BEGINNING WORK.
The Evacuation Committees Meet and
Adjourn Until Tomorrow

San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. Il
The two evacuation committees held
an hours session to-day and adjourned
until Wednesday. The American COM
missioners made known their position
regarding the evacuation and transfer
OF the island, in accordance with their
instructions from Washington. These
instructions they decline to make pub
lie at present, as publicity might lead
to embarrassment I'm the negotiations:
but the Spanish commissioners did not
disclose their positions nor the nature
Of their instructions. They manifested,
however, willingness to secure as much
expedition as possible, and our COM
missioners are satisfied with the way in
which their demands have been in
formally received. The adjournment
gives the Spaniards time to prepare
their reply. When that is concluded
issues will be Joined and the situation
become clear.
What effect. IL any. the appearance
Of yellow fever among the troops at
Ponce will have is problematical
Should the fever spread. IL would
doubtless induce the American com
missioners to hasten the evacuation to
the utmost. but as yet there is not
the slightest reason 10 expect an epi-
demic. General Brooke says two cases
have been reported to him and one
death. As soon as he learned OF these
he caused all suspects to be isolated
with a view Of preventing the spread
Of the infection. II is believed that the
cases originated in the Spanish prison
at Siboney.
