THE MILE Laos INDIANS,
Com. Hall Will Again Try to
PERSUADE All to Go to

Oar Hall, special lnOlnn cOmHIs'
sioner. returned Saturday from
Washington and will visit the Mile
Laos Indians this week. Concerning
the removal OF this tribe 10 White
Earth the commissioner said:
'.rhere ia no way to compel them to
leave the Mile Laos. 1t is optional
with them whether they go or stay,
so all that is III our power to DO la
to try to convince them that 1T ia for
their interests to make the change.
as it undeniably is. / am g"ing to
keep at them this spring and summer
and hope to make SINE Roadway.
There are about 600 "f the tribe
remaining mt Mile I.acs, orscattered
through the northern country. The
Others, some 2tNO or 800. have already
gone to White Earth. They are very
much pleased with every thing there,
end possibly they may be OF some
use to us in bringing the Others to
the sa me way OF thinking.
ut is nothing but Il mere matter
ut sentiment that prevents them
from accepting the exchange to the
White Earth agency. They argue
that b. cause some Of the other tribes
in the state have received allotments
ut their old homes they ought to
have the same privilege. But 1t is
too late to do this now. They CAV.
up their lands years ago and they
ale now occupied by settlers, who
claim them under bona fide titles.
The government cannot dispossess
these settlers and allOt their homes
to Indians. And besides the White
Earth IL d far better place for them
There isn't finer farming or general
purpose land in the state than that
at White Earth. There ia every
.hing that the Indians can want.
A white man could see the advant'
age of the change in Il minute, aid
iump at the chance 70 better his con
ditiOu.
1T - tor the interest OF the Mile
Laos Indians that they make up
their minds in this matter as speedi'
" as possible. The government isn't
going to keep the offer open for them
for all time. The other tribes have
come in and IRE on the road tc
prosperity. II the Mile Laos decide
to go their own way they will b'
standing in their own light. Fol-
they have everything to gain ant
nothing to lose by the removal.

From the St. Cloud Times:

Without Opposition.

Judge L. l.. Baxter. Of Fergns

Sunday, ON his way to Little Falls.
where he convened the regular term
of the district court for Morrison

Judge Baxter will be again elected
this fall without opposition. The
entire bar IF the district he's united
in signing Il petition, requesting him
to again accept the position. While
Judge Baxter has not yet formally
acknO wledged it, the fact Is ap-
parent that k~ would scarcely de-
cline the honor under the circum-
stances of it's tender. Although a
Democrat the first demand that he
should be a candidate came thu Ough
u Republican paper, the Sank Centre
Herald, and 1t is likely that the
Judge will acknowledge the petition
through that paper. The judiciary
in this district has happily hee1
taken out of politics, the Democrats
having treated Judge Searle in Il
similar way the last time he was
elected. When seen hy Times man,
Judge Baxter said that he was not
yet prepared to make a statement.
but that he appreciated the endorse
ments that had come to him great
deal more than he did the Office.

Plans Perfected and Submitted to
War Department by Gen. Miles.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Maj. Gen.
Miles, commanding the army, has COM
pleted his plan for the reorganization
Of the volunteer forces into corps, di-
visions and brigades. This plan has
been submitted to the war department
for approval. The plan contemplates
organization Of the volunteer forces
which have not been ordered mustered
out, and designates an army of occu-
patton for Cuba, provides for the relief
of the army in Porto Rico, and estab-
fishes a reserve to relieve the troops
in the various islands which will be
occupied by the United States. 1t is
known that the troops Of the Seventh
corps, now under Gen. Lee, will be
designated to go to Cuba, and that
troops from the camps at Lexington,
Knoxville and Middletown will be Sc
lected for Cuban duty. 1t is under
stood that Gen. Miles deals only with
organizations, such as corps, divisions,
brigades and regiments, The matter
of commanding and staff officers will
be settled after the mastering out of
general and staff officers has been de-
termined.

