n»e ' it. A<l'lr<’>s Franklin Hart. 112 W. 32<l St., N. Y
vana ami a legislative body with t.wo houses
It .’arried out in a measure the long pend
ing plan of giving Cuba home rule by
means of an autonomous government, hut
while in name autonomous, it w.is contend
ed by the Insurgent element that genuine
homo rule was lacking and that this co
lonial regime was a continuance of Spanish
domination.
It appea.rs. however, that, these colonial
authorities are taking a very tictlxc part in
the present negotiations and that there Is
more or loss co-operation 'between them
and the Spanish government. This <r. -
atos a condition '.n which the United St ites
must deal not only wit..» Spain, but with
those who claim to rej.resent the island
itself, free from Spanish control. The co
lonial or autonomist administration is vei y
thoroughly organized and eaci exert much
Influence, (t established a regular legation
in Washington prior to the war with espec
ially prominent men of Havana on the staff,
its numbers ?ii its ranks much of the
wi-a'.t!i of Cuba and Haims Io stand for the
cdue.ited Hasses as against the Insurgents
and I literates. This makes two .list n. t
Cuban class.-.-—the autonomists, who are
co-operating with Spam, and the lusur
g. tils, who are . pposed to Spat i.
H now seems clear from the ofTlHal as
well as from tl e press reports of Havana
and Mmlrid that the autonomist govern
ment Is taking up the Halm first adv.meed
by Spain that many in.-l.b-nt.-il .iii -stloi s as
to Cuba must be settled before the evacua
tion begins.
But tlie view among government officials
hero is that the Cuban autonomists as
well as the Spaniards have no questions to
iidvatncc or settle before evacuation is de
form ned upon. The tinm am.) place of
evacuation is looked upon by the authori
ties here as the only point involved and
ther? is I'kely to b<- -a rude awakening if
the pro-Spanish element, either as autono
mists or as native Span aids, insists upon
bringing in the determination of the Cuban
debt, future forms of government rates • f
tariff for Spain ami many other subjects
as a preliminary to evacuation.
The American comm ssloneis. according
to the understanding here, will insist upon
a strict a.ilier. nee to tile protocol for an
Immediate evacii.it ion of the island, and if
need be, will submit an ultimatum against
Ink.ng up subsi.ii ii y qu. .-.ions on Cuba's
future. While the <'ul.an colonial 'tov.rii
nient is thus combining with the Spanish
g ivornment in bringing forw.iid tlmse iti
.Mental questn«:is. yet the opi lion was ex
pressed today by a high diplomatic officer
based on recent advi.-.s from Havana, t int
a serious issue would be .averted and that
t:i actual evacuation of 'lie Spanish troops
from Cuba would begin w ithin tae m-xt
month.
But it also appears that the ev icuatlon
will .over a mu.h longer time than his
boon anticipated. There are some lOtt.'W
Spanish troops in the island. Allowing l.tioh
men on a transport and a v.-msel leaving
every day it would take 10<> .lays, or over
three months, for the evacuation. But tho
vessels are not available for a trip every
day for 100 consecutive days, so Hint the
time for departure would probably far ex
ceed three months.

Spain Won’t Be Allowed To Remain in

Washington. September 22. Il is stated
that the war department has received no
detailed report of any information from
the Cuban military commission regarding
the work of tlie commission at Havana.
In reply to the question as to whether
there was any .llsposition to accede to the
request of the Spaniards for a postpone
ment of t'he evacuation of Cuba until some
time next spring, the statement was made
that no delay would be considered; that the
ev.icmition inits-t proceed with . xp ditbm.

