NO SUITABLE CAMP.
Commission Fails 10 Select Site Near Havana

HAVANA. Oct. 11.-Col. Hecker and
Captains Clay. Crawford and Clark
visited rhe grounds surrounding the
neigahorhood OF Guanabacoa, yester-
cay. for the purpose of selecting a
site FOR a camp to be used by the
American troops. Thus far they have
made 10 selection, having found most
Of the ground narshy and liable to
generate malaria and miasma. The
commissioners also find that the rail-
road facilities for the transportation Of
troops are most meagre and they have
recommended that work be immediate
~ begun on an extension of the road to
the eastern end of the island.
They regard such step as being OF
the greatest Importance for the mobil-
izatiOn cf the army of occupation in
case Of emergency. A SPECIAL commits

far as Santiago. All of the commits

SPANISH RULE WILL CEASE
In Cuba. December 1, and in Porto Rico
October 10.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE American
commissioners have notified the Span
ish authorities in Havana that the
United States will assume entire con-
troll, military and governmental, of the
island Of Cuba. Dec. l. The same con-
troll will be exercised in Porto Rico,
oct. 49,
This order was not intended to work
Eardships to the Spanish troops or gov
eminent but it was the best to fix a
definite time to end Spanish rule and
to begin operations under the Unite i
States. 1t is probable that United
states troops will go to Cuba before the
time mentioned. By, Dec. !, it is eX-
pected to have troops so stationed that
there will be no need of Spanish troops
to preserve order.
The Droclamations that have been is
sued by the President establishing Gus
tom rates and defining the manner IN
which Cuban territory shall be gov
crned will prevail. On Oct. Is, Major
General Brooke will assume absolute
command of Porto Rico. 1t is possible
that all the Spanish troops will not
have left Porto Rico at the time, If so,
they will be quartered in barracks until
they can be taken away.
The United States will not ship the
remaining troops to Spain at its own
expense. That was no part of the pro-
tocol. The custom houses, the money
received from customs and the govern
ment of the island will completely pass
from Spanish control on date set. The
present custom regulations under per-
mission of the President will prevail.

Even II Spanish Troops Remain Uncle Sam

Washington, Oct. 11.-When the atter-
ton of the officials of the war department
was called, today, TO the statement made
in Madrid that ii strong force of Spanish
troops would be kept in Cuba until the
treaty of peace had been signed il was
simply stated that there had been no
change in the movements of the United
States troops and that the instructions
given to the American military commits
sion in Havana to take possession of the
island on Dec. l, irrespective of the pres
ence or absence of the Spanish officials.
would be vigorously adhered to. The
Spanish troops may stay in Cuba for a
time after that date If evacuation is not
complete, but they will be no later the
masters of the island and the United
States officials will administer all of its
affairs.

BASE BALL AT CONGRESS.
The Geld Miners Extending Chal-
 lenge to the Territory.

Last Sunday on the Congress diam ond the Congress baseball club, for the sec ond time this season, defeated Prescott in as pretty game as was ever witness ed on Arizona grounds, and proved that Congress, besides having the best goId mine in Arizona, has one of the b. st baseball clubs.
 The Prescott boys played a good game. that Congress took in the third inn ng, and held to the end of the game. Fred Ter, Lincoln Somers and Marion of Pres colt distinguished themselves by their fine playing.
 and had an easy chance to make third if White had not forgot whether he was playing "One-old Cat'' or baseball. A double play by Hess and Bietzel in the first inning would have done credit to a professional nine. In the fourth inning a nine-inch Spalding shell struck Stewart on the head which showed that the Pres colt battery was finding the range. Af- ter that Captain BietzeI proved himself a StrategiSt by putting Warren on first base, taking third himself and displacing Stewart with Hess, thus executing a flank movement that put the enemy com pletely at his mercy.
 Captain Marion charged his brave men against their enemy time after time, but fire of the Congress battery like snow be- fore an Arizona sun.
 Who is the next baseball club that thinks itself strong enough to take the conceit out of Congress?
