CUBANS ANXIOUS TO AVOID FRICTIO !
dta. Ilntler of Hvacnatlon Co mm In
ton Tell * of Condition * In Havana.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. Otneral M. 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

General Butler paid a high tribute to
discipline and uncomplaining suffcrlni
the Spanish troops. They endured h

trntlon of the admirable discipline of
Spanish soldiery he said that at one

SAN FRANCISCO , Nov. 20. 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. Wisconsin sent In a d
gallon of chrlsteners , who Journeyed all
way from the Badger state to wKness
event , and they were given the places
honor upon the platform with the rci
sontatlvcs of the state , the city and
great iron works responsible for the i
delivery of the craft to the government.
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

ernor-clect of the state , had been asslg
to remove by means of a guillotine and
Inevitable electric button.

At a given signal the child pressed

announced to the thousands of anxious si

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. Following the presentation of the
a poem , "To the Wisconsin , " was read
the author , Miss Clara Price.
When the big vesiel slid down the v
the war ships'in the harbor fired salutes
there was a terrific din from the st
whistles. The controversy over the klm
wine to be used in the christening
settled thlB morning by the use of two bol
of champagne , one of French make , provi
by the Wisconsin christening committee ,
another of California champagne , provl
by the Union Iron works.
