WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.--Graduall y
the frame work of government for
the civil administration of aft irs in
Cuba. Porto Rico and such portions of
the Philippines as this government con-
trolls, is being formed. The dew elop-
ment of this plan of internal admins
tration occupied much of the attention
of the cabinet yesterday, and later Sec
rotary Gage, Attorney General Griggs.
Postmaster General Smith and Acting
Secretary of State Moore held two
hours conference at the state depart
ment, going over the infinite detail OF
establishing civil administration.
General Corbin was present part of the
time. AT the outset the military auth
critics will be in charge of all admins
trative affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and
other acquired possessions.
But the military forces can do little
more than direct the orderly execution
of offairs. The carrying on of postal
communication, the collection of Gu
toms, etc., are civil functions which
will be taken in hand by the appropll
ate bureaus here, the entire work being
under the protection of the military
authorities. The result of the confer
y
through the various departments. AL
ready steps have been taken TO restore
mail communication between this coun-
try and Cuba. but the plans now under
consideration are likely to take in the
question of handling mail inside of
Cuba. Porto Rico and other points. A
mail steamer is expected to leave New
York today carrying the first lot of mail
to Cuba which has left New York since
the war began. The Spanish govern.
ment has been quite solicitous as to the
method of administering affairs in the
Antilles, owing to the large Spanish in
terests remaining there
The French ambassador has received
a number of inquiries in this line, and
these have been laid before the state
department After the conference held
there yesterday afternoon, M. Thiebaut
of the French embassy called and was
made acquainted with the general plans
of this government in restoring a stable
administration throughout the Spanish
West Indies. The French ambassador
has also been advised by the state de-
partment of it's selection of military
commissions to meet at Havana and
San Juan. The names of these COM
missioners has been awaited at Madrid,
as it is the purpose there to appoint
commissioners OF the same rank as
those named by the United States.
The president yesterday appointed
the two commissions to adjust the
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico
They follow:
For Cuba-Major General James T.
Wade, Rear Admiral William T. Samp-
son and Major General Matthew G.
Butler
For Porto Rico-Major General John
r. Brooke, Rear Admiral Winfield S.
Schley and Brigadier General William

Spanish Residents Said to BE Adapting
Themselves to the Situation.

HAVANA, Aug. 1.-THE city remains
entirely tranquil. Everybody has re-
sumed his duties and all are thinking
only OF how to recover something OF
what has been lost.

Spanish residents, realize not only the
expedlency but the necessity of such
steps as will save the social interests of
the island, avoid future instructions
and prevent a complete annihilation OF
the wealth partially saved from revolu-
ton and war There is no agitation.
