THE EVACUATION OF CUBA.
1t Must Necessarily Be Delayed Beyond the
Period FIXED BY The Administration
Owing TO Lack of Transportation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. eat is now cer-
tain that the complete evacuation of
Cuba will be delayed beyond the
period originally fixed by the ADM MIS-
tration. This will follow entirely
without reference to anything that
has occurred in Paris before the peace
commission. The war department has
about satisfied itself that the task i'm
posed upon the Spanish authorities,
namely, the removal and transportation
to a great distance by sea of about
100, 900 soldiers, sick and well, with
their acouterments, was beyond the
ability of the Spaniards. The magui-
tude of the task is shown by the fact
that the great transatlantic steam
lines crossing the Atlantic from New
York, all combined, in prosperous sea-
sons, transport only about $4,000 per-
sons in one year-less than half the
number that the Spanish officials, with
their poor facilities, were expected to
transport in about ten weeks. Delay
in the evacuation of Cuba will cause q
delay in the REIMBURSEMENT of sover-
eighty by the Spaniards over the en-
tire island, which was set for Deem
