ton of Cuba.
Havana, Oct. 2O.-The two commits
sions are as far as ever from an agree
ment concerning the date of the final
evacuation of Cuba. Last week the
Spanish commissioners announced that
it would be impossible to withdraw all
the troops before Jan. Is. which date.
it was then believed, would be agreed
upon. Misunderstanding arose, and
now the commissioners are so far
apart that an agreement between them
seems unlikely. Col. Girauta says he
thinks the matter will be referred back
to the governments in Washington and
Madrid. The Americans will make a
final attempt to reach an understands
ing by arranging an informal confer
ence between Gen. Butler and Gen.
Parade. These two will meet with no
one present save two interpreters, and
many subjects will be discussed with
more freedom than could be permitted
in formal session.
Orders have been given for the i'm
mediate evacuation of Porto Principe.
This means that shortly after Nov.
the entire eastern portion of the island
will be under American control. Many
influential Spaniards believe Cuba will
be forced to accept annexation because
of jealousies among the leaders Of the
insurgents who aspire to power.

statistician of pronounced ability and
thoroughly acquainted With labor
issues. 1t was decided to establish
headquarters at the Bliss building in
this city. The commission will have
five rooms there ut its disposal. Most

London, Oct. 2L--A dispatch from
Shanghai to a London news agency
says: "a Russian regiment occupied
the town of New Chwang, province OF
Lioa Taing, and the forts at the mouth
of the river Liau, on Oct. Is, thus sew
ering communication with New
Chwang. The native troops did not
make any opposition, under orders
from the dowager empress and Lii
Hung Chang. A British gunboat was
in the river ut the time. Its non-re-

British abandonment of the whole Of
Manchuria to the Russians and gives
away valuable strategic position.
Great Britain is certain TO lose the
