Associated Press Special Wire.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
After O joint session lasting two hours,
held in the Camnra lnsular, the Spanish and
American commissioners are as far of al
ever from an agreement on the date of evac-
uation. The Americans strongly urged that
the final day be January /, the Spanish com
missioners as emphatically insisting that
evacuation was impossible before February
II.
The arguments of the Spanish were that
it was physical impossibility, with only
II transports, some of which were at Porto
Rico to move 100000 men, 5000 of whom
were i'll, until the latter date. The argu-
ments were repeated over and over by both
sides but resulted in no final decision. The
session ended with the situation practically
the same as when it began.
Regarding minor details the Spanish
agreed with the Americans. A discussion
over other matters ended in an agreement
that an American and Spanish officer
should take detailed list of the articles in
dispute each item being considered in de-
tail as to whether it is movable or not. The
items on which they disagree will be refer

While the actual result Of the session is
such. the feeling of the members of the Am

weakening in their claim for the latter date
and that January ] will be shortly agreed
to. A member of the commission said:

Officials in Conference

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-The President
Secretary Alger and Adjutant Genera
Corbin had an extended conference today
the principal topic under consideration
disposition to change the date, January lst,
fixed for the assumption of control by the
United States. The questions discussed
today related mainly to transportation,
ships, equipment, landings and camps. The
reports of the Cuban Military Commission
and of the Army Boards dispatched to in
vestigate and locate sites, We're considered.
General Lawton, who has been for some
time past the Military Governor of Santiago
Province, was present during portion of
the conference, and gave the President
some information concerning conditions in
Cuba. The reports of the board to select
sites, included list of articles which would
be Immediately necessary and the depart
ment has ordered the issuance of advertise
ments for them.
Colonel Heclser and Colonel Lee, quarter
master of the board, have been ordered to
Washington to report more in detail and
to assist in the preparations for the embark
alton of troops for Cuba
During his conversation with General
Lawton, the President expressed his graft
fication at the victorious conclusion of the
campaign in Santiago Province and at the
Quoted themselves.
General Lawton declined to discuss the
recommendations which he will make to
Secretary Alger respecting future operations
of the army and the government generally
in Cuba.
1t has not been definitely determined
whether General Lawton will return to the
command at Santiago, but the general ex.
pressed the belief that he probably would
not. The command of the department of
Santiago is now under General Wood. 1t is
yet too early, says General Lawton, in re-
sponse to questions on the subject, to ex-
press an opinion as to the time it will be
necessary for this government to maintain
military supervision of the island! of Cuba
This will have to be determined entirely
by the course of events. The Cubans, gen
orally speaking, General Lawton said, were
quiet, tractable people. He did not think
there would be any trouble in managing
them so far as this might be necessary,
pending the formation of an independent
government on the island.
So far as the cities are concerned, General
Lawton did not believe there would be any
difficulty in maintaining discipline and
order, and in the country agricultural dis
tricts the formation of constabulary COM
posed of the natives would bring about the
desired effect.
After the conference, Secretary Alger
said that it related to what regiments should
90 to Cuba as an army of occupation and to
what points. He said that the details Of
the movement would not be made public.

Unpaid Soldiers

| HAVANA, Oct: 29.-As previously an.
nounced, Captain General Blanco has been
instructed by the Spanish war minister to
pay to each man who wished foreman in
the island va upon giving him his discharge
from the Spanish forces, the discharged
right to shipment home. Many Of the rank
and file. mostly members of the Orden
Publico forces, which have been here since
| period prior to the outbreak of the war.
have claims against the government of over
$500, and the claims of many of the Guardia
Civile amount to $1,000. OF the latter
forces several companies which arrived from
the interior for the purpose of entering pro.
tests against their non payment have been
sent to El Moro, to what.i known as the
depot of embarkation," where they are
held virtually as prisoners, though not called
by that name. They are not allowed to
leave their quarters and are fed on scant
army rations. The Orden Publico made no
secret of their dissatisfaction and threaten
to mutiny unless their claims are settled.
They find willing support among the mem
bers of the Guardia Civile and the regular
and volunteer soldiers.
The central revolution committee of Ha.
vana, Notwithstanding the receipt of several
adyices from General Gomez as to the criti.
cal condition OF the forces under his COM
mand, has not sent any relief since the sen.
aration of General Gomez staff. A strong
propaganda is being agitated against Come
who is charged with being despotic, and his
enemies are taking every advantage of his
condition. The general wants to maintain
military ordinances and has issued orders
prohibiting dancing and other forms of
amusements in the camps.
Although General Gomez has abandoned
temporarily his trip to Havana, he will
shortly visit one of his first nieces who re-
sides in Guanabocoa, where he will remain
several days.
It is believed the departure of General
Blanco and his staff for Spain, which it is
expected will take place about the middle
of November, will be a step towards peace,
as it is asserted that some officers who are
intimate friends of the captain general and
who have his confidence, have been inciting
the Spanish troops and insurgent chiefs in
the field to resist the Americans by force of
arms if they are not at once granted inde-
pendence. 1t is certain that all of the off

peror said he was pleased to see that the
good relations he had maintained with the
sultan and the Ottoman empire had bene-
fitted his German subjects in the east gen.
orally. Continuing, the emperor remarked
that the more the Germans in the east
clung to their country, the more they
would constitute a civilizing and useful
element in the Turkish empire and 1t wars
in recognition of this fact that the sultan
had extended his benevolent protection to
the German residents

There has been considerable scare in
