GEN. [AW’I‘ON RETURNS
-' Major-General Discusses the Sit-
uation 'in Eastern Cuba.
DEAD Hcfi‘crs SENT HOME
Say’s That the Existence of the Cuban
Arm; ”etar'ds the Sotution of the
Problem. but; That He Expect to See
the Troops Disbanded. Bodies Brought
on the Transport Michigan.
New York, Oct. 20. ——Brigadier Gener-
al H. \V. Lawton of the military de-
partment of Eastern Cuba, has arrived
in this city accompanied by his aides.
The general, who has received a leave
of absence for sixty days on account of
ill health, looked fairly well, and said
that the voyage had done him a great
deal of good.
Speaking of the condition of affairs
in Santiago and other portions-of east-
ern Cuba, General Lawton had the fol-
lowing to say:
“The general situation is good, and
General Wood, who is now in charge,
is rushing the sundry work to comple—
tion as fast as possible. The people
down there claim that in the history
of Santiago the city was never so
clean as it is at the present time.
Business is reviving also, and confi-
dence among business men is almost
completely restored. At first they
were afraid that the United States gov—
ernment would not afford them suffi-
cient protection, but that apprehension
has disappeared and capitalists are
now investing“ money and naturally
business prospects are booming. The
people have accepted ' the United
States government with the utmost
confidence.”
When asked as to the feeling in gen—
eral about annexation, the general
looked quizzically at his questioner and
said that he was not prepared to talk
about the matter just now.
Continuing to talk generally, the gen-
eral said:
“The great trouble is that the Cu-
bans have an army. Howe ever, thn
great majority of the Cuban troops are
anxious to disband. I was fortunate in
having portions of the Cuban army un—
der me, and was on intimate and most
friendly terms with General Calixto
Garcia. This friendship brought about
a very much better state of feeling be—
tween the American troops and those
in Garcia’s command than had existed
before. No serious breach of the peace
and no robberies have been reported
as having occurred in eastern Cuba.
It is unlike Porto Rico, as the inhabi-
tants acknowledge civil jurisdiction.
The percentage of fever among the in-
habitants is lower than in Porto Rico,
and with improved sewerage and more
perfect sanitary arrangements the dan-
ger of fever must be'considerably lesr
sened. As I said before, a good many
of the Cuban soldiers are gradually
leaving the army and going to their
plantations or returning to their civil
occupations. I will make a full re—
port of the existing conditions in Cu-
ba, but further than what I have said
I do not wish to make any forecast
just now.”
The transport Michigan, which
brought General Lawton’s party, had
one hundred and ninety passengers on
board, among whom Were several con-
valescents and discharged soldiers.
There were also some sick men on
board, all but two of whom were able
to go to their homes.
These two are Private Charles Mr.
Jones, Company G, Fifth infantry, and
Private Levy Marshall, Company M of
the same regiment. ,
Both men were transferred to the
.cLong Island College Hospital Brook-
lyn, where they will be cared for until
they have recovered from the effects
of the fever from which they are suf-
fering.
The dead bodies of two officers and
two privates were brought from Santi-
ago.
That of Colonel Charles A. VVikoff of
the Twenty—second infantry, who war
killed during the first day, of the at—
tack on Santiago, was taken to Gover-
nor’s island, whence it will be taken
to Easton, Pa, and after the funeral
services have beenheld there, the body
will be buried at Arlington, Va.
The body of Captain A. M. Wethercll
of COmpany A, Sixth cavalry, who was
killed in the charge on San Juan hill,
was taken to the city, but arrange-
ments for the funeral have not yet
been made.
The other two bodies. were those of
Private William E. Cheevcr, Company
I, Seventy-first regiment, and Private
Louis V. Skinner of Chester, N. J., who
belonged to Company B, Seventy—first
regiment.
These bodies were also brought to
this city, and will be taken care of by
local undertakers.
Dewey ‘Vill Not; Leave Yet,
Washington, Oct. 20.——Secretary Long
says that the reports that Admiral
Dewey would return ,_to the United
States were erroneous, as the navy de-
partment had no such information.
It has been suggested to Admiral Dc.-
wey several times that he go to Paris.
to advise the American peace commis-
sion on the situation in the Philippines,
but he has adhered to his purpose to
remain at Manila until the Philippine
question has been settled, or all danger
of trouble there has passed.
Fire Destroys :l Boat House,
'Boston, Oct. 20.——The boat house of
the Shawmut Rowing Association was
gutted by fire yesterday morning. All
the rowing shells, wherries and the
eight- oared boats owned by the club
were destroyed.
The cause of the fire is unknown. The
loss is estimated to be $2, 000, probably
covered by insurance.
President’s Congratulations.
Washington, Oct. 20.-—T11e following
cable message has been sent to Gen--
eral Brooke at San Juan, Porto Rico:
“Yourself and your associates of the
commission have my sincere congratu-
lations. '
“WILLIAM McKINLEY.”

