WASHINGTON, NOV. '2<i.-Gen. M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, ..! member of the Cuban evacuation commission, ar rived herc to-day direct from ilavann in response toa telegraphic summons from Presiden! McKinley, and this afternoon he had a two hours' consul tation with thc President at thc White House, Ile made an extended report of tho negotiations for the evacuation, and of tho terms upon which the Span iards hud sigreed to complete ii by January 1. Gen. Butler gave ii ns his opinion that all the Spaniards have met tho American commissioners with reasonable fairness and that then; has been little friction. Some of the claims they have made for compensation for Spanish property have been ridiculous and they will, of course, be abandoned in the end. Gen.lintier denies all the reports of dissensions among the mem bers of the American commission. In sidditiou to this report on thc actu al "work of thc joint commission Gen. Butler gave the. President much valu i able information sis to the general situ i; ation in Cuba, as to the desire of the I Cubans for self-government, 1 lu; san itary condition of Havana and gene rally the results of his observations during his stay there. Gen. Butlcris of the opinion thai the military gov-] crament of thc island must bc contin- j ned for some time, but thal ii should be only sis may be necessary to preserve order. He thinks the Cubans are am bitious for self-government and anx ious to avoid friction with thc Ameri can'authorities. If military control is exercised with discretion he believes there will bc lill Je l rouble. One of thc most troublesome features of the situation is the criminal class and thc difficulty of determining in the case ol'prisoners who are in ! for political offences or fol -Mme. Then; hsis existed ia Havnnsi in ii::: past an oath-bound organization on tin; order of thc Italian Malia, known sis the Nanigo, whigh was a source of terror to tho inhabitants. Une ol'the few commendable acts ol'(icu. Weyler was the deportation of about seven hundred members of this organization to thc penal colony of Cenia. But fears siro expressed that these crimi nals ma}' rei urn or that the Order may bc revived by some of those who were not deported. Cue of the features of ihc situation in which thc authorities herc arc espe cially interested just now is thc sani tary condition of Havan;1.. The ship- ] ment of troops, which has already be gun, and tho existence ol'yellow fever in Havana all thc year around make it absolutely necessary that the city should be placed in thorough sanitary condition. Gen. Butler describes ih'e city now sis si pest hole, filled with un mentionable filth, squalor and destitu tion. The Spanish authorities have, however, agreed to inaugurate thc work ol' putting thc city in sanitary condition with the aid of the American authorities, and work to this end is to begin at once. Gen. lintier paints a dari; picture ol'tlx- destitution among j thc poorer classes, and says ii Avili probably bc necessary for us to furnish sonic aid to the starving wretclu s. Gen. Butler paid a high tribute to thc discipline and uncomplaining suf fering of tim Spanish troops. They eadu.ed hardships, he says, which would have caused American soldiers to revolt. As an illustration of thc admirable discipline of the Spanish soldiers, he said that at one time there vrere 43,000 Spanish soldiers in Havana; yet he never saw or heard of an act of violence, nor did he hear or see a single Spanish sohl le:- intoxicated. Gen. Buller will remain herc several days, and probably have another inter view with thc President. Iii; will then go lo his home in South Carolina, whence he will return in about ten days to Havana. His wife and daugh ter, will accompau} him on his return. This fad leads to iii;* belief lhs:t he may be destined for military service in Cuba, as his present mission expires with the completion of the evacuation. A Regalar Army of 100,000. WASHINGTON, I). C., Nov. 17.-Thc President and Secretary Alger have agreed lo make the same n commenda tion in regard to the increase of thc regular army.

Nov. 21.-Tho inquiry ol a correspondent -.in your paper a few days ago as to thc value and uses to which l he sassafras bush or phial which is so common in all old fields and hedges has attracted this writer's no! ice. The whole plaid is valuable for ils medicinal properties. The root makes an excellenl tea, spicy and fragrant, and has alterative \ irtuestpiite as good as the sarsaparilla. The stalk's have an inner pith that, although tedious to extract much ol'ii. when scraped out and ]?ui into cold waler and agitated fora few moments with a spoon forms a most, thick and tenacious mucilage, retaining a delicate llavoror" ?he smell of thc sassafras, and isa bland and soothing drink in fevers, when thc mouth is dry and great thirst exists, lt is frequently retained gratefully when plain water is ejected. Ii is astonishing how mucilaginous a small quantity of this pith makes a tumbler of water, which becomes thick as gum arabic, watt r. A mere tea spoohful of.thc pith taken oui of thc small green branches of the bush will make three or !<>;.;. tumblers full of thick mucilage; Por Lnllaiueil eyes ?hi - mucilaginous water is very soothing and curative, and lias long boen used in domestic practico for all form i of inflammation of delicate tissues, but is so simple., that il is ignored hythe profession. The oil of sassafras, which is made] from ?he roots as well as other paris of : the plant, makes a splendid liniment 1 for pains and ache.-;, in combination with turpentine m proportion ol: one third '.';' the l'orner to two-thirds of wic j.??-. r.
