source to give an outline of the position of both commissions XXrhlle the Americans have which are much more precise than those of the Spaniards there Is a diversity of opinion in regard to the Senator Gray is a very ardent Democrat and conse quently belongs4to the party which re pudiates expansion He opposes all an nexation and his opinion therefore 'to tally differs from that of the other four commissioners some of whom would be content with a coaling station at the Phil ippines possibly Cavite while others like Senator advocate the annexation of the whole The Gaulois however believes that the Americans by mutual concessions will come to an agreement and that they will all be largely influenced by Maj Gen Mer ritt's reports on the situation The in structions to the Spanish commission1 still according to the "Gaulois are briefly to noia slble that the conferences at the best have to please the Spanish people and the only hopes entertained are that the Amer icans will not

one cab in passengers and a small cargo composed chiefly of cigars and tobacco Capt Sharp was greatly pleased to learn that th Spanish cruiser Marias Teresa had been floated and taken to Guantanamo He thinks the collier Merrimac sunk In Santiago harbor can be floated Dr Congosto said: evacuation of Cuba by Spain is a matter of time but when I left Havana everything was pro gressing well I do not care to enter into al! the reasons for tlje delay but one of the principsl causes is the fact that we have over sick who must be taken care of and cannot be left behind problem of the future of the Island IS a difficult one and I have studied it with out prejudice and as a result'd this study of years I believe that it is a social prob lem and not a political one Of course politics will enter into the solution but the great question is how to bring the most prosperity and the greatest happiness to the people of Cuba It is probable that thwv will be a large emigration to the Island and this emigration may assist in Solving the problem Of course a diffi culty will be met in view of the dangers cf fever and the Dr Congosto was asked as to the con dition of the reconcentrados are no

of Gen Toral Dr Congosto said: were braveSoldiers at Santiago and if their leader lacked courage he deserves to be punished Santiago should not have fallen as it did and if Toral had not entered into negotia tions with the enemy it is likely that there would have been a different story to tell to day It is not true that the Spanish army there lacked supplies' and ammuni tion for they had plenty of both which they turned over to the Americans If Toral had pushed forward instead of re treating toward the city he certainly would have caused a repulse These are things' which he will have to Dr

trans acted Col Denby was elected vice chair man of the commission and the absence of Chairman Dodge presided over the con ference to day The only important matter brought to tho attention of the commission was a re port by Gen on of the engineer de partment of the army of which he is the chief No statement was called for from him because there were no charges against this department but Gen XVilson being a member of the commission concluded that to furnish one would be an appropriate pro ceeding The document was held for dispo sition by tho full commission and conse quently was not given to the press It is a uetalled statement showing the condition ot tho department on the 1st of last April just before the declaration of war aS compared with Its condition on the 31st of August last after the cessation of hostilities and it deals especially with torpedoes and fortifications Included in it is a letter written by Gen XX'ilson to his subordinates throughout the country just before

rela tions with the Thirty first Michigan the two regiments acting almost as one in fel low feeling and comradeship As a result a large number of men of the irst Geor gia are abopt to make application to en list in or be transferred to the Thirty first Michigan Col Gardener says that he ap proves without further consideration any applications which may be made by the Georgia men1 for transter to the Michigan regiment provided they are indorsed by Col Lawton who commanded the irst Georgia Col Gardener further states that there are seventv three vacancies in the Thirtv first Michigan and that there are also many men in the command who ought to be disenarged by reason of their being married or the sole support of a mother or because they are in the midst of a uni versity course of study By getting rid of discontented men Col Gardener believes that tho tone and discipline of the regi ment will be much improved and the best interests of the government subserved The adjutant general has taken up this question with the secretary of war and an investigation will be made to ascertain whether there is any Iaw which will pre vent the consolidation of the Georgia men with the Michigan regiment It is the best opinion in the department that sit will re quire order to permit Col Gardener to recruit his regiment but if the plan is approved by the secretary of war it is believed there will be no difficulty in con vincing the president of its wisdom Michigan War Notes ing Private Thos Jacobson Company Thirty third who fell ill a day or twa was transferred from here to Detroit tnis afternoon his sicknes as yet undetermined AO RECONCENTRADOS RETIIAIN IN' clb7 Capt It States Infantry who will rquster the Thir ty second Thirty third and Thirty fourth Michigan regiments out of the service will establish his headquarters in rooms 1330and 1333 Majestic building in a few daysHis assistants Lieuts XVren of the Seven teenth Infantry and Ryther ot the Sixth Infantry also Lieut "Col White of the Thirty fifth Michigan as well as the corps now at Camp Eaton who will work muster rolls will move to hese offices Maj Bandholz is still at Camp Eaton but as he has been ordered to join his regiment may tho city Only the hospital and a suffi cient medical force to take sick men will be left at Island Lake Was a Weak Man DR A SANDEN S1R0 POSTPAID) liewr the Wonderful Crown Piano with orchestral attachment at Grinnell Bros Mueic House this afternoon 3 o'clock re concert all are invited THE DETROIT REE PRESS?
