Congress will have some i'm.
portant problems to solve BY the
time it meets again. Nearly all
Of Spain islands will by that time
be in control Of American forces,
and there will be a large sized con-
trovcrsy over their disposition.
While the administration avoids
any expression of its intentions, it
is the general belief that the Phil
ippines, Porto Rico and some other
islands will be permanently acquir-
ed by the United States. The very
people who would oppose taking
the islands in times of peace, will
oppose giving up what has come
to us through war. In fact the
United States would find it rather
hard to gracefully let 60 of what
she conquers. ...>' ~. 2

 A special to the Journal from Walker says: The third expedition has just started. There are fifteen rifiemen on board, picked men. The boat carries coffee and provisions. The detail is under the direction of Mir. Camp of Brainerd, an old Indian fighter. The troops had nothing to eat since yester- day at noon. They have not even had drink of whisky to sustain vitality. The night was fearfully cold.
 THE DEAD IN BATTLE.
 Minneapolis, Oct. GA special to the Journal from Walker, Minn-, says: Major Wilkinson, six privates and one Indian policeman are dead. Col. Shee- han is slightly wounded. Thirty In- dians are dead. The Journal dispatch boat just returned from the battle ground. There has been desperate fighting all morning.
 The Journal boat brought out H. D. Talman, deputy marshal, and Col. Sheehan. Sheehan is not badly wound ed. He was shot in the abdomen. While the boat was transferring the wounded men she was fired upon from the bushes. This was a signal for the immediate reopening of hostiEties. The troops opened cn the Indians and in Q secold there was as fierce a fight in progress as that of yesterday. Beulcu narrowly escaped with his life. He had his shoulder bored clear through.
 We handled the provisions and med icines. The firing became so hot that we were compelled to weigh anchor and stsam out into the lake. The Indians appear to be in force. Bacon's command is too small to lake the aggressive. The detachment is en- trenched in a good position and can hold ont as long as their ammunition lasts. The steamer Chi9f was met by my beat eight miles out and has ar rived ere this. Major Wilkinson was shot and killed while walking up and down admonishing Ehe men to keep their heads low.