CHLCAGO'S BIG PARADE."
Bad Weather Does Not Interfere With
Chicago’s Peace Jubilee.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 20.—The spectacu-
lar and crowning glory of the week of
jubilee was yesterday’s g'reat street
parade. It started from the corner of
Michigan avenue and Congress street
promptly at the time scheduled and
for four hours it moved swiftly and
principal streets in the business portion
of the city. ,
The one drawback was the weather.
The ill fortune which has attended the
jubilee in this respect since the com-
mencement of the ceremonies still con-
tinued.
The storm of the last three days mar-
red in- sime instances the beauty of the
decorations, but these had ' been re-
paired as'far as possible, and it was
through streets gay " with fluttering
streamers and tossing banners, under
arches brilliant with bunting and
bright coors that the parade movedon
its way.
It is estimated that fully twenty- five
thousand people witnessed the parade
from these stands alone. The side-
walks were packed. The police ar—
rangements were perfect. The streets
throughout the entire businesssection
of the city, from the river on the north
to Van Buren street on the south, from
the river on the west to the lake on g
the east, were swept clear of vehicles
of every description.
President McKinley’reviewed the pa-
rade from the grand stand erected in
front of the Union League Club on
Jackson street.
On the stand with him were General
Miles, General Shafter, General Chaf-
fee, Secretary Wilson, Judge Emory
Speer, the Chinese and Corean minis—
ters and a host of other lesser digni—
taries.
Many of the men of the First infan-
try showed in their faces and in their
walk the traces of the disease that has
been with them since. leaving Santiago.
The Seventh Illinois infantry and the
members of the Naval Reserve, many
of whom were with Clark on the Ore--
gon, evoked cheer after cheer as their
broad' collars and flapping trousers
came down the center of Jackson bou~
levard. About thirty thousand men
were in line.
English Marine Disasters.
London, ' Oct. 20.-—The Norwegian
bark Frivoid, of 379 tons, from Boston,
England, for Arendal, her home port,
stranded while trying to make the bar»
bor of Spurn Head.
The Kilnsea rocket brigade estab-
lished commumcation with her, but be-
fore the crew was able to secure it the
vessel was overwhelmed by a. terlific
sea which swept the seven members of
her crew overboard drowning two of
them.
The survivors succeeded in reaching
the shore on parts of the wreckage. The
vessel broke up immediately.
The Norwegian brigantine Augvald,
of 227 tons, hailing from Hagesund,
bound from Portsmouth to Norway has
been wrecked at the mouth of Gourdon
harbor. Two of her crew were saved
and six drowned.
The Russian three—masted schooner
Wilhelm, of _ 221 tons, from Boston;
England, for Meme], has been wrecked
0n the St. Andrews islands.
Five of her crew were saved and one
man was drowned. .
The Norwegian bark Adelgande of
821 tons, Captain Olsen, which arrived
here on August 29 from Paspebiac, and
which hails from Tonsberg, went
ashore at Bolmer while on her way to
Christiania and is likely to prove a to-
tal wreck. Eleven of her crew were
saved and one man was drowned.
Smallpox at Dawson City.
' Port Townsend, Wash, Oct. 20.——Ac-
cording to a report Icceived from_ per-
sons arriving from Dawson on the
steam schooner Diiiago, smallpox has
developed in the capital of the Klon—
dike.
J. C. ”\IcCloud of Seattle, who left
Dan son on September 25, says that on
the night he left it was reportedithat
there were three cases of smallpox in
town
The patients xx ere quietly removed to
a temporaly pest house.
The police had inaugurated a thor-
ough search, and were taking sanitary
measures to prevent a spread of the
contagion.
. Two hundred and fifty mounted CaI-
nad’on police were met at Fort Selkirk
on their way to Dawson, where they
will be stationed for the winter.
Several lives are reported to have
been lost in the struggle to reach the
coast from the interior. The last party
to cross the glacier lost two,
names have not been ascertained. One
nroke through the snow into a crevasse.
The other slid into a chasm hundreds
of feet deep.
French Naval Activity.
Paris, Oct. 20.——In spite‘of semi-ofil-
cial denials, the Echo de Paris asserts
that the embarkation of war material
and supplies continues at Toulon, and
that extraordinary activity reigns at
the arsenal there. '
Besides the ironclads Admiral Tre-
whose -
l
houart, Bouvines, Jcmmapes and Val- .
my.
Caiman, it claims, are getting ready
for service, embarking ammunition and
war materials.
The transports Bien~ hoa and Gironde
are almost ready for sea.
All the French naval officers on leave
of absence have been ordered to return
to their vessels. The naval officers at
Toulon are very reticent. '
A dispatch to the Petit Parisien from
Toulon confirms the reports of the Echo
de Paris and says the greatest activity
prevails in the navy yard, where work
is proceeding with feverish speed day
and night.
Yellow Fever Abating.
