Praaldont of tha Spanish Ooramlaalon. referred principally to the (infla tion of tho Importation from th United State of provisions for the reconcentrados. The American Insist that the heavy Spanish cus toms duties should not be Imposed on supplies hat are Intended for distribution among the poor, that sooh supplies should be admitted free of duty, and that they should be distributed fry the Americans. It is said that the note Cars no opposition to the Spaniard assisting la tha work of distribution, provided the Amer lean hare control. Tha Comal affair Is worrying the commission wine to the pressure that has been brought to Bear by the Red Cross Society, which owns tha also of provisions on board that Teasel, and also by tha precise Instructions from President McKlnley. who la eager to carry out his polloy f feeding tha reconcentrados. It la not yet known what reply the Spanish Commission and Captaln-Oenera) Blanco will (sake. The Spanish Tlew of the Comal dispute la that tha dutiaa Imposed by Marquis Montoro, tha Autonomist Secretary of Finance, were 1st led In accordance with the existing: regulation. The authorities, however, were ready to give all tha help they could, oven to paying the duties If tha provisions were distributed by Spanish agent. Tha American Commissioners do not think that tha porta of Bahia Honda and Juearo, Iwhloh were recently granted by the Spaniard for the free Importation of food, will answer the purpose. Juearo. especially, is too far way andtoounlmportant. Havana la the port required for bringing In supplies, owing to the condition of the people in the province. It Is also bald to be naceesary that food should be Imported by way of Matanxaa to meet tha re quirement of tha sufferers in that province. Tha Spanish plan of beginning thaevaouatlon at Cuba In tha sast does not meet the approval of tha American Commissioners. Ths correspondent of Tut Htm Is In a posi tion to say that the Americans will demand that Havana be first evaluated. The first draft of tha American note touching the evacuation baa been prepared, but tha Commissioners are awaiting a reply from Washington regarding tha Spanish proposal. It Is expected that the Washington authorities will shape their reply I according to their readiness to send troops here, and according to their judgment a to the right time to have them occupy the city with out running the risk of a yellow fever epidemic Ona material difficulty will be the transpor tation of tha 10.000 sick Spanish soldiers on ths Island. Thar will have to be sent to Spain on special transport. The Spanish authori ties are reluctant to send the troops home with none other than summer clothing, as tha weather will be cold when they arrive. Tha clothing worn by the soldiers here is entirely unsuitable for the climate of Spain. Objec tions auoh as these will probably be advanced by the Spaniard against any demand for a qulok evacuation. xi Lueha, saya that tha American commission has Informed tha Washington authorities that whan American troops are aent here they should not be allowed to occupy the barracks or other place that have been occupied by the Spanish soldier, as they are fool of yellow lever. In the opinion of the Commissioners, special wood house should be brought from the United State for the occupation of the troops. The paper ahK says that tha Commissioner nave asked for a money credit to enable them to feed and help American citizens in Cuba. The Commissioners are the constant re cipient of courtesies and enthusiastic demon Istrations from the Cuban people. Last night a Cuban band serenaded them at tha Salon Trocha. playing "After the Ball." "Yankee Doodle," and " The Star-8pangled Banner." Some comment was caused here by a curious rumor that Admiral Sampson was born at La Corufla, In Spain. The local papers this after noon denied the rumor, aaying that ha was born at Palmyra, N. Y. In order to prevent the gathering of crowd around the hotel of the American Commission ers, the police have stopped the usual weekly serenades by the military band at the Yedado Park. Mr. Jerome, the British Consul, had a long conference last night with the American Com missioners about the importation of food free of duty and the case of the Comal. It is evi dent that much of the friction over tho Comal could have been avoided If the first step of the Bod Cross when the steamer arrived here had been to notify Mr. Jerome, who waa acting aa American Chsrgo d'Affaires. Mr. It. P. Porter. President McElnley's special Commissioner, has given to the press a speech made by him at Cicnfuegos. at a meeting in his honor at the Club Llceo. He first said that his mission to Cuba was merely to study tho re sources or the country in order that they might be developed and Increased. He hoped that all lovers of Cuba would aid him In his work. He added that he had recommended tho free importation