OF HAVANA.
HeAHIsH TIkOOPS WILL ALL DE
pART BEFORE DECEMBER -.
One Of the Most Trosh1esone Fes-
tures 70 Deal With VIII De the
Cxaminal Closs-SanitaFy C0ndi-
tSoa 81 Havana II Very Bad.

WASHINGTON, Nov. T.--Gen. II. G.
Butler, OF South Carolina. member OF the
Cuban evacuation commission. arrived To-
AAy direct from Havana fl response TO
tAIegraphic summons from President No
KlnIey, and this afternoon he had two
hours consultation with the president at
the White House.
Gen. Butler gave II as his opinion that all
the Spanish troops viii have departed ten
days before the date fixed In the agree
ment He says the Spaniards have met
the Americans with reasonable fairness
and that there has been little friction The
claims that have been made for compensa-
ton for Spanish property have been ridic3-
lous aud they will, Of course. be abandoned
IA the end Gen. Butter denies all the re-
ports OF discussion among the members OF
the American cornmiasion. Gen. Butler is
OF the opinion that the military govern
meat OF the island must be continued for
some time. but that 1t should only be as
vigorous as may he necessary TO preserve
order. lie thinks the CUbans are ambitious
Tor self-governmens and anxious to avoid
friction with the American authorities. II
military control IL exercised with 6!scrc-
Ton. ne believes there viii be little trouble.
One OF the most troublesome features OF
the situation IL the criminal class, and the
difficulty OF determining IN the case OF
prisoners who are incarcerafed for political
offeEses and who for crime. There mas
existed In Havana in the pas. an oath
bound Organization on the idea Of the
Italian Malta, known as the Mango. whici.
WAS source of terror 10 the Inhabitants.
One OF the few commendabfs acts OF Wey
Ter was the deportation OF about 100 of the
members Of this organization TO the penal
colony Of Ceuta, But fears are expressed
that these criminals may return. or that
the order may be revived by some OF those
who were not deported.
Gen. Butler describes the sanitary con-
dition Of Havana now as q pest hole, filled
with uncomfortable filth. squalor and des-
titution. The Spanish authorities, how
ever. agreed to inaug1rate the work OF put
ting the city In sanitary condition with the
aid Of the municipal authorities and work
70 this end il TO begin at once.
Gen. Butler paints dark picture OF the
dsstitution among the poorer classes and
says 1t Will probably be necessary for us
TO furnish some aid 10 the starving
wretches.
Gen. Butler paid a high tribute to the
discipline and uncomplainlng suffering of
the Spanish troops. They endured hard
ships, he said. which would have caused
American soldiers to revolt. AS an Illus
tration OF the admirable discipline OF the
Spanish soidiery he said that at one time
there were $500 Spanish soldiers In Ha-
vanA. Yet he did not hear or see a single
Spanish soldier intoxicated or hear OF an
act OF violence.

Supreme Court Decides Attorneys
Exception Well Taken.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
TACOMA, Nov. 26.-Edgar Hyde was
convicted Of highway robbery in the supe..
rior court here several months ago and
sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary.
His attorneys. Murry & Carroll. at the
time of the judges charge TO the jury, took
exception to his comment upon the testi-
mony Of certain witness, and upon this
point hinged an appeal for a new trial. :.
Judge Williamson held he was legally
correct in making reference to the testi-
mony OF this witness, attorneys for the de-
PENDANT insisting he had no right to adopt
such a policy in his Instructions.
Last week the case was brought up In the
supreme court on this point, and today the
attorneys were advised that their excep-
ton was well taken. and the court was in
new trial.
The case is a peculiar one, and the finding
of the higher court, ordering rehearins
has aroused much local interest In the out
come OF this second trial, which will likely
be called up al an early day.

A Notable War Record.

William Gage of Springfield, W.T.,
enlisted Thanksgiving day, 1861, in
the 9th New Hampshire Volunteers,
and stard with the regiment until his
discharge in 1865. He was IN all
the battles except two that the rcgi-
ment was engaged in, and in his
whole army experience was never
wounded. At the battle of Antie-
tam Il comrade was shot each side Of
him, and before fredericksburg Il
recruit was shot that lay between
him and another comrade. They
were detailed to take him to the rear
and bury him, which they did in the
storm of shot and shell. In one en-
sagcment as he stopped over to get
drink of water, bullet struck his
cartridge box, and several times bull
lets found their way through his hat
or clothing.
Mr.. Gage was in the hospital only
Il few days during the war, and then
he and Il comrade skipped and re-
joined their regiment. At Peters
burg after the explosion he helped to
bury $500 who met death there.
His regiment had, all told, 5000 men
during the war, and only about $50
came back. Mr.. Gage and one
other were the only ones in his com
pany who came out of the war I'M
hurt.

Jim F1sk's Monument Mutllated.

The monument over the grave of
Col. James Fisk, Jr., in the &c ne
terry at Brattleboro, has been Serious
ly mutiated. 1t is of Italian marble,
and was carved at Florence, Italy,
at cost of $4,000. About the
shaft arc four figures of women.
One with steam engine carved on
the chaplet around her brow, repre-
sents the Erie Railroad; another is
Commerce, a symbol of the Fall
River line of steamboats,; third is
the Muse of Music, emblematic OF
the Grand Opera House, and the
fourth is typical OF Commerce in its
broadest sense.
The mutlation has been done by
relic hunters. A few years before
Col. Fisk's death an effort was
made by residents of the town to
build fence around the cemetery i'll
which his monument now stands,
and committee was sent to New
York to solicit funds from former
Bratteboro boys. Among those
called upon was Col. Fisk, and to
the committees solicitation he re
piled:
eyes, will give something, but
| don't see any need of fence
around the cemetery. The fellows
who are in cannot get out, and
those who are out do not want to
get in"
lie little toresaw that the relic
hunters were to mutilate his own
mOnum ent.
