LIES COMPLAINT.

Some mr:mur when their sky Is clear
And wholly bright to view,
II one small speck Of dark appear
In their great heaven OF blue,
And some with thankful love are filled
II but one streak OF light.
One ray Of Gods good mercy. gid
The darkness Of their night.
In palaces are hearts that ask
In discomfort and pride
Why life is such Il dreary task,
And all good things denied.
And hearts in poorest huts admire
How love has. In their aid
Love that not ever seems to tire
Such rich provisions made.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 1S.-At
their meeting yesterday the Spanish
evacuation commissioners agreed to
tegin the formal withdrawal of their
lines within two days. They will
evacuate Lares, San Sebastian and
Agualdilla In the northwest of the
island, withdrawing towards the CAPT
tai. Under the armistice they could
not withdraw their outposts without
permission. Detachments of the
Eleventh infantry will occupy this ter
ritory and raise the American flag
The abandonment of the other out
posts will follow The Spanish COM
missioners understand perfectly that
the evacuation of the island must be
in accordance with the terms of the
protocol, as soon as transports can be
procured. Transports from the fever
infected ports Of Cuba cannot, they
say, be used to convey unaffected
troops from Porto Rico. The troops
from Cuba and Porto Rico are to be
landed at different ports in Spain. The
Spanish authorities here cannot con
troll the transports in this respect
They must await the pleasure OF
Madrid.
Our commissioners recognize the
force Of this argument, and they are
willing to make reasonable Conces
sions.

Aguinaldo protested entire ignorance
of the autonomous system in vogue
in the British colonies, OF protector
ates and OF American state autonomy.
He said he was unable TO understand
the idea and only understood "abso-
late independence" Personally, he
believed protectorate for the Philip
pine islands was necessary, but he
feared that the people would be dis
appointed in this. He had not studied
political economy, and knew nothing
about the various forms Of govern
ment. He inquired whether Australia
was an American colony, and said he
had never heard of Malay PROTECTOR

Continuing, the insurgent leader
said there was no need or pro
lection for the Philippine islands, be
cause the Filipinos were able to cope
with any army. He admitted that he
had never seen a foreign army, with
the executions of the CarriSOnS al
Hougkong and Singapore, and he had
never seen these troops on parade.
Aguinnldo declined to discuss the
American army and protested his un
dying gratitude to the Americans.

part Of the army thus assembled is
destined for service in Cuba. with a
much smaller force for Porto Rico and

Earer to Come sack.

Philip GoltZ, who as with the
Twelfth Minnesota regiment at Lex
tEgton. writes to his brother III Vino
ma, that the boys are happy at the
prospect of getting back to Minnesota,
but would prefer to so direct TO their
homes instead of mastering out ut
New Ulm. He says the payment of
the troops has been put off until they
reach New Ulm, a little scheme of
Col. Bobleter's. In the meantime they
are being fed on lots Of old horse and
hardtaCk, which means that when
New Ulm is reached they will let go
lots of their salary for fresh food and
the things that by that time will be a
necessity.

havoc was caused there by hurri-

were rendered homeless and destitute.
The shipping suffered seriously. The

were driven TO sea. They had not re-
turned when the steamer-left Barba-

wrecked or blown out 10 sea.

American soldiers were dying OF star
walton at Santiago-repOrts that ellie
tied inquiry from the war department
regarding the matter-the troops have
ample supplies Of every kind except
that in some instances the fresh meat
supply has been unsatisfactory. The
fact Is that the meat sent here IN re-
frigerator ships, owing to the delay IN
unloading, becomes more or less
tainted before it Is used. 1t is eSti-
mated that at least 40 to 60 per cent
is useless. Near Santiago are great
heids Of pasturage, and the United
States government would do well to
send live beeves here instead OF con-
tract meat The cost would be less
and the satisfaction far greater. Aside
from the sickness that Is incidental TO
acclima tizatlon, the trouble among
our soldiers is chiefly mental, rather
than physical. and better mail service
would do much to remedy it. Scarcely

The state agricultural school at st.

series of experiments TO determine the
adaptability of winter wheat ia Min
neSota climate. No experiments along
the line of winter wheat raising have
hitherto been made, the station being
sufficiently occupied with the spring
variety. But such glowing reports
have been received from various sec
tons of the state this summer of eX-
ceptionally large yields OF winter
wheat that Prof. Hayes has decided To
take the matter up at this time he has
procured some seed from farmer
aear Faribault. The piece on which
It was grown yielded thirty eight bush

have been reported from other points.
and it Is declared that the crop as Il
whole will be the best in the history
OF the state. averaging probably be-

Gen. Miles is confined to his bel
with Il touch of fever. resulting from
from his recent campaigns. The gen
eral has been ailing for some days,
and although he came To army head
quarters 70 two hours yesterday. there
was already some evidence of fever.
To-day the fever symptoms were
rather marked. and the physician who
was called in insisted on the general
remaining il bed. The attack causes
no apprehension To the general or his
friends. 1t Is said To he of Il malarial
character, like most of the fever de-
velOped after exposure in Southern
latitude. Gen. Miles family and
friends have been urging him to leave
Washington, and take Il complete rest
at some watering resort. He has re-
sisted this, not being willing to admit
that the campaign had made some in
roads on his health. 1t is believed,
however. that lie will now yield to the
advice of physicians and friends and
take a vacation at some quiet resort.
owing to the strong recuperative pow
ers of Gen. Miles. it is hoped at army
headquarters that he will be up anu
about very soon.
