O., Oct. 7.—The reports from Havana sent by the American commission are not reas- suring. They have had the effect of hastening war department prepara- tions for the occupation of all forti fied cities in the island before it is determined whether the Paris peace commission will agree or disagree To day the department completed a list of 60,000 troops available for duty in Cuba. The bulk of these is composed of volunteers, there being only about 12,000 regulars. It is possible that not all these soldiers will be sent, but instructicns have been given to have them ready for service on call. The movement of troops to the south will be con tinuous uatil 60,000 are within easy distance of seaports.
