It was de Lcided that the head of each department should work out the details of matters pertaining to their branch-f service. The military commissions appointed today to arrange the .. evacuation of Cuba andkPorto Rico will not it i un-' derstood, have anything to do with th civil establishment. The commissions aret composed as follows: For Cuba Major General James F. Wade, Rear Admiral William T. Samp son and Major General Matthew C. Butler. ' . For Porto Rico Major General John R. Brooke, Rear Admiral Winfield S. Schley, and Brigadier General, Wil liam W. Gordon, senior colonel of the Georgia state militia and a veteran of the Confederate army. The laws to -govern Porto Rico, wil be settled with those of Hawaii at the next session of congress.
