AGAINST EARLY OCCUPATION,
American Troops Mar Not Reach Havana
Before December.
n AT Air A. Oct. 18. 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.

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

THE DBWBY SUNRISB AT MANILA.
"Wo have heard and nil the world
has heard how Dewey saluted the
morning in tho far off Orient and
lighted up tho lutzy waters of Manila
with such a surprise as they had never
scon before. Wo havo known a Fourth
of July mado more glorious by the tid
ings that enme, telling us how Samp
son and Schley nnd Clnrk and Krnns
and Philip nnd Walnwrtght and tho
bravo sailors behind tho guns and on
tho decks nnd down where the furnucc
fires were fiercely burning, fell upon
'.ho leviathans of Spain nnd sent them
to their doom almost tn the twinkling
of nn eye. Tho army Hnd tho navy,
two arms of that mighty giant, the
American nation, havo In equal meas
ure struck unceasingly for the honor
of their countiy aud for the cause of a
common humanity which, In Its high
est sonso, mc&ns universal justice.
'One name, in tho midst of nil this
pageantry, is In your thoughts and
your hearts speak out before my lips
can utter It William McKlnley, our
President. You know hlra for what
ho Is, wise, patient, kindly, generous,
calmly judging that what is right is
tho highest statesmanship. How sure
ly he knows, as he meets his country
men face to face, that the people al
ways trust tho leader wlio trusts his
own conscience nnd theirs. We cannot
yet Bay that all dangers arc pnst.
Borao storms may come, some waves
roll high about us, but wo. know a
bravo, strong hand 'will hold tho rud
der true
'Six months ago wc welcomed war
tn the thoughtful, solemn spirit which
befits nn appeal to tho sword. To-day
wo welcome peace and all its blessing.
Wo havo given good lives for It, and
every life makes It moro precious. Vic
tory has come to us in tlio fullest
measure. 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. The Presi

wclcomo as ho entered tho building,
mado no formal reply to tho addresses
of welcome, notwithstanding the large
calls that were mado upon him for a
speech Following tho nddress of
Mayor Harrison camo Archbishop Ire
laud of St. Paul.
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
Archbishop Irelaud, who spoke for
tho North, said: "Mr. President, ladles
aud gentlemen: Wur has passed,
peace reigns. Stilled over laud nnd
cea Is thcclaugof arms; from San Juan
to Manila fearless and triumphant
floats the Star Spangled Banner.
America, 'be glad and rejoice, for thu
Lord hath done great things.' Ameri

brate thy jubilee of peace.
"Wclcomo to America, sweet, be
lovod peace. Wclcomo to America,
honored, glorious victory!
"Oil, peace, thou art heaven's gift to
men. When the Savior of humanity
was born in Bethlehem tho skies sung
forth 'Glory to God in tho highest,
and on earth pcaco to men of good
will.' Pence was offered to the world
through Christ, aud when tho spirit of
Christ Is supreme there is universal
peace peace among men, pcucu among
nations.
"Oh, peace, so precious art thou to
humanity that our highest Ideal of so
cial felicity must over ho thy sover
eignty upon earth. Pagan statesman
ship, speaking through pagau pootry,
exclaims: 'The best of things which
It Is given to men to know is peace.'
"War! Is It by cunning clestgu In

of thy victims? Stripped of thy show
and tlnsol, what aro thou but tho slay

tho thousands aye, often by tho tens,
by tho hundreds of thousitndst
"With steady aim and relentless en
orgy, taxing science to its utmost in
genuity, and multitudes of men to
their utmost endurance, whole nations
work day and night fitting them
selves for the quick nnd extensive
killing of men. This tho preparation
for war. Armies mcot on tho field of

men fall to tho ground liko leaves in

ONK DEATH, ONE BEREAVEMENT.
"Reduce to the smallest sacrifice of
human life the carnugo of the battle

is bereft.
"It was Wellington who said: 'Tako
my word for It, if you had seen but one
day of war. you would pray to Al

such a thing again.' It was Napoleon
who said: 'The sight of a battlefield

"Six months ago tho congress of tho

America! 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.
"I look forward to an epoch when a
court recognized by all nations, will
settle international differences, in
stead of keeping large standing armies,
as they do In Europs. Shall wo allow
the words of General Grant to go
forth as the message of America'.1''
THE CZAR'S STEP AN ADVANCE.
"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.
During tho afternoon flvo meeting
were held in different parts of
tho city. A larco meeting at
Studcbakcr hall was addrossed by
Albert J, Bovcrldge of Indianapolis and
President Cyrus Northrop of tho Uni
