NOT YET IN SESSION.
CUBAN ASSEMBLY so FAR WITHOUT
A QUORUM.
WILL NOT OPPOSE OUR POLICY.
II II Expected to Act I'm Harmony
with the United states Govern
ment-Annexation Not to he Con-


WASHINGTON, ID. c., November e.
President Maso, of the provisional Cuban
government, has cabed from Santa Cruz
del Sur to Senior Quesada, Of the Cuban
legation here, saying: Assembly has not
yet met, owing to the absence OF
quorum
This was called out by an enquiry from
Senior Quesada as to reports coming by
the way of Santiago representing TIE
Cuban Assembly as in session at Santa
Cruz del Sur, and engaged in discussing
important questions relating to the future
Of the island and the disarmament of the
Cuban army.
1t was stated that the Assembly had
organized by choosing General Garcia as
presiding officer, thus indicating that the
military element under General Garcia
would dominate the Assembly. Senior
Quesada was considerably surprised at
these reports, as he was likely to be
notified Of the assembling Of the Cuban
Assembly, particularly as he had been
chosen a member of the Assembly, repre-
senting one Of the districts of the i'm
accordingly asked President Maso for in
formation, and the foregoing was re-
ceiyed.
WILL NOT ANTAGONIZE US.
There is evidence that the action of the
Cuban Government will not be antagonis-
tic to the policy of the United States,
but rather in sympathy with that gov
eminent. Senior Quesada is satisfied that
this will be the course of the Cuban AS
sembly, when Il begins work, and II IS
probable that he made this view known
during recent interview with Secretary
Hay. at the State Department.
In the event Of his leaving Washington
to attend the Assembly at Santa Cruz del
Sur, IT will be with the special purpose
of securing cooperation between the au-
thorities there and here, and of overcom-
ing frictions which may arise
ONLY THE FIRST STEP.
Speaking of the Cuban Assembly, Mr..
Quesada said: ut is only the first step
towards reorganization and a constitu-
tional form OF government. and will give
way later to an assembly truly repre-
sentative of all the people OF Cuba. For
the present, President Maso has called
together this body, which is necessarily
crude, from the unsettled condition of
affairs I'm Cuba. II is, however, not a mill
tary assembly, only eight or ten members
out of 48l bearing military rank. The
others are from civil life-doctors law
yers, and planters, and represent the best
elements In the community. This assem-
bly, will form legislature, but will pro-
vide for constitutional convention.
which will take up the important work of
framing constitution and forming a per-
manent government for the island.
ANNEXATION NOT YET.
With this programme in view, 1t is
hardly expected that the question of an
nexing Cuba to the United States will
assume large proportions for the present,
but will remain In allegiance until the
Cuban Government is sufficiently well es-
tablished to permit 1t to ascertain and
express the wishes Of the people of Cuba
on the question OF annexation.

Our little daughter now fifteen months old,
was troubled from her birth with Eczema.
Her face, arms, hands, and neck would break
out with red pimples, the parts afflicted
would swell and become terribly infamed,
water would oozc out like great beads Of per-

skin would crack and peel of. She suffered

two OF our leading physicians good trial,
but neither Of them helped her in the least
purchased CUTIcURA SOAP, CUTICuRA (oint-

menced using them as follows: After bath
ing wiped her with soft linen cloth, applied
CurIouRA (ointment) freely, and gave her the
REsoLvENT regularly. She improved at once
and ia now never troubled, although we have
used less than one bottle Of REsoLvENT, three
boxes Of SALvE, and OF course CUTIcURA

A SHAM BATTLE.
A Fine Spectacle at Chimborazo
Park Yesterday Afternoon.

A sham-battle, participated in by Com
pany b. Company l, and Company NJ, of
the Second Regiment, around the spring
at Chimborazo Park yesterday afternoon,
was witnessed by large crowd Of spec
tators. and the scene Of the boys march
ing and firing was greatly enjoyed.
The battalion was under Captain Bos-
sieux The third section Of Company Il,
under Lieutenant Toney Miller, was sta
toned in the woods above the spring
The attacking party was composed OF the
rest of the company and the other two
companies. Lieutenants Duesberry and
Gary commanded on the firing line.
The boys went about the work OF dis
lodging the enemy in the most business
like manner. Scouts and shrmishers
were deployed under Lieutenant Gary, or
Company NJ, and there was brisk skir-
mish firing at first, followed by the
heavier roll of the musketry OF the re-
serves. under Captain Russell and Lieu
tenant Fairlamb.
Then came the charge up the hill, which
was very exciting, as was the rapid
firing on the crest. The attacking party
claim they captured the hill. Twenty
five rounds OF ammunition were fired.
These companies. which are among the
very best in the Second Regiment, never
showed to better advantage their eff
cheney. Their drill is little short Of per-
lection.
The battalion was photographed on the
field

