whereupon the steward tasted spoon
full of the soup and fell dead. Eleven
Franciscan friars are alleged TO have

MADRID, Sept. 19.-There is much in
dignation here at the fact that there
were 1913 deaths during the voyage
among the 1000 Spanish soldiers who
have just arrived in Spain on board the
Spanish transport San lgnacia de 10y
ala, from Santiago de Cuba. The Span
iards attribute this heavy death rate te
the 'inhumanity Of the Americans in
obliging the sick Spaniards to embark
and make room In the hospitals for the
Americans"

The regular time for the Supreme
Court to resume its sittings is October

some delay this year on account of the

Garrisons for Cuba VIII Move within Two
Weeks. and Rapidly.

Weeks, and Rapidly.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-lt is the pres
ent intention of the administration to
send to Cuba, as Il garrison force for
the island, about 40, 900 troops, in addi-
ton to the force now in Santiago under
command of Gen. Lawton.
The organizations which are to com
prise the Cuban garrison have not all
been designated yet, but it is assured
that at least half of them will be volun-
teers.
Within two weeks orders will be is
sued for the movement to Cuba of the
| first 10000 of the permanent garrison,
and it is the expectation now that they
| will sail from the United States about
October 10. These troops will be fol-
lowed quickly by others until the entire
| force of 20, 900 has been established on
the island
| 1t is not the intention of the admins
tration to await the evacuation of the
island by the Spanish forces before
sending United States troops to Cuba,
as the indications now are that it may
be several months before the Cuban
commissioners complete their work
Quite naturally considerable number
of Spanish troops will remain on the
island until the arrangements for tht
REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish sovereignty
over it formally have been concluded.
The rainy season in Cuba is nearly a
an end, and the most delightful season
of the year on the island is about to be
gin. During the late fall and winte
months the climate in Cuba is not onl,
ENJOYABLE, but healthful, and with sucl
care as will be taken for the health ant
comfort of the American forces to b
stationed in Cuba, the officials of tn
war department have no fear that SER
Gus illness among the men will folio,
