HAVANA, Dec. 21.-Captain General
Castellanos has informed Brigadier
General Clous that the evacuation Of
Havana would be complete on or before
Jan. next. Fourteen transports are
due to arrive from Spain during the
next 10 days. There are 10000 Spanish
troops still in Havana and its environs,
but the last few thousand will embark
simultaneously. This information was
particularly agreeable to the Americans
because all Spanish troops who remain

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The epidemic
of grippe has not abated and conditions
are such as to favor its spread. It is
estimated there are, 100, 900. cases In
Greater New York. The board Of
health by statements has attempted to-
quiet alarm, which an earlier report
raised, but it is evident they regard the
situation as one which calls for extreme
vigilance and care.
After Q specially called meeting Of
the board, participated in by all the
chiefs Of bureaus, Commissioner John
B. Cosby issued formal statement, in
which he said:
Influenza or grippe is positively con-
tagious and infectious" Then in con-
siderable detail he showed how disease
was communicated both by the atmos-
phere and by personal contact and the
need of precautionary measures in the
treatment of sufferers. "a.

tion. 35l;'@ + i'm ~ L 1ee!ifss.ts.s
This is Mr.. Grains story a. he told it
after his return; 50
James O'Brien Of Morden, Manitoba,
reported to Revenue Officer Goerke, at
South Antlers, N. D., few weeks ago
that I6s sheep had been stolen by his
hired men and smuggled over the border.
O'Brien said that he had sent the sheep
to Pierson, Man., last spring in charge of
his hired man. The hired man he said,
had left the sheep with farmer named
Craig, and in the fall had taken them
from Craig and sold them to William
Lennox, cattle dealer near the border.
Mr.. Goerke sent for Mr.. Grain, who
left St. Paul for Antlers about week
ago. He said Mr.. Goerke followed the
sheep into North Dakota and first got
track of the herd by finding in the snow
number of sleeps ears with O'Brien's
brand on them. The trail, marked by
bloody ears was followed until the herd
was found. There were 237 sheep in the
herd and all of them were earless. Mr..
Grain at once seized the entire herd and
made arrangements to have Lennox ar
rested.
Lennox asserted that he knew nothing
about any smuggling; but if Mr.. Grain
cannot have him held on that charge he
will turn him over to the state authori-
ties for prosecution under the law max
ing it a crime to remove the brands on
animals.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec. 2O.-The
convention of delegates from the towns
of Porto Rico, which General Henry
called last week, met during the day.
Senior Rivera, president Of the former
council, in behalf Of the Is delegates Of
whom 40 were Radicals, delivered an
address to General Henry declaring that
the convention was enthusiastically in
favor of free trade with the United
States, compulsory education, the set
tling of a rate of exchange and modi-
fications in the currency, though not in
favor of removing the duty on sugar,
which would be a death blow to Porto
Rico. @as
Senor Rivera said the convention was
in favor of territorial government,
with view to early statehood on the
basis of the American states.
The convention was harmonious po-
litically, and on commercial, religious
and educational questions.

The Pioneer publishes report on the
county auditors Office. filed with the
governor by the state examiner. County
Auditor Schallern is now serving his
second term and was reelected on the
fusion ticket by the unlucky majority OF
thirteen votes. His opponent, Joseph
Miller, is contesting Schallern's election.
Schallern has posed as reformer. He
tried to tax the Northern Pacific bridge
across the Missouri for the, benefit Of his
county, notwithstanding the fact that it is
taxed as part Of the right Of way of the
road by the state board of equalization
and it took United States Court to take
it off the tax list. ila. ssf &,ssez
Among the charges of the public ex-
aminer as to Schallern's delinquencies
are following: He is drawing $l7:7o per
month more salary than the law allows;
he puts into his own pocket the fees that
come to him for certifying that taxes are.
paid on lots sought to be; recorded. the
law expressly providing that such fees
shall be covered into the county treasury;
he has failed to carry out certain pro.
visions of the Wood bill passed at the
last legislature, and by his neglect the
county has lost some 5000 in taxes; he
has failed to forward to the state auditor
certain list of taxes, which should be
furnished that Office according olaw not
later than ::Nov. 4; he has failed to file
his own bond with the proper official;
there is disappearance Of old uncalled-
for warrants. A number OF minor char
ges have been made by the examiner as
to failure to perform duties that should
be performed, showing lax method OF
managing the affairs of the Office. The
governor will, in all probability, call on
the county commissioners to take such
steps as are necessary to secure the pro-
per administration of the affairs of the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 Clark Howell,
member Of the Democratic national
committee from Georgia and editor Of
the Atlanta Constitution, after consult
ing with the leaders Of both the politi-
cal parties at Washington, has tele-
3graphed as foilowstto to his paper:
with the adjournment of congress
for the holidays the final. decision on
the peace treaty is as clear asiit will be
after vote has been taken in the sem
ate. Two weeks ago the matter was in
doubt; today tits as certain that the
treaty will be ratified as it will be that
it is after the vote has been taken:
'.Mr. Bryan has been in Washington
for several days and has conferred fire.
quently and freely with the Democratic
leaders in both the senate and house.
He has
Advised Ratification Of tho Treaty
and he is outspoken in the opinion that,
aside from the question of national OBJ
legation, it is matter of party policy
for the Democrats to throw no obstacle
n the way Of ratification. There are
leading Democrats of both the senate
and house who less than week ago
were in doubt as to whether or not
Democrats should assist in ratifying the
treaty; more than that, some of them
were outspoken in the opinion that it
was perhaps better to reject it. Today
many of these Democratic leaders take
open position that the treaty should be
ratified. The ratification of the treaty
will not carry with it the assumption
that all those who vote affirmatively are
in favor of national expansion across the
Pacific. Opponents of expansion take
the view that the
Question of Expansion Is Not Involved
in the consideration of the peace treaty
and that after the treaty has been rati-
fed and Spain eliminated as factor of
the Philippine problem it will be time
enough to consider the policy to be pur-
sued in dealing with the Philippines,
and just here will come the real contest
of the question of expansion
Mr.. Howell summarizes the situation
as follows:
GAS the result of the final encounter
over the resolution it may be that the
country will witness the spectacle of
badly severed party lines and out of it
may be furnished the battle cries
around which will be formed the lines
of the next presidential fight"
