General Polavleja , former governor ol

festo declaring his readiness to place himself -
self at the head of a neutral party In Span
ish politics , denounces the "evils existing
In the present political system , " and de
clares that "every department peeds cleans'

His program , therefore , begins with i
"drastic ) purging of the administration" am :
then advocates "reform In taxation , " ant
"purification of the electoral system. " Aftci
pfedglng his "unwavering loyalty to tin
throne , " General Polavleja says : "Spalr

NEW YORK , Sept. 12. A dispatch to the
Press from Camp Wlkoff says : Undei
peremptory orders from General Mlfes prep ,
orations are being made to break up till ;
eamp at once by sending homo all the sol
dlcrs here. This Is entirely contrary t <
what has been the understanding of tin
olllcers In command. General Shnfter salt
last week that 6,000 or 7,000 men would bi
kept hereat least until October , and thli
was suppoBed to have been the order 01
Secretary Alger. An officer said today thai
when General Miles' order came a colegran
was sent him saying that his order wa :
contrary to that of Secretary Algcr , ant
Miles replied :
"Never mind what Alger says , I am Ir
command now. "
That , of course , se''cd ' It , so far as thi
officers here arc conceincd , and unless Gen.
cral Miles' orders are countermanded nex
week will see the practical end of Garni
Wlkoff.
General Bates said : "My orders are t (
send t'lio troops away as fast as trunsporta
tlon tan be arranged. " When asked I
these orders did not conflict with those o
Secretary Alger , ho simply said , "They an
now orders. "
In pursuance of this plan the detentloi
hospital Is being abandoned. All the mei
In this hospital fit to travel are being sen
to New York on the Shlnnecock , and thi
others ore being taken to the general hos
pltal. The general hospital1 Is being clearer
out as fast as possible , but there are 20
or 300 cases that cannot be moved wlthou
danger. Strong frame buildings are no
being erected for the Use of these pat'lentE
These buildings wlir bo finished In two o
three days , and the worst cases will b
moved Into them. Nearly all of these ar
typhoid fever cases , to move which won ) '
cause a frightful mortality. Major Browi
said that he thought there would be abou
fifty cases which could not be moved fo
two or three weeks at least.
DETROIT , Sept. 12. Concerning report
from Camp Wlkoff that the camp Is preparing
paring to break up under peremptory order :
from General Miles , Secretary Algcr salt
today : "There Is nothing now In that
Camp Wlkoff from the first was mostly In
tended ns a detention camp. The purposi
from the first has been to get the soldier
away from there as soon ns possible. Ni
change In purpose Is Indicated by thes
dispatches from my own orders given befor
I left Washington. " Relative to a state
ment attributed to General Miles to "neve

partition of China among the powers. IU

WASHINGTON. Sept. 12. The Navy dc
partmcnt has arrived at what U regard
as a fair and satisfactory settlement of'th
question of awarding the contracts for th
construction of the three battleships.
When the bids were opened It was founi
that for the fast ehlpn desired the Ncnpnr
News company was the lowest. Cramps ncx
and the Union Iron works just above al
within the limit of the cost affixed by th
act of congress. It was the original plan t
award the contracts tn that order. Bu
upon examination of the plans submitted b
the bidders It uas found that the only thor
oughly satisfactory ono was that submlttc
by Cramp , who had simply taken the niter
natn plans suggested bj the Navy depart
inent , which amounted to lengthening th
hull of the ships from fifteen to twenty fee
In order to gain room for the more powrrfi
engines required to drive the ship at
speed of IS 1-4 knots , instead of 16 knot :
as first proposed.
After considering the subject In all aspect
Hie Board of Naval Bureau Chlcl
has Invited the Newport News com
pany and the Union Iron works t
amend their plans so ns to mak
their ships Identical with that proposed b
Cramp. Mr. Scott of the California compan
has agreed to do this already and the rci
rcsentntlvo of the Newport News compan
has verbally agreed to do the same , BO
Is the understanding that each of the com
panics will bo given a contract for one shl |

SAN JUAN. Porto Ulco. Sept. 12. The tw

slon today nnd adjourned until Wcdnesdn >
The American coinmlarlcocrs made know
their position reg.irllng the evacuation nn
transfer of the Island , In accordance wit
their Instructions from Washington. Thcf
Instructions they decline to make publlu .
present , as publicity might lend to cmbai
raasment In negotiations , but the Spanlt
commissioners did not disclose their post
tlons nor the nature of tiic-lr instruction !
They manifested , however , a willingness I
ficcuro as much expedition as possible , an
our commissioners are sntlnded with tl
way which their demands have been Infoi
ninlly received. The adjoutnmmt gives tt
Spaniards tlmo to prepare their repl ;
When that Is concluded Issues will be Joint
and tlio situation will become clearer.
\\hat effect , If any , the appearance i
yellow fever among the troops at I'onco wl
have Is problematical. Should the fevc
spread It would doubtless Induce the Amer
can commissioners to hasten evacuation 1
the utmost , but ns yet there Is not tl
slightest reason to expect an epidemic.
General Urooko says two cases have bee
reported to him and ono death. As soon i
ho learned of this no caused all suspects I
bo Isolated , with a view of preventing t !
spread of the Infecrbn. It Is believed th.
the cafees originated in the Spanish prise
