but from another officer Of the depart
ment who Is acquainted with the stu.

does not suggest that troops be sent
at once, but that he does urgently
advise that the government be pre-.
pared to act promptly, as the situation
may 60 beyond the control of the pres

with the presentintention Of the Amer

This will result in the abandonment
Of the camps at Middletown, Pa, Lex.

southern camps are to be laid out in
the best form, with all the improve
ments that the experience Of the last
summer has dictated. Wherever per-
manent buildings will conduce to the
comfort and health Of the troops they
must be erected, although the CON-
handing officers are to keep in mind
at all times the propriety Of avoiding
enervation of the men by keeping
them too closely indoors and away

Maj Gen. Fitzhugh Lee received an
order from the war department yester-
day directing him to move his COM

THE SPANIARDs MUST GET OUT.
Washington, Oct. S.-President Nc
Kinley has cabled the United States
military commission at Porto Rico that
the island must be evacuated by the
Spanish forces on or before October
IS. and that the Spanish commission
ers be so informed. In case of the
failure of the Spaniards to complete
the evacuation by that date the United
States commissioners are directed to
take possession Of and exercise all of
the functions of government, and in
case 1t is found to be impossible to Sc.
cure transportation for the Span.
ish troops by October Is they may
be permitted to 90 into temporary
quarters until transports can be Sc
cured to take them to Spain. The
president has notified the United States
evacuation commission at Havana that
the Spaniards would be expected to
have evacuated the island by December
/, with strong intimation that in
case Of failure the United States would
brook no further delay, but imme-
diately thereafter take possession Of
the government.

THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
Gen. Blanco said to BE Losing Control Of
His Officers and Men In Havana
Wade'a Communication.

Washington, Oct IA cablegram
came yesterday from Gen. Wade, chair
man of the American commission at
Havana, briefly outlining the condi-
tions in Cuba, and wound up with the
statement that full report was on
the way by mail. The reason Gen. Wade
anticipated his complete report is
because the conditions have changed
SO rapidly in the past few days that
he thought the government should be
made acquainted with the more i'm
portant features before the whole facts
would be communicated by mail.
When Secretary Alger received the
communication he went at once to the
white house with it and had con.
sultation with the president and Sec.
rotary Hay. Some brief instructions
were sent to Gen. Wade, but final ac-
ton will be postponed until the mailed
report arrives Saturday.
1t is believed that the communica'
ton deals with the plan Of the admin
istration to not send many troops to
Cuba until all danger Of fever has
passed. Gen. Wade, 1t is thought
points out that the existing govern.
ment in Havana and other places is
rapidly going to pieces. Blanco's au-
thority is not respected and he is
losing control Of his officers and
soldiers. The administration has
been inclined to tolerate the pro.
crastinatiop Of the Spanish commits.

Plans for the Departure Of Troops

SIXTH MISSOURI ORDERED TO co.

the Troops Ordered to Cuba-The Span
ish Evacuation of Cuba and Porto
Rico to BE Pushed.

Washington, Oct. s.-The war de.
partment has completed plans for the
departure of the second expedition of
troops to garrison Cuba. The first d.
vision is already under orders and
should be started within a very few
days from the southern ports near
their camping grounds The First d.
vision starts under command of Brig.
Gen. Carpenter, who commands the
cavalry brigade, composed of the
Seventh and Eighth United States cav
airy. He will hold his command Of
the entire division simply by reason of
seniority over Brig. Gen. Snider and
Brig. Gen. Williston, and in the end a
permanent designation must be made
OF a division commander 1t is the In
tention Of the war department that
Maj Gen. Wade, now president of the
military evacuation commission, shall
command the entire force Of United
States troops assigned to duty in Cuba,
but he will scarcely take active com.
mand until he has completed his duties
with the commission.
The Second division will comprise
all the troops now under the command
Of Maj Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. These
troops are stationed at Jacksonville,
and the force comprises the following
regiments, all volunteer troops: Sec
ond, Fourth and Ninth Illinois infan.
try, One Hundred and Sixty-first In.
diana infantry, Second Louisiana in
fantry, Sixth Missouri infantry, Third
Nebraska infantry organs regiment),
First North Carolina infantry, Second
South Carolina infantry, First Texas
infantry, Fourth Virginia infantry
and the Second volunteer cavalry
The general orders which will be is
sued to this division are to begin the
movement the last Of this month, or as
soon thereafter as practicable. The
indications are. based on the proceed
ings of the military commission at Ha-
vana, that the troops will be sent not
in body, but in small regimental and
brigade commands, and that these
will be landed first on the western
coast and perhaps in part on the south,
probably at Batabano. The animating
purpose is to reduce the chances Of
hostile clashing between the retiring
Spanish troops and the incoming Amer.
lean forces by keeping back the latter
until the Spaniards have been deported.
About the time Of the movement Of
the Lee command begins, another
movement will take place Of troops

met Brown coming out with his arms
full of goods. Brown dropped the goods
and threw a heavy pick at Campbell
The officer lodged the pick and then
Brown seized a heavy iron rod and
raised it to strike the officer Camp
bell knocked Brown down with his club
and secured him before he could get up
After being knocked down Brown made
no further resistance but allowed him
self to be taken to the police station
where he confessed to the burglary and
said he had made two trips from the
store to the old Curtis house where he
lives and that the stolen goods were
there The officers searched the house
and found three double barreled shot
guns, two revolvers, six watches, six
powder flask, a watch chain and sew
eral other things of less value.
Frank Brown is the young man that
was struck on the head during the feS-
tival of 1897 and who has been arrested
for stealing and for forgery several
times since He was at one time ad-
judged insane and sent to the insane
he was tried for forgery in Arkansas
City but was acquitted.
He has been turned over to the state
for trial. The wound on his head made
by the officers club is not dangerous.
He is evidently not fit to be at large,
and should be sent up either to the
penitentiary or the insane asylum.

DOWN FROM A BALLOON.
Two Aeronauts Descend by Means of
q Rome.

London, Nov. 25-Arthur Williams. the
aeronaut, and Sydney Darby had a thrill
ing balloon adventure yesterday which
may prove fatal in the case of Darby.
They had been waiting some weeks for a
favorable wind to make attempt to
cross to France by balloon Yesterday
they ascended from South London. The
day was stormy, and when 5000 feet had
been reached the air currents drove them
in the wrong direction. They tried the
lower air currents without success and
were in imminent danger of being driven
Williams gave the following narrative

balloon was travelling at the rate of over
pling iron to check the speed. The trail
trailing along the ground and we were
shooting towards the sea at an alarming

willing to follow me?' He replied that he

With my weight off the balloon shot up
again in a moment.
During this time Darby's position was
most terrible one, and the rope was fifty
feet from the ground. He was a little
more than half way down. Without
second to decide whether he should leave

to sea he did absolutely the only thing
possible, and if he had delayed doing 50
only for a fraction of a second he would
soon be hanging thousand feet in the
air. To climb back to the car was i'm
possible. With great Quickness of thought
he released his grip, keeping his hands
about the rope. He shot down like light

the friction, but fortunately he fell on