of cattle, not only for agricultural work, but also as a means of furnishing food to the people. He bad also made a similar recommendation re garding agricultural tools and maohlnery for tha Industries, especially for the large sugar states. Mr. Porter declared that the cooperation of Spaniards and Cubans alike was necessary to the plans of the United States for the develop ment of Cuba. He added that it waa porfeotly well known throughout the world that the United States did not Intend to annex Cuba, gad if annexation should come in the future it would be by tho will of the Cuban people ex pressed In a petition addressed to the United States. Mr. Porter saya that the people of the city of Cicnfuegos Impressed him most favorably. Hefior Fabto Freyre. Governor of the province of I'lnardol Bio, told Tin Sun correspondent to-day that the tobacco crop was ruined In the Vuelta Abajo district, and that .the output would not be more than half of that of last year. The main cause of the ruin has been the seizure of oxen by the Spanish and Cuban soldiers, which had prevented the proper til lage of the fields. The tobacco dealers, most all of whom are Spaniard, are strongly In favor of annexation. They elaim that the present American tariff on Cuban tobacco will kill the Industry here. They also assert that the export dutloa are too high. The Diarin dt la Marina, a Spanish organ, lay till morning that the Cuban have been deceived by the Americans, and to-morrow a pamphlet will be issued, algned by A la bar a Yglesla. a Spanish writer, under the title of " Cuba for the Cubans."

Contracts for the con struction of the torpedo-boat destroyers aad torpedo boat authorized by Congress at Its last session, bids for which were opened a month age, war awarded to-day by Acting Secretary Allen. The delay was occasioned by the effort to decide what bidders should be favored, and the Navy Department finally made np Its mind to dispose of the matter without giving opportunity for more concessions to certain bidders. When the plans submitted by the bidders were examined It waa discovered by the Naval Board on Construction that in a number of oases the shipbuilders had elimi nated certain machinery fittings from the plan prepared by the department and submitted the curtailed or revised plana as their own, at lower figures than those made on the un changed plana of the department. After considering the matter the Board on Construction recommended to Acting Secre tary Allen that contracts be awarded to bidden named, provided those bidden would agree to make changes In their plana suggested by the board. Nearly all the bidden agreed to make the changes. The Herreshoffs of Bristol, B. I., declined, however, to modify their plana, and as a consequence the Board on Construction to-day recommended that the contnets for two boats which were to be given to the Herreshoffs should be awarded to other bidden. This rec ommendation was followed by the department, and one of the boat will be built by the Colum bia Iron Works of Baltimore and one by the Oas Engine and Power Company of Morris Heights, N. T. Contract were awarded on all except two of the torpedo boat, the Barney nnd the Kiddle. These will go to the Bath Iron Work of Bath, Me., If that concern accept condition proposed by the Navy Department. It ha not accepted, and may not do so.

Graham has received an order from Washington direct ing him to send home two battalions of the First Delaware. Delaware will have her full quota In the service with the single battalion, the State being entitled to about 400 men un der tbrrapportionment. There areonly eighty eight men to each Delaware company Instead of 103, as In the more populous States. Capt. Carl F. Hartman. chief of the Signal Corps. 1 engaged In making experiments with the acetylene gas signal lamp. On Monday he sent Lieut. Chandler with a detachment of the Eleventh Company across the Susquehanna to the foothills of the Blue Bldge Mountains, sev eral miles distant. The men are mounted and their apparatus Is being pack ad along the sides of the mountain on mules. At night they com municate with the corpa at headquarter by means of the acetylene lamp and in the day time bv the heliograph and by wigwagging. Capt. Hartman aays the tests thus far have been very satisfactory, the reflected flashes from the gas jets being similar to the search light. Uncle Sam has cut some of the red tape in the Hospital Department by directing the Quartermaster at the hospitals at CampMeade to pay commutation money to patients leaving on furlough. This hss been done heretofore by an officer of the Commissary Department, and often put the soldier to unnecessary trou ble and Inconvenience. A man who gets a fur lough at, the hospital receives $1.50 commuta tion for every day he travel In addition to his transportation. Col. Hubbell. 201 st New York, has promoted Sergt.

