DISPOSITION III TROOPS
Arrangements for Sending Men
to Occupy Cuba.
PLANS ARE UNGHANGED
What the Administration Desires. Gen.
Q.
Wood to Stay at Santiago. Vorun eers
who Want to Be Relieved from Gan-1'1-
son Duty. Reorganization of the Army.
Washington, Nov. 2.—There has been
no change in the plans of the war de-
partment respecting the sending of
troops to Cuba.
No date has ever been fixed for the
troops to depart. The only thing that:
has been determined is that the con—
trol of the island shall pass to the
United States on January .
Attempts to make it appear that the
death of Colonel Waring from yellow
fever has changed the plans of the de—
partment are without basis.
“then General Lee was in Washing—
ton the earliest date he recommended
for sending troops to Cuba. was Novem-
ber 15, and he did this with several
reservations, suggesting that only a
small number be sent, and to places
where there was little danger of dis-
ease and fever.
With a view to making arrangements
for the troops: a board of officers was
sent to Cuba to select camp sites and
ascertain what was needed for the
troops.
The principal officers of this board,
Colonels Hecker and Lee, have been
ordered to Washington, and their re-
ports will be carefully considered be-
fore any troops are sent to Cuba.
The war department, moreover, docs
not wish to have any conflict with the
Spanish troops as to occupation of
towns, and therefore desires to send the
United States troops into Cuba. only a
short time before the Spanish troops
leave.
Owing to climatic conditions the Uni-
ted States has not been pressing for
immediate evacuation, requesting only
should be
made by the Spanish authorities.
A few months ago eneral Wood, in
command of the city of Santiago, inti-
mated to the secretary of war that he
would like to come home on leave of
absence, but in view of the fact that
General Lawton has turned over the
command of the Department of Santia-
go to General Wood and has been as-
signed to a. division command in the
United States, it will be impossible for
General Wood in return to this country
at present.
He has made up his mind to remain
at Santiago, has taken a house there,
and Mrs. Wood, with their children,
will sail for Santiago a week from "to-
day.
The request of the First Colorado in-
fantry to be returned from Manila to
the United States cannot be granted by
the war department. It was said by
officers of the army yesterday that
such requests had been frequent from
soldiers of volunteer organizations who
enlisted to fight, but did not enlist for
garrison duty. The desire of this reg-
iment to return home was simply the
desire of other volunteers.
Nothing could be done. an ofl‘iccr
said, until Congress met and provided
some kind of a force to take the place
of the volunteers.
The subject of reorganizing the ar-
my with a View to securing an ade-
quate force for the new possessions of
the United States hasalready received
the serious consideration of the presi—
dent. the secretary of war and others
of the army, and the president will
make recommendations to Congress on
this subject.
It is probable that he will recommend
an increase of the army to something
like one hundred thousand men, otat
least seventy-five thousand.
Bu virus at. Wailingtord.
VVallingford, Nov. 2.—The biggest
robbery which has taken place in this
vicinity for several years occurred here

tcred the house of F. E. Simpson and
stole jewelry valued at about $1,500, 820
in cash, valuable papers, considerable

monds. _
The burglars ‘evidently knew their
ground. The members of the family
11 ere all away and the burglars escaped
long bef01e the robbery “ as discover-
ed.
There is no clue to the identity of the
thieves.
Postm aster Under Arrest.
Concord, N. 11., Nov. 2.—Frank E.
Foss, postmaster at Hill, has been ar-
rested upon the charge of embezzling
$6,000 belonging to the government.
His failure to make customary
monthly remittances led to an investi-
gation, and his arrest followed as a. re-
sult.
Foss is the owner of a general coun-
try store, and, it is charged, issued
money orders to himself as an individ—
ual trader and remitter, payable to
banks In various parts of New Eng-
land.

Porto Rica“ Currency.
Washington, Nov. 2.—An important
question which occupied the attention
of the cabinet yesterday was that re-
lating to the currency of the island of
Porto Rico.
Te fluctuating rate of exchange be-
tween the island and the United States
and on the island itself between the
peso and the dollar, has greatly hln«
dered the transaction of business, and
this notwithstanding the fixing of the
ratio at the custom house of two pesos
to one dollar.
Many complaints have been received.
both from Porto Rican business men
and from New York houses engaged
in the trade.
The treasury department has not yet
made any official investigation of the
financial situation in Porto Rico, and
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip, will go
to San Juan on or before November 2’)
to look into the matter.
No definite action was taken yester-
day by the cabinet toward the settle-
ment of the currency question of the
island further than to refer the whole
question to Secretary/Gage for investi-
gation.

Delay in Occupatlon of Cuba
.Washington, D. 0.. Nov. 2.—After

Secretary Alger made" the following
statement in regard to. the military oc-
cupation of Cuba:
“It has been decided not to send
troops to Cuba until the yellow fever in

soldiers there now might result in con-
siderable loss of life. The occupation

December 1, and will be completed by

PUSSY IN OUR NAVY.
The Government Makes Regular Appro-
pr iittions for the tints.
“liken Major‘ General Merritt sailed
from San Francisco he asked the gov-
ernment authoritics for three cats to
take 1,0 Manila. Probably the trio of
Ame "econ felines are new teaching
-e habits to their misguided fel-
lows .of the islands, for it was Major
General Merritt’s intention to send
them ashore when he landed. The
cats came 110111 the commissal'y depot
in San Francisco, and their progeni-
tor may be seen there any day, busicd
among the barrels and boxes or dozing
lazily in some snug corner.
It is not generally known, says the
San Francisco Chronicle, that the gov-
ernment spends several thousands of
dollars annually for the maintenance
of cats, but the accounts of the United
States depot commissaries prove it.
In every storehouse there are from
one to five of the animals, and their
rations are provided as carefully and
regularly as those of any of the gal-
lant soldiers.
They are not fed on scraps, nor are
their individual tastes disregarded. as
are those of the enlisted men. but
they are allotted so many pounds .of
choice beef or any other delicacy their
palates may desire. Of course they
may have as much game as they wish,
and the store‘houses seldom fail to fur-
nish an unlimited supply of rats and
mice. That the cats save many times
their cost of support is well known,
as such supplies as crackers, cheese,
bacon, flour and meal are much sought
after by the rodents.
Some time ago a new attache of the
warehouse procured a terrier and in-
stalled him in the territory of “The
Colonel,” who is the father of the ani-
mals Major General Merritt took with
him. The next morning the dog was
.found beside two dead rats, badly
,scarred, while “The Colonel” guarded
2 five with a pride that spoke in the se-
, vere arch of his back and lhis loud
' _m2eows.
The terrier was forthwith
removed.
