Cant. Warren, an American, who has
been with Gen. Maxine Gomez in Gu
ba. says the latter will no longer have
Americans about him, and is getting
rid Of them as fast as possible. He
takes the same course in the case of
Cubans suspected of favoring annexa-
ton to the United States. The result
is that some Of the best men who were
long attached to his immediate stan
are not now with him.
II will be difficult, capt Warren be-
lieves. to get the majority Of the insur-
gents to disband. His idea is that when
the American authorities get control OF
the other portions of the islands, they
should give out no rations and punish
severely all thefts of cattle and pro-
duce. He thinks. too. that there may
be some trouble with the insurgents
because of their insisting on the right
to court martial delinquents among
themselves.

Mr.. Howard described the condition

out that the only remedy for the exist

relief among the Armenians in Turkey
during his two years work as n relief

Resolutions were adopted ihdorsing a
plan for Cuban industrial relief as a

ing the Cuban poor to help themselves,
by providing for them employment in

GEN. MILES REPORT.
It Contains No Unjust Criticism Of the war
Department.


The report of Maj. Gen. Miles, COM
manding the United States army, was
made public last week by direction Of
Secretary Alger. The keynote of the
report Is found in one of the opening
sentences, where II Is said:
THE military operations during the
year have been extraordinary. unusual
and extensive" statement which Is
important events which Gen. Miles
shows have made the military history
of the year 1898 the most remarkable
since the end of the civil war.
In point of interest the document di-
rides naturally into four chapters, for.
while brief allusion is made to such
matters as the military expeditions to
Alaska, interest naturally centers in
that portion which treats of the war
with Spain.
Under this general head the report
deals with plans of campaign and war
preparations: with the Santiago cam
paign; with Gen. Miles operations in
Porto Rico, and lastly with the i'm
portant changes in existing organiza-
tion which are. in Gen. Miles opinion.
necessary to make the army an effec-
tive weapon for the defense of the
country.
There is an entire absence of any
evidence of direct criticism. though
certain sentences I'm the report are
italicized, In an apparent desire to
Justify previously expressed plans of
details of the campaigns. and, where
II deals with events, the document Is
largely made up of a quotation of of
fetal dispatches.

ROBBERS WERE IN NO HURRY.
Hold Train for Two Hours but Fail to Enter
Safe.

-
The Great Northern through train
which passes through Fergus Falls,

miles west of that place Thursday
night by eight well-armed robbers.
The train was scarcely out of town
when two men climbed over the tender
from the blind baggage car, forced
Engineer Brace and his fireman to stop
at lonely spot near the Pelican river
bridge. where the other members of
the gang rushed from the woods and
boarded the express car. Ali wore
handkerchiefs over their faces. The
gang was regularly organized and
went by numbers.
When the train stopped the conduc-
tor and brakeman started forward to
find out where the trouble was. but
the bandits fired a number of shots
and warned them to keep back. They
then compelled the express messenger
to leave the car. The local safe was
blown open and considerable money
secured The through safe was drilled
and dynamited, the Jacket being blown
off. but II was found impossible to
reach the inner part.
They worked over II nearly two
hours. holding the train for that
length of time, but gave up finally, and
joining their companions on the out
side started south. The two men who
stood guard over the engineer. COM

SPAIN HEARS IN ADVERSE REPORT.
AMERICAS POSITION.
The United States viii Not Allow Her to Collect
the Customs Money at Manila-A
Military Occupation.

The Americans last Wednesday pre-
sented the answer Of the United States
to the claims submitted on Friday last
In behalf of Spain. 1t was refutation
of the Spanish allegation that because
the words posse ssion," Ownership"
or "cession" do not occur In the proto-
col clause touching upon the Philippine
Islands, the peace commissions have
no right to discuss them here, and that
even If they did so. II must be in the
light of the alleged fact of an exterior
agreement that Spain's sovereignty
should not be impaired. IL also ad-
versely answered Spain's claim for the
restitution to her of public money and
customs collections taken by United
states officials since the capitulation
OF Manila. and made reply to Spain's
claim for an indemnity on account of
the alleged imprisonment of Spanish
troops of Manila and for their subse-
quent restraint from being of service
to Spain In the suppression of the In
surrection and the preservation Of
property.
The American commissioners hold
that there was justification. under the
terms of the protocol for the discus
sion of the future Of the Philippine is-
lands, and they also claimed that the
occupation of Manila Is a military one.
which justiiles the United States in
collecting revenues, administering the
government and exercising all the
functions of possession.
President Mckinley instructed the
American representatives at Paris 10
admit of no further discussion as Ia
the right to consider the disposition of
the Philippine islands. and state that
on that point the instructions already
sent must stand. the only matters for
discussion from the American view be-
ing the manner of giving over the is
lands.