Tllllng hast Is In Washington to-day arranging the affaire of the volunteer regiments from New York that were mustered Into the United States service for the war. He had a confer ence with several officials about adjusting the accounts of the State and the Federal Govern ment.

Ha Criticises Volunteer OMeers for Care lessness In Not (living Their Mea Regn lar Furloughs on Which They CeaM Get Back Put and Transportation Home. Brlg.-Gen. Wallace F. Randolph. U. 8. V., aad Lieutenant-Colonel of the Third United States Artillery, has been detailed a the ohlef mus tering officer for the Htato of New York. Under orders from the War Department Oen. Ran dolph opened his headquarter In the Army building yesterday. In the work of mustering out New York Ht.it e troop he will be assisted by the following staff: Major J. H. Calcff. First Artillery; Major Charles A. Cool Idge. Seventh Infantry; Capt. L. M. Brett, Second Cavalry: Capt. William Lassl tcr. Sixteenth Infsntrr; Capt. Kl bridge B. Hills, Fifth Artillery; Lieut. C. 8. Sorley. Six teenth Infantry: Lieut. Georgo W. Gatcbell. Fifth Artillery : Lieut. John J. O'Connell. Twenty-first Infantry; Lieut. P. 11. Ward, Seventh Artillery. Cant. C. 0. Treat. Fifth Artillery, will net aa Oen. Randolph' private secretary. According to order from tho War Depart ment published yesterday Oen. Bandolph. Ma jor Coolldge. and Capta. Hills and Ijisslter will attend to the mustering out work in New York : Capt. Brett will be stationed In Brooklyn, and Lieut. O'Connell In Buffalo. Another of Oen. Randolph' assistants, not yet named, will be sent to Troy. Before any of the regiments In the State are mustered out tho rolls, books, and records of each command will be gone over and put In shape. Oen. Bandolph said yester day that the rolls and records of some of tho regiment had been carelessly kept and a bad tangle in accounts and records of requisitions for supplies had resulted. He said that while he and hi assistant were straightening Out thing the men of the regiment designated to be mustered out would be furloughed. Where a command has served on foreign soil the men will receive sixty-day furloughs. The men of tho command which have not left the United States will get furloughs of thirty days each. This means that only tho men of tho Seventy-first Begiment will get sixty-day furloughs. If it happens that the officers of other commands have furloughed thoir men for a longer time than thirty days, the order must lie revoked and a new one issued. The men of the Seventv-flret are now on sixty-day furloughs, having been ordered to report at Camp Illack on Oct. 27. The men of all the New York regiments which have returned wore furloughed orally. Tho men were assembled In their armories and told by the commanding officers that they might go away and return on a certain day. Such n furlough Isn't worth much to men who have no money and whose homos are at a dis tance from New Y'ork, or to thoo who lived in lodging, which were given up. whon they went to war. It does not enable them to get trana portatlon from New York at the Government's expense, and it doc not enable them to get any back pay that may be duo them. Gen. Bandolph made thane oral furloughs the text of nomo remark yesterday which moy be of value to volunteer officer. He said : " From what wo have learned thus far. the records and books of most of the New York regiments arc in bad shape. The tangle Is. of course, largely due to the carelessness or Ig norance or lioth of those who kept them. It will tako some time to get thing straightened out. In the meantime the men will be fur loughed. but all furloughs will be written and not oral. By presenting these written fur loughs to tho proper official the furloughed men can get thoir back pay. and those who do not live In New York or In the places where their regiments happen to be now can secure transportation to their homes and commuta tion of ration. " Without desiring to eritlciso any volunteer organization. It is true. I think, that the volun teers have been the ones to most severely orlt Iclse the administration of the War Depart ment. I have yet to learn of a single regiment of regulars to complain of it inability to get rations or medical stores or other supplies Be couse these supplies were not to be had. The records and books of regiments In this State that wo have looked at thus far convince me that, hod the officers taken a little more pain to familiarize themselves with the 'red tape 'of which the volunteer complain, the men would have suffered much less hardship. " Take tho matter of furlough, for example. When one of the regiment from this city got back to Its armory the Colonel, addressing his command, said: " ' Boys, you'ro all