would be in shape for the issuance in a
few days of the necessary orders.
Contrary to expectation the selection
OF the personnel Of the peace commits
sion to meet at Paris was not taken up.
1t had been expected there would be
discussion of the names proposed for

W SSh, Uul HO nave DeGn issued
thus far concerning his movements. 1t
is understood that he will continue in
command Of the north Atlantic fleet
while serving as member of the mill
tary commission at Havana.
Being thus in command Of the fleet,
he will be enabled to select a flagship
and proceed thereon to Havana, al
though it is more likely that the COM
missioners will proceed together on a
warship, probably the Dolphin. In that
event the Dolphin would be the admit

raj Luce at one time made q steam
launch his flagship and in this way
came from New York to Washington.
If the commissioners dosnot proceed in
