jWlthln two weeks orders will bo is
sued for tho movement to Cuba of the
first 10,000 of tho permanent garrison
and it is tho expectation now that
thoy will sail from the United States
atout October 10. These troops will bo
followed quickly by others, until tho
entire force of 40,000 has been
on the island.
Ht is not tho intention of tho administration
to await tho evacuation of
the Island by tho Spanish forces,
sending United States troops to
Cuba, as tho indications now are that
lmay be several months beforo tho
Cuban commissioners complete their
work. Quite naturally, aconsldcrable
number of Spanish jxoops will remain
on the island until the arrangements
for tho relinquishment of Spanish
sovereignty over it formally have been
concluded.
The rainy season in Cuba Is n early
at an end and tho most delightful
season of the year on tho island is