furloughed. It's away and have a good time and report at' he men tioned the place and the time, but it (spot well, perhaps, to go into particulars, for I do not care to mention tho regiment Many of the men had no money, many lived at a distance from New York and others had no homes here. They had received no pay for some time. When they asked their officers how they were to get any money and how they were to get home, the officers replied something like Oils: '"Why, you're on furlough now. AB you've got to do in to go down to the Army building amf they'll tlx you up down there with every thing hack pay. transportation, and new clothes.' " Some of the men called here. I'm told, and they wore greatly surprised when some one In the Deputy Quartermaster-General's office asked them to show their furloughs, upon which transportation and clothing ana com mutation of rations could he furnished. They were equally surprised, I'm told, when the Paymaster refused to pay them unless they produced their furloughs. " A Quartermaster, or a Paymaster, or a Commissary In tho United States service has to show a voucher for every disbursement of every name or nature that he makes. If he cen't produce his voucher he must make good out of his own pocket the disbursement. He can't take a man's word for something, he can't take any army uniform as a voucher. Swin dlers ana rascals have undertaken to hide their swindle behind the army blue. Only the other day I read of an instance of this right in your own city. "Tho officers to whom thee volunteers ap plied could do nothing hut refuse to grant the requests. The men drifted away. Some of them were ill and went to hospitals, other went to friend and other, perhaps, became object of charity. Maylie some are now among the missing, sought by anxious friends and relatives. This is the caso with many other volunteers They a well a the New York men, would have nothing to justly complain of now If somebody had known enough to tako hold and hang on to the ' never ending red Gen. Bandolph was In command of the artil lery forces at Santiago, and for his bravery and gallantry there he won a Brigadier's star. He and his assistants here and at other plaoes in tho state where the volunteer regiments are now will straighten out the books and rolls of each company of each regiment and then the mustering out will begin. The Second New York's headquarters are at Hand Lake, near Troy, and the Sixty-fifth Is In Buffalo. DB. BUIDEKOPER OUT OF SERVICE.

The tent had shown signs of weakness tar an hour before It went, and was deserted by cooks and waiters, conse quently no "no was hurt. Scarcely a dozen oc cupied tentai were blown away. There are so many vacant tents In sll ths camps that the men. suddenly exposed to tho storm by the destruc tion of their tents, found new shelter qnlokly and escaped with only a slight wetting. There wss little or no suffering In the camp on account of the rain and cold, owing to a distribution late lsst night of extra bedding and thick clothing. In the hospitals the only Inconvonlenoe felt was due to the leakage of a few of the canvas wards. This wss remedied by moving the cot as soon as a leak was dis covered, and, aa hardly a ward In either hos Sltal Is full, there was not much trouble in nding a dry spot.

He Tells the Foreign Office, aad They Will Bash to Beep 1'e Oat-MIs Specific Plan Is to Give Coaling Station to All Who Apply for Them. WASHtNdTON. 8pt 23. Gen. Weyler has sent a statement tothe Foreign Office In Madrid outllr.lng the coarse which he savs should be Pursued in the disposal of the Philippines. In which he says: "Tha Spanish Peace Commission will go to Paris with a full knowledge and roeoanltlon of the fact that at least the bay and city of Manila are lit th hands of the Americans and that they are In control no fat as that portion of (he Philippines Is concerned. It Is also well known, or at least it should bo at this time, that the central province of the Island of LuMon are practically controlled hy the Insur gents, the followers of Agulnaldn, and that the rest of the archipelago Is In tho undisputed possession dfid control of Spain. In mv opin ion by bravely sustaining ourselves in this state of affairs our Peace Commllnner should be able to secure ah agreement worthy of our dignity and favorable to our own Interest. The Island ape by no means lost to Spain, for she exercise jurisdiction over the vast ma jority of thorn, and that right should bo boldly set forth snd maintained. ' It Is not wise ht this moment. In particular, to attempt to subdue Agulnaldo and hi fol lower hy force of arm. lnce by that mean If would De made to appear that we had been forced to subdue insurrectionist In the islands and that