that the ownership of the land surround

acquired by the Government to protect
first, the supply, and then the purity of
the water, and he quietly went to work
and purchased what land he did not al

the Blackwell Durham Company by the
Union Tobacco Company is likely to have
it's effect on the stock of the American
Tobacco Company. The.people in the
new company are said TO protest that
they have no intention of fighting the
trust, but if they are to make cigarettes
and make them in large quantities, as
now seems certain, they cannot be sue
cessful without taking a large amount
of business away from the trust. The
reople in the Union Company are backed
by immense capital and they have expert

CUBANS PETITION
For the Removal of the Archbishop of
Santiago.

New York, Sept. 27-A dispatch to
the Herald from Santiago de Cuba says:
Owing to the strong animus shown by
the archbishop of. Santiago during the
war; more than hundred prominent
Cubans today presented a petition to
General Wood praying that representa-
tion be made to the vatican for his re-
mOval and for the appointment OF
Father Luis Mustellir, canon of the
church here, as his successor.
Father Mustel1ir has sympathy for
the Cubans and is well liked in the
United States by Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Ireland.
Strong representations have been
made by Father MusteIlir to General
church in the province. He stated
that property held amounted to more
than sufficient to cover all the eccles-
iastical expenses and even to contrib
ute to the state besides. He has also
proposed scheme for the establish
ment of parochial primary schools un-
der church management.
Little doubt is expressed here that the
archbishop will be removed as with his
cOnnivance much church property has
been removed surreptitiOusly since the
American occupation.
General Wood has formally completed
the organization of a rural police force
for Santiago province. 1t is based on
the Mexican rural system, half civil
and half military. There will be
mounted priVates with nOn-commis-
stoned officers and the lower grades of
officers-Cubans and officers of the
higher grades-Americans
For arms they will have machetes.
carbines and revolvers. Recruits must
pass a strict physical and mental ex-
animation and must be of good char
acter and take the oath acknowledging
the supremacy of the United States.
Soldiers of the Cuban army who volun-
tarily surrender their arms, take the
oath and pass the examination, will
have the preference.
The force is to be broken up into de-
tachments, stationed in the central part
of each district of the province. Each
detachment will be under the COM
mand of an American officer Pay of
the privates will be the same as that
of soldiers in the American army. Of
ficerS' pay has not yet been fixed.
Recommendation for establishment
of the force were drawn up and submit
ted to Washington. Colonel Hood of
the Second irnmunes, will be offered the
command, with the rank of colonel, but

$4,000 MEN ENOUGH.
It is Now Thought This Will Be a
Sufficient Force for Cuba

Washington, Sept. 27-Commander Ea-
ton of the Resolute has been given ad-
American military commission at Havana.
The exact need for this is not known at
Deen made at the request of the commits
sion, but it is supposed that Admiral
examina ton of the Spanish naval proper
ties scattered among the various Cuban
thorities are deeply concerned as to the
dlsposltlon of this property to be made
by the commission, and owing to its pc
culiar status, being not captured yet actu-
any subject to the disposal or the com
mission, it is not easy for them to foreSee

tions on this point.

the Spanish officials in a large measure
ridded the question of evacuation of the
urgency that attached to it. So long a

MED the relief that might come to them
from the United States government and

ment officials. in order that akine pos

our government is free to do this under
existing conditions, there is not the same
necessity for haste and the war depart
ment will not be obliged to force Amer
lean troops in numbers into Cuba in the
very worst part of the season, SO far
health conditions are concerned.
Therefore. while the American and Span
ish commissioners at Havana are still
seeking to reach an agreement as to the
time to be allowed for evacuating the ISL
and. it may be said that the president ex-
poets that the result will be a compro-
mise between the details mentioned on
each side. and that the movement will be-
gin toward the latter part of October and
be concluded soon after New Years. This
will accord very well with the plans of
the war department, as it will enable it to
avoid sending to Cuba any considera BILE
number of soldiers. The healthy season
is well under way. It is the present pur-
pose to make the replacement OF the Span
ish forces in detail, not sending over any
large expedition, but establish a garrison
at one point after another. beginning prob
ably at the western end of the island.
The authorities have reached the con-
clusiOn. in view of the spirit shown by
the Cubans as reported to them, that it
will not be necessary to have nearly so
large force as was at first anticipated
and it is thought now that no more than
25 900 men will be required.
