Force of Forty Thousand Men Will
Be Required.
ONE HALF VOLUNTEERS
FIRST TEN THOUSAND TO START
WITHIN TWO WEEKS.
Rainy Season Is Nearly Ended and
the Winter Climate Is Enjoyable
and Healthful-First Batch of
Spanish Troops VIII Start For
Home Today.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 1s.-It is the
present intention of the administration
to send to Cuba as garrison force
for the island about 10000 troops, in adj
dition to the force now in Santiago un-
der command of General Lawton. The
organizations which are to comprise
the Cuban garrison have not all been
designated yet, but 1t IS assured that
at least half of them will be volunteers.
Within two weeks orders VIII ne Is
sued for the movement to Cuba OF the
first 10000 of the permanent garrison,
and it is the expectation now tnat they
will sail from the United States about
Oct. 10. These troops will be followed
quickly by others, until the entire force
of 40. 600 has been established on the
island.
IT is not the intention of the admin
istration to await the evacuation OF the
island by the Spanish forces before
sending United States troops TO Cuoa,
as the indications now are that 1t may
be several months before the CUBAN
commissioners complete their work.
Quite naturally a considerable number
of Spanish troops will remain on the
island until the arrangements Tor the
REIMBURSEMENT of Spanish sovereignty
over il formally have been concluded.
The rainy season in Cuba is nearly at
an end. and the most delightful season
of the year on the island is about to
begin. During the late fall and winter
months the climate in Cuba is not only
enjoyable, but healthful, and with such
care as will be taken for the health and
comfort of the American forces to be
stationed in Cuba, officials of the war
have no fear that serious
illness among the men will follow the
occunation of the island.

AMERICANS BLAMED.
Determined TO Win Glory at Expense
of INSURGENTS.

London, Sept. 20.-The Hongkong CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says: The
Philippine congress has favorably impress
proceedings. Il is believed that its de-
alterations will result in a petition to
President Mckinley to establish a pro-
tectorate.
The attitude of the American officers
toward the insurgents is causing unfavor-
able criticism among Europeans who have
returned from Manila. They blame their
almost criminal negligence of the native
character and their elementary ideas of
colonizing The officers seemed determn-
ed upon winning glory al the expense of

PROSPERITY OF THE SCHOOLS
GROWTH OF EDUCATION IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Over Sixteen Million Pupils In the
Schools and Colleges-Increase In
Higher Institutions.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The annual
statement of the commissioner of edu-
cation has been submitted 20 Secre-
tary Bliss.
''One cause of congratulation on the
part of those who hold the doctrine that
popular education is the safeguard of
our American institutions" says the re-
port, lis the continued prosperity of
the elementary schools. The increase
during the year 1867 amounted to 257,-
S9f pupils over thu previous year. The
total enrolled in elementary schools
amounted to 49, 452, 426 pupils. Adding
to it those in colleges, universities, high
schools and academies, the total num-
Der reached 16, 255. G93."
The total amount of schooling re-
ceived per individual on average for the
whole United States, at the rate of
school attendance for 1897, is nearly
five years of 200 days each, an6 reaches
quite seven years in few of the states
that are the most lavish in their eX-
penditureS for education. A little more
than one-fifth of the entire population
attended school at same time during
the year.
A still greater occasion for congrat-
ulation. il is stated, is the increase OF
students IN colleges and universities.
The increase has gone on steadily for 20
years. In 1872 only $50 persons in the
million Were enrolled in these institu-
tions. In 1897 the number had risen to
1,216 in tie million, being more than
double the number. During the same
period there has been an important
change in regard to conditions of adj
mission to colleges. The standard has
ben raised to such an extent as to re-
quir(,Z.n average of years work more
in preparation for the freshman class.
Considering the elevated standard, it
is safe to estimate the number in higher
education measured by the standard of
1872. is three times as large in 1897, as
% years before. This increase was
most remarkable in tho: students TAX
ing what are called post graduate stud
les and engaged in the work of original
investigation. The professional students
in the schools of law. medicine and
theology increased during the same
period. During the same period scien-
tific and technical schools multiplied.
In view of the continually increasing
demand for higher education, says the
statement, the increase OF professional
education. and especially the rapid
growth of that class of students that
make special expert studies in post
graduate work, is in the highest degree
assuring.

