San Juan de Porto Rico. Sept. 10
The two evacuation commissions held
an hours session yesterday and adj
journed until tomorrow. The American
commissioners made known their po-
sition regarding the evacuation and
transfer of the island, in accordance
with their instructions from Washing
ton. These instructions they decline
to make public at present as pub
licity might lead to embarrassment in
negotiations, but the Spanish commits
sloners did not disclose their positions
nor the nature of their instructions.
They manifested. however. willing
ness to secure as much expedition as
possible, and our commissioners are
much satisfied with the way in which
their demands have been informally
received. The adjournment gives the
Spaniards time to prepare their reply.
When that is presented the issue will
be joined and the situation become
clear

Should the fever spread it would
doubtless induce the American COM
missioners to hasten the evacuation to
the utmost but as yet there is not the
slightest reason to expect an epidemic.
General Brooke says two cases have
been reported to him and one death. AS
soon as he learned of these he caused
all suspects to be isolated, with a view
of preventing the spread of the infec-
ton. 1t is believed that the cases
originated in the Spanish prison at

Joseph Wheeler, and states that the

gentlemen, one of whom Is Hon. Sam

porter:
"I do not believe the war is over by
any means; neither does President Nc
Kinley, who told me personally ne had
no faith that the peace commission
would settle the differences existing
with Spain over the Philippines. The
Spanish claim that the battles at Man
ia were fought after the protocol was
signed, and on these grounds will re-
fuse to give up the islands"
Continuing, General Wheeler said:
Spain will want us to give up the
Philippines, and, laying emphasis
here, I'VE will never do that. am
going back to duty, and really expect
to be called into action again."

Santiago de Cuba. Sept. 13.-As the
result of the general introduction by
General Wood, military governor OF
Santiago de Cuba, of American meth
DDS OF conducting municipal affairs,
this ancient and always unhealthy city
presents a health record today which
is quite extraordinary, considering the
conditions that existed here month
ago.
Under the present system Santiago is
divided into five divisions, under five
physicians. each division having in
spectors of sewers. streets, houses and
dispensaries, with a hundred street
cleaners.
Five hundred cubic yards of refuse
are burned daily, dlslnfectants are dis
trlbuted wherever they are needed and
a heavy fine is imposed for uncleanli-
ness and failure to report unhealthful
conditions and death.
Quick proofs of the benefit Of the
system are furnished by the decrease in
sickness among the poor. The daily
death rate of 10 month ago has fallen
to 90. Further evidence Of the wisdom
and thoroughness of the sanitary ar
engagements is supplied by the lessenins

The chief source of trouble now is the

slight A plan is proposed to dredge
thoroughly the muddy shadows ex-
posed by the tide and to protect the
banks with either stone work or piles,
carrying the present infectious sewer

current is swifter.
The sickness among the American
soldiers is principally malarial, mild
form of yellow fever and dysentery
General Wood expects. in the course OF
another month. to make Santiago as
healthful as the ordinary southern city
in the United States.
This week all the Spanish prisoners
will leave and the Cuban army, save
the staff officers will disband.