THANKSGIVING.
Thanksgiving.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, November q
The United States transport Port Victor
was to have left to-day at noon for the
United States with number OF SICK
officers and men. Fortunately, just before
the hour fixed for her departure General
Leonard Wood, Military Governor OF the
Department of Santiago, went on board.
TO his amazement he found no provisions
especially suitable Tor sick persons, an
entire lack Of delicacies, and an insuih-
cheney of medical supplies.
General Wood declares that hereafter
he will pay a personal visit TO every trans
port before ii leaves the harbor. lie
thinks it very strange that after the eX-
perience had here in this line, the Medi-
cal Department is not able TO manage its
affairs better. and that personal super
vision on the part of the commanding gen
eral should be necessary.
RED CROSS TO THE RESCUE.
Major Starr, inspector-general Of the
department, is on a furlough of thirty
days Colonel Wiley, Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, is sick with malaria, but General
Wood was fully equa, to the emergency.
He had the vessel supplied in short order
with Red Cross stores, and with an ade-
Quate quantity of provisions, and the
transport left the harbor in time to pass
Moro Castle before SHUTDOWN.
The Port Victor should reach New York
city on Monday next, as she is fast
boat.
THE JOSEFIT SAFE.
The steamer Josefit, about which some
anxiety was felt arrived here to-day
from Manzahilo, fOrty-five hours late.
She encountered hurricane and was
obliged to cast anchor off Cape Cruz.
General Wood is preparing a Thanks
giving proclamation, being of the opinion
that the Cubans ought to give thanks
for the blessings they have received.
The Americans want to keep the day in
old-fashioned style. and are writing to
their friends in the North to send on
turkeys.
The custom house receipts at the port
Of Santiago for october aggregated $780,
900.
THE CUBAN ASSEMBLY.
The steamer Josefit, which leaves to-
night, will call at Santa Cruz del Sur 10
embark the delegates Of the Cuban mill
tary assembly, who have decided 10 hold
subsequent sessions of that body at
Maria-ao. the Habana suburb. The mill
tary element in the assembly has COM
pletely overwhelmed the civil element,
and is now in control of everything.
The United States transport Mortera,
Captain Faircloth, which left New YORK
October 31st, arrived to-day with the
United States mails, the first received In
two weeks. The vessel will now be re-
turned to her owners.

Major Price last night received n tele-
gram from Acknowledgement Corbin stat
ing the Third Regiment was to be muster
ed out Saturday.
Major Price will probably have the regi-
ment paraded by battalions and mustered
out in this way. The muster-out will
most probably take place in the old Au-
ditor's office at the Capitol. the men go
ing in by companies and receiving their
pay and discharges, the latter having
been already made out Major Price
thinks II probable that two paymasters
will be sent to pay off the regiment, In
order to expedite matters. At any rate,
It can be done in one day.
1T is NOT a JOKE.
Though the men pretend to make joke
of the long delay in mastering them out,
IL has really become with them very
serious matter. They are without money.
They have now been here nearly two
months. They had little or no money
when they came. 1t Is all gone now.
They have nothing to do. Their quarters
in the old Exchange have become-wen,
say far from attractive. 1t would not be
proper 10 say the atmosphere In the
building could be sliced with a knife. SO
FAR as known nobody has tried 1t. There
is not now as much complaint regarding
the fare as formerly. Still, nobody com
pares the cuisine to that OF the Jefferson.
The men are becoming rather used 10
sleeping OH the floor with nothing but
blanket under them. They have not for
gotten, however, the soft country fea-
Their beds TO which they were used at
home. They still swear they do not re-
member ever rising from one of these

feeling Of being in a mlsfit world. They
had hoped to eat Thanksgiving dinner at
home. They now hope to be with the
old folks on Christmas-Day. They are
not gambling on 1t.
THE DELAY DUE TO WASHINGTON.
it is proper to state that the muster
out officer, Major Price, has done every
thing in his power TO hasten the work or

and a considerable portion of every night,
at his office hard at work while the rolls
were being prepared, but there Is now
nothing he can do to hasten the coming
OF the glad day when the men will get
their pay and start homeward. Pay Is
the wish. Wait is the word.
