Of the feet might miscarry by reason of
some delay in arriving. The time of ar
rival is looked upon as a tribute to the
acciSacy with which our naval COM
manders can calculate on the length Of
time for a long cruise. The feet left San
tiago at g. m. last Sunday and at that
time Admiral Sampson notified the de-
partment that he would reach New York
early Saturday morning. In this calcu-

Of the slowest ship in his feet as the one
governing the movem1S Of the entire
feet. The arrival exactly as calculated is
said TO be in line with the performance
Of the monitor Monterey. which made a
six weeks trip across the Pacific to the
Philippines arriving within twelve hours
Of the time on which the arrival had been
calculated.
After the naval review today the battle
ships and cruisers will go to the Brooklyn

is no outline of the policy % the govern
meut IN advance of the meeting OF the
commission. At the same time, leading
officials express their individual opinion
that Premier Sagasta's claim is very far

The question IS somewhat complicated
in the present case by the fact shat Cuba

by conquest. but rather by mutual agree

In case OF a conquest no question could
arise as 10 the passing Of all barracks.

down by the United States instructions
for the government of armies in the field.
is as follows:

by its governor. and sequesters for its
benefit or that of It's government ali the
revenues OF real property belonging to
the hostile government or nation. The

The regulations further provtde-article

DEPARTURE FROM SANTIAGO

Washington, Aug. 90.-The latest ad-
vices from General Shafter, commanding
the Fifth army corps. are to the effect
that he will not leave Santiago until after
the departure OF all the troops at his
command The expectation is that the
last of these troops will embark during
the early part OF the next week. and that
General Shafter will be able to sail for
home before next Saturday. The plan
for the embarkation Of all of General
Skaters corps before the end of the
present week was impossible because Of
the lack OF sufficient transports.
The following cablegram from General
Shafter has been received by the war de-
partment:
Santiago de Cuba, August 20.

The Yucatan, with 500 Seventh infan-
try: the Santiago. with 500 Thirty-fourth
