AWAITING AN OPINION.
Hnrries' Military Status an Open
Question.

question.
The question of the military status OF
Col. George Harries of the First Regi-
ment. District OF Columbia Volunteers, has
been referred to Attorney General Griggs
for an opinion and is, therefore. not set
tied, as has been stated in certain pa
pers.
1t will be remembered that when Col.
Harries was in Cuba with the District
regiment Judge Advocate General Lieb-
er rendered an opinion, holding that Col.
Harries had abandoned his position as
commander of the District National
Guard by accepting a colonelcy of yolun-
teers.
Now that Col. Harries has returned
and will soon leave the volunteer service.
the question has again been raised at
the War Department as to the status of
the colonel. 1t has been asserted that the
mere fact of Harries accepting volun-
teer officers commission did not deprive
him of the command of the District
guard, and it was even asserted that the
War Department had recognized him as
general of the District National Guard.
That such is not the case is proven by
the fact that the War Department, to
determine the status of Col. Harries,
has referred the matter to the Attorney
General for an opinion.
1t was said at the office of Attorney
General Griggs yesterday that the opin-
ion was being prepared, and that 1t would
probably be submitted to the Secretary
of War today or tomorrow

TROOPS TO OCCUPY CUBA
One Regiment of Immunes Or
dered TO ManZanlllO.
PROGRESS OF EVACUATION
The Garrison Forces Being Ready to
LeaVe. the Spanish Authorities
Notify the American Military Conn
missioners and Request That
American Soldiers he Sent to Take
poSseSsicn.

The first order for the movement Of
United States troops looking to the oceu-
patton of Cuba by our forces was issued
yesterday afternoon. 1t directs the
Fourth United States Volunteer Regiment,
composed of immunes and recruited in
Virginia, the Carolinas and the District
of Columbia, to proceed to Manzanillo and
report to Mai. Gen. Wade.
The American Commissioners at Ha-
vana were notified yesterday by the Span
ish authorities that ManzaniIlo was be-
ing evacuated by the Spanish garrison.
This notification was accompanied by the
request that a force of American troops
be sent to that place to take charge after
evacust4an.
This formation was promptly trans
mitted 10 the War Department by Gen.
Wade, with the result that the following
order was issued by Adjt. Gen. Corbin:
by direction Of the Secretary of War,
the Fourth United States Volunteer In
fantry dmniunes) will be placed in readi-
ness for immediate service in Cuba, pur-
suant 10 general orders No. 154, current
series. They win proceed, fully armed
and equipped, to take station at Man
zanillo, the commanding officer reporting
his arrival by telegraph to Maj Gen.
James F. Wade, United States Volun-
teers. at Havana, who will give instruc-
tions as to its duty and disposition.
The quartermaster general will furnish
the necessary transportation. The sub
sistence department will provide suitable
rations, and the surgeon general will
make ample provision for the necessary
medical attendance and supplies for the
troops en- route and after their arrival
This order indicates that the immune
regiments will be the first bodies OF
troops TO be sent TO Cuba to form the ar
mics of occupation. Owing to the pecu-
liar conditions in that island regarding
yellow, malarial, and typhoid feyers, it is
believed that all Of the immunes will be
sent 10 Cuba and that the armies of occu-
patton for Porto Rico and the Philippine:
viii be made up of regulars and volun
1eers.
An army officer at the War Department
gave it as his opinion last night that th'
evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish sol
aiery would now be carried on as rapid!
as possible, and American troops woul'
be sent there steadily to take theil
Wees.
The occupation of Cuba, outside of th'
zone in Santiago province surrendered b,
Gen. Toral, will be initiated at Mama
milo, on the south coast, which is not fa
from Santiago. Gen. Lawton, the mill
fary governor of the surrendered zone
has been instructed to send three com
panies of infantry there on October Z
when the Spanish forces viii have EN-
barked or gone to another place to EN-
bark for Spain.
The military authorities here looked int
the subject carefully and decided tina
three companies would be sufficient 4
preserve order at Manzanillo.

A SCANDAL OF THE BIG FIGHT.
COrbett and Mccoy Were to Have
Divided the Purse Equally

New York, Sept. 29-The kick which
Jim Corbett says was administered TO
him by Kid Mccoy in their encounter
at the Gilsey House yesterday is having
more painful results than at first sup
posed. Corbett was still confined 10 bed
today and is likely to remain there for
some days TO come.
There seems to be little doubt that the
ex-champiOn was kicked by someone The
mark clearly shows that He said today
that he intended to let Mccoy go his way
in the future and would not molest him If
he ever came across him on the street.
Its no use of fighting for glory said
Jim, when We can get a club and money
in it
Considine, who was present, then made
the startling declaration that Corbett and
Mccoy were TO have divided the $1,000
purse equally, and showed articles OF
agreement to this effect They bear the
signatures of Billy Gray for Mccoy,
Dave ]. Nugent for the Hawthorne Club
and Considine for COrbetJ. The appended
clause in the papers covers the point:
In consideration of the fulfIlment OF
this agreement by the parties of the sec
ond part, the party of the first part here
by agrees to pay to the party of the sec
ond Part the sum of 81, 600. TO be divided
equally between said parties OF the sec
ond part
COnsidine further said:
'Corbett viii be ready TO box Mccoy on
October Is at the Hawthorne Athletic
Club, but will insist on the winner taking
all and barring the picture privilege We
will not box under any other cireum-
stances"
When Billy Gray. McCoy's manager,
was seen in reference to this. he said:
'Corbett is telling falsehood If he
says Mccoy insisted on division of the
purse II was Corbett who wanted this
and we agreed. But We were not TO be
fooled Mccoy will fight him at Buffalo
on October IS, the winner to take all I
have the articles in my possession and
signed by Corbett to this effect will not
| say anything at present about the pietura
