WORK OF COMMISSION.
General Blanco Claims He Was
Forced to Demand Duties on
Provisions.

Our Commission Arranged at Havana So
That We May Send Food Duty Free, to
These Harbors for Cuban Soldiers and
the Poor-Spanish Troops VIII Leave
Them Next Week.
Havana, September 21-Preparations
have been made by the American Evac-
uation Commission to take immediate
possession of the ports of Bahia Honda,
west of Havana on the north coast,
and Jucaro far east on the south
coast, according to an agreement made
with the Spanish Commission and
| Captain-General Blanco The conces-
sion of the ports by the Spaniards was
made three days ago, when Gen. Blan-
co summoned an extraordinary coun-
Gil of the Colonial Cabinet and pre-
sented to it the request of the Ameri-
cans that these ports be opened for the
importation of food.
The matter was kept a strict secret
until to-day. Gen. Blanco, acting ac-
cording to his policy, favored the con-
cession in order to avoid future trou-
BILE concerning the importation of food
free of duty.
In his note preferring the request
Gen. Wade, of the American Commits
sion, pointed out that the policy of the
American Administration, since the
beginning of the war had been to feed
the reconcentrados In addition to
this the commission had received many
petitions from the starving insurgents
praying that steps be taken to secure
the free importation of provisions. A
long letter had also been received from
Gen. Gomez, the commander-in-chief
of the insurgent army, who argued
that the Spaniards, as previously
cablcd in detail should be made tn
evacuate the port of Caibarien in order
that provisions might be imported for
the Cuban army.
1t is said by the Spauiards that Gen.
Blanco was not free 10 act on his own
responsibility in the matter of the free
importation of provisions, and that he
had to comply with the existing GUS
toms regulations. In the case of the
Comal he offered to pay the duties on
her cargo and to meet the expenses of
landing it, but ne could not authorize
the free distribution of food with
warrant from the authorities while
Havana was still in possession Of
Spain.
The solution now reached is best for
both governments, pending the total
evacuation of the island. The Ameri-
cans will now introduce food freely by
way of Bahia Honda and Jucaro. and
distribute it under their own flag.

ESTERHAZY WILL CONFESS.
About to Vindicate Dreyfus
and Tell All He Knows
of the Plot.
SCAPEGOAT NO MORE.
Claims There Is No Justice for Him
in His Own Country and Time
Has Arrived for Disclosures.

OF the Thousand Papers in the Case Six
. Hundred He Knows Are Forgeries-
He VIII Tell who Forged Them and
Under What Ciroumsi ances-sensaii onal
Story.
London, Sept. 21.-Maior Esterhazy
is about to make full confession of
his connection with the plot to dis
grace Dreyfus. AS he admits that he
cannot return to France, it is evident
that the part he took involves Grimm
al consequences.
The Major has been safely staying in
London for some days. Shaving off
his mustache was his only attempt at
disguise, but this has proved sufficient,
as his whereabouts remained undis-
covered by private detectives. both
English and French, who have been
hunting him in the interest of the
Dreyfus family.
The Major has authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
There is no longer any justice for
me in my own country and the time
| has arrived to make a full disclosure
of the part l played in the Dreyfus
affair l intend to make this disclos-
ure in the interest of truth, regardless
of its result to Dreyfus personally.
81 can no longer allow myself to he
made a scapegoat. The responsibility
must be fairly distributed.
Everything l did was in blind, I'M
questioning obedience to my superior
officer. l am a professional soldier
l know no law but the law of absolute
obedience to my superiors. If 1 were
ordered to take a gun and shoot my
own brother I would do so without the
slightest hesitation.
81 have now only my own honor C
consider. My military chiefs have
abandoned me. l owe them no further
allegiance.
You ask me if I was a spy, a secre
agent employed by the French mill
tary staff to watch the attaches of thu
foreign powers. l answer that l acteC
Loyalty under orders. My justification
shall be made plain at the proper time
which is very near at hand.
you want to know whether my dis
closures will clear Dreyfus. l answe
that out of the thousand document
making up the Dreyfus 'dossier' (pa
pers in the case) l know that six hun
bred are forged. l am prepared Il
show by whom and under what cir
cumstances these forgeries were com
mitted.
whether Dreyfus is the innocen
his champions suppose remains to b
seen. That can be safely left to tn
public to judge when they are in pos
session of all the facts"

Naples, Sept. 2O.-Mount Vesuvius
is now presenting the grandest spec
tacle since 1872, due to a violent out
burst of activity. The central crater
and several new mouths are vomiting
lava and ashes. Three imposing
streams are flowing down the mount
ain side, burning the chestnut wood at
the base of Monte Somma, nearly
reaching the Observatory, destroying
part of the funicular railroad leading
thereto and threatening the barracks

Rockford, Harrison county, this after

H had in his possession gun, and
upon seeing his father pulled the trig-
ger and killed him instantly. He then
looked for his older brother, Quill
Wolfe, whom he soon found and killed.
Wolfe then walked leisurely to the
cen otery where his mother was buried
and shot himself through the head. He
died instantly.

Havana, September 20.-The American
and Spanish Military Commissioners
are carrying on their negotiations with
the utmost cordiality. 1t is now
known that the evacuation of the
island by the Spanish troops will re-
quire a longer time than was at first
expected. This is due not only to the
material difficulties in providing for
the embarkment of over 100000 men,
including the regular troops and such
of the militia as desire to go, but also
to the fact that the American commits
sion will have to take charge of the
different departments that are now
controlled by the Spanish Army.

Robley D. Evans, after a talk with
Secretary Long, was relieved, at his
own request, of the command of the

served more than the period of time

for a captain to command, and his
next sea service may be in flag rank.
He has received leave of absence,

OUR PEACE TERMS FORMED.
No Deviation or Modification VIII Bs
Permitted.

Washington, D. C. Sept, 21.-"The
members of the Peace Commission,
with the exception of Senator Gray,
whose absence was due to his inabil-
ity to withdraw as counsel in case in
which he was engaged some time be-
fore his appointment as one OF the
Peace Commissioners, have had free
discussion of the duties, the discharge
of which they had been intrusted with
by the President.
while for obvious reasons 1t was
determined that the nature of the m
structions as to the negotiations about
to be entered upon should for the pres
ent be kept secret and made known
only after definite results shall have
been reached it is possible to state
authoritatively that the commission
goes to Paris fully prepared to follow
a course of action mapped out for it as
the result of the consultations of the
last ten days. At the very outset 1t
will be made clear to the Spanish
Commissioners that, as in the case OF
the preliminary, protocol, there can be
no deviation from or modification OF
the demands made by the United
States"

Cincinnati, O., Sept 21.-Secretary

self emphatically to-day at the st.

granted permission to privates to talk
freely, himself discussed the manage

abuses" said he. That was to be
expected, with such a large army Of
unframed men in the field. There
should never have Ieen any lack of
supplies after the first great movement
and l do not know that there was.
1.-The greatest trouble seems to have
arisen from the neglect of sanitary
regulations. The executive officers OF
each regiment are responsible for that.
1.-THE blame for the sickness rests
first on the colonel and then up to
the highest general in the camp. Each
executive officer should have seen tc
1t that men obeyed the camp rules
Here we had thousands of the heart

never been sick and secuted the

camps in turn. From Fort Thomas we
shall go to Lexington, thence to Knox
