COMMISSIONERS' WORK.
Maj. Gen. Butler Interviewed
in Charleston. wi
I '
Charleston, .Jan 9.?The Amor- ^
ican commission to arrange for ^
and superintend the evacuation of
M
Cuba with the exception of Admiral
Sampson passed through
Charleston this afternoon en route
for Washington, from Culm.
Maj. Gen. Hutler was toon by a
representative of the Associated
Press and gave some very inter- j ^
esting information concerning
Cuba, the Cubans and the work of '
the commission. He said: "Yes,
I
we have finished our work so far j1
as a further residence in Cuba is |
' necessary. We were ordered to j
, report to Washington by tho sec- j
retary of war, and are now going **
to that city. Our report is not,
; actually finished, but very nearly j
J so, and it will take but a short ^
session or two in the capital to I

have it ready to hand to the pros- j
ident. Of course it is impossible ,

however, that the evacuation of
the island has been very eatisfae- P*
R
tory and no disorders of any kind j
arose. The Spaniard# accepted
the situation gracefully, and acted
in accordance with the agreements
made hot ween the two com missions.
The Cubans, too, conduct
. , i I'
themselves in a becoming manner.
Any disagreeable incidents that ^
occurred were of a poi sons! nature. n<
It is probable that some row# ami
lights took place between Cubans ni
and Spaniards, but they wore al- P
ways tue result of drinking and c
there was nothing like organized ni
violence l?y either faction. The
Cubans are very much elated tha* *l
of
the Spaniards were aent from R
their land, and juhilnlions'Xere to *
be expected. The Spaniurds were,
on the other hand, crestfallen aud tl
easily provoked, but both nation- ^
alities held themselves well in
check, and are to lie congratulated
on their behavior in trying times. P'
Tho evacuation could not have ^
been accomplished with more ex
I
pedition or satisfaction, and the '
commission is well pleased with its
work and hopes it will meet with I 1,1

and the people at largo. I suppose ' P*

Garcia's Faithful Servant.
4'General Garcia," say h the
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record, "had an aged
colored servant who was born a
siaro upon his father's plantation,
and was brought up with him
from childhood. The old negro
bad followed him in all hia ware,
and bad shared hia prison cells
and sat beside his bed when the
general breathed his last Every
time his master groaned he would
groan also, and the death which
came to the oae will not let the
other linger much longer. The
faithful servant does not care to
live now. His interest in life is
gone, and no one would be surprised
if he died of grief within a.
short tinis."
