TO HASTEN CUBAN EVACUATION.
Officials here are watching with in
terest the progress being made by the
military commission at Havana in Sc
curing the evacuation of the island of
Cuba. The commission has been very
slow in making reports to the war de-
partment, but from the latest received,
it appears that the body would like to
have more definite instructions as to
procedure. 1t seems that the Spanish
side has said that they could not be-
gin the evacuation of the island until
NONe1nDtT ISL anu lIldl II COulu HOl D0
completed before the 2Sth of February
next. In view of the alarming state of
the Cubans. who are suffering from
hunger and the inability of the pres
ent uncertain conditions for obtaining
work, the president decided that he
could not assent to the consumption of
so much time. Therefore he caused the
commission to be instructed to demand
that the evacuation by the Spaniards
begin not later than October 18th and
that it be completed by December 31St
next. What the result of this demand
will be is not yet known, but it is said
that the administration is determined
to tolerate no dilatOry tactics on the
part of the Spanish forces in leaving
the island, although disposed to permit
reasonable indulgence.
Notice has also been taken of the
expressed purpose of the Spanish cap
tain general to remove from the is
lands the remains of Christopher Co
lumbus, with part of the surmounting
monument. If a monument is not a
permanent fixture then it is hard to
decide what is and it is possible that
attention will be called to the infrac-
ton of the terms of the protocol, al
though this must be done with haste in
order to succeed in it's object as the re-
moval is said to be fixed for next Tues

NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest OF Exchange News Mining Stocks
Metal Quotations-wool Prices and

duce-Review OF Trade.

New York. Sept s.-There was further
drastic liquidation in the stock market
to-day at an expense TO prices of stocks
of between 81 and 50 per share in a great
many cases. Disappointment over the fix
ing of the st. Pau dividend at only ga
per cent. continued the prevailing infiu-
ence and no attention was paid to favor
able developments or to the indications
of an easier condition in money.
The selling was evidently in the nature
of speculative proft-taking and came
from an element that has persisted In the
confidence that prices were certain of a
further advance. A great part OF this ad-
vance has been based on the supposition
that the St. Paul dividend would be in
creased and would awaken general ac-
tivity and widespread outside interest, as
was the case with the increase in the Bur-
lington dividend.
There was a short-lived period OF hrm-
ness early in the day on a demand to
cover some of the shorts put out yes
terday.
ON account OF the money rate New
York banks continue to lose cash very
heavily TO the sub-treasury and the ship
ments of currency TO the interior show a
large Increase over those OF last week.

liquidation. though 70 a less degree than

clined y per cent. in the bid price. There
were large dealings in the Ss at from

Great Falls, Sept. e.-Henry Reilly.
one Of the men who participated in the
hunt after Ed Short. the horse thief,
came to the city to-day to receive e
zeal treatment for injuries received in
the chase. At the suggestion of Sheriff
Proctor the county commissioners
agreed to pay the expenses of the treat
ment. While Proctor and Bailey were
standing guard oyer the hiding place OF
the thief, Reilly went back to the Ten
Mile house for a sack of crackers and
such other food as he might be able to
rustic, as the two men had been on
duty for about eight hours and were
nearly famished. In coming back IN

there is no possibility Of fusion be-

this county VIII probably favor fusion,
while the democrats will probably op-
pose it. Jefferson county will proba-

one reason why the delegation will be
