DlsRrGARDING PROTOCOL,
Spain Says IL Was Sianed Under
 Pressing Necessity.

Paris, Oct. 12.-The sittings yester- day of the joint peace commissions of the United States and Spain were de- voted, according to the Gaulois, to an examination of a solution which it is possible to give to two questions in the protocol. The Philippine question, the Gaulois adds. was discussed incl dentally, the United States commis- sioners seeking to impose system of compensation fer claims connected with the entire group by assuming the debt, provided Spain guarantees the Cuban debt
 The Spaniards, it further appears, wish the United States to assume the Cuban debt and to hand over to Spain all the war material in Cuba and Porto Rico. The discussion, according to the Gaulois, was very animated, Judge Day of the American commits sicn and Senor Montero Rios, presi- dent of the Spanish commission having received precise instructions from their respective governments. The Ameri- cans consider that they cannot dis cuss the principles forming the base of the protocol, to which the Spaniards reply that the protocol was signed at a critical moment and under so press ing necessity that it cannot be consid- cred as expressing the sovereign will of free nation.

About 11:30 at night the two officers declared martial law and for two hours and a half this condition Of affairs prevailed. Indignant citizens woke up General King abcut l o'clock in the morning and the general caused the two officers to be rounded up and their martial law was declared on. It is stated that both men were under the Influence of liquor
 They will be court martialsd. For a time it was the liveliest night Homo lulu ever saw The two officers as stunned entire control of the town. Citizens were ordered off the street: and then off the sidewalks. These or Gers were enforced by mounted men under Who=lock's command. Sailors were chased aboard their ships and two steamer captains and customs of ficers had to scramble fer safety.

we'll as the streets of the city, which is reputed to be one Of the most un- healthy and filthy in the world.
 The death rate has dropped stead fly since we came in, and is now about cue-fourth Of what it was in July The water system has been put in order and a great many repairs made to IL, and the supply, although insufficient, is utilized to the greatest advantage.
 .I have had to hire doctors for the hospitals, purchase medicine for them and supply them with beds and bed ding and focd-in fact, re-eStablish and take entire charge of them. 1 hayo also established a strict system or house inspection and inspection Of the streets, and have a disinfecting depart pent as well as a cleaning depart n,ent. The city has been divided into five districts, in each of which is re- lief station, where food is distributed and a physician is in attendance who prescribes for those who present them selves sick and visits the sick in the iouses. The police department, all doctors and the officials ln each ward have received instructions to furnish these physicians a list Of the worthy poor, in order that we may be some what protected in the distribution or medicines and rations. I am issuing at present about 900 rations per day. Tie physicians are probably prescrib- Ing for about 600 or TOO people, and on some days many more. These phy- sicians are native Cubans, educated in the United States and employed by cur government as contract surgeons.
 ''The garbage and material which I collect in the streets I have dumped outside of town and burnt. I have also had the lower and most unhealthy por- ten Of the city ditched and drained ard the ditches running into the ha1- bor cleaned out, also the water front system of sewerage, which was com pietely obstructed and in a frightfu, condition. It has long been the GUS tom in this town to depend on heavy rains and the rushing floods through he streets to sweep away the accumu- lated filth of the dry seasun. All this has been swept down to the water front, where it has been collecting for years, choking the drains and filling the shallow waters near the shore so that when the tide goes ou. masses O. decomposing material are exposed to the intense rays of the sun and furnish frightful causes cf disease.

Washington, Oct 12.-When the at tention of the officials Of the war ds- partment was called today to a state ment made in Madrid that a, strong fierce of Spanish troops would be kept in Cuba until the treaty of peace had been signed, it was simply stated that tEsre had been and would be no change in the orders to the United States troops and that the instructions given to the American military com mission in Havana to take possession of the island on December 1, irrespect- i've of the presence or absence of Span ish officials, would be vigorously ad- hered to.
 The Spanish troops may stay in Cuba for Q time after that date if the evacuation is not complete, but they will no longer be masters of the is land and the United States officials will administer all of its affairs.

GEN. WOODS TASK.
frighffuI Sanitary Conditions 10 Be
 Relieved.

l Washington, Ocs. 12.-Secretary AL ger has received long ietter from Gen eial Leonard Weed, military governor of Santiago. It is personal to a great extent, but deals with many questions Of interest to the public, and Secretary Algsr has allowed some extracts to be published
 It may be stated that the secretary feels that the course cf events ~- tlago has demonstrated the sAos o shown in the selection of Gen . for this peculiarly difficult pos. - hining, as he did, medical skill with tha1 highest type of soldierly qualities and executive ability to meet and overcome the problems presented at Santiago. The letter, moreover, presents yiyidly the frightful conditions that confront ed the American army Of occupation Iafter the surrender Of Santiago.
 General Wood says, in part:
 "I have had a very difficult position from a sanitary point Of view, and not an altogether easy one from a military and civil standpoint. When we came into the city the sanitary situation was something frightful. There were a great many unburied dead in the houses, between two and three thou sand Spanish wounded and sick, and a great horde Of haif-famished and sick people, nearly 10000 in number, who had just returned from Fl Caney, where they had gone during the siege The water supply of the city had been cut of; there was TO water to De ob- ta;ned except from cisterns and a few wells, and the streets were full of dead animals and all sorts of filthy mater isls. I had to start in from the bot tenn and repair tha water works. Then came the removal of the dead. Some Of these were burned, because the number was so great and decomposition had advanced to such al extent that they could nc1 be buried. Burning is not uncommoniy practiced here during the epidemic season.
 We had yellow fever all around us, and about twenty cases in the Spanish military hospital. The civil hospital was full of dying people, and public buildings were being used as hospitals. On the whole, it was an extremely diff Ecult task, requiring great deal of hard work. I have been working sys- telnatically with every means at hand to improve the sanitary condition of the city. It is in this department that vast amount of work has been done I have a force Of about FOO men con- stantly employed and at many times have had accumulations of indescrib- aaIs filth -enlcyai which has accumu lated in the out houses and yards, as
