If the Frasldent istens to the recommendations of the nllltary commission only a small illce of the troops will reach Havana tarlter .than December. Colonels Lee nd Hacker go so far as recommending that the landing bo made no earlier than forty-fire days. There are two easons for this. The first is that the reather will be muoh Improved by December. Tho second and more im portant reason Is the desire to use 10 warohousos, hospitals or eamps '.hat hare bson used by the Spanish r Cubans. Tills Is tho only way yel jow feror 'can be aroldcd. The com ulssloners urgo the President to .uthorizo them to build orerythtng low. If this anthorlty Is glreu orders or material that aro already written ut will bo at once cabled to the United States, and by Norcmber 1 the material will be here and not more than thirty lays will be required to do all the accessary work. Tho point of disembarkation will lopend upon the nuinbrr of men sent aero. Tho troops will camp in the tills southeast of Guanabacoa, whore plans are already made to care for at east one division, about 8,000 soldiers. If the President deoldes be cannot wait until December, the troops will tare to dtsetnburk In this city, which neans that they will come in direct Ktntact with forer. If tho coming of the troops ean be (elayed until December, aa re com nonded, piers and warehouses can be ullt at Cojimar or at Marlel, probably it the latter place. The most perfect 'umlgatlng plant possible to obtain rill be erected and all supplies which .rrlve tn broken packages will be thoroughly disinfected. After land ng at Marlel troops will be narohed three miles to Guanajay, vhere they will take cars to the Suanabaooa hills. Before they arrlre aborera will hare prepared the camp, .onstructtng floors for the tents and sulldlng 'sewers. The floors will be alsed at least flftoen Inches from tho rround, giving space for the circula tion of air. Excellent water will be piped to the camp at small cost Tho matter of proper food for sol ders Is now recolrlng considerable at tention. It Is safe to predict that hard tack and bacon will be discarded aa the itaple of diet. The improsslon Is growing In tho nlnds of the American commissioners that Spain expocts that the United States will nltlmatoly assist In send .ng tho Spanish troops baok to the jtonlnsula. It may be that tho pres mt vexatious dolaya are caused for the purpose of tiring American patience jntll President MoKlnley will be rlad to send ships in order to ex pedite mattors. At any rate the Span ish commissioners never lose an opportunity to dwoll upon American wealth and Spanish porerty. At the ast joint session this was brought out oy Parado, who said that Spain should oo allowed to tako away all the big Suns protecting Ilarana, boeause the nltod States could roplaco thorn with tut feeling tho cost. The matter has been reported to Washington and it Is quite probable lome arrangement has been made to .end assistance,- olthor without pay or or taking Spanish securities.

FOR FIFTEEN NEW WARSHIPS, A Oreat Xavat Troitram to be Kecom mended to Conxremi. Washihotox, Oct. 17. Tho boat d of experts, which Inoludes the chiefs of all the bureaus of the navy depart ment, has agreed upon a general pro gram and made recommendatlona to the secretary of the navy, whloh will doubtless be approved and forwarded to Congress soon after tho reassem bling of that body. The program em braces the construction of fifteen sea going fighting vessels, of which three are to bo first class battleships of grcator dimensions and tonnage than any now in the navy. Tho battleships aro each to have a displacement of 13, 000 tons, a minimum speed of 18,' knots when loaded to the deepest draught, and an averagospoed of nine teen knots undor ordinary cruising conditions. In determining the speed, due con sideration was given to tho now condi tions that havo arisen in the Paclflo ocean, and tho board decided that speed should be sacrificed to secure steaming radius and coal capacity. All the vessels, however, will be as fast as any war vessels now being construct ed abroad. Tho battlo ships will be capable of sailing 8,000 knots, or the distance between San Francisco and. the Philippine" Islands. Their main batteries wtlfbe composed of four 12 Inch rifles in turrets fore and aft, sim ilar to those of the Iowa. The second ary batteries will mount from fourteen to sixteen rapid 11 ro 0-lnch guns. The auxiliary batteries will be composed of a number of guns of assorted cali bers, both quick fire and semi-automatic. In addition to tho threo battlo ships the program provides three first-class cruisers, each of 12,000 tons displace ment and a apeod of tweutr-two knots thoy will bo covered with heavy ar mor from stem to stern, and armed with four d-lnch riflos In turrets, and ten or twelve 0-Inch rapid fire guna In broadsldo. In their armament it Is proposed to make theso vessels snperlor to any afloat of the cruiser class. There will al&o bo nine cruisers, of which threo will be the second class, protected and armored, and six pro tected cruisers of the third class. All the vessels will bo copper sheathed. One of the Important lessons of the wer with Spain ts the importance of sheathing our naval vessels to protoct them against marine growth, tho accumulation of which in tropical waters is very rapid, re ducing the progress of tho vessel fully 25 per cent, and frequently SO per cent It is unnecessary to nay that all the ressols will bo supplied with the most advanced machinery and engines. The board has under consideration plans for the construction of troop, ships, at least four of whloh will be needed in connection with the West Indies and Oriental territorial acquisi tions. It Is tn contemplation to at once construct three bhlps, each of which will havo capacity for carrying 1,200 troops, with all their supplies and equipage. Ships will also havo to bo especially designed and constructed for carrying artillery and cavalry with their mounts. Aside from the Philip pine islands it Is definitely settled that me uniteu mates must at once pre pare for taking care of ita colonies in tho West Indies, tho Hawaiian and tho Ladrono Islands. Transports will bo requlrod to carry men and supplies, and these must bo immediately con structed. WAR INQUIRY TESTIMONY. A. Doetor Complaint Abont tha I'orto Rloo Commltiary Supplle.

