Now For the Colon

Washington, September 26.-Actng Secre- tary Allen has received a cablegram from Captain Goodrich of the Newark, the sen- for officer of the station at Guantanamo, confirming the press reports of the raising of the Spanish flagship, Infanta Maria Te- resa, last Saturday. The work of wrecking the ship was directly in charge of Con- structor Hobson. Now that the Teresa has been raised, he has been instructed to re- sume work on the Colon and begin opera tions towards wreekng the Mercedes, which lies within the mouth of Santiago harbor, close to the Merrimac, in smooth water and well situated for successful wrecking.
 The Taresa will be brought north, proba- ply to Norfolk, as soon as she is in condi- tion 10 undertake the voyage. The wreck CTS who have so successfully accomplished their work have earned a large sum of mon ey under the salvage law, the exact amount of which will probably be determined by an admiralty court.
 It is the present purpose or the navy de- partment to place the Teresa in commits sion as a United States naval vessel, and, following the English custom, her name is likely to remain unchanged to carry into the future the glory of the American vic- tory.

TALKS or SICKNESS AT w1KoFF
Montauk Point an Ideal Camping Place and Death Rate Might Have Been Larger-Troops Sick
 on Arriving There.

New York, September A.-Major- General full uniform, arrived at the Windsor hotel this afternoon. General Wheer is on his way to Camp Wheeler, Huntsville, Ala, where he has been ordered to take com- mand and organize six regiments of cavalry for Cuban service. Of his plans General Wheeler said:
 Tomorrow I shall probably call at the army building. On Wednesday I shall re- view the cadets at West Points. hope to be able to get away from New York to Huntsville not later than Friday. If noth- ing prevents me shall stop over one day at Washington.
 "I have orders to organize six regiments of cavalry to go to Cuba. The fifth cavalry is now at Huntsville the first cavalry has been ordered from Camp Wikoff to relieve the Eighth in Dakota, the Eighth to pro- @ba eefa tf the HNnth goes to Colorado to relieve the Seventh, the latter going to Huntsville; the Second Sixth and Tenth all at Camp Wikoff have been ordered to Huntsville dl- rect and will move just as soon as trans portaton can be arranged.
 "There are 5000 troops at Huntsville, all volunteers except the Fifth cavalry.
 10000 in the Hospital
 "We had 22,500 soldiers from Santiago at Camp Wikoff and 7,0O) from Tampa and otb thi3 nnmGpr found their way into the hospital at one time or another. The deaths up to date number 263 Of the Santiago troops fully three-fourths were ill when they reached Montauk.
 About 100 men reported daily to the doc- tors and about half this number were con- sdered sick enough to go into the hospitals and were so ordered.
 Notwithstanding these facts I believe Montauk Point an ideal camping place and do not think the government could have chosen a better place. We would have had as much illness and perhaps with greater mortality if it had not been for the beauti- full location of the camp. When I was or- dered there I found few changes to make. the chief defect being lack of nurses soon remedied this through the kindness of the Red Cross society, and kindred or- ganizations.
 "When Camp Wikoff was most popu!ous there were twenty-eight square miles of tents All the troops have been sent home except seven regiments. Five have their orders to various places, and there remains without orders only the Seventh infantry and the Second engineer corps. Camp Wi- koff will soon passed into history

SPANISH CABINES MEETS.
Commissioners Instructed to Defend
 Rights to the Philippines.

Madrid, September 26.-The cabinet this evening had under decision General Blan- co.'s dispatch concerning the American claims in connection with the evacuation of Cuba.
 Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of for- eign affairs, states that the Spanish peace commissioners have been instructed to cons tend strongly for the integrity of Spanish sovereignty in the Phil nes on the ground that the protocol between Spain and the United States was signed before Manila capitulated and also to make a firm stand regarding the Cuban debt and the Philippine loan of 1896 if Luzon Is ceded to America.
 Should the United States prove less ex- acting than 1t has been expected the com msisoners have full power to make all con- sessions, political and moral, compatible with the retention of Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines, but in the event of losing a portion of the islands they are instructed to resist to the utmost any attempt of thS United States to claim the right of province over powers should Spain desire to sell or cede the remaclder of the islands. It Is un- derstood, however, that all instructions are ad referendum. Most of the commissioners and attaches speak Engl sh.

Kingston, Jamaica, September 26-Ad- the Colombian government has decided to decline to pay the Cerruti claim on the ground that the republic is now able to produce ample evidence of Cerruti's com plicity in the political troubles that oc- cured in the country in 1876 and 1885.
 The government has directed the presi- dent to urge Italy to resubmit the case to arbitration and will, in the. event of failing in this attempt oppose force with force to the last extreme.