that I don't have time to read it before

THE S2OO STILL OFFERED.
No One Has Yet Named the Right
Missing Wor:’.
The offer of *5200 extra made last week
st’ll stands open and goes without a taker.
We repeat the clTer in exae-; terms for the
rest of this month:
The first correct answer is still to come,
and for fear you did not look .hard enough
last week for the word. xv<- now make the
$209 offer good til! October Ist, an.l surely
you will hunt. It down. Kud-rstan.l, now
this S2OO is extra, over and above the regu
lar 10 per cent of subscript ions entering
the contest. That is going to be a goed
round sum itself, but tho S2OO added will
help out your check considerably. The size
of lite sum paid will depend upon the num
ber of contestants, as 10 per cent of their
subscriptions wll in ke I: up. If every
subscriber and agent would send in a nice
Hub this week the percentage would go
above $2,500, and vottr check for correct
glass would.be f('r a handsome amount.
We will state that the sentence quoted
from tlie book will be complete when the
right word is supplied, that there is a
period marking a full stop and the Hose
of the sentence a'ter the Word that is now
rnissloig, that tho sentence niak'-s complete
sense in its corn.-, tlon with the othe" part
of tlie p-i'-.-igrapb from winch it is t ikan.
We offer this problem | m gcoxl faith; it
is (is perfectly fair and open as we can
make it and there is no reason at all why
some o>ne should not name this word this
week and know that he has the right an
swer.
What's the matter with the ladles taking
hold of it. and the bright boys and girls
getting after It?
These contests are cdiieatlve; they are
instructive and a valuabi» stimulus to ef
fort along the right ii-r.es. They pay well
too. over s6.(*K' sent out among our sub
scribers under the forme) contests last
year. And h.-re we stan.l with S2OO for the
right word, begging y.m to find it. Tlie
word is not so hard to spell as hundred*
of words that have been sent to us.
No matter who it is, or where he sends
tin name from, if the His; correct answer
to the missing word proiii.-m is received
tliis week it will bo wot t n just S2OO more
than any one 1 -■ -'s cor'-.-e-, .insxver. Now
is the time to get at it. ’Everybody wants

TROOPS START TO CUBA SOGIM

000 MEN TO LAWTON.
First Installment of 10.000 Soldiers
Will Leave the States Early
Next Month.
Washington. P-ptembor 19— 11 is th- pres
ent intention of th -idministration to send
to Cuba as a garrison force for the island
about 40.009 troops in addition to tho force
now in Santiago under eomtnand of Gen
eral Lawton.
Tlie organiza'.i-tr.s which arc to com
prise tho Cub; garrh m 1 tve not all been
designated yet. but it i.s assured tliat at
least half of ;honi will bo volunteers.
Within two w.-cks orders will bo issued
for the movement to Cuba of the first 10.-
000 of the pernt.inen: garrison, and it ! :
tiie expectation now that tliey will s til
from the United states about October loth.
These troops x U be follow.faickly by
others until tho entire force of 40,000 has
been established on tiie island.
It is not the Intention of the administra
tion to await the evacuation of the island
by th.- Spanish forc-s before sending Unit
ed States troops to Cuba, as tiie indica
tions now are that it may be sov-ral
months before the Cuban commissioners
complete their work. Quite naturally. •
eo’e id* r il.le numla-r of Spani-h troops will
remain on tlie island until the arrange
ments for the relhiquishm.-nt of Spanish
sovereignty over it formally have been
concluded.
The rainy season In Cub i Is nearly at

