THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
eminent WIN Exercise Control over
the Entire Group.

Washington, Oct li.-Public men in
Washington believe the negotiations
of the peace commission at Paris will
result in the forfeiture of sovereignty
by Spain over the entire Philippine
group. While the instructions to our
commissioners include the retention
by this government of the island of
Luzon only, the conditions under
which Spanish sovereignty over the
rest of the group would be restored are
such as it is now believed Spain will
not accept. Spain cannot reject these
conditions and retain her sovereignty.
1t is expected, therefore, that negotia-
tions will close with the entire
group of islands in the possession
of the United States.

Robert Tsorter's View,

New York, Oct. 1.-The. members of
the Cuban junta here ase much con-
cerned about the stories of su fering
from lack of food received by them
from the Cuban army. Letters have
come which state that the condition
of the army and Of the pural popula-
ton in Cuba is now worse than ever"
during the continuance of the war
The iunta officials here maintain. that
the course adopted. by the Spanish is
resulting as effectually in causing
death to the Cuban insurgents and
paoificos as did the policy of recOncen-
tration and determination adopted by
Weyler. Following is.an extract from
alletter received by Hbratio'S: Rnbens,
counsel tt the junta here:
Nobody can form an adequate idea of the
horrors OF our position. Famine caused more
deaths than have the bullets of the enemy. II.
wdthin month we do not receive much more
flOd one-third Of the Cuban arEwaud of the
rnral population will ceasu-to exist, and even a.
month may be too late
Counsel Rubens said this extract was
but one. of a score or more similar ones
received by him. The Spanish hold
the coast towns and the Cabans con.
troll the interior. The Spanish main
tain that the statu quo provided by
the protocol is that they in the towns
take care of themselves, and the Gu
bans in the country, including the
rural popalation, supposedly in camp
with the insurgents, take care of
themselves, all warfare ceasing.
This" continued Counsel Rubens, sis
carrying out the policy of reconcentra-
tion and necessarily of determination,
as the Spanish will not allow the inn
portation of food Through the coast
towns.-

enough has happened to cause north

in most OF the small settlements near
Walker, it being the center of the

the Second Division Hospital at
Camp Thomas

Washington, Oct. 1O.--The war inves-
tigating commission began its pro-
ceedings Saturday with Maj X. Em-
NETT Giffin on the stand. He was a
brigade surgeon at Camp Thomas and
told of his visit to the Second division
hospital in July last, when he said
1T was overcrowded. In each
tent and under its flies there
were eight or nine men where
there should have been but from four
to six. There was "A sufficiency of ply
sicians and Maj Gifiin was sure they
were competent men. He thought the
crowding of the hospital was from
lack of sufficient tentage a fault due
to the surgeon in charge.

THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
Gen. BIanco Said to BE Losing Control OF
His Onoers and Men in Havana
wade's Communication.

Washington, Oct. IA cablegram
came yesterday from Gen. Wade, chair.
man of the American commission at
Havana, briefly outlining the condi'
tions in Cuba, and wound up with the
statement that full report was on
the way by mail. The reason Gen. Wade
anticipated his complete report Is
because the conditions have changed
so rapidly in the past few days that
he thought the govern meut should be
made acquainted with the more i'm
portant features before the whole facts
would be communicated by mail.
When Secretary Alger received the
communication he went at once TO the
white house with It and had con-
sultgtion with the president and Sec
rotary Hay. Some brief instructions
we're sent to Gen. Wade, but final ae~
ton will be postponed until the mailed
report arrives Saturday.
1t is believed that the communicaS
tion deals with the plan Of the admin"
istration TO not send many troops to-
Cuba until all danger Of fever has
passed. Gen. Wade, IL is thought,
points out that the existing govern

thority is noS respected and he is

crastinatiop Of the Spanish commits

Of this government whileft was not de-
sirous of sending troops to Cuba until
November. Gen. Wade, 1t is said,
points out that the government of the
Spsniards and autonomists, independ~
ent of any stand of the commissioners,
will soon be unable to- preservs order
and protect life and property.
Secretary Alger said that it was not
thought desirable to mske a statement
concerning Gem Wade's communica-
tion until fuller advices we're received,
but from another officer " the depart
ment who is acquainted with the situ-
alton il is learned that Gen. Wade
does not suggest shat troops be sent
at once, bat that he does urgently
advise that the government be pre-
pared to act promptly, as the situation
