Joseph Wheeler spent the day here and left
this evening for Huntsville. On the subject OF
territorial expansion he said tonight:
1T seems to me that 1t Is too late to discuss

Hawaii is already annexed. and 1 believe that
those who opposed annexation are now salts

benefit that will come to US. Then Porto Rico
is practically coded to us. and l believe the
Philippine question will be carefully considered
and action, taken in such a manner as TO be OF
most benefit 10 us.
My hope is that our relations with all OF
these countries may result In opening for us a
large foreign trade. During the past twenty
Ave years demands for products growing out

ROME, Oct. 10.-A Milan newspaper publishes
a report OF an interview with Vlce-Admiral

refuse to withdraw his troops from the island.
Hence the exodus already reported.

Admiral is determined to enforce his orders
for the withdrawal Of the troops.
The Turkish oldiers desire to leave. but I'M
less they receive the sultan's orders they must
remain and fight. They would be reinforced
by the Bashi-B azouks.
Considering the small number OF efficient
weapons surrendered. it is ridiculous to sup
pose that the Bashi- Bazouks have been dis
armed Anyhow. they could easily be rearmed.
Even II the Sultan does not reply to the ulti-

shed. A bombardment would be inevitable.

WALKER, Mimi, Oct. 10. via Brainerd.-An
other conference was held this afternoon at the
Leech k agency between Gen. Bacon. In
dian Inspector Tinker. Falmouth. the head
chief of the Chippewas. and seven other repre-
sentatives OF the braves. including Nah Chi
Gah-Bowh. head brave Of the Plllager tribe.
Gen. Bacon told the Indians present to
take word to the Bear Islanders that
n they would give up the men wanted
by Marshal O'Connor and come in them
selves they would then be allowed to
return home. but II they persisted In staying
away there were thousands OF soldiers who
would follow them until they would be unable
to offer further resistance.
AT the request OF Ma-Che-Gah-Bowh, the
Generals proposition was put In writing. and
an Indian runner and Interpreter left imme-
dintely with It for the hostile camp. It Is be-
lieved that the proposition will be accepted.
Indian Commissions Jones reached Walker
tonight and will hold another conference with
the chiefs tomorrow at the agency. The In
dams have q long list OF grievances which they
VIII lay before MIN.
They will also refuse to come into the coun-
ell unless all the correspondents OF the papers
who are now here are allowed to attend.

have had in years to lay their case before the
people. and they want it to have the widest
possible publicity.
Messengers sent by Father Aloysius to the
hostile camp have not yet returned. though
they are expected momentarily.
Father Aloysius will go to their camp regard
less Of their answer. He has lived among them
for the past twenty-three years. speaks their
language fuently, and is said to possess moro
influence over the braves than even the chiefs
themselves.
He is confident that he will be able to bring
the Pillagers to accept Gen. Bacon's terms.

For the last two weeks there have been re-
ports In certain circles that Richard Croker
was to retire from the leadership Of Tammany

could not understand these reports. These
people nevertheless believed them to DO true.
Over two weeks ago THE Sun received in

denied its truthiulness. Mr.. Croker himself
did not care to say anything about the matter
until yesterday, when he said for publication

There are thousands Of details which should
