be cremated over 200 were burned so
far Yesterday afternoon 20 We're to
be burned. over two rails a dozen
bodies are stretched, across them an
other dozen. and then about 30 corpses
are stacked in an immense funeral pile
ten high. The pile is then saturated
with kerosene and the torch applied.
A fall of rain put out the fire. caus-
ing the bodies to be only half burned.
The unconsumed bodies We're left upon
the earth until TO-DAY. when better
weather helped the work Of cremation.
Around the pile yesterday lay y
collins containing corpses in a state Of
decomposition Several naked bodies
were strewn upon the ground in a
state Of putrefaction. Altogether about
10 unburned and unconsumed bodies
lay around. The stencil was terrible.
This happened at a cemetery within
the city limits. The authorities and the
cemetery officials say it is impossible
to get men to work at the cremation
Wages Of 81 a day prove no inducement
to the natives to work at this gruesome
toll.
These 20 corpses represent two days
dead from the Spanish camp. The
danger to the population from the
stencil. the presence of the buzzards,
vultures and flies is incalculable.

who WIN Restore order in Cuba and
Porto Rico.
Washington, Aug. 16.--Today's Post
says The announcement of the per-
sonnet of the military commissions for
Cuba and Porto Rico may now be ex-
pected at any time. The president has
practically determined upon the mill
tary and naval officers who win com
pose the commission. 1t is probable
that the names will be as follows:
Cuban Commission. Major General
j. T. Wade Major General nj. G..
Butler and Admiral w. T. Sampson.
Porto Rico Commission.-Maj Cen
eral John r. Brooke, Major General
Theodore Schawn and Admiral Win
field S. Schley.
1t will be noticed that the name of
General F'itzhugh Lee does not appear
in the list of the Cuban commissioners.
The omission is not unintentional Gen
eral Lee was originally slated for a
place on the commission, but Will not
serve. owing to his desire to remain at
the head of his army corps. 1t is eX-
pected that this corps, the Seventh,
will eventually be sent to Cuba, and
in that event General Lee will so to the
island at it's head, preferring this po-
sition to a eommissionership.

Washington, Aug. 17.--MaJor General
Joseph Wheeler, commander Of the
cavalry division of General Skaters
army, arrived in Washington last night
from New York, accompanied by his
son, Joseph w. Wheeler, a member of
his staff. Beyond the fact that he had
been ordered by the secretary OF war
to report in Washington, General
Wheeler said he knew little about the
object OF his visit. From other sources
It was learned that the president, de-
string to consult with him, had directed
that he be ordered here.
General Wheeler is inclined to the
opinion that the trouble with the Gu

knew his destination and his escape
was prearranged. Anguish will start

Corbett, father OF James J. Corbett.
the pugilist, shot and killed his wife
at an early hour yesterday morning.
He then turned the revolver upon him
self and committed suicide. The hy-
pothesis is accepted by the family and
by the intimate acquaintance and
friends Of the household that Mr. Cor
bett was laboring under the effects Of
temporary insanity. Mrs. Corbett was
killed as she was living asleep in her
bed. So far as can be ascertained there
was not the slightest reason for the
crime, as for nearly half century the
couple have lived happily and in per-
feet contentment together.
