Release Its Hold ON Cuba for Many
Months.

washington, February Sit is now
apparent to the officials of the admin
%istration that il will scarcely be posi-
BILE for the United States to withdraw
entirely from the government Of Cuba,
under the most favorable circum-
stances, before next fall at the earliest.
This is conceding the possibility that
the Cuban convention may adopt q
constitution entirely acceptable to this
government on or before the first OF
April next.
1t is recognized on an sides that il
will require several months after the
adoption Of the constitution TO COM
plete the organization OF the Cuban
government and have IT in successful
operation. All the national officers
must be chosen, laws enacted for the
collection of the revenues and the es-
adjustment OF a stable government, a
police force or constabulary organized,
to tax the place of the United States
military force, for the preservation OF
peace and the maintenance or order,
and the municipal governments organ
lied. In this country at least three
months notice is given of a general

the conditions in Cuba, where all the
preliminary Electoral machinery has
yet to be prepared, it will naturally
take more time to prepare for the cleo
ton of the president and other national
officers, after which the administrative
officers must be appointed and the nee
essary laws enacted before the gov-
a be properly established.
AT any rate such is the view of the
officers of the administration as stated
today by a prominent member of the
cabinet, who is thoroughly familiar
with the situation. This gentleman
also said that when the Cuban govern
ment is in successful operation the
United States troops will be withdrawn
from the island. Such withdrawal. he
said, would be made when the Cuban
government requested it and it vas
clearly apparent hat the government
was fully capable of maintaining peace
and good order. There undoubtedly
would be a common understanding on
the subject.

THE NAVAL PROMOTIONS
President to Renew Promotions of Of

tiaSo.

Washington, February 9.-It is ex-
pected that the president will, on Mon
day next, renominate all the officers
connected with the naval victory off
Santiago, July 8, 1898. whose nominal
lions for advanced rank failed Of ac-
ton in the senate many months ago.
The new nominations will be identical
in character with those formerly sent
to the senate, with this difference that
the operation of the personal! law al
ready "a advanced many of the Off
GERS whose names were on the list and
consequently the department is obliged
to make some recommendations to car
ry out the spirit of the boards inStruc-
tons. Rear Admiral Sampson is ad-
Vanced to rank after Rear Admiral
Howell. the senior officer in his grade
and next below Admiral Dewey. Rear
Admiral Schley is advanced to rank
next below Rea Admiral Sampson.
The order of advancement in the case
of the officers is practically the same
as in the original nomination.

ing it vas pregnant with difficulties

Impair the integrity of China.
NJ. del Case, the minister of foreign
affairs, said his initiatives had always
been directed towards the restoration
of the normal situation by the powers
The latter's adhesion to the French
propositions showed that the interests
|of each were thereby safe-guarded. The
conditions had been accepted
and it was now necessary to have them
out. The government desired
the speedy recall of the French troops,
but only when the normal situation
was restored.
NJ. del CasSe added: "If we are
ready to defend tenaciously our inter

same respect for the rights of others.
Chinese affairs have afforded the op-
|p%ortunity to prove the community of
Interests of France and the United
and the m action of
France and Russia in China, as else
where, showed that the alliance was
being daily strengthened by the equal
which each of the powers

New York Harbor lce-Blocked

New York, February 9.-New York
harbor was still ice-locked today and
all traffic af1oat in the bay and rivers
was crippled by the foes. Not in many
years, say the shipping men, has COM
merce on the harbor been so impeded
by the ice. Even the Atlantic liners
are delayed and bothered by the packs
which for days have hung persistently
along the water fronts everywhere,
filling up the slips and causing delay
and vexation to thousands who travel
on ferry boats.
Increasing the trouble 100 fold came
the storm this morning and for several
hours ice and snow placed an embargo
on the port. No vessel dared to navi-
gate the Narrows or He'll Gate until the
snow had stopped falling. Many tug
boats have been called into service to
break the way for clogged vessels.

London, February SIT has been
learned by a representative of the AS
Press that a reply will short
lily be sent to the United States Nicara-
qua canal project. 1t will not comply
with the senatehs demands. Neither
will it be in the nature of a fat refusal,
though for purposes of immediate con-
.|struction, it will be tantamount to such
"a refusal. 1t will consist, mainly, in
IA counter proposal, or proposals. likely
to necessitate extended negotiations.
The nature of the proposal is not yet
|ascertainable. Lord Pauncefote will
probably be the medium through whom
the answer will be sent and by whom
the subsequent negotiations will chiefly
be conducted.