All that had preceded to-day's great meeting was merely preliminary In Its nature, ami most of It In honor of the President personally. To-day, how ever, tho actual jubilee began. Tho weather was cold, dump, with lower ing skies, and a raw wind blowing off the lake compelled people to seek warm corners, but tho crowd was closely packed around tho building fully an hour beforo tho doors were open. Tho exercises opened with a short address by Chairman Charles Truax, of tho jubllco committee, ut the conclu sion of which ho introduccd'thc pre siding offcer, George It. Peck, formerly of KanHus.

You know hlra for what ho Is, wise, patient, kindly, generous, calmly judging that what is right is tho highest statesmanship.

We havo won ships and can nons nnd forts and arsenals. Cities have opened their gates and islands in both hemispheres have welcomed the arms and tho Institutions of freedom. But tho greatest prize wo have won, in Its consequences to its as a people, is tho supremo victory the North and South havo won over each other. Long ago nil sensible and patriotic peoplo in both sections know tho hour would come. To-day wo hall It in the assured faith that henceforth wu march to gether to tho samo music, under the same fing to the samo destiny. Verily this ts the year of jubilee." After Mr. Peck had terminated his address he introduced Mayor Harrison of Chicago, who delivered tho formal nddrcs3 of welcorao to President Mc Klnley and tho strangers who hnd como to Chlcngo to witness tho cere monies of jubllco week.

"Oh, peace, so precious art thou to humanity that our highest Ideal of so cial felicity must over ho thy sover eignty upon earth.

"It was Wellington who said: 'Tako my word for It, if you had seen but one day of war. you would pray to Al mighty God that you might never see such a thing again.' It was Napoleon who said: 'The sight of a battlefield after tho light is enough to inspire princes with a love of peace and a hor ror of war.'

The people of tho United States nt oucu arose tn their might. They argued not, they hesitated not; America hud spoken; theirs was not to judge, but to obey. Oft It had been whispered that we had a North and a South; when America spoke we knew wc were hut one people, that alt wero Americans. It hud been whispered that social and economic lines were hopelessly dividing tho American peo ple, and that the patriotism was re treating before the growth of class In terests and class prejudices. But when America spoke, then: was no ono in tho Innd who was not an American. "America can never doubt tho united loyalty of her whole population nor the power which united Ioyulty puts Into her hand.

"Some weeks ago the czar of tho Russlas said the maintenance of gen eral pcaco nnd the possible reduction of the cxccsslvo armaments which weigh upon all nations present them selves in the existing condition of tho whole world as an ideal towards which the endeavors of all government should be directed; and, In accord ance with those views, he invited all nations to send representatives to an international peace congress, in which thu question of reducing the armaments of tho several countries of tho world, and otherwise preparing somo plnn for the prevention of wars might bo discussed. The czar is moved by tho miseries accompanying war, and by thu distressing drain continu ously made upon the wealth and ener gies of the peoples by preparation for wur. Die militarism of Europe Is a curse second only to tho terror of tho battlefields. In tho present condition of the world, whatever the Immediate measure of huccesi that may at tend the proposal of the czar, It is not to he expected that a perma nent universal peace will be secured, or a goncral disarmament effected. But something may be done; nnd that it, worthy contending for. Tho pro posal for a universal pcaco congress Is an advent, however small, towards what must ever be for thu friends of humanity, for the disciples of reason uud religion, the ultimato goal of their holiest ambition." Judge Spccr of Georgia followed Archbishop Ireland. Ho spoke for the South, but his rcmnrks pertained principally to the history of Spain in America from the discovery by Colum bus to tho blowing up of tho Maine, and the Spaniard's loss of his last foot hold in this hemisphere. FROM THE PRESIDENT. At the end of Judge Spcer's address, which concluded the programme, there wero loud calls of "McKlnley! McKln ley!" The President had turned and was about to leave tho box, but ho tnrncd and came back to tho front He wnlted for a moment, until ex Gover nor Richard J. Oglesby brought tho assemblage to something resembling quiet. Then the I'robUlcnt spoke as follows: "My Fellow Citizens: I have been deeply moved by this great demonstra tion. I havo been deeply touched by the words of patriotism that have been uttered by the distinguished men so eloquently In your prcsonco. It is gratifying to all of us to know that this has novcr ceased to be a wai of human ity. The last ship that went out of tho harbor of Havana beforo war was de clared was an American ship that had taken to tho suffering peoplo of Cuba the supplies furnished by American charity, aud thu first ship to sail into the harbor of Santiago was another American ship bearing food supplies to suffering Cubans. I am sure it is tho universal prayer of Amorican citizens thnt justlco aud humanity and civiliza tion shall characterize tho final sett la ment of pcaco as thoy have distin guished tho progress of the war. "My countrymen, tho currents of destiny flow through tho hoarts of tho people. Who will check them? Who will divert them? Who will stop thorn? And tho movements of men, planned aud designed by tho .Master of men, will novcr be Interrupted by tho Amer ican people." General Dufltcld, of tho Michigan volunteers, and Samuel Gouipcrn, pros tdont of tho American Federation of Labor, also spoke.