EUREKA BURGLARY.
Maurice Provost Arrested and Con-
fesses His Guilt

Eureka, Sept. 19.-Maurice Provost,
alias Frank Richie, alias j. H. Par
mellast, an ex-convict, who was re-
leased from the Utah penitentiary in
last July, where he had been doing a
term of seven years for burglarizing
shoe store at Lehi, threw UP his hands
last evening and confessed to the local
officers and Postoffice Inspector Sutton
that he was the guilty man in the bur-
glary of the Eureka postofflce early on
Friday morning last, at which time two
letters were stolen, one containing
checks valued at S2.490. a remittance
by the Buliion-Beck store to a Salt
Lake bank. and the other containing
checks for $500 or 500. a remittance to
Salt Lake by Adams & Sons company.
Provost was at first charged with bur-
glary of the store of ]. P. DriScoll, the
postmaster, and was TO have pleaded
to that charge tomorrow morning, at
which time he was confident of proving
an alibi, but in the meantime the Of
ficers had secured so much evidence of
his guilt, that when put under cross
fire of examination he confessed last
evening that he had done the work and
stolen the letters containing the checks.
He stated that it was little after
o'clock when he entered the postoffice,
and that ne had seen the nightwatch-
man go by and hid himself at that time
and that when he re-entered the res
taurant with the Doodle he became
alarmed. and when Nightwatchman
Brinton came in a short time afterward
he consigned the letters to the stove,
burning up about $500 worth of good
paper.
1t is reported, however, that most of
the checks can be traced, and beyond
a slight inconvenience will be a slight
loss.
Postoffice Inspector g. M Sutton,
who came here last night, compliment
ed the local officers, City Marshal Hen
Rod, Officer Brinton and Deputy Sheriff
Cronin, very highly upon the good
work they had done in the capture of
the burglar, and it is understood that
by agreement with County Attorney
Pike Provost will be taken charge of by
the United States marshal and will be
given a hearing in Salt Lake City be-
fore a United States commissioner. I'M
der warrant charging a United States
offense. Provost is a French Canadian
by birth, about 80 years old, and is said
to have a divorced wife and daughter
living in Ogden.

list of delegates to the Republican

F. H Holtzheimer, an aspirant for
the county attorneyship before the
county convention, says the

strong ticket, and he will vote and
work hard for it.
A horserace will take place this after
noon at Knightsville, between James
horse Wahjiin and Carl Elan
ders' bay mare Lookout, for a purse of
$50. Considerable betting is being in
dulged in by the local sports on the
outcome.

ANARCHY IN CUBA.
Starving Insurgents Are Forced to
Resort to Pillage.

London, Sept. 20.-The Times this
morning publishes a letter from aa-
vana correspondent. in which the
writer points out that though, as IN the
mother country, there appears no as
position among the Spanlaros IN Cupa
to attempt a nronunciamento. the SOL
diers and civilians alike having &C
cented the disaster and its conse-
uuences with dreary fataiistlc calm,
the island is at last drifting into
condition of anarchy. 1nsurgent BANDS,
the correspondent says, are enjoying
immunity in the commission OF out
RACES and Dlundering, and TINS is es-
pecially true in the western provinces.
where the insurgents bitterly complain
that they have been ignored and aban-
doned by the United States, and, being
left utterly destitute, can only save
themselves from starvation by raolne.
Without food, medicine and clothing,
they are dying like flies, md, unfortu-
nately, it is the best elements among
the insurgents that are suffering most
severely. Aih
draws attention to.ithe difficulties fac
ing the washington government, and
she advisa hility that the peace confer
cree be not unduly protracted.
Lue correspondent 1eiateS terrible
stories of anarchy and says the Amer
lean government is apparently at
tempting to suppress the truth. AS an
instance, he gives the following story,
which he declares was suppressed by
the censor at Key West:
A banI of insurgents attacked re-
Gently the Providencia Sugar factory,

of reconcentrados. They stripped the

las, thus making it Impossible for the
defenders of the factory TO return the
fire.
The correspondent declares that the
most irremediable effect of the pro-
longed war in the island is the almost
total destruction of the white popula-
ton. which has left Cuba almost as
