HAVANA HAPPENINGS,
Mr.. Porter Assures Cubans America
VIII Not Grab the Island

HAVANA, Sept. 23.-The British con-
sui last night paid a long visit to the
American military commission at the
TrOcha hotel. He conversed at length
with Gen. Wade and Gen. Bates ana
Rear Admiral Sampson. The authori-
ties have forbidden music in the park
of VedadO, the suburb where the Trc.
cha hotel is situated. 1t is understood
that they did so in order to prevent
crowds of people from congregating in
the vicinity of the hotel. The Ameri-
can commissioners, in view of the
great number of American citizens in
the island who require aid, and having
no American consul here to distribute
relief, have, according to report, asked
the Washington government for a spe-
ciaI credit to attend 20 these urgent
requirements.
According to information received the
commission has advised it's government
that it would be very difficult to bring
troops to Havana to be housed in the
existing barracks, as they have become
infected by overcrowding by sick Span
ish soldiers and bad sanitary condition
OF the whole town. 1t is, therefore,
proposed that frame barracks, ready to
be put together, shall be shipped from
the United States before the American
troops are brought here.

at the banquet made a speech, in the

studying the riches and resources of
the country and the best means Of de-
Veloping the same and every branch OF
industry and commerce; that he hoped
he would find the Cubans ready to help
him to succeed in his mission. He eX-
pressed himself as strongly in favor
OF the free Importation of cattle, both
for agricultural work and for con-
sumption, and also of the free importa-
tion of all material and implements
and agriculture and manufacture. He
dwelt upon the necessity for co-opera-
tiOn by every man of property and all
laboring people, both Spanish and
Cubans, to help carry out the plans of
the Uniteed States for the prosperity
of the island, and said it was we'll

United States program in Cuba, but
If annexation should be treated on

ate from Cuba herself by her asking

Drawn AND GOOD MORALS
Wanted In Men Who Are to Remain
In the Army.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Gen. Miles.
though he himself broke into the regu-
lar army through the volunteer service,
does not appear to have much love for
the present volunteers. He said today:
I'VE have $4,000 more volunteers in
the service than are needed. We shall
muster out such regiments now in
camp in this country as are demoraliz-
ed by homesickness.
Secondly, we will weed out of the
regiments all the married men and all
the men who are actually required at
home.
Third, we intend to dispense with
the services of all soldiers who are
physically incapable Of standing the
hardship of garrison duty where con-
Gitions are unfavorable to health. And,
last of all, we shall discharge as rapid
ly as possible the class Of men injurious
to the morals of the service
''If congress responds to the PROPOSE
tion to increase the regular army to
the maximum strength of 100000 men,
there will be further mastering out of
volunteer troops, just as fast as the
regular army can be recruited up to full
strength. We hope to recruit the regu-
lar army from the best material al
ready mustered out. Our foreign gar
risOn for the present will require in
round numbers 1OO,O 900 men, divided as
follows: Cuba, 10000; Porto Rico, 12,-
900: Honolulu, 5000; and the Philip
pines, 10000. We shall need a garrison
of about $4,000 men in our own coun-

M. Olivier fell to the floor wounded.
He was taken to a hospital. Nine.
Paulmier was taken into custody, and
when questioned said:
81 wished to kill M. MilIerand'
She explained that La Lanterne had
slandered herself and her husband, be-
cause her husband had written a letter
to Gen. Chanoine, the minister of war,
with reference to putting a stop to the
attacks upon the army provoked by
the Dreyfus affair.
The alleged slander published in La
Lanterne was contained in an article
written by a journalist named Turot
and not M Millerand or M. Olivier, in
which reference was made to the con-
jugal relations of Nine. Paulmier and
her husband. The article, it Is presum-
ed, was published without M. Miller
and's knowledge. One of the bullets
fired by Nine. Paulmier entered NJ.
OhVier's chest, and the other struck
him in the armpit. Nine. Paulmier is
a tall blonde. She was noted Partisan
beauty and still retains much Of her
elegance. She is prominent in the best
society of the capital. After her arrest
she said:
Press >polemics have reached too
base a level when women and children
are attacked. In the absence of my
husband there was no alternative for
me but to secure justice for myself.
If every woman thus attacked would
do as 1 have done it would make these
ignoble wretches more cautious. 1 am
sorry that I was forced to fire on a
brave man whom 1 do not know"
M. Olivier's condition tonight is very
critical. Deputy Paulmier was some
years ago the defendant in a suit
brought by a pretty woman for the
expense of luXuriously furnishing
maisonette in the Champs Elysees. La
Lanterne accused his household of be-
Ing ''menage de trois." Millerand was
outside the office Of La Lanterne in the
crowd when the shooting occurred.
The military authorities have accom-
plished their plan Of sitting Col. Pic
quart by placing him au secret. Col.
Picauart's friends have been denied
admission to the prison. His counsel
has twice appeared at the office of the
clerk of the court and applied for per-
mission to see his client. On both oc-
casions he was informed that Col Pic
quart had been placed au secret and
could be seen only on an order from
the authorities, which order M. Labor
die has been unable to secure.
La Liberte predicts important action
by the council on Tuesday, which will
result In the convocation of the cham
bers.
The final meeting of the commission
to consider the subject Of revision,
which was fixed for tonight, has been
postponed until 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning, when a report will be draft
ed 1t Is stated In ministerial circles
that the report Will advise M. Sarrien,
minister of justice, in favor Of revision.
M. Brisson, the premier. opposed the
convocation of the chambers on the
ground that the revision question Is
purely a governmental matter.
Gen. Zurlinden and Gen. Chenoine
are equally responsible for the situa-
tion, which is regarded as very grave.

ton Of the teeth. The body had been bur-
led, but a permit was issued and the re-

last legislature, is chairman of the First Con-
gregational society and a member Of the

child.
Charles A. Plumb, arrested Wednes-
day night, on suspicion that he was

nection with the case. Young Guilford is still

ply for writ of habeas corpus tomorrow.

duties was that of taking an inventory
of all the shipping that fell into Ad-
miral Dewey's hands on the 18th inst.
This includes everything afloat, either
on the bay or river, which means a ra-
dius of forty miles, and it's value is
about $1,000, 900. To aid Capt. Glass
and Lieut.. Braunersreuther in the
work five officers were detailed from
Admiral Dewey's fleet.
Ensign Moffet has been busy with
gun cotton and dynamite blowing up
the wrecks that were sunk in the Pa
sig river and the outer harbor, and Of
the twenty or thirty wrecks in the river
nearly all have been destroyed, so that
ships drawing fifteen feet of water
may now enter and come to the

peremptory message of instruction has
