 London, Jan. 21.-The Times in an editorial this morning on Representa- tive Hitt's impassioned speech on Wed nesday says: "We assume that Pres- ident Mckinley does not wish his hand to be forced by the opposition party. He does not want war with Spain be- cause his heart is set upon promoting the economical and commercial devel- opments of the United States. Yet it remains doubtful whether he will prove strong enough to resist the pressure brought toibear upon hip. One of the usual kaleidoscopic changes in Amer lean politics has just been effected. The Cuban question is evidently much graver than it was two days ago, and the government is not any stronger. An accident may precipitate anything.s

The American commissioners are
highly gratified with the spirit shown
by the spaniards. The unexpected
has happened. Where it was peo:ed
that opposition and delay would be
encountered, none has been found.
In good faith, the Spanish commission
ers have met the Americans and ar

EVACUATION OF CUBA.
win Not Re Completed In Less Thar
Five Months.

Five Months.
Havana. Sept. 20.-Rumors that
have been put in circulation to the
effect that General Wade, president Of
the evacuation commission, is i'll with
yellow fever, may be denied absolutely.
General Wade is looking the picture of
health. The general health on board
the steamer Resolute is good.
An official meeting OF the Spanish
commission was held last night to con.
slider the form OF evacuation by the
Spanish troops and with the object OF
acquainting the Americans with the
positions and numbers OF the Spanish
soldiers, and the best method Of en-
barking them.
This afternoon there were sent on
board the Resolute seaIei documents
supposed to contain the statement Of
the results Of last nights conference.
1t is understood that it is proposed to
start the evacuation from east to west,
embarking the troops at the points Of
Gibara. Nuevitas, Cienfuegos and IIa.
vana.
The official statement OF the number
OF Spanish soldiers in the island is
said to place the aggregate at 100, 900,
and it is understood that il is proposed
that the men carry with them their
arms. ammunition, material aud equip.
ments.
1t is estimated that the end OF Feb
hAf
alton of tho island is completed. The
soldiers must embark in Spanish ves-
sells. 1t is suggested that this will be
an advantage to both countries, the
United States having an opportunity to
acclimate It's men during the winter
months. and 1t is proposed that the
American government shall land troops
TO occupy each port simultaneously
with its evacuation, not leaving any
post unguarded at any time.
A difference OF opinion between a
Cuban and Spanish officer in prom.
inent cafe here this morning resulted
in an exchange Of abusive language
and free fight followed. The dis.
turbance was promptly quelled by the
police, and the ringleaders were ar.
rested. The disorder is said to have
been provoked by the Cuban.
A secret meeting of the officers of
the Spanish warships now in port was
held at the governors palace. The
object of the meeting is supposed to
have been consideration of the ques.
tion of returning to Spain, which ves-
sells and portion of the armament
should be taken and which left.

owing to the sinking of the ground.
Seven new oraters have formed around
