Washington, Aug. 14.-The White
House, the War Department and the
Navy Department to-day resumed
their usual Sunday quiet, condition
which has not prevailed since the
Maine was blown up in Havana har.
Dor February 18th.
Secretary Alger was at the depart
ment Z few minutes and also went to
the White House, but did not remain
long. General Corbin came into his
ONCE during the day and looked over
his dispatches. but did not remain con.
stantly ON duty, us he has been doing.
There were few clerks about the de-
partment, but scarcely Sunday
passes in peace times that this does
not happen. The busy, warlIke atti-
tude has entirely disappeared and
Washington has settled down to a
peace basis.
The commission created to ar
range the details OF the evacuation Of
Cuba is considered happy solution
OF a perpiexing question. There are
now In Cuba between $4,000 and 1OO,-
600 Spanish soldiers. 1t will be quite
an undertaking for Spain to remove
this army. The President will prob
ably be willing to agree that the with
drawnl shall be nt such rate that
about 25,0OO Spanish soldiers will re-
main upon the island October 1st.
Then the American forces can be land

soldiers. The administration does not

sumcient amount Of territory for q

and the building up of an American
city at that place begun. Still another
idea, which Is being considered, IL the
retention of the island Of Luxon, the
advocates Of that plan believing that
there would be trouble between the
governments which occupied a portion
OF the island with a line of demarka-
tion such as would exist In case Ma
Mia and the bay only were retained
The island Of Luxon is the largest of
the group and contains about 5000, 600
people. which are said to be the better
class In the Philippines. 1t is believed,
however, that the administration and
the commission will be greatly infiu-
erced by the reports which Admiral
Dewey and General Merritt will make
on the subject. Their reports are ex-
pectd before the commission meets.
The final determination as to the
government OF Porto Rico and the set
tlement Of the government of Cuba are
problems for settlement, but the I'M
preston prevails that these Islands will
become quite rapidly Americanized
and every encouragement for them to
do 70 will be given. Porto Rico will
be under military control for the pres
ent. Cuba also will be similarly gov
erned, but 1t IL probable that American
reforms in the matter of government

Blanco further reported that three
