He Will be accompanied by his son,
Colonel Carlos Garcia. and by a few Of
his oeiCcrs. on his return he will go to
the United States with General Wood to
confer with the authorities in Wash

General Garcia's appointment has not
yet been made public here, but when it
is it viii give another cause for attack
TO the extreme party of Cubans, who
looked on the appointment of General
Castillo In the light Of the United States
buying up patriots with offices.
This seems a farcical position to take
after the first cry mo Cubans ap-
pointed in place of the Spaniards."
In consequence of serious disorders
due to the insurgents in the vicinity of
Manzanillo General Lawton is dispatch
ing thither the steamer Reina de los
Angeles with one battalion Of four COM

PEACE COMMISSION.
Adjournment to Let Spanish
Members Consult Madrid.
IMPORTANT SESSION YESTERDAY.
The Philippine Question brought UD,
Which Necessitated Adjournment.
sDnninrds Hope Merritt VIII Ad-
wise Against Retaining Islands.

PARIS. oct. 4.-Yesterday's session Of
the peace commission lasted until 4
o'clock, at which hour the commission
crs adjourned to meet at o'clock next
Friday afternoon. such interval being
desirable and necessary to allow sepa-
rate consideration by each commission
Of matters requiring such course before
the joint commission The interval viii
be thus filled with work by each COM
mission. tbs ultimate results being so
facilitated
The secretary of the Spanish commits
sion arrived last night. The interval
viii be employed by the secretaries
jointly In maturing plans for the work
and procedure.
While the American commissioners
were at luncheon yesterday, General
Merritt called at their hotel, but he did
not wait to see them. He will call
again today to meet the members Of the
commission.
The Spanish and American commits
sioners viii be received today by Presi-
dent Faure. The hour fixed for the re-
ception of the Americans Is 4:45 o'clock
in the afternoon. General Merritt win
accompany the Americans to this func-
ton, which win be held at the Palais
de lGlysee.
The opinion is now held that the work
Of the commissions may be finished
within a month from the present time.
While it is the general impression
that yesterdays meeting was again de-
voted to prelimnaries and that the ad-
journment to Friday was taken only TO
enable the secretaries to draw up a
schedule of work IL is learned that the
session was highly important and that
the Americans have made a demand Of
such character that the Spaniards
found il necessary to ask for an ad
journment in order to enable them to
consult with the government at Madrid.
1t is believed that the question con-
Germs the Philippines and 1t Is known
that the Americans are highly pleased
at having so soon reached what they
consider a very important phase of the
negotiations and consider the two ses-
sl6ns thus far held as very satisfactory
to America.
The fact that a member of the COM
mission expressed the belief that the
work would be completed within a
month indicates a happy frame of mind.
In the Spanish camp great hopes are
built on what they believe General Mer-
ritt will advise-namely, that the Phil
ippines are incapable of self govern
mont and that the whole situation does
not warrant America I'm taking the re-
sponslbility for the entire Philippines
The Spaniards are quite ready to give
whatever America asks in the way Of
coaling stations. but will resist more
to the verge Of renewal Of hostilities.
