ARMY OF OCCUPATION
 TO EMBARK FOR CUBA
General Wade's Urgent Request That
 the Troops Be Forwarded at

NEW YORK. Nov. 1o.-A Washington special to the Herald says: An effort will be made to get the Eighth Cavalry off from Savannah tomorrow. but their em- barkation had been set for an earlier date and there Is probability of further delay General Wade has made an urg- ent request that the troops be at Nuevi- tas and Puerto Principe by November E, as those two points are to be evacuated on November 9 and he wishes the United States troops to be well established be- fore the evacuation. So General Carpen- ters Brigade, composed of the Eighth Cavalry, Fifteenth Infantry and Third Georgia, may be hurried forward.
 Every precaution is being taken to equip the camps in such a way as to guard against fever. The authorities say that this precaution is one of the causes of delay in authorization.

 MANILA, Sept. 21.-There Is another brigadier general in this army. Really you know, if this kind of thing Is to go
 on there will be more brigadier gen. erals than there are regiments to be commanded. They have already gone
 beyond the number of brfgades, and
 still Colonel Smith of the First Cali fornia, the one man whose gallant ser vice in the field should entitle him to promotion, has not been given the stars he has so richly deserved. Colonel Reeve of the Thirteenth Minnesota is the new man to step up, and it puzzles us all down here to grasp the system used in playing the political military game at Washington. scheme that gives the most to the men who de- serve the least, and gives nothing as all to the most deserving Is, we oWns too deep for us. There is not regu- lar army man here, not naval man acquainted with all the facts, not a newspaper man on the ground compe- tent to judge of conditions but will tell you James F. Smith of San FTanc1sco earned his promotion on the 31Sl OF July, and earned it over again when nc led the men of his regiment down the Calle Real through Hermita and Ma late on the 18th of August, the hrsr to reach the gates of the walled city and to pass thence down into the ES- colta and Malacanan. James F. Smith is pleasantly overlooked, like white chip, and men are promoted whose only possible claim to honor lies in the Tacf that 1t is probably good politics to ad- vance them. Colonel Reeves Of Min nesota is a good fellow, as good fellows go but they who were on the right with McArthur when Manila fell tell strange tales of how the Astor Bat tery's support failed, and how the Americans would have been repulsed there, despite the splendid success of the Coloradans and Californians and the Twenty third and Eighteenth regulars before Malate If 1t had not been for the gallantry of the Astor Battery boys themselves and of the Third Artillery and the Fourteenth regulars; and they are army officers who tell these tales, men whose word is their bond The Minnesota Regiment, Colonel Reeves commanding, was in the first line of the support of the Astor Battery. One company of the Minnesota Regiment, or, rather forty-six men of one com pany, headed by their captain, were found, two hours after the white flag was flown from the citadel, crouched down up to their necks in the water covering a paddy field.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

EUFALA, I. T., Nov. 1O.-It is known here that there has been fighting at OkmuIgee, the capital of the Creek Ma tion, where the council met Tuesday. For forty-eight hours rumors of trouble have been drifting from Okmul- gee, which is forty miles off the rail- way and without telephone or tele- graph service. It is known, however, that the full-bloods have made an at tack on the treaty leaders at Okmulgee and that at least one man has been killed and seven or eight wounded. All the Indian police at Agent Wilson's dis posal have been ordered to Okmulgee and soldiers will follow The white peo- pie feel able to take care of themselves. The only fear Is for the half-breeds, who voted for the treaty.
 CHECOTAH, l. T., Nov. 10.-The Creek returns are all in and show that the treaty has carried. Twelve hundred full-bloods stayed away from the polls. The council is in session at Okmulgee. The full blood chief threatens to kill the people who voted for the treaty. Indian police were ordered by the agent to Okmulgee. Chief Ishparreher threat ems to burn the towns in the Creek Ma ton along the Missouri, Kansas and 1eXdS RAILWAY. inc 1HuIdHS ale NeIS restless.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Washing- ton officials have received no advices confirming the reported serious situa- tion in the Creek Indian Nation. growing out of the ratification of the agreement with the Dawes Commission, but they are not altogether surprised at the stories. The full-bloods have all along foughtsthe negotiations, and it is regarded as natural that they are re- luctant to yield their possessions. No recent reports from there indicate threatened trouble, but the authorities are ready to take whatever action is necessary on official notification of the trouble.

Regard For Americans In Rural Spain.

A good many of the ignorant country
people in Spain are very much more cour-
teous to Americans than TO English people
for the curious reason that they consider
them subject also to the crown OF Spain
1t has beon found in out of way villages,
near Gibralter especially, where the En-
glish occupation of that fort is still looked
upon as temporary and offensive intru-
sion of foreigners upon Spanish soil, that
the whole tone of the people will change
when it is found that tourist is not En-
glish, but American. 'Ah, / have a
brother in Havana" grim browed
villager will say, with an infection that
implies that his American interlocutor
must of necessity be from Cuba too
In Ronda, in the mountains of Anda-
lusia, the guidebook warns tourists that
they are likely to have stones thrown at
them A party of Americans who had
spent n week in Ronda declared this eau
ton nonsensical to pair of English tour
lists at hotel table. But these instantly
declared that the street boys had indeed
thrown some good sized stones at them
while they were descending the cliff, which
Is one of the sights of the place. And
the exemption of the others from like at
tack was explained by an intelligent citi-
zen of Ronda on the ground that the
gamins looked upon the Americans as, in
a sense, compatriots. The noble don, how
ever, was himself assured that IL was the
personal amiability and charming suavity
of his admired friends which made the
townspeople their delighted servitors The
Latin race has n very polite way of polite
ness-whon not engaged In animosity -

ExlLED BY A THREAT.
The Man Who Made the Threat Always
Keeps His Word.

The Man Who Made the Threat Always
Keeps His Word.
"There are some men of such unrelen5-
ing purpose that when they once register
q VOW to do a certain thing no human
agency can cause them to alter their reso-
luton" said Mr. George Rice of Arkansas.
"Here Is n little story taken from life,
every incident of which came under my
own observation. The facts are truly
stated and can be easily verified. About
ten years ago. in a little southern town,
two friends of mine, young man and a
man of middle age, had a difficulty, and
the former fell dead, pierced through the
heart with bullet from revolver. The
blame all rested with the deceased He
came of highly respectable family, but
had fallen into convivial habits, and when
drinking was very ugly. Time and again
he had made threats against the man who
killed him. Friends of the latter told him
of the threats and begged him to avoid a
meeting, which he did whenever possible.
At last IL came to question of killing or
getting killed, and he obeyed natures first
law.
"A jury would have cleared him beyond
all doubt IL the case had ever come to
trial, but 1t never did. Instead he for
feited his bond of IS, 900, and the cash was
paid over by my hands. The man who
did the killing left for parts unknown and
has never returned. Why did he not stand
trial9 Simply because the father of the
deceased solemnly declared in tho presence
of all his townsmen that If John - was
aquitted of staying his son he would be-
come the boys avenger. He would kill
his sons slayer. The old man was never
known to break his word. His courage
was of that desperate kind that feared
nothing. Nobody doubted that he would
do just what no said, so / advised John
- to clear out, and as there had been
enough killing he went.
"Ten years have gone by, and the old
father has never relented. He stands
ready today to make good his oath. Ar
gument and persuasion are useless, and a
good man is forced into banishment as
long as the other lives. He is getting very
old now, and his health is feeble. His
stay on earth is short, but until he goes
the sentence of exile stands. Washing
