NO DISORDERS IN CUBA
SPANISH SOLDIERS RESTRAINED BY
CAPTAIN GENERAL BLANCO.
Over 100000 Men to Be TRANSPORTED to
Spain-President Mnss0's Address
to the Insurgent Army.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16-Advices from
Havana and Porto Rico are that arrange
ments for the evacuation of the islands are
proceeding satisfactorily. Our military
commissioners have met with no serious OBJ
stacles or friction. Officials of the admin
istration say that General Blanco has not
yet made an official statement of the num-
Der of Spanish soldiers who will have to
be transported to Spain, but the under
standing is that the total will be between
10000 and 125, 0C0. Thus far there have been
no scenes of disorder in or around Havana
that have been called to the attention of the
commissioners. Impatient Cubans are
crowding hard on the Spanards, and that
collisions between them will occur may be
taken for granted. General Blanco appears
able to hold his soldiers under fair control
and to be earnestly against the perpetra-
ton of outrages. This may be beca use
wholesale destruction of lives and property
would be blow directed chiefly against
people who have remained steadfastly loyal
to Spain throughout the entire war. How
ever this may be and whatever the motive,
1t be said that the arm of the ruthless
Spanish soldier has been stayed, and down
to date there has been little wanton de-
struction of property by the soldiers who
are soon to leave the island for their ma
tive country.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-With William r..
Day and William p. Frye, members of the
peace commission, who arrived from Wash
ington tonight, were Secretaries Long and
Bliss and Attorney General Griggs. Secre-
tary Long, accompanied by Capt. Clover, of
the United States ship Bancroft, went to
the Manhattan Hotel. He said: '"There is no
significance in my visit to this city, l am
simply on my way to bingham, Mass, to
attend to some private matters"
When asked what the ultimate destination
of the Oregon and the Iowa were. he said:
These war ships have been ordered to
Honolulu
will they go from there to Manila?'
The secretary reflected a moment and
said: Yes, they may go to Manila. You
see, we robbed the Pacific squadron of two
vessels, and it is no more than just that
We return them again after we have got
through with Them
In talking on the subject of the new YES
sells, he said: Congress at it's next session
may see the advisability of an increase in
the number of war vessels. The three that
have been awarded to Cramps the Norfolk
yard and the Union iron works, of San
Francisco, will be formidable vessels. They
will have an increased coal capacity in
creased speed and increased tonnage. This
has been one of the results of the observa-
lions from the war"

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.-Paymaster
General Stanton has turned over to the
President all the papers relating to the re-
cent unpleasantness growing out of the re-
fusal of a Texas regiment to receive pay
from Major Lynch because he is colored.
The President has taken no definite action
beyond expressing approval of General
Stanton's course in sending a sharp dispatch
to the commanding paymaster of that de-
partment stating in effect that as Major
Lynch had been regularly commissioned by
the President as army paymaster, the
troops must take their pay from him or
stands. with the papers before the Presi-
dent. There is the possibility that a new
question may arise the point of insub-
ordination in refusing 10 receive pay from
paymasters regularly commissioned to make
payments.
