! San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug. 26.--The
people here are becoming little restless
under the delay in the arrangements for
evacuation. They cannot = understand
why it doesn't begin, but their Impotence
is partly due to the fact: that the govern

who are better informed know that the
terms of the protocol are being Carried
out without hitch, and that the Spanish
troops will be deperted. in due time.
