Under the general expenses of State,
an item for the maintenance of the

amounts to S253,214.
These figures are considered very in
teresting by officials here, as showing
that the burdens of taxation upon the
people of Cuba can be largely reduced

CONDUCTOR TEMPLE.
State Department Making Strong
Effort to Secure His Release.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE State
Department is making strong efforts TO
secure the release of the American,
Temple, who is now in Mexican jail
on the charge of murder committed IN
the United States, and it has instructed
Powell Clayton, United States Minister
to Mexico. to address himself directly
to the Mexican Foreign Office on that
subject.
The principle involved in the case IS
regarded as of the highest Importance,
for if Temple is held for trial by the
Mexican authorities it will amount TO
an admission on the part of the United
States to the right of Mexico to exer-
else extra territorial jurisdiction over
American soil. substantially the
same claim was involved in the cele-
brated Cutting case, which came near
causing a breach of friendly relations,
and it arose again in the more recent
case of Leonardo Pacheco. Cutting
was released by the Mexican Govern
ment only after trial. Pacheco was
released, but not on our demand, and
in no case has the Mexican Government
surrendered it's view that it had right
to try a person in Mexico for an offense

The Remains Of the Five China

Into the Cause of the Collision
Begun Before the United States

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. lit is
now thought that by Wednesday the
river steamer j. D. Peters will be in
such condition that she can be towed
from the Sausalito mud flats to Stock

in commission.
The remains of the five Chinese re-
ported as missing have not as yet been
recovered, although one of the divers
employed claims to have seen one body,
but refused to hold the remains, as no
reward had been offered for their re-
cOvery.
The investigation into the cause of
the collision was begun to-day before
the United States Inspector. Pilot
Mcneil and the Captains of the two
vessels testified, and an adjournment
was taken until tomorrow.

Pacheco for two years. 1t is not al al
probable that any such delay Will De
permitted in the Temple case, for the
Arizona authorities might easily bring
the matter to an issue by demanding
the extradition of Temple for kiiling

But even accepting the Mexican con-
tention that it could try an American
for killing a Mexican in the sUnited
States, it seems probable that the State
Department can demonstrate that the

pie, was not, as his name would Imply,

say that he was born in that Territory,
and although his parents were unnat-
uralized Mexicans, under our law ne

DEPARTMENT OF SUBSISTENCE.
GEN. EGAN'S REPORT TO SEC
RETARY OF WAR.
There is Still Balance of Over
$2O,OOO,OOO to the Credit Of
the Bureau.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE re-
port cf Charles P. Egan, Commissary
of Subsistence of the Army, has been
submitted to the Secretary of War. 1t
shows an expenditure of S6,00S, ,715,
with balance of $30,220,6S9 to the
credit of the bureau. General Egan
comes to the Santiago campaign, of
which he says:
"A very serious freight blockade at
and in the neighborhood of Tampa, in
May and June, 1898, was caused by
the celerity with which the troops and
their supplies were concentrated at that
place in preparation for the invasion of
the island of Cuba This blockade was
a matter of grave concern to the Sub
sistence Department, and it was only
after the most peremptory orders of the
Commissary General of Subsistence to
unload the cars and to hire warehouses
if necessary that the officers of the de-
partment on the spot We're enabled with
unflagging zeal and untiring energy to
so far extricate the department to per-
nit the taking by the Fifth Army
Corps, when it sailed on June 14th,
supply of rations sufficient to last the
command of 10000 enlisted men for
four months, and the s1lding on June
Goth, 27the and 2Sth of further sup
plies"
After giving in detail what supplies
were sent to Cuba, General Egan says:
1T will be thus seen that all dill
gence was used by the Commissary
General Of Subsistence in placing sub
sstence stores within reach of the
troops operating against Santiago.
Upon landing in Cuba these stores of
the expedition We're subject to the or
ders of the General commanding, who
was in paramount control of the mil
itary operations in that quarter
After quoting a number of official
orders the General says:
"It is evident from the foregoing
statements that the subsistence stores
shipped for the use of the army in Cuba
have been at all times in excess of i'm
mediate needs. Besides being availa-
BILE for our own troops, they afforded
relief to the Cuban army, and to the
destitute population which abandoned
the city of Santiago when PREPARATIONS
for it's destruction had been made The
official returns from Cuba, showing In
detail the issues made to these several
classes of persons and others contem-
plated by law have not yet been re-
ceived, and there is not in this office
any information throwing light on the
subject of the provisioning of the ships
which brought the army back further
than there was an abundance of sub
sistence stores in Santiago and vicin-
ity."
A considerable portion of the report
is devoted to what was done at Mon
tauk, the important features being pub
lished at the time the Fifth Corps was
there There are also details of the
furnishing of supplies at Chickamauga
and other camps as we'll as for the
Philippine and Porto Rico expeditions.

In this city in behalf of the Donkho-

cuted Russian sect, they will be taken
10 the extreme west of Manitoba.
Mr.. Maude has lived in Moscow for

Count Tolstoi became interested in
these peasants. Last August he found
that the Canadian Government would
give free land-16O acres to each fami-
ly-besides a bonus of Sc to each per-
son and shelter through the winter for
the 1000 persons that are expected to
leave Russia soon The remainder of
the Sect he said, would come over next
spring
The peasants did not have enough
money to bring them to Canada, but
what was missing has been raised in
England, chiefly from Quakers and by
the sale of a story written by Tolstoi
years ago, but laid aside as of no i'm
portance. Mr.. Maude said that the
fund now being raised in this coun-
try is wanted to assist in procuring
agricultural implements and horses
and COWS.
Mr.. Maude said that it is not true
that the Russian Government has given
the Donkhobortsi two years in which
to emigrate. The permission to emf
CRATE was given last February, and
may be recalled at any time, which is
the reason for the haste to get these
people out of Russia. He said that the
Dowager Empress was mainly instru-
mental in securing this decree. She
was travelling through the Caucasus.