FINGER AT THEN!
Quartermasters Are Roundly De
nounced by the General in
Presence of Alger.
WATER BOILERS THE CAUSE
General Waites Said He Had Requisi
tion for Them, but His Order Had
Not Been Honored.
Lexington, Ky„ September 21.—A promi
nent gentb-rnnn. close to the national ad
ministration. says the present tour of in
spection us the southern camps by Secre
tary Alg'.-r, Quartermaster G'-neral Luding
ton and Surgeon General Sternberg will
likt ly develop numerous charges from reg
imental and general lickl officers against
both the ni'dieal and the quartermaster
d. partm.-nts and especially against some
commissary otlieers. The talking was Uegun
her. by (’,. neral Sanger against the medi’-al
.lep.i rt tni rtl 'nd by General V. aites against
the quart'rmaster's, and it is expected that
olPeers at other points will add very ma
terially to this testimony before the tour
of inspection is completed.
Si.tetary Alger stated that all of th.s
information and all other evidence that lie
could secure would be presented to the in
vestigating commission at Washington.
At th. here last evening be-
tween Secretary Alger, General Breckin
ridge, tin- commander of ("amp Hamilton,
ai.d other olli.-ers. General Sanger said
while the division hospital may iu a good
thing, that as it was conducted it had
... , Ji grace to the service; that it h id
depriv'd the regiments of their surgeons
and caused hardships on the sick wiio
should have had better attention at the
proper time.
Surgeon General Sternbi-rg, in reply, in
sisted that ill requisitions had been hon
or.,! in Washington, an.l that, any medical
men failing to do their duty should be re
ported
Waites Makes Direct Charge.
General Waites told Secretary Alger that
the neglect of some quartermasters to fur
nish supplies was criminal. While in Chick
amauga he frequently made requisitions
which were not honored. An imperative
order had 1 cen sent to have all water
boiled. He 'mid made a requisition on
Quartermaster General Loo for water boil
ers. No attention was paid to his requisi
tion and after repeatedly urging Quarter
master General Loe to send the boilers,
tolling him bow flic men were contracting
typhoid fever, he was met with a reply
which road:
“The war department does not furnish
boilers.”
General Waites then purchased the boil
ers himself, but the seeds of typhoid had
boon sown, and the daily reports showed
th" list of deaths and of cases in the hos
pitals. Pointing .-’t Quartermaster Luding
ton. General Waites said:
“These men cannot say it was somebody
t-lse's fault. It was the fault of Quarter
mister General Lee and it 'was tho fault
of Qiiartermast- r Ludington, who is stand
ing right there."'
T.udlngton made no reply to Waites, as
Sternberg had done to Sanger.
Says the Boilers Were Sent.
Washington. September 21.—The quarter
master's department of "ho army states
that the claim made by certain officers
that, boilers were not furnished for boiling
water at Chickamauga is not true. On the
same date that Chief Quartermaster T.ee
telegraphed for the boilers 2,000 were sent
and a little later 500 more. It is niso stated
that the soldiers would not drink the boiled
water because it had a flat t iste and pre
ferred and drank the fresh water.

spent the afternoon in Atlanta Saturday.
Tiie party arrived in Atlanta from Annis

was ready to go to Fort McPherson and

Hospitals Are Inspected.
Ti ■ party rea. l . d Fort McPherson short
ly before 2 o'clock, where ;he secretary
was received by Captain Forbes, com
mander of the post, ami .Major I aylor,
surgeon in charge of the hospital, together
with the other otlieers now stationed at
Fort McPherson.
Despite the fact that Secretary Alger
says t.ie matter of enlarging tiie hospital
at Fori M I’hcrson will not be decided un
til Ilfs return to Washington, there is no
doubt of tiie intention on the part ot the
authorities to erect buildings of some kind
as large as tlie ones now occupied by the
sick men. and to use these buildings for
hospitals. This will double the number of
sick men ac Fort Mel J 'hersxfii.
In talking to Major Taylor Saturday,
General Sternberg spoke of this matter in
such away as to leave no doubt as to the
[mentions of the department. He even
w.nt *so far as to advise Major Taylor io
ask for estimates for .lie buildings. The
kind of building to be erected was dis
cussed. and the [iresent idea is to make
each ward large enough to accommodate
twenty in.-n and make the new buildings
sutiii 'i ntly large to accommod He 400 men.
In .-p.aking of the matter. .Major Taylor
si.id : acre s> cnu’il to be no doubt that tlie
hospital would be enlarged, and said he
would ask for estimates and the
buildings. lie was well pleased with
the impression of the hospital obtained by
th" distinguished visitors, and is justly
proud of tiie hospital.
Immediately after inspecting the hospital
Secretary Alger was driven back to the
city and out to Piedmont park, where hi?
went to look at the camp site of which he
