NO RELIGION IN PUERTO RICO
Father Sherman Tells About the
Need of Clergymen.


Father Sherman, the chaplain of the
Fourth Missouri, contributes an article to
the Messenger of the Sacred Heart, in
which he says: Puerto Rico is a Cath
ole country without religien'-that is to
say, there is little practical Catholicity
here, and no other pretended religion
whatsoever. True, there is an Episcopal.
church in Ponce, but the congregation
does not exceed a corporaIs guard,
though a bishop in quaintest ecclesiasti-
cal attire and most venerable missionary
beard. officiateS. There are fairly good
churches in the principal towns, the
clergy are excellent gentlemen, but they
do not sem to nave any firm hold of the
native people, nor have they any lively
sympathy with Puerto Ricans or Puerto
Rico. They are part of he Spanish es-
tablishment, welded to the idea of the
union of church and state. The Spaniards
here are Catholics. Some Puerto Rican
women are Catholics. The men are le-
gally Catholics, which means that they
are, baptized, married, and buried as
Catholics. l believe that S0anish-Ameri-
can priests from Colorado and southern
California could be of great assistance
here, and new missions are imDeratiyely
demanded"

Anti Tobacco Law In Norway.

Norway has recently enacted a law for

Miss Winnie Davis, daughter Of Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, died at noon yester-
day at the Rockingham hotel, TO which

early part of the social season. She
had been i'll for several weeks, and a
fortnight ago her ailment was dag
nosed as malarial gastrits.

after her fathers death the engage

Havana, Sept l9-Rumors that have
been put in circulation to the effect
that Gen. Wade, president Of the Amer
lean evacuation commission, is i'll with
yellow fever, may be denied absolute
ly. An official meeting Of the Spanish
commission on evacuation was held
Saturday night to consider the form
of evacuation by the Spanish troops
and with the object of acquainting the
American comm ssion with the exact
number and positions of the Spanish
soldiers and the best methods of en-
barking them, Sunday afternoon there
were sent on board the Resolute sealed
documents supposed to contain state
ment of the results of Saturday nights
conference. 1t is understood that it is
proposed to start the evacuation from
east to west, embarking troops at the
ports of Gibara, Nuevitas, Cienfuegos
and Havana. The official statement
Of the number of Spanish soldiers in
the island is said to place the aggre-
gate at 100000, and it is understood
that it is proposed that the men shall
carry with them their arms, ammuni.
ton, m aterial and equipments 1t is
estimated that the end of February
will have come before the evacuation
of the island is completed, as the sol.
diers must embark In Spanish vessels,
1t is suggested that this will be an ad-
vantage TO both countries, the United
States having an opportunity to ac-
climatic its men during the winter
months, as it is proposed that the
American government shall land troops
to occupy each post simultaneously
with its evacuation, not leaving any
post unguarded at any time.
THE PREPARATIONS AT PORTO RICO
San Juan, Sept. 1.-THE work Of the
military commission is practically
over, all arrangements for the evacua-
ton by the Spanish troops and the re-
celpt OF government property having
been determined upon. Admiral Schley
says that if there were transports here
for the embarkation of the troops the
commission could leave for home with
in week. He thinks military gov
eminent will be establishment within
month, unless there Is longer delay
in the arrival Of the transports. All
of the troops will embark from here,
but for sanitary reasons no more will
be quartered here until their depar-
ture begins The attitude of the
American commission has offended
some Porto Ricans, who think
the Americans have not demanded
enough. They have insisted they
should claim the sum Of 100000 al.

Over-Wintsr Camps to BE Established
Between the ThIrty-hr.t aud
Thirty-n tn Parallels

Washington, Sept l7.-Thc military
movements IRE being directed rapidly
toward the assembling Of a large army
in southern stations for winter camps
and preparatory to the military occu-
patton of Cuba and Porto Rico. About
10000 troops are now located in the
south, and orders will be issued send.
ing the First, Second, Sixth, Ninth
and Tenth cavalry from Montauk to
southern stations. The Third cavalry
already has gone south and the First
and Second infantry were yesterday
ordered to Admission and the Eighth
and Sixteenth to Huntsville. This
leaves the Seventh, Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-fifth infantry, the Second
volunteer engineers and companies &
ind II, Fourth artillery, at Montauk.
Within day or two these last remain
ing troops will be ordered south and
Camp Wikoff will be no more.
The purpose is to establish winter
camps between the thirty.first and
thirty-ffth parallels. The major part
OF the army thus assembled is des-
tined for service in Cuba. with much
smaller force for Porto Rico and re-
serve In the winter camps. II is not
the intention, however, TO send the
army Of occupation to Cuba until after
the unhealthful season has passed,
and, meanwhile, the troops will be
put into the best possible condition.
On account OF the desire OF the war
department that no chances shall be
taken In the way Of exposure Of the
troops TO the dangers Of the unhealth-
full season, no Impotence is felt on &C.
count Of the rather slow progress OF
the work OF the commission OF evacua-
ton at Havana. Great satisfaction Is
expressed at the progress being made
In Porto Rico and the evacuation is
expected to occur speedily. but in con.
nection with the occupation Of Porto
Rico the same anxiety as to the health
Of the army is not felt nor are there
similar difficulties in connection with
establishing the government, Porto
Rico becoming at once part of the
territory of the United States.
In assembling and organizing the
army for the occupation of Cuba the
consideration or possible trouble with
the insurgents is not being taken into
serious account. The Havana dis.
patches stating that there has devel.
oped strong sentiment in favor Of
independence and opposition to annex.

the United States, is received with
rather an air Of amusement by officials
Of the administration, whosuggest that

IL IS absurd TO give as a rrasun tor nos
tility on the part Of Cubans towards
the United States that the Cubans are
In favor Of entire independence. The
purpose Of the Cubans to establish q
stable, independent form Of govern
ment Is strictly In accordance with the
terms OF the presidents proclamation,
and, therefore, furnishes no reason for
feeling Of hostility. All the infor.
nation in the possession of the war
department, 1t Is said, indicates the
most cordial relations and harmony Of
purpose between the Cubans and the
representatives Of this government.

leged TO be IN the bank here belonging
10 the government The Porto Ricans
maintain that the money was raised
by the island, hence it should not be
taken to Spain. This point was not
raised by the commission upon the
theory that by raising it field would
thereby be opened which would lead
to endless negotiation and delay in the
transfer of the island. The commits
sion has simply demanded the immedi.
ate evacuation Of the island and pos.
session of all tangible government
property. These demands have been
frankly conceded by the Spanish COM
mission, so that while the meetings of
the commission still continue for the
purpose of winding up the details,
there is nothing of Importance left to
be zone.
