C Hitler of South Carolina , member of th ' uban Evacuation commission , arrived her oday direct from Havana , In reFfwnse to - olegraphlc summons from President Me Inley. This afternoon he had a two hour : onsultatlon with the president at th tblte 'House. He made an extended re ort of negotiations for the evacuation an of the terms upon which the Spaniards ba < greed to complete the evacuation by Jan tary 1. General Duller gave It as his opln on that all the Spanish troor * will have dc /arteU within the ten days fixed In th .greement. Ho eays the Spaniards hav net the American commissioners with rea sonuble fall-ness and that there has beei llttlo friction. Some of the claims they hav made for compensation for Spanish propert : hava been ridiculous and they will , o course , be abandoned In the end. General Butler denies all reports of dls eonslon among the members of the Amer lean commissioners. In addition to his report upon the actua work of the Joint commission General Dtit ler gave to the president much valuable In formation as to the general situation ii Cuba , the ability of the Cubans for self government and generally the mult cf hi observations during hU stay there. Oenri Duller is of the oplnlcn that the mlllta'r government of the Uland must be con tlnued for some time , but that It enl should bo as vigorous as may be nec saar ; to preserve order. He thinks the Cuban are ambitious for self-government "fln anxious to avoid friction with the America authorities. If military control Is exercise with discretion he believes there will" b little trouble. ' Ono of the most troublesom features of the situation is the crlmlna class and the difficulty of determining 1 the case of prlaoner * who are Incarcerate for political offenses and crime. There has existed in Havana in the pi an oath-bound organization on the order a the Italian Mafia , known at th Xonlgc which was a source of terror to the Inbabl tants.

One cf the features of the sltuatlor which the authorities here are especl Interested just now Is the sanitary co tlon of Havana. The shipment of troops , which has aln begun , and the existence of yellow feve Havana all the year round make It a lutely necessary that the city shou'J placed In thorough sanitary conOtll General Butler describes the city now i pesthole filled with unmentionable I squalor and destitution. The Spanish IhorLles have , however , agreed to the \ of putting the city In sanitary condl with the aid of the American author and nork to this end is to be begun nt o General Butler paints a dark plctur the destitution among the poorer cla and says It will probably bo necessary us to Issue some aid to tbo star wrstches. General Butler paid a high tribute to discipline and uncomplaining suffcrlni the Spanish troops. They endured h ships , ho said , \\hlch would have ca Aroer'can ' soldiers to revolt. As an 1 trntlon of the admirable discipline of Spanish soldiery he said that at one there were 43,000 Spanish soldier !

General Butler will go to his homi South Carolina , whence ho will retun about ten days to Havana.

Today nt Union Iron works another great mai fighting machine was added to the ( lire largo fleet of Pacific war vessels. The vei which slid from the ways today was battleship Wisconsin , the largest of the v sels built for the United States governm by the Union Iron works. The launch of the big vessel was effected at 9:22 : wl out a bitch , and It now rests calmly on waters of the bay. For hours the street cars let down tl loads at the ship yard and all the avallc boats on the bay were pressed Into sen by people anxious to see the baptism of great vessel. Thousands saw the plu from different points of vantage , and platform especially set asldo for the gu of the Union Iron works was crowded Its full capacity.

For an hour before the plunge a IE force of workmen toro away chock a chock which supported the vessel , and t finished their task almost to the mlt of the prescribed time for the launch leaving only one chock to restrain the m ster , and this was the support that II Miss Lucille Gage , daughter of the g ernor-clect of the state , had been asslg to remove by means of a guillotine and Inevitable electric button.

The roar of apple which greeted the final act was aln deafening. The vessel gathered momentuc It proceeded to the water , and after lea\ the ways floated calmly along until brou to a stop in the basin , where the wort completing it will go on. An amusing feature of the launching the wetting of a number of people who v standing on the adjoining beach. The ref of water following the baptism was so g : that the people on the beach could escape it , and many of them were tl oughly drenched. A number of the Wh hall boats narrowly escaped capsizing. P to the launching a gigantic flag of the un measuring twenty-seven feet long and f ( teen wide , waa presented In honor of Wisconsin. The flag was the result of combined efforts of 300 children of Irving M. Scott public school , who , at suggestion of their teachers , commet work upon the flag on October 25 of year.
