diers Have Left Cuba.

Havana, Oct 1.-THE Spanish mill,
tary commissioners today delivered TN
official note to the American commits
sioners, giving the number of the Span
ish troops shipped to Spain up to the
present as 6617. Those who go by the
transports Montzerrat and Miguel Gal
Tart will make 22OO additional. 1t was
announced that the transports to carry
the entire garrisons of Gibara, Holguin
and other places in those divisions, will
leave on Oct. 90 Oct "A, Get. 70 and
Oct. 80. After they have sailed, it is
pointed out that half the island Of Cuba
win have been entirely evacuated.
Gen. Luque, the commander of the
Spanish troops at Holguin, has assured
the commissioners that If the Ameri-
can troops happen to arrive at the end
of the month at eastern ports, before
they are completely evacuated, the
Spanish forces remaining at those
pointes will be camped IN separate
places.
The body of Maj. Beebe was removed
at o'clock this afternoon from the
Colon cemetery and taken 10 the Ma
china wharf for transportation on
board the Orizaba, which will convey
it to New York. No funeral services
were held here, but brother officers Of
the deceased accompanied the body to
the wharf.
The United States sanitary comnis-
sioners, today visited the Vento water
works and Albear aqueduct, which
were greatly admired as a magnificent
piece of engineering, affording 2 splen-
did water system for Havana. The
drainage and sewage systems of Havana
are also being closely studied by the
United States sanitary communication
ers.
The aide-de-camp and secretary Of
Gen. Calixto Garcia is quoted as say
ing that the general has not accepted
any position from Gen. Lawton or any
other American officer. 1t is not true
he is making tour of the eastern
part of Cuba, advising the disbanding
of the Cuban army, and that there Is
no truth in the statement that Gen.
Garcia is going to the United States
for the purpose of endeavor-
ing to raise a loan which
he has no authority to do The
aide-de-carnp and secretary further as
serted that Garcia had not denied the
legality of the actual revolutionary
government Of Cuba nor had ne accept
ed the supremacy of the United States.
But Garcia had unoff1cially expressed
the opinion that the present Cuban gov
eminent, owing to lack of members
and personnel, could not be considered
legal, as a quorum was impossible and
therefore it's actions are unconstitu-
tional
Gen. Garcia, it seems from what his
secretary said, in all questions Of au-
thority at the present moment, recog-
nizes only the general-in- chief of the
Cuban army, though he recognizes the
''transitory government of the United
States as a consequence of interven-
tion," and being commanded by the
revolutionary government to accept
and to compensate with the American
army at Santiago. He obeyed orders.
Gen Garcia is alleged to advocate the
"Closest union between the Spania-ds
and Cubans on the island, forgetting
the past and uniting in every effort
looking to the establishment of indie
pendence."
These statements are circulated
among the Spaniards here as indicat-
ing Garcia's real attitude towards the
United States and the future of CUBE
