itor of the Tribune:

To the Editor of the Tribune:
Cyrus, Mimi, June IA, 1897.
am this day informed by Gustaf
Skaugstad that his homestead papers
together with office and commission
fees were to him returned involving
the WI sci and se4 sell section 81,
township 1876, range 40, Pope county.
This tract of land was formerly set
tied and improved by VIM. Court.
One Paul Kruger bought said inn
provements and is residing on said
land and has been for several years.
In the spring Of 1896, an agent
went rowing over the towns OF New
Prairie, Nora and White Bear, in
Pope county, stating that he had
things fixed so that he could secure
government title to lands for the first
applicant, independent of anybody,
settler or no settler, and Skaugstad
is one of his victims vs.. Kruger, as are
also Andrew Kjera VS.. Albert Koenig,
John Kiera vs.. Charles G. Begg and
Ole Klevenberg VS.. Claus Begg. The
Beggs and Koenig we're in peaceful
possession of their claims; worked
and cultivated same for number of
years; made their homestead appli-
cation to the local landoffice at st.
Cloud; rendered the legal office fees
and let them rest until the other cases
had been acted upon, regardless of
hearing as per general rules, in
cases where there are more, than one
applicant a hearing should be or
dered,
The attached letter, which speaks
for itself, should be a guide for all
settlers. One Vigdal was induced by
this agent to apply on l6O acres in
New Prairie. There were at the
time, and are yet, three different fam
lilies upon said 100, who are receiving
aid from the town. Vigdal became
almost crazy oyer his acts, and did

United States ambassador, and the Off
cials of the British foreign office declines
to furnish the press with the text of Great
Britain's reply to the suggestions of the
United States monetary commissioners,
though the foreign Office people say it is
in substance identical with the Associated

the result of the meeting of the British
cabinet and that the communication sent
yesterday evening to the commissioners
through the United States ambassador,
was practically a reiteration of the state
ment already made.
A similar reply has been sent TO the
French embassy.
The United States commissioners recog-
nize that their mission has been unsuccess-
full. though they will not admit it, as the.
answer of Great Britain says that coun-
try will be glad to receive other PROPOSE
tons and the commissioners have dccid-

ment as to whether fresh proposals are de-
sirable. But it is not expected that any

New Orleans, Oct. 21.-The fever situa-
tion improved to some extent here to-day
Where yesterday there had been some
thirty cases by l O'Clock, at o'clock to-
night there were only thirty. To-day at
uightfall there had been but two fatalities
reported to the board of health Among
the deaths is that of Sister Sylvester of st.
Joscph's Orphan asylum. She was re-
ported to the board of health yesterday,
and the best Of attention was given her,
but she seems to have contracted a very
bad case of yellow fever, complicated with
other disease, and there was little chance
of saving her life after her case had been
brought to the attention of the board.
The weather this morning was cool and
reports from below New Orleans are to
theeefcect that there was light frost last
night.
Col. 1. D. Ellis of Gov. Fosters staff
said to a representative of the Associated
Press this evening that he had received ad-
vices that there had been frost in st.
Bernard parish and on the outskirts Of
the city last night. The deposit, however.
was slight and possibly not sufficient to
stamp out the disease here. 1t does not
seem at all likely that the fever will con-
tinue here for any length of time, busi-
ness is greatly depressed, but it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that, with the approach
of cold weather, the fever will die out,

spondent of the Daily Mail says: "Senor
de LONE, the Spanish minister at WASH
ington has been instructed to notify the
American government that henceforth fill
clustering expeditions will be regarded as
breaches of International law. Such, at
any rate, is the substance of his instruc.

"A very bad impression has been made
by the news from Havana that a majority
of the important industrial, commercial,
mining and railway and steamship enter
prises in Cuba are being rapidly converted
into foreign companies, chiefly American
and English. 1t is feared that this may
enable the companies to claim damages
from Spain for losses during the war Per-
haps a further reason why they are seek

that Cuban capitalists fear the tyranny,
