Washington, Sept 23.-It is stated
that the war department has received
no detailed reports or any information
from the Cuban military commission
at Havana. In reply to the question
as to whether there was any DISPOSE
ton 10 accede TO the request of the
SpaniardS for a pOstponement of the
evacuation of Cuba until some time
next spring. the statement was made
that no delay would be considered:
that the evacuation must proceed with
expedition. and that the troops of the
United States were now being put in
readiness for the occupation of Cuba,
and would be sent there. No definite
date has been fixed for their departure.
Official dispatches received by one
or the embassies here from Havana
confirm the reports that the colonial
government Of the island is taking 4
hand in shaping the terms on which
the evacuation shall be executed.
This, il is believed here, may de-
yelop some new phases in the situa-
ton in Cuba.
The colonial, or autonomist, admin
istration is very thoroughly organized
and can exert much influence. 1t es-
established regular legation in Wash
ington prior to the war. with several
prominent public men of Havana on
the staff. 1t numbers in it's ranks
much OF the wealth Of Cuba and
claims TO stand for the educated
classes against the insurgents and
illitcrates. This makes two distinct
Cuban classes: The autonOmists. who
are cooperating with Spain, and the
insurgents. who are opposed 30 Spain.
The opinion was expressed by Il
high diplomatic officer, based on recent
adviceS from Havana, that a serious
issue would be averted and that the
actual evacuation Of the Spanish
troops from Cuba would begin within
the next month. But 1t appears that
the evacuation will cover "A much
longer time than has been anticipated.
There are some 100000 Spanish troops
in the island. Allowing 1000 men on
a transport, and a vessel leaving every
day for 100 consecutive days, so that
the time for departure would probably
far exceed six months.
