle states towards the
southern camps, which have been Sc
lected by the Schwan board, lying In
Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama.
This will result in the abandonment
of the camps at Middletown, Pa, Lex
ington, KY, and Knoxville, The
southern camps are to DO laid out in

ments that the experience OF the last
summer has dictated. Wherever per-
manent buildings will conduce to the
comfort and health Of the troops they
must be erected, although the COM
handing officers are to keep In mind
at all times the propriety OF avoiding
excavation of the men by keeping
them too closely indoors and away
from camp life.
Maj Gen. Fitzbugh Lee received an
order from the war department yester-
day directing him to move his COM
mand from Jacksonville, Fla, to Sa-
vannah, Ga, and get it in readiness to
embark for Havana the last of this
month. Gen. Lee left last night for
Savannah to make preliminary ar
rangements to carry his orders into
effect.

Washington, Oct. s.-President Nc
Kinley has cabled the United States
military commission at Porto Rico that
the island must be evacuated by the
Spanish forces on or before October

ers be so informed. In case of the

have evacuated the island by December
l, with a strong intimation that in
case of failure the United States would
brook no further delay, but imme-
diately thereafter take possession of

Generals Honorablv Dpucharge..

Washington, Oct. S.-The war de-
partment yesterday issued the long-ex-
pected order for the honorable dis
charge from the volunteer service Of
the United States of three major gen.
erals and 26 brigadier generals of vol
unteers. This heavy reduction ysas
made necessary by the fact that the
volunteer army itself has already been
reduced by fully 80 per cent. and there
is consequently NO duty remaining for
these officers to discharge. The off
GERS who were promoted from the
regular army will return to their
former duties.

GEORGE sAxToN KILLED.
Down by an Angry Woman Whom
He Had Offended.

Canton, O., Oct S-George d. Sax
ton, brother of Mrs. William McKin-
ley, was shot dead yesterday in front
of the residence OF Mrs. Eva B. Alt
house, widow OF the late George Alt
house, $40 Lincoln avenue, where he is
presumed to have gone to make call.
Five shots were fred, three of which
entered his body, and Mrs. Anna @.
George has been placed under arrest
on suspicion of the murder. Mrs.
George was some time ago tenant OF
the Saxtons and was elected from the
place 1t was common talk that Mrs.
George would make frequent threats
of taking Saxton's life. Many of these
threats are said to have been sent
through the mails and the federal
grand jury sitting in Cleveland last
fall indicted her for alleged improper
use of the mails. Mrs. George gave
bond and the indictment, so far as it is
known, is still alive.

D1sBANDING THE cUBANs.
Gen. Garcia starts on His Mission to Try 20
Influence Insurgents TO Return
to Civil Life.


New York, Oct. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Santiago de Cuba
says: Gen. Garcia left the city Thurs.
day morning ON his mission through
Santiago province, acting as an agent
of the American government, to ar
range the details for the disarmament
of the Cuban army. He will confer
with the military commanders in the
outlying districts, using his strong in
huence to induce the peaceful disarm.
ing Of the Cuban soldiers and their re-
turn to work.
The Cuban leader left the city with
an escort of go men and was accom-
panied by Lieut.. Col. Paose, Capt. J.
Escabante and Lieut.. A. s. Colante as
his aides. He will go to Jiguani,
Bayoma and Manzanillo, visiting on
his way all the other important Cuban
commands. The tour will probably
occupy three weeks and his party re-
ceived rations for that period from
Gen. Lawton.
The officials of the American admin
istration here prophesy good results
from his negotiations, believing that
his efforts will be successful in getting
this province rid of the large number
of insurgent bands, who are living on
the country in condition of outlawry,
levying contributions ON the planters
and preventing the resumption of
peaceful pursuits by those who are de-
sirous of doing so,
Gen. Garcia, is, however, daily losing
influence among the Cubans, His ac-
ton in denying the authority of the
provisional government has estranged
the majority of the moderate party,
while the extremists resent his friendly
feeling for the United States and his
cooperation with the administration
here. Many of the latter characterize
him as a renegade from the principles
of independence and openly avow that
he is allowing himself to be sold to
the Americans, His motives are looked
upon with suspicion, and his desire to
remove the friction between the Gu
bans and Americans is openly stated
to be trap for the defeat of Cuban in
dependence. This feeling will mill
tate greatly against his usefulness
from the American standpoint.

THE PHILIPPINES FIRST.
American Peace Commissioners VIII sub
ordinate All Else Until DlapositIon OF
the Islands 10 Settled.

Washington, Oct. Gas a result OF
q consultation at the white house be-
tween the president, Secretary Hay
and Secretary Long, fresh instruc-
tions regarding the Philippines have
been wired to the American commits
sioners w Paris. They do not ma
terially alter those given to the dele
gates before their departure for
France, but are on new point brought
up since the consultation of Maj. Gen.
Merritt with the American repl's-
sentHtiveA
II was ascertained that the pro-
gramme which the commission Is fol-
lowing requires the disposition of the
United States affecting the archipel-
ago before any other questions are
considered. The president has been
informed of Gen, Merritts view ir'
favor Of the retention Of all the is
lands, but the fresh instructions do
not affect the demand for the island
of Luzon and reversionary rights over
the remainder of the group. They re-
late more to a matter of detail and are
intended to equip the American COM
missioners with material to answer
the Spanish commissioners in case they
should raise the point in the reply to
the formal demand presented by Mr..
Day. This reply is expected Friday
and the adjournment of the commits
sion for such short time is regarded
by Mr., Day and the administration as
indicating that the commissions work
will soon be completed. 1t is recog-
nized that the Philippines will be the
bone of contention and that once they
are out of the way it will be pretty
plain sailing in the matter of arrang-
ing for the cession of Guam, Cuba,
Porto Rico and the remaining Spanish
West Indies to the United States,

Jones left Oklahoma territory II

Accounting for his failure to bring out
any musk oxen, Jones said he caught
several, but the Esquimaux are super

the country, and one night they cut
