United States Troops wEn Take Possess sion ou Next Tuesday and the
 stars and stripes Raised.

Washington, Oer. 14-The following eablegram was received by the war de- partmant from Major General Brooke at San Juan, Porto Rico:
 "The United States commission in formed the Spanish commission that the United States expects to have complete possession Of Porto Rico on Oct IS. The Spanish commission assent to this and say it is expected the evacuation will be completed on or before that day If not, they will concede possession. The United States commission has practical ly completed the details Of evacuation and the joint commission held it's last session anz adjoarued without a day. United States troops will be placed in San Juan and The flag hoi3ted it noon on Oct. IS
 This dispatch was very gratifying to the war department officials, as 1t ends all contention regarding the possession Of Porto Rico. The deJaiIs of the agree ments reached by tho commissioners have not been received aJ the war de- partment, but as the negotiations seem to have progressed smoothly it is sup posed the instructions of the administra- tion to the commissioners have been carried out.