CHRISTMAS FOR THE BOYS.
Uncle Sam VIII Carry Presents to
Manila Free of Charge.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Numerous
inquiries have been made at the war
department by friends of the soldiers
serving in the Philippines in relation
to facilities for sending the men pack
ages in the event that the troops are
retained in the east until Christmas.
The department has decided to furnish
the desired facilities for conveying to
the men such packages as may be fur
nished by relatives and friends. 1t is
proposed to send q vessel from San
Francisco in the early part of Novem-
Der in ample time to reach Manila be-
fore Christmas. This vessel will carry
packages free of charge. A limit will
be placed on the size and weight Of
the package, and notice will be given
when arrangements are completed.
Packages are to be consigned to an
officer of the quartermaster's depart
ment at San Francisco, who will attend
to the shipment between that city and
Manila.
The overland freight to San Fran
cisco must be prepaid. The depart
ment will endeavor to secure special
for all packages addressed to the SOL
diers, and notice will be given of the
latest date for the reception at San
Francisco. The trip from the Atlantic
coast to Manila will consume all of six
weeks, and people who contemplate
taking advantage of the arrangement
should be making the necessary prep

as to the Future.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MANILA, Aug 80 (via San Francis
CO. Sept. 22).-The only impediment in
theway of restoring absolute confidence
is Aguinaldo, who has informed Gov.
Gen. Merritt that in the event Of the
United States holding the Philippines
permanently, or at least formally, de-
claring a protectoEate over it, his fol-
lowers would lay down their arms; but
until that time it would not be safe
for him to do so. While all this is very
plausible it is the consensus of opinion
among the English speaking merchants
and residents here that the rebels, es-
pecially Aguinaldo, are only holding
out in order to be bought The fact
that one Of AguinaldO's lieutenants is
authority for the statement that an
arrangement has been made with the
Americans by the terms of which
Aguinaldo is to be made governor of
a province and each of his officers to
be given minor positions, provided his
troops lay down their arms, would tend
to show that this opinion has some
basis, particularly when Gen. Merritt,
upon learning of this statement, said
emphatically that mo agreement what

HOW DEWEY DID II,
Gen. August, Who Knows, Tells
About the Fall of Manila


MADRID, Sept. 22.-Gen. August,
the former captain general Of the Phil
ippine islands, who has just arrived at
Valeria, Spain, from Manila, in an in
terVieW is quoted as discussing the
Philippine question in an interesting
manner. He is alleged to have said:
Before l left Spain I knew the stu
alton in the Philippine islands was
grave. Senor MOret, the minister Of
the colonies IN the last cabinet of Senor
Sagasta, remarked to me that if war
with the United States broke out there
would be a terrible state Of things"
Continuing, Gen. Augusti described
Admiral Montojo's fleet as some
wooden ships and said: "They came
to Manila practically pursued by Dew
ey." He then said: Our batteries
fired at the Americans, but our guns
were mounted on false plates, and
after the first shots they became use
less. At daybreak we were in the
power of the Americans and an hour
afterwards the Spanish fleet had
ceased to exist. Dewey summoned
me to surrender. I refused and he
threatened to raze the town. I replied
'Raze it, but as long as I live the
Spanish flag will float on the ruins Of
Manila" Then began the terrible time
of the siege and the anguish Of the
blockade. Famine stared US in the
face. In the meantime hostilities were
conducted throughout the provinces,
but, save in isolated cases, humanely.
Dewey repeated his summons to sur
render and I again refused Dewey
bombarded the town and Manila sur
rendered. But considering my presence
no longer necessary, [ asked the gov
ernment for permission to go home, as
my position had become by no means
easy. I think I have done my duty as
a soldier and a Spaniard"
The ministerial newspapers protest
against the supposition that the United
States will keep the Philippine islands.
They maintain that Spain's rights to
these islands are incontestable, and
that she is resolved to defend her
rights with the greatest energy" The
government papers also contend that
the terms Of the peace protocol con-
firm Spain's right to the island Of Lu-
zon and the rest Of the Philippine ISL
ands and they claim that if the United
States bases it's claims upon humanity
and civilization, Spain will prove that
there is no higher civilization in any Of
the Asiatic colonies than in the Span
ish colonies in Asia.
The rumor that the Rothschilds are
to lend Spain a large sum of money
when the treaty of peace is signed is
denied here Officials of the SDaniSh
government claim that the Bank Of
Spain is able to supply the immediate
demands of the government.