OTHERS USELESS WRECKS

Santiago de Cuba, September 26.-Details just received of the floating of the Spanish armored cruiser Maria Teresa show that, with the help of dynamite, she was blown off the rocks into deep water on September 23, and proceeded under her own steam some time afterwards to Guantanamo, ac- companied by one of the tugs of the Mer- rtt Wrecking company. She will leave shortly for New York
 Naval Constructor Hobson says he can raise the Spanish cruiser, Cristobal Colon, with the use of air bags in a week if gwen authority to do so. The Colon, it appears, was not seriously damaged by shells, but her valves were opened which caused her to sink
 The other two Spanish cruisers sunk in the battle of Santiago, the Almirante Opuendo and the Vizcaya, are useless wrecks of smelted iron.
 Hobson says he expects to return to New York on the Colon. General Lawton' g headquarters have been moved from the palace to the offices formerly occupied by General Toral, the Spanish commander at this place. In answer to number of small capitalists who have written here asking for information and advice as to coming to Santiago, General Wood advises them not to come here until December, as there is no facilities at present for the transfer of property. After that time there will be many opportunities for the useA br rains and capital.
 The city of Santiago Is cleaner and heal thier now than ever before in its history. No cases of yellow fever sf recorded. Upon instructions from Wash .nston, schools here will be opened on the first Monday in October.

DEPARTURE OF THE TROOPS
GARRISON WILL NUMBER 25,OOo

Washington, Setpember 26.-Commander Eaton of the Resolute has been given addi- tonal duty in connection with the Ameri- can military commission at Havana.
 The exact need for this Is not known at the navy department the order having been made at the request of the commission, but it is supposed that Admiral Sampson wants the officer to make an examination of the Spanish naval properties scattered among the various Cuban ports outside of Ha- vana. The naval authorities are deeply con- cerned as to the disposition of this prop erty to be made by the commission, and owing to it's peculiar status being not cao- tured yet actually subject to the disposal of the commission, it Is too early for them to foresee the outcome of the commissions deliberations on this point. Nothing has been heard from the commission itself since the cablegram yesterday relative to the Co., mai.
 The authorities here feel that by consent ing to the entry of the vessel with food supplies the Spanish officials in a large measure ridded the question of evacuation or the urgency that attached to 1t. So long as the Cubans, starving and naked, were denied the relief that might come to them from the United States government and the Red Cross there was a powerful req son for insisting upon the immediate evac- uation of Cuba by the Spanish government officials in order that by taking possession ourselves we might succor the distressed Cubans

 The Ninth cavalry will arrive here to- morrow on it's stations in Dakota.
 The regiment will go dismounted and on arriving in the department of Dakota Ieill find and use the horses of the reg ment, which has been guarding the Ind ans during the war. The regiment relieved by the Ninth will go to Huntsville and there re- ceive the horses of Ninth which have been acclimated to tropical service. This ar- rangement will throw fresh troops into the field and give them acclimated mounts.

No Necessity for Haste

Now, however, that our government is free to do this under existing conditions, there is not the same necessity for haste. and the war department will not be oblig- ed to force American troops in numbers intoj Cuba in the very worst part of the season, so far as health conditions are con- cerneu. =Tha- daily reports that come to the department from Santiago make 1t appar- ent that even among the immune regi- ments made up as some of them are of negroes, supposed to be almost exempt from attacks of climatic fevers much sickness prevails and it is only fair as- sumption that the ordinary troops would suffer more were they now sent into Cuba.
 Therefore, while the American and Span ish commissioners at Havana are still seek ing to reach agreement as to the time to be allowed for evacuating the island it may be said that the president expects that the result will be a compromise be- tween the dates mentioned each side, and that the movement will begin towards the latter part of October and be conclud- ed soon after new year. This will accol very well with the plans of the war de- pertinent as it will enable it to avoid send ing to Cuba any considerable number of soldiers until the healthy season is wei under way. It is the present purpose to make the replacement of the Spanish forces in detail, not sending over any large expedition, but establishing garrisons at one point after another, beginning proba- ply at the western end of the island.
 The authorities, however, have reached the conclusion in view of the spirit shown by the Cubans, reported to it, that it will not be necessary to have nearly so large force to garrison the island as was at first anticipated and it is thought now that no more than 25,OOO men will be re- quired.
