Starting THE ELECTION.
HAVE MET IN PUERTO RICO.
The Evacuation Commissioners
Held Its First Annual Meeting in
San Juan de Puerto RicO-Spanish
Instructions Had Not Arrived.

San Juan de Puerto Rico, Sept. H.
The first joint meeting of the evacuation
commission was held in the council cham
Der of the palace yesterday morning. 1t
was exceedingly formal.
Major General Brooke. Rear Admiral
Schley and Brigadier General Gordon, ac
companied by their personal staffs, drove
to the palace. Here they were formally
presented to the Spanish commissioners
General Ortega, Brigadier of Marine Val
leriano and Senior Aguilo, auditor of war.
The presentation was made by Captain
General Macias. Both committees then
returned to the spacious council room,
where credentials were exchanged.
The Spanish commissioners were most
courteous. They explained that their
embarrassment was due to the fact that
their instructions had failed to arrive,
though expected on the Alfonso KILL,
overdue since yesterday. They assured
the. American commissioners of their con-
fidence that the instructions would ar
rive during the day or tomorrow and sug-
gested an adjournment until Monday at
2 o'clock, to which the Americans
promptly agreed
The American commissioners also
agreed to the suggestion that the ses-
sions of the commissioners should be Sc
cret, as many questions of diplomatic
character might arise, which, if given
publicity, might embarrass the work.
The commissioners will meet separately
to begin with, and the joint session will
be held to exchange propositions. The
Spanish officials have been at work sew
eral days making inventories of the gov
eminent property.

Rivage for several days. 1t was at first
thought her wound was not serious, but
she died in a few minutes.

when she fell fainting.
The captain did not want to put from
the quay, but did SO at the request of
the empress and her suite, there being no
apprehension that she was seriously hurt.

for the open lake, and the empress, UNI
conscious. was carried TO the hotel ON

Miles Asserts Himself.

New York, Sept. PA dispatch to
the Press from Camp Wikof says:
Under peremptory orders from General
Miles preparations are being made to
break up this camp at once by sending
home all the soldiers here. This is con-
trary to what mas been the understand
ing of the officers in command. General
Shafter said last week that 5000 or 1000
men would be kept here, at least until
October, and this was supposed to be the
order of Secretary Alger.
An officer said today when General
Miles orders came a telegram was sent
him saying that such orders were con-
trary to Secretary Ayers orders, and
Miles replied:
'Never mind what Alger says; am
in command now"
That of course settled it so far as the
officers here are concerned, and unless
General Miles orders are countermanded
next week will see the practical end Of
Camp Wikoff.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

lhE EXCELLENCE Of SYRUP OF FIGS

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par

The Legislature OF New Jersey has
been called upon to consider bill
introduced in the lower house Of that
State, providing for the imposition of

the authors name is Weller. 1t is not
known whether or not the gentlemen Is
a descendcnt of the noted Mir. Weller
who admonishcd his son Samuel to
beware OF the vldders," but 1t is
known that the Speaker of the House
became greatly mixed when the bill
was presented, ana that he promptly
referred it to the committee on lunacy
1t Is not known when the Iunacy
committee will permit the bill to come
UP for action, If ever, but when it does
death awaits 1t ut the start. The
bachelors are said TO be in majority
in the Jersey Legislature, and this be-
