A member of the Cabinet, who was
asked for confederation Of the report,
said: TT would not be unnatural for
Alger to ask to be relieved. in view Of
the circumstances"
When the Secretary called at the Elk
ecutive Mansion one week ago last
Thursday night and presented to Pres
ident Mckinley letter asking for an
investigation Of the War Department
and it's various subdivisions, he inform
ed the President he would leave the
Cabinet at any time the President saw
fit to relieve him. The resignation was
not made out in writing, but WAS ten
dered to the President verbally.
Alger's decision to take this step was
not the result Of hasty action, but the
logical outcome of weeks of unfavor-
able criticism from the press and public
on the conduct of the war. Although
he has endeavored to maintain outward
calm, 1t is known he has suffered Sc
verely under the fire.
Whether or not the resignation will
be accepted is undetermined The
President has the highest regard for
Alger, and believes him to be q worthy
and competent official. Unless the in
vestigation determines the contrary,
the President will probably stand
shoulder to shoulder with his Secre-
tary.

WASHINGTON, Sept. LIT is the
to send to Cuba as a garrison force for
the island about 10000 troops, in addi-
ton to the force now at Santiago under
command of General Lawton.
The organizations which are to COM
prise the Cuban garrison have not all
been designated yet, but it is assured
that at least half of them will be vol
unteers. Within two weeks orders will
be issued for the movement to Cuba Of
the first 10000 Of the permanent garrt-
son, and 1t is the expectation now that
they will sail from the United States
about October 10. These troops will be
followed quickly by others, until the en-
tire force of 10000 has been established
on the island.
istration to await the evacuation Of the
island by the Spanish forces before
sending United States troops to Cuba,
as the indications now are that 1t may
be several months before the Cuban
Commissioners complete their work.
Quite naturally considerable number
Of Spanish troops will remain on the
island until the arrangements for the
REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish sovereignty
over it formally have been concluded.
The rainy season in Cuba Is nearly
at an end and the most delightful sea-
son of the year on the island Is about
to begin. During the late fall and win
ter months the climate in Cuba is not
only enjoyable but healthful, and with
such care as will be taken for the
health and comfort Of the American
| forces to be stationed in Cuba, officials
of the War Department have no fear

| follow the occupation Of the island.

Simmons, as firm as a rock, stayed in

1t is known that Secretary Alger ex-
poets to be INDICATED by the official in
vestigation. He does not think the
blame for camp horrors and misman-
agement of affairs generally can be
traced directly to his door.

days before his departure. But re-

Prominent Republicans In various
sections of the country, however, have
warned the President that the con-
tinued presence Of Secretary Alger in
the Cabinet would result in the loss Of
Republican votes.
The Washington correspondent of the
Herald says: President Mckinley will
probably be able to announce In q few
days the names of the nine men who
will serve on the Military Investigating
Commission, thus bringing 1t up to the
number he at first desired. In addition
to the six, who had previously &C.
cepted, 1t can be said tonight that the
President has selected Charles Stewart
Smith, president of the Chamber of
Commerce Of New York; General Ste
phen D. Lee of Mississippi. and General
Jackson Of Tennessee, a brother of the
late Judge Jackson of the Supreme
Court. 1t is probable that General
Dodge of New York will be made chair
man of the commission.

CAREFULLY ADMINISTERED

The Free Press has from time to
time referred to the able and econo-
mical manner in which ThCs. Hughes
has conducted the office Of county at
torney during his term, thereby saw
ing large bill of expenses to the tax
payers. An instance that is fresh in
the mind of the public where bill Of
costs was saved the people, while JUS
tice was not in the least subserved,
was that of 81. f. Crabbs, who was ar
rested here some ten days ago for col
lectlng for the Pioneer Press without
due authority. In this case habeas
corpus proceedings were entered up
on. At the same time warrant had
been sworn out and served, charging
the young man with petty larceny.
The hearing uron the writ took place
upon Saturday, and was dismissed
and the prisoner remanded back to
the care of the chief of police. The
hearing upon the warrant could not
take place before Monday. In the
meantime the agent of the state re-
formatory at ST. Cloud, where Crabbe
had been confined, and from which
place he was out on parole, arrived to
take possession of him, and Mr..
Hughes as county attorney gave his
consent. The fusionists have at
tempted to work up little capital
out of this, by alleging that the local
court had not been justly treated, and
that the case as returned by the war
rant should have been tried. They
attempted to throw considerable dust
in the peoples eyes, but most signally
failed, as the municipal judge declar-
ed that he did not feel grleved in the
case in the least, the officers had
acted in good faith, Crabbe had been
taken for greater crime, and the re-
formatory officer had priority to the
local court, and the holding of Crabbe
eoould only haze been an expense to the
county, as the st. Cloud official aoou!d
hare gotten him anyaUay.

FOUR VOTES FOR SENATOR
DAVIS.

Every voter in Blue Earth county,
who wishes to see Cushman K. Davis
returned to the United States senate
for another term, has practically four
votes at his command to help bring it
about, by voting the straight Republi-
can legislative ticket.
He can have one vote through Cliff
ford l.. Benedict for state senator:
A second vote through Gilbert Gut
terson for representative.
A third vote through Nels Nyquist
for representative.
A fourth vote through U. G.. Arget.
singer for representative.
The neglect to vote for one of these
four gentlemen cuts down your in
fuence in securing the return of
Senator Davis one-fourth. The cutting
of two of them reduces 10 one half.
Let no personal feeling interfere with
you casting four votes solid for the Re
publican legislative ticket. The gentle

very fine men personally, but remember
