Quite number of our young peo-
pie attended the commencement ex-
ercises
at Sibley on Friday evening of last
week. On account of unfavorable
weather the attendance was rather
light. The storm was quite severe
at Sibley and our young friends were
obliged to seek quarters and stay in
town over night:
T hese commencement exercises are
full of interest, not only to the grad.
yates but to the whole school, to the
friends of the graduates, and to a
good]y number of the general public
And why should they not be interes,
ed! These young people have been
studying hard for years in order tc

well, We would not haAe it otherwise
They will almost certainly com,

EVACUATION OF CUBA.
1t is Thought That it VIII Have Been Ac-
complished by the Beginning of the
New Year, IL Not Sooner.

New YORK, Oct. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
If the present plans are carried out
it is expected that the evacuation of
Cuba will have been completed by De-
cember 81 and the new year will see
the American colors raised all over the
island
1t is now believed the plans will be
carried out, be cause advices from the
military commission in Havana indi-
cate that Spain will no longer contend
for delay. 1t is said that the trans
ports which took the prisoners from
Santiago will promptly return to Cuba
to facilitate speedy evacuation
These transports have capacity of
25, QUO. l am further informed that it
is not likely that more than 10000
or $4,000 soldiers will return to Spain.
The other $4,000 or 10000 will re-
main, lay down their arms and become
citizens of the island. This, it is con-
sidered, will be in no wise objection
able to this government Secretary
Alger has said that $4,000 or 60,00O
United States troops will be sta
toned in Cuba, at points which will
probably be decided upon within
the next few days 1t is the plan
of the administration not to con-
centrate any great number of troops
in any one place. The army of occu-
patton will probable consist of four
infantry divisions and one cavalry di-
vision. The plan of keeping the 7th
army corps together will doubtless be
abandoned, and on this point Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee has been in conference
with Secretary Alger.

FIRST MEETING.
The Peace Com ssioners Held Their First
session-A Question as to the Chair
man of the Board.

PARIS, Oct 1.-The first official meet
ing OF the peace commissioners took
place Saturday at the hall of am bas-
sadors
The hall, which is elegantly finished
in white and gold, is only used on
state occasions.
The French government has provid.
ed an ample buffet for the commits
sioners, and five servants provide for
the distinguished gentlemen's comfort.
Whisky and soda water is a feature of
the buffet for the especial benefit of
the Americans.
1t is stated that the Spanish govern.
ment has notified Montero Rios that
since the protocol was signed the
Americans have helped the insurgents.
Rios is asked 10 make strong use OF
this fact in the negotiations
The Spanish commissioners also en-.
ter vigorous protest against the ac-
tion of the United states authorities
in the Philippines in allowing the VII
sayas rebels to receive rifles, ammuni-
tion and cannon. while at the same
time prohi biting Spanish troops to be
sent there.
The American commissioners have
insisted that the United States. being
victors, the conference should be pre-
sided over by an American every day
in the week.
The spaniards submit that, owing
to his age and rank, Senor Montero
Rios, who is president of the senate,
ought, under ordinary circumstan ces,
to lie president of the conference, but,
in view of the United States being the
victorious nation, they suggest as a
compromise that deliberations be con-
Quoted on alternate days by Senor
Montero Rios and ex-Secretary Day.
This point is under discussion.
Before each chair is large, leather
bound portfolio and tray upon which
are pencils, an ink eraser, file hook,
quill and steel pens, a china ink we'll

The most striking difference be-
tween the Illinois and the battleships
now in service, is the high freeboard
of the former enabling her to fight her
guns from their great elevation above
the water in seas so heavy that the
guns of the lower vessels would be
submerged and useless. Splendid sea-
going powers are also expected to result
from this increased freeboard, by
which is meant the height of the hull
above the water line.
The dimensions of the Illinois are
as follows: Length on load water
line, 36S feet; beam, extreme, II feet
2L inches; draft on normal displace:
ment of l1,5a5 tons, 90 feet inches.
Maximum displacement, all ammu-
milton and stores on board, IL, S25 tons;
maximum indicated horse power (esti-
mated), 10000; probable speed, 1917
knots. Normal coal supply, 500 tons,
coal supply, loose storage, 1,20O tons;
full bunker capacity, l,4oO to 1900
tons. Complement of officers, 40; sea-
men, marines, etc, 44o
The main battery will consist OF
four l3-inch breech-loading rifles in
HIGHT born balanced turrets, oval in
shape and placed in the center line OF
the vessel, and IA 6-inch rapid-fre
guns. The secondary battery will
consist of 1G 6.pounder rapid-fre guns,
four 1-pounder rapid-fre guns, two
Colt guns, and two field guns. She
will carry four torpedo tub bes. The 13
inch guns have an arc of fire of Is;
degrees on each side of the cen
ter line, and the 6-inch an arc
of 90 degrees on the broadside,
with the advantage of those on the
upper deck of a direct fire ahead and
astern. Any injury to or near either
of these six-inch guns, will be con
fined to its own compartment, as ! u
