MUST TRANSPORT HER TROOPS.
United States Will Not Agree to Send
Back to Spain Any But Soldiers Who
Surrendered.

United States Will Not Agree to Send
Back to Spain Any But Soldiers Who
Surrendered.
One of the most important questions
which will be settled by the two mill
tary commissions will be whether
Spain or the United States will bear
the expense necessary to send the
Spanish troops in Cuba and Puerto
Rico back to Spain. The administra-
ton is opposed to paying for the trans
portation of the Spanish army, other
than those troops which surrendered
to Gen. Shafter or Gen. Miles. For all
such troops which are in reality pris-
oners of war the United States is per-
fectly willing to provide transporta-
ton. This is being illustrated at the
present by the sending of Gen. Toral's
army back to Spain.
1t is feared by officials of the admin
istration that Spain hopes and expects
that this government will be as liberal
and provide transportation for the
Spanish armies in Cuba and Puerto
Rico. Army and navy officers say,
however, that no such plan will be
agreed to by the military commissions
representing the United States.

Rat and Snake Kent House,

Joseph Garrish found a log along
the Potomac river, near Williamsport,
n. Y, and proceeded to chop it into
firewood. While he was in the act OF
splitting the log he was surprised to
see snake three feet long, and a
large rat occupying the same nest in
the hollow of the log. Both rat and
snake, which seemed on very friendly
terms, attacked Mr.. Garrish. The
snake coiled for spring and the rat
made for him, biting viciously at his
feet and finally running up his panta.

finally shaken out and dispatched with

We went up into the field, captain and

of them to look after, and it was a
hot business, for the bullets were COM
ing down in volleys now. Inside two
minutes they'd caught ten of US be-
sides the captain and me. Not bad,
was it, for so men! And we couldn't
see a Spaniard.
We'll, there was high grass in the
field, and the boys stretched out quick
on their bellies, but they couldn't tell
what to fire at or what range to take,
or anything, because there was nothing
to guide them. Then they began to
huddle up together; it's sort of human
to do that when you're in hole, and
l had to keep 'em spread out so the
boys in front wouldn't get shot by the
boys in the back. They didn't like to
hear the bullets sailing past their
heads, either, especially their own bull
lets. The worst man was that dare,
devil Cuban, who was ahead of every
body, firing his Mauser for all he was
worth.
'Cubano,' I called out, get back
here That was all the Spanish I could
give him, but he understood and
minded.
"'What shall we shoot at, lieuten-
ant" asked some of the men near me.
Shoot at the block-house, shoot at
the top of the hill. That's where they
are. Don't shoot at the thicket.'

close your bolt, aim, fire, pull back
your bolt and so on. You know we
have five cartridges in our rife maya
zines all the time, but we keep them
in reserve. Usually we load in a fresh
cartridge every shot"
''Were you lying down all this time,
lieutenant?" | asked.
He looked at me in surprise. "How

it hurt like-well, did it hurt where

through his stomach, and he died the
next morning.

didn't squeal.

The Wnr Is Over

And now our thoughts are all of peace and
home. There are, too often, people to be
found who have no home, and it is to them
these few words are addressed. If you real
ly want a home you can easily get one, but
you should act at once before the relapse
from the war puts prices on the advance
In Marinette County, Wisconsin, the very
finest farming land is to be had now at a
most modest figure. Excellent home mar
kets are at hand to take whatever the farm
er raises, and good prices are given. These

Paul Railway, and full information CON

boys all know what to do in case like
that; they teach us that in the army.
We have an hour of drill a week in
field surgical work, and you can bet it
helped out here.
rThen they made litter out of two
shirts and two rifles with bayonets
fixed, rolled the shirts around the RI
f1es, you know-that's another thing
we learn-and so they took me down
the road until we met a doctor. He
put tag on me marked urgent and
told the boys to hustle me back quick
or Id bleed to death. So they hustled
me back, and the Spaniards took
crack at us every now and then.
There's nothing they like better than
to pick off litter-bearers. Say, you
ought to have seen the stSff we passed
hats and coats and haversacks and
cartridge belts-every blamed thing
you can think of, that the men had
thrown away. Somebody picked up
dead mans hat and put it on my head;
nsne fell off in the field.
pretty soon we came to a place
where the ambulance corps was work
ing, with dead men and wounded men
all over the place. My! that was a
thing to see. But l didn't hear any
lad hOller; they'd only groan once in
awhile, when they were half uncon-
scious, and a lot of them would try to
laugh and joke, but / guess it hurt
'em all right, all right. They all acted
like men, though, and they kept cool,
but you never saw such a row as the
wounded Cubans kicked up. They
didn't like getting shot a little bit.
what broke me up worst was los
ing my sword and revolver. / gave
'em to a fellow who was wounded in
the arm to keep for me, but he got

" WdNC WtOHSTs
The ending for us of five years Of
business in Pendleton is near at hand,
February A, and as We have accumu-
lated some styles and some short lines
of shoes, that it is necessary to get out
of the store by cutting the prices below
what such goods can be bought for, we
will commence on January 8, and con.
itinue until February /, spot cash sale.
Wemea that for cash paid at time OF
purchase we will sell shoes at prices be.
low anything ever offered in Pendleton.
We do not mean everything in the
store will be sold below cost, for they
won't but we do mean there will be sew
eral hundred styles that can be bought
of US during this sale for less money
than we paid for them, and as We buy
shoes for less money than any one in
Pendleton this affords the reason why we
sell for less.
We are going to sell more shoes in
January than We did last year and that
is big job, for we did big business
last year.
If you need shoes in the next three
months you can save money by coming
to see if we are lying about this sale.

ance of the same for the present one,
