DEPARTURE IS UNCERTAIN.
But Gen. Lees Corps Will Surely Be in Cuba
by New Years Day.

Washington, Oct. 30.-No definite de-
termination has been reached as to the
date when the troops now at Savannah
will be sent to Cuba. A prominent
administration official said, tonight.
that the departure of Gen. Lees corps
would be dependent, to a certain eX-
tent, upon the movements of the Span
ish forces in evacuating the city. The
American troops he said, might sail
this week and they may not sail for
month. 1t is the intention of the adj
ministration, however, to land Gen.
Lees corps in Cuba before the first of
January.
That date has been fixed definitely
as the time for the final evacuation of
the island by the Spaniards. An effort
was made by the Spanish authorities
to obtain an extension of the time Of
evacuation until the first of February
but the proposition was declined by
the American commissioners.
Gen. Lee came to Washington from
Richmond, last night but remained
only until an early train, this morning.
His business was purely private and he
called upon no war department Off
Gals. Important orders will be sent to
him. early tbs week, relating to the
movement of his corps but as yet the
war department has not disclosed their

H0BSON AT WASHINGTON.
Explains Plans for and Expense OF Raising
the Spanish Warships.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Naval Con-
structor Hobson arrived in this city,
yesterday from Philadelphia. where he
took part in the peace jubilee.
In the afternoon he appeared before
the board of naval bureau chiefs for
the purpose of explaining the condi-
ton of the Spanish ships wrecked off
the coast of Santiago and the progress
of work and the prospects for their
recovery. 1t is said that over 1000.
900 viii be required to continue the
operations, and the secretary of the
navy desires to know what chance
there is of success before authorizing
the expenditure of so large an amount
of money.
The action of the department will be
based upon the report Of the board of
bureau chiefs after the examination of
Naval Constructor Hobson.
Constructor Hobson was with the
board all the afternoon and gave a
great deal of detailed information as to
the condition of the wrecks. He was
of the opinion that it was useless to
continue the Wrecking Co.. any longer
and that results Gid not warrant the
$500 per day it is receiving.
Constructor Hobson said that in his
opinion the Colon and the vizcaya
could be raised and brought to dry
docks at New York or Norfolk at "A
cost of 100000 for one and s400, 900 for
the other, and possibly both could b.

SIGN WAVE TElEGRAPHY.
Important Discoveries Regarding the System
by Two Volunteer Officers.

Washington, Oct. 30.-One point IN
the annual report of Gen. Greeley, has
escaped public attention, owing to its
disconnection with the late war. 1t
relates to the discoveries of two young
physicists, Prof. A. c. Crehore and
Lieut.. Col. George Q. Squire. volunteer
officers, who have lately pursued under
the direction of the chief signal officer
of the army, certain scientific invests
cations that promise to work revoiu-
ton in methods of ocean telegraphy .
Gen. Greeley expresses his belief that
these discoveries or inventions have as
suined such form and phase as to be OF
the greatest value to the commercial
world.
The discoveries outline the true
scientific method of biography known
as the sign wave system. Gen. Greeley
says he has no hesitation in express
ing his opinion that the sign wave sys-
tenn which also admits of easy duplex
ing, will. within a year or two. increase
very materially the working capacity
of every cable to which it is applied.

A CURIOUS DILEMMA.
Ministers Of War. Lieut.. Col. Henry and En-.
peror william All Mixed Up.

London, Oct. 31.-The Paris corrcsnon-
dent Of the Times, pointing out thai !
curious dilemma has now developed n,
the Dreyfus affair, says:
IF the secret dossier is now communi
Gated to the court OF cessation, it is con-
ceivable that II may incriminate Dreyfl,s
but 1t will certainly convict Gen. MERCER
the minister of war at the time OF the
conviction of Dreyfus, Of criminal yio-
lation Of law in communicating to the
courtmartial documents that were COM
municated to Dreyfus and his counsel. il
Is said that In order to shield Gen Mer-
cier, who acted thus, owing to his weak
ness or his ignorance, all subsequent min
listers of war have adopted an obstinate
attitude.
IF, on the other hand, there has never
been secret dossier, the whole case
rests on the bordereau and must fall to
the ground. How, then. since Lieut. Col.
Henry's admission of forgery. could the
generals still have declared Dreyfus
guilty?
THE allegation that the dossier, if
there is one, contains letter from EN-
peror William to Col Scharzkoppen Ger
man military attache at Paris, is utterly
improbable in view of the Emperor's
Character and habits. He could never
have written to a military attache."
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News says the decision Of the court OF
cessation, Saturday, was given by vote
of s against 4.

SUNDAY CABINET MEETING.
President Believes that Peace Negotiations
Will Have an Early Termination.

Washington. Oct. 30-An informal ses-
sion of the cabinet was held. tonight, at
the White House. The President en-
braced the opportunity afforded by the
presence of several members of the cab
met to discuss with them their forth
coming annual reports.
The peace negotiations at Paris were
referred to but were not seriously con-
si6ered, it is understood. This statement
is borne out by the fact that Secretary OF
State Hay was not party to the con-
ference
1t is said that very new developments
in the Paris situation have arisen during
the past So hours. The President is said
to believe that the negotiations will be
brought to a satisfactory conclusion
sooner, perhaps, than is generally ex-
pected.
The President, Sec. Alger and Adjt
Gen. Corbin had an extended conference.
Saturday. the principal topic under con-
sideration being the occupation of Cuba.
There is no disposition to change the
date, Jan, l. fixed for the assumption OF
control by the United States.

to 100000 on the two vessels. He said
the hull of the Vizcaya was intact and
he proposed to build Golfer dam
around her and bring her to the sur
face after making repairs necessary TO
float her.
Mr.. Hobson also gave the bureau
chiefs information concerning the Reina
Mercedes and the Merrimac. The for
mer could be easily raised, he believed,
for it was apparent that she had been
only scuttled. The Merrmac could be
raised, and he said she must be re-
moved from the mouth of the harbor
in some way. The board will have an
other meeting on Monday and possibly
make some recommendation to the
secretary regarding the wrecks off San
tiagO.