Spain Is not in authority j moreover, any attempts which Spain made to suppress the Insurgents might lie baffled by the aid of .he Americans either secretly or openly, and In any event it would lead to the Impression that we were not the masters of the archipelago. "To mute any false step which would cost any concessions or the loss of the Island of Luzon would he the climax of many errors which have been committed In our colonial poMpy. Our Peace Commissioners should de fend with all the energy at their command the right of Spain to dispose as she may desire of her loyal provinces in the Philippines. It should be carefully guarded that there Is nothing Inserted In the treaty of peaoe which ?y In any way prohibit or prevent Spain rom ceding by sale or exchange any portion of her territory In the Philippines to anv for eign power. If Spain energetically defends this right and at the name time convinces all Europe thst really all of the powers should have port nnd coaling stations in the Chinese sees, and that they can acquire them in the Philippine archipelago by dealing directly with Spain, it will be one of the greatest triumphs which can be accomplished by the Paris Peace H mission, and one which will be of great imatlo Importance and of vital interest to n. It Is unwise thst we should have In the Phil ippines one foreign power alone : It would be dis astrous to Spain to nave tho Americans in par tial possession of Luzon, but there would be no danger In having all the foreign powers in possession ono would prevent the encroaoh ment qf the other. Those of our possessions In the Philippines whioh we shsll retain will In the future prosper and remain tranquil un der a new colonial policy which will De pro mulgated and Carried out." A BTABNINO TO CABTBLAB. He It Informed That the Anarchists Intend to Bill Him. Speeiat Catte Dttpaldt lo Tsrs Bum, Maobid, Sept. 23. Belter F.mlllo Castelar, the well-known republican leader, has re ceived an anonymous letter bearing the Lon don postmark Informing him that he has been selected as a victim by the Anarchists. Oen. Toral. who surrendered Santiago to Oen. Shatter, had an audience to-day with the Queen Regent. Gen. Toral was not In uniform. Setter Glron, Minister of the Colonies, says he believes that the repatriation of the troops In Cuba will be completed by the end of October. Oen. Pando, who recently returned to Spain from Cuba, has addressed a letter to Oen. Corres, Minister of War. thanking the Minister for defending him in the Chamber of Deputies against the accusation of a Deputy who alleged that' Pando had appropriated a considerable sum of public money to his own use. Gen. Pandp says In his letter that he nevor was In chnaSe of any State funds and adda that the Minister of War and Captain-General Blanco have an exact account of the moneys he ex pended in Cuba. The Cabinet at the council held last night discussed the question of raising money with whioh to cover the expense of bringing back to Spain the Spanish troops in Cuba and Porto Blco. It was represented that the sum of 100.000.000 pesetas (S19.300.000) would be re quired for the purpose and an Issue of bonds for that amount was proposed, but the matter was hot settled. THE EVACUATION Or CUBA. It Is Mot Expected That Any Spanish Troops Will I.enve Before Mov. 1. Washington. Sept. 23. It was said on offi cial authority to-night that the evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish troops Is not likely to begin before Nor. 1. Vory little communica tion is had between the Government and the Havana military commission, but from what the Administration has learned it Is believed that the negotiations will not have reached a stage before the end of about five weeks when the withdrawal of Spain's soldiers can begin, and the first step In tho evacuation may be de layed evon beyond that time. The garrisoning of Cuban posts with Amer ican troop Will not begin until the withdrawal of the first Spanish troop is effected, and If the evacuation is delayed as long a now seems likely the serious problem of the health of our army In Cuba during the rainy season will be disposed or. The most healthful season will begin in December, and troops can bo sent to the island in that month with reasonable as surance that no serious epidemic of disease will follow. t Acting Secretary Meiklejohn said to-nlgnt thst the report published to-day that peremp tory orders had been sent to the Havana Com mission directing it to demand the instant evacuation of Culm by tho Spanish military forces was absolutely untrue. Theoommltslon has plenary powers, he said, and It Is being al lowed to proceed In Its own way and In Its own time, under the original Instructions of the President and the