Washington, Oct. 20.-——Information re-
ceived at the'Marine Hospital bureau
is that there was a single new case of
yellow fever at Franklin, La., yester-
day.
The appearance of frost at that place
as well as at many other towns in’ the
South, taken in connection with the
the cruisers Alger, Levrier and ,
. with no little interest.

with scarcely a single halt through the -
Request: for Adjournment Until. Friday
Grant-ea. Delay by Spaniards Regarded
as Significant. Some of Their Cherished
Hopes Vanish The Evacuation of Cuba.
Paris, Oct. 20.—-At the request of the
Spanish peace commissioners the meet-
ing of the two commissions which was
to have taken pdace yesterday has been
deferred until to-morrow.
Judge Day, president of the Ameri-
can commission, received a'communi-
cation from Senor Montero Rios-presi-
dent of the Spanish commission,. say-
ing that advices expected, but not re-
ceived, from Madrid, made it neces-
sary for himself and his colleagues to
request a postponement of any further
conferences until to—morrow. A cour—
teous reply was returned by Secretary
Moore, in behalf of the American com-
missioners, granting an extension of
the time of the next meeting as re—
quested.
While the deferring of any one con-
ference for two days is not in itselfan
important request, the delay by the
Spaniards at this juncture is something
more than significant.
The game of diplomacy now progres-
sing here'has reached a stage which
makes it necessary that: the next move
be made by the Spanish commission-
ers.
They are confronted by the plain fact
of their protocol agreement to relin-
quish and evacuate Cubawithout “ifs,"
“ands,” or “buts.”
It has become clear here that the
Spaniards cherished the hope that they
could unconditionally covenant to fol-
low a given path and ultimately wan-
der elsewhere and do less or more than
named in the protocol compact.
The American commissioners, how-
ever, have firmly adhered to the boun-
dary lines already mutually establish-
ed and within which they insist the
Spaniards as well as themselves shall?
duly proceed. It is not too much to
say that Spain now has more light than
ever before on the integrity and stead-
fastncss in word and purpose' of the
United States. Nor" is it wide of the
fact to say that the Spaniards are now
initially appreciating that the United
States did not make war on Spain to
acquiie Cuba as a conquest proviso.
Of this the Spaniards may not let be
wholly convinced, but the firm refusal
of Judge Day and his colleagues to as-
sume the Cuban debt, because the Uni—
ted States will not take over the sov-
ereignty, has widened Spanish percep-
tions and has unquestionably hastened
their convictions. Wherefore it may
in a sense be true that for the first time
they have a feeling that; American
pledges and American performances
are co-equal terms, the Spaniards now
are practically on the
properly lighted negotiations.
When Spain approached these nego-
tiations she was confronted by a wall
of past agreement, which she, however,
regarded as possible to break or punct-
ure at the point of Castilian diplomacy.
Thus she poised and has launched
against the protocol structure of seem-
lng solidity the keen lances of her
finesse. ,
They have fallen broken at. her feet.
The wall of American purpose and
mutual compact have proved not only
apparent, but real and now Spain’s
commissioners give pause to their at-
tack on the Cuban angle and ask time
to assure themselves of their previous
misjudgment and also to reform their
lines or arrange new ones.
The assigned reason for the request
for delay is believed to have been to
allow an interchange of communication
with Madrid and to formulate a final
attitude on the Cuban matter. This
attitude of the Spaniards, to be de-
veloped on Friday, will be watched
Their alterna-
tives are few but pregnant. They may
accede to the American attitude, them-
selves assume. the Cuban debt and go
, forward to consider the next protocol
point, of Porto Rico and the choice by
the United States of an island in the
Ladrones group; or they may at this
juncture, formally ask for arbitration;
or as an extremity which is not likely,
may retire from further negotiation.
“foster-n Coal llIiners on Strike.
.Van Buren, Ark., Oct. 20.-—The works
of the W'cstern Coal and Mining Com-
pany, operating three shafts at Jen—
ny Lind and employing six hundred
men, have been shut down, the men re—
fusing to work.
The miners demand the reinstate-
ment of two men discharged for negli-
gence, resulting in the death of a mule.
It is feared that the strike will extend
to Greenwood and Coal Hill, in this
state, and Krebe, Hachsborne and all
other points in Indian Territory.
The Indian Troubles.
Walker, Minn, Oct. 20.——An agent of
the interior department has been di~
rected to make a thorough investiga-
' tion of the reservation timber question.
fact that ‘the number of new cases and 5
deaths has fallen to the minimum leads '
officials to believe that the epidemic.
is now near an end.
The train inspection service is being
gradually abated, and the expectation
is that all now in force will be declar-
ed off in a few days.
He says Commissioner Hermann of
the general land office is in earnest
about seeking the cause of trouble over
this question, with a View to satisfying
the Indians.
He says he is satisfied that no more
timber contracts will be let until the
present troubles are settled.
