MILES OPPORFH TO SENOING TROOPS IN OCTOBER. The President Adhering to Ills Decision. Regal ar Regiments Demoralized bj Siokuesi. Tho Situation at Havana. Cubans Growing Restless. Washington. Sept. 21.—The president adheres to his decision to send 50,000 or 60,000 troops to eastern and western Cuba in October. Gen. Miles has been making a big fight against such a pie mature occupation of the Island, and he proposes to continue his efforts to prevent the assignment of troops to Cuba for several months. Letters have been received from reg ular army officers who served in Cuba reporting the condition of their com mands, and they agree that the soldiers are In a deplorable physical state. They claim that it will take six or seven months to recuperate troops, and that this can be accomplished only by send ing them to the military posts. Instead of keeping them at southern camps. An example of the danger of the southern camps is afforded by the Fifth infan try, which was assigned to Cuba after a long period in the South. The com mand is reduced In strength by a long sick list. The regiments in this country which returned from Cuba are practically worthless by reason of the large num ber of furloughed soldiers armed with surgeons' certliicates. Men have oih tained furloughs and extensions ar.d used every means of staying away. This is particularly true of the regu lars, and the service is described us well nigh demoralized. Advices from Havana say that there are ten Spanish men-of-war in port and 61,000 Spanish troops, besides 40.000 volunteers there. The evacuation com mission has a great deal of work be fore it, and it is said that its duties cannot be completed before the end of October. There Is very little yellow fever in the city, but there is a great deal of typhoid malariu, which Is frequently fhtai. Huvana is quiet, but the Cubans are showing much restlessness in theii anxiety to have the evacuation begin. There is suffering and some starvation, but the captain general will not per mit the relief stores on board the Co mal to be landed, unless $60,000 is paid In duties. Meanwhile, the British consul gen eral says that infants are dying for lack of the milk and food on board the Comal. One correspondent of the navy department thus closes a letter de scribing the conditions: "Spain dies hard." REFORMS FOR CHINA. Emoeror Declares in I'itvor of Weitern Civilisation. Pekin, Sept. 20.—The reforms lately foreshadowed have been embodied in a rematkable series of imperial edicts which are startling the native offi cials. The emperor has issued a long ex planation of his new policy, declaring that western civilization in many re spects is superior to the Chinese. He Intends to adopt the good features of western civilization, discarding the bad. The most striking edict proclaims the establishment of a poßtal service throughout the empire, and In this his majesty appeals to the people to co operate. as they will thereby aid In strengthening the empire. Another edict confers the right on practically every person in the empire to memorialize the throne, a privilege that has heretofore been confined to the favored classes. Another orders that monthly ac counts of the government's receipts and expenditures be rendered to Pekin and that theße be published. The emperor commands that the edicts be posted throughout the coun try to convince the people that efforts are being made for their welfare. In consequence of British pressure the Tsung-11-Yamen has ordered Huy u-Fen, who obtained the concession for the Newehwway Railroad, to reopen negotiations to obtain the loan for the construction of the line from the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank.