State Department. BRYAN BBBS M'KINLBT AOAIN. Tells a Frlead That He Intends to Stick to Soldiering for Some Time. Washington, Sept. 23. Col. William Jen nings Brysn of the Third Nebraska Volunteers snd Gov. Holcomb of that State made another visit to the War Department this morning and later called ut the While House. They arrived there just after Secretary Gage, the sole repre sentative of the Cabinet in tho city, arrived for his semi-weekly official conference with the President. Tho conference between the President and his Nebraska visitor lasted n little more than an hour, and at Its conclusion Oov. Holcomb said they bad talked with tho Presldeut over s proposition to reduce the size of the Nebraska regiments, so that the sink snd married men could be mustered out. l( nder the plan to reduce t he nam bor of volun teers In the service to 100.000. Nebraska's quota would bo about 1.131 men. The Flrat Regiment, now at Manila, and the Third, at Jacksonville, were recruited up to their full strength of 1.320 men each, or a total of 2.052. The Governor therefore suggested that the strength of e0h company be reduced from the maximum of lOtl unlisted men to 81. Till ho thought would enable those In both regiments who Were desirous nnd deserving of muster out to go at onoe. The Second Keglment is now on furlough, to be mustered out the middle of October nnd some of its men wish to reenter active service. It ws proposed by thn Gover northst these men take the place of others in the First and Third regiments who wish to re turn to their homes. The President took the matter under consid eration and it will be referred to the War De partment officials fur its decision. Col. Bryan is oh a ten days' leave of absence. Gov. Hol comb said that no application had been made for mustering out Col. Bryan's regiment and he denied the report that Col. Bryan would resign from the service. Qol Brysn did not leave the city to-night, hut will probably uo so to-morrow. He spent the night with friends. Oil. Bryan told a personal frisnd to-day that he had authorized no one to say that he would resign his commission, and that he did not expect to leave tho service In time to participate in the campaign.

MeCook to Serve Col. Sexton Commends Gen. Alger. Washington, Sept. 23. The namo of Major Gen. Alexander McDowell MeCook. retired, waa added to-day to the commission to Investi gate the army management. The selection of Gen. MeCook was credited to Senator Piatt, who told the President yesterday he knew an ezcollent man for the plaoe. He Is one of the famous " Fighting McCooks." and went through the civil war with conspicuous gallantry. Mr. Thomas Llvermoro of Boston, whose accept ance of the President' invitation to become a member was erroneously stated the other day, declined. This leaves the membership at pres ent seven. Several members are in the city preparatory to the assembling of the commission, among them Col. J. A. Sexton of Chicago. Commander-in-Chief of the O. A. B. In the course of a long interview this evening Col. Sexton said: " The work of the commission will be diffi cult nnd unpleasant. It will be a cose of you aro damned If you do and damned if you don't. I would rather be relieved from the commis sion, but as the President requested me to serve I will do so. "Secretary Alger's statements in defense of himself and the head of the bureau of hi de partment may have been unpopular and 111 advised, but I believe them true, nevertheless. Perhaps there was some mismanagement In tho handling of suoh a large army of untrained men. but most of the charges against the ad ministration of Secretary Alger are rot, pure and simple. I believe the people after a sec ond thought will realize that they have treated Secretary Alger unjustly. If we had had tbe enterprising journalist during the four years of the civil war that wo have now. the same ntate of affairs. If not worse, would have been found to exist. "Secretary Alger recently said that many deaths among tbe volunteers had resulted from homesickness. A great many people laughed at that, but I believe It. 1 was a victim myself of that melancholy ailment during the civil war, and lean state that It Is enough to kill anyone. Hod the volunteers who enlisted to fight Spain recalled Gen. Sherman's famous words, they would have known that war was hell, and that its hardships, and not a picnic, confronted them." An Informal conference of Oen. Dodge of New York. ex-Gov. Woodbury of Vermont and Col. Sexton regarding the work of the commission was held to-night. The declination of Dr. Keen of Philadelphia to become a member of tha commission Is an nounced. Capt. Evan P. Howell of Atlanta, a member ". ."'." commission, reached Washington at midnight.
