Troops Delayed.
Havana, Oct. 6.—The American and
Spanish evacuation commissioners met
in joint session in the hall of the co-
lonial, parliament yesterday morning.
There was a large crowd outside the
building, but only the commissioners
and their secretaries and stenographers
were allowed to enter.
The first point discussed was the
time for the evacuation. The Ameri~
cans persisted in their demand that
the Spanish troops be all out of the
island about November 30. .
The'Spaniards insisted that a longer
time be allowed to them.
Speeches were made on both sides.
but no agreement was reached-and the
matter was left for further discus-
sion.
Another point discussed was the form
of evacuation, whether it was to take
place gradually‘and from the east to
the west of the island, or whether the
island should be evacuated as a whole.
No agreement was reached, and this
matter was also left for further dis-
cussion.
The third point, about the property
the Spanish army was entitled to car-
ry bac kto Spain, also resulted in a
deadlock.
The Spanish commissioners notified
the Americans in the name of Captain
General Blanco that on account of bad
weather the steamship Porto Rico
would not arrive at Manzani-llo in
time for the embarkation of the Span-
ish troops there on October 7, as was
agreed, but they added that the Span-
ish were ready to encamp outside the
city until the transport arrived and
surrender the town immediately to the
Americans.
The American commissioners replied
that there would be no trouble about
that, as for the present the American
troops would encamp outside the city
for sanitary reasons. '
Speeches were made by General Par-
rado and Marquis Montoro on the Spa-
nish side, and Generals Butler and
ions on the American side.
Many Cuban officers and deputies left
yesterday for Santa Cruz del Sur to
take part in the congress to be held on
meat.

ADJU‘I‘ANT GENERAL’S' REPORT.
Largo. Mass of Documents Prepared,,.fog
the \Var Investigating Commission.
Washington, Oct. Its—The adjutant
general of the army‘has prepared a,
large mass of documents for submis-
sion to the war investigating commit-
tee, and is ready to be handed in when
It consists of three parts. ‘
called' for-
The first part consists of all correspon-
dence, telegraphic and otherwise, which
has passed through the adjutant gen-
eral’s office in connection with the cam-
paign in Santiago. '
The second consists of similar corre-
spondence in regard to the Philippines.
and the third contains all the corre-
spondence relating to the operations in
Porto Rico.
General Corbin makes no comment on
the correspondence submitted, and his
letter of transmissal is very brief. He
says.
“f a newspaper says that I find fault
with Admiral Sampson or anybody else
in regard to the Santiago campaign or
any other campaign, the report is a lie.
It does me great injustice. Even if I
did accuse anybody in my report, no
newspaper would be able to say in ad-
vance that I would do so.”

reforms, consented to advise ,the em-
peror in the general management of af-
fairs and asto the best way of intro-
ducing reforms. ,

necessary, the dispatch says, that six.
councillors who were urging the em—
peror to undertake inopportune reforms,
be put to death. ,.
After referring to the punishment of
the others, the dispatch says that since
his dismissal from the Tsung-li—Yamen

WHEELER/tomb ON THE STAND.
The General Resumes His Testimony_
Condition at Camp Wikofl‘.‘
Washington, D. C., Oct. 6.—General
Wheeler resumed his testimony before
the war investigating commission yes-
terday. - .
The examination on the line of the
. New York World charges was resumed.
He said that if there were any “camp
horrors” on .the 27th of August, as
charged, the commander of the camp
was responsible, for he had full power
to furnish relief. There probably were
individualcases of suffering, but as a
rule he knew the soldiers were well
cared for. There was certainly no lack
of food. ‘ ‘
The surgeons were authorized to ex-
pend sixty cents‘ a day on each indi-
vidual soldier. In addition to this sup-
ply there were his own purchases and
the contributions of the good women
{by Whom the tents were filled with
cdibles.
Furthermore, many individuals for-
warded sums of money to him. As
many as thirty checks were sent to
him, the largest being for $5,000. He
had in each case returned the checks.
because no obstacles in securing such
supplies as he had made requests for
existed. In addition to using the money
allowed to buy provisions, he had used
it for other purposes to add to the
comfort of the men, buying clothing,
blankets, tents, bed sheets, .putting up
the.laundry,p etc. He thought :there
were tents enough to make 50,000 men
comfortable, while there were never
more than twenty thousand men at one
time.
General Wheeler said in replyto a
question from General. Wilson that he
had heard of but one instance in which
a. surgeon had become intoxicated. The
man was relieved from duty, but there
was no court martial, as it was im~
possible to procure testimony bearing
on the case. '
General Dodge asked witness for a
general expression of his opinion as to
the conduct of the various bureaus of
the war department.
Replying, he praised the work of all
the supply departments, saying they
were actuated by zeal and character-
ized by intelligence.
He had found the medical depart-
ment, from General Sternberg down, to
be efficient and anxious to promote the
best interests of his department. The
same was also true of the ordnance,
commissary and other departments.
General Wheeler spoke of the mortality
among the Spanish soldiers, saying it
was quite equal to that among the Am-
erican troops. -
This completed General Wheeler's
;testimony, and the commission then
adjourned for luncheon.
l The next witness will be General II.
; V. Boynton.
Firing the Ten Inch Gun.
Willets Point, L. 1., Oct. 6.—The boys
of Battery. K, Seventh United’States
regular artillery, in camp here under
command of Captain Hamilton, han-
dled the big disappearing rifles with
.much accuracy._yesterday. .
-, A triangular target was anchored in
:the Sound ‘8,500 yards from Fort ‘Tot-
ten. Four shots were fired from the
ten-inch disappearing rifle. ' .
- The first two shots were loaded with
138 pounds of smokeless powder and a
. solid projectile, _ weighing 575‘pounds.
.The last two were loaded with 208
pounds of brown. powder and a 575-
The fourth and last
shot was the best of the day. It pas-
sed twenty-two yards over the target
and five yards to the right of it. ’
The heavy explosions shook the earth
for three miles, broke all the windows
in the post, made horses rear and
tremble and startled the nervous.
It is thought that many such thun~
dering reports would shake the frame
buildings to the ground.
The loading of the disappearing rifles
is done by trucks, which are flush with
the breech of the rifle. The ammuni-
tion is rolled on these from the maga-
zine; the projectile is slid off and home
with dispatch; the powder bags follow;
the breech is closed; the lever is moved;
the gun rises up and over the parapet;
the order to fire is given; the electric
button is pressed and then comes the
thunderous report. The gun working
by mechanism, under the power of the:
recoil returns to its former position,
ready to be reloaded.
