given out that his Illness was merely due li
declining years. He steadily grew weaker
however , und had spells of sernl-consclous
ness and of delirium. A consultation o
physicians was held August 20 and the :
agreed that Mr. Bayard was suffering fron
nrtorle-colorosls and a general breaklni

During the first few weeks of his lllnes
Mr. Bayard was able to sit up , but as tin

Much of the time he was In a semi-con

NEW YORK. Sept. 28. Among the passengers
songers who arrived today on the stcamci
City of Washington from Havana were Dr
Jose Congosto nnd Captain Fred Shnrpe o
the Mcrrltt & Chapman Wrecking company
The City of Washington carried n smol
cargo , composed chiefly of cigars nnd to
bacco , Dr. Congosto declined to talk. Hi
will Ball for Havre on the French llin
steamer October 1. Captain Sharpe wa
greatly pleased to leant that the Spanlsl
cruiser Maria Teresa had been floated am
taken to Guantnnarno. Ho thinks the col
Her , Mcrrlmnc , sunk In Santiago harbor , cai
bo floated.
Later Dr. Congosto said : "The evncua
tlon of Cuba by Spain Is n matter of time
but when I left Havana everything wn
progressing well. 1 do not care to cnte
Into all the reasons for the delay , but on
of the principal causes Is the fact that w
have over 6,000 sick who must bo taken car
of and cannot be left behind.
"Tho problem of the future of the Islam
Is a difficult one , nnd I have studied It with
out prejudice , and as n result of this stud
of years I bcllevo that It Is a social probler
and not a political one. Of course , politic
will enter Into the solution , but the grcn
question Is how to bring the most prospcrlt
nnd the greatest happiness to the people o
Cuba. H Is probable that there will bo
largo emigration to the Island , nnd tha
emigration may assist In solving the prob
lem. Of course , a difficulty will be met 1
view of the dangers of fever nnd the ell
mate. "
No IlcconcciitradOM Left.
Dr. Congosto was asked as to the condl
tlon of the rcconcentrados.
"Thcro are no reconcentrados now , " h
answered , with a smile.
"What has become of them ? " was the nex
question.
" ' "
"They're gone.
"Where ? "
"God knows , " was the reply.
"Do you mean to nay that they arc al
dead ? "
"That probably explains It better than
can. It Is a subject which I prefer not t
discuss. "
j When asked ns to the establishment of
now navy for Spain , Dr. Congosto nald
J "Spain Is still a great country , and she ct pb
to have a great navy and prpbably vrdl. '
DlecuEusing the fall of Santiago and th
surrender of General Tornl , Dr. Congest
said : "There were brave soldiers at Sanli
ago , and If their leader lacked courage h
d crves to bo punished. Santiago shoul
not have fallen as It did , and if Tornl ha
not entered Into negotiations With the eneru
It Is likely that there would have been
different story to tell today. It Is not tru
that the Spanish army there lacked supplle
and ammunition , for they had plenty c
both , which they turned over to the Amerl
cans. If Toral had pushed forward , Instea
of Retreating towards the city , ho ccrtnlnl
would have caused a repulse. These ar
things which ho will have to explain. "
Dr. Congostb hopes that whqn Jits dutle
