DELAYING OCCUPATION.
SpRnish SlOth Prevents Porto Rice
being Turned Over to Us.

Spnnish Sloth Prevents Porto Rico
Being Turned Over to Us.
San Juan. Porto Rico, Oct. 10.-The
American forces occupied the towns Of
Carolina and q 9ovanos on Oct. s. and
Cayuas was tEs-N/- possession of by
them the following day. The United
States steamer Cincinnati has returned
here and the Spanish steamer Alicante
has sailed for Spain. 1t Is said that by
Oct. 10 San Juan, Rio Pierdras and Ba-
yamon will be the only places remain
ing in possession Of the Spaniards, but
no inforla ton Is obtainable regard
ing the arrival of the necessary tran
sports to remove the remaining $500
persons--tl oops and officials and their
families-who are to be sent to Spain.
The Spanish possession of tenth
of the island, including the capital,
which can be indefinitely prolonged by
SPANS failure to furnish transports,
manfestly causes much inconvenience
to the Americans. who occupy the other
nine-tenths, as San Juan Is of great
value as main point of distribution.
II the Spanish do not take effective
steps to remove the GARRISON now re-
naming, the formal delivery of the is
land to the Americans and the raising
of the stars and strips over San Juan
will be indefinitely postponed, these
ceremonies being dependent upon the
Spanish evacua ton.
1t is believed that the American COM
missioners are making a strong effort
to bring about the completion of the
transfer of the island to the United
States, experimenting that acts of vio-
lence may be committed by the island
ers If the formal delivery does not take
place soon. There are rumors ofdestruc-
ton of property in the interior, but few
of the reports are warranted.
The condition Of Senior. Arlegui, cap.
tain Of the civil guard at Bayamon, who
was stabbed on the night Of Oct. 4, is
improving. All the persons arrested on
suspicion of b"ing implicated in the af-
fair, with the exception of DR.. St. Hall
and one other have been set at liberty.
DR.. st. Hall and the other prisoner, who
Is retained in custody, declare that they
are absolutely innocent OF any connec-
ton with the crime.
Four more American regiments and
four batteries Of artillery will be sent
home, being replaced by newly arrived
troops. 1t is stated officially that there
is no yellow fever in Porto Rico. Mrs.
Gordon, wife of General w. w. Gordon
of the American military commission, is
here with her husband.
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-10-10

1t has been reiterated so many times
that Barre is the most progressive city
in Vermont, if not of its size in all New
England, that one runs the risk of hear
ing the cry of "chestnut" if he speaks
upon that subject. 1t is fact however
that Barre has the hustle Of n genuine
western Loom city, and like so many of
them it depends upon single Enter
prise for its prosperity.
Every granite manufacturer, merchant
banker or representative of any trade
or professor knows that when the store
business is dull our city is dead. At
present our eggs are all in one basket,
and the liability Of an accident which
may upset the whole business prosper
ity of this active little trade center is
constantly before us.
With one memorable exception there
has lis yet been nothing to disturb our
progress since first the boom began,
but the shrewd. farsighted man of bust
ness in looking into the future can see a
possible time when there may be a
check to our present prosperity, caused
by slackening of the granite business.
1t is always safe to cast an anchor to
windward and the city fathers and rep
resentatives of business enterprise should
wake up from their legarlhy and see
that board of trade he established, and
different lines of business receive en-
enlargement.
Barre is the natural center for large
surrounding district Of Itch farming
country, and with new industries locat-
ed here and more convenient lines of
transportation, our city will quickly be-
come what we all so fondly hope it may
be, the metropolis of northern New
England.
The sooner the people of Barre come
to their senses and lend material aid to
the construction of an electric road from
here, through East Barre to Washington,
the sooner will this hope becomv a
splendid reality. The people OF these
two villages and the surrounding farm
ing district want easier access to the adj
vantages of our city markets, and we
want their marbles, GRANTEES, lumber
and farm produce. Let the citizens of
Barre unite with them and assist in the
construction of the proposed line of
electric railway.

An enterprising editor of one of our
exchanges remarks thai the new daily
paper in Montpelier is the best one ever
printed there and that it is too bad that
the Capitol city can not support such a
good daily paper during the whole year.
This is a pretty hard grind on Atkins
and Buzzell but, brethren, it must be
that there is one state exchange that
you have omitted 10 place upon your
lists else this "break" would not have
been made.

Iowa md Oregon May BE DELAYED.

Washington, Oct. 10.-It Is stated at
the navy department that in all proba-
blity the battleships Iowa and Oregon
will not be able to start from New York
for Honolulu before next Wednesday.
The instructions to Captain Barker, the
senior officer commanding the Oregon,
are to sail as soon as the ships are ready
for the voyage, but there are some
matters of equipment that Is is desira-
BILE to add to the ships before they sail,
and as there Is really no necessity for
their departure in advance of the COL
liers Scindia and Sterling there will be
no real delay by deferring the start until
next Wednesday.

Indians Are Gathering.

Duluth, Oct. 10.-G. G. Hartley. who
has just returned from Cass Lake,
says:
I'VE camped Thursday night near the
east shore of Cass Lake, and Indians
We're seen passing south all day, and in
the evening the trails in that vicinity
were travelled by them in that direc-
ton. The Indians were coming from
the camps and villages on Cass Lake,
Red Lake, Ball Club, Turtle Lake and
the Winnibiogoshish country.
Most of the Indians were hurrying
to the camps of the Pillagers on the
northern shores of Leech Lake. They
are welled armed and equipped. Wheth-
er or not they intend to Join with the
Pillagers in fighting against the soldiers
l do not know. AS to the results of the
battle on the shore of Leech Lake, the
Indians consider that the Pillager band
has wen victory over the soldiers"
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-10-10

various towns throughout the state al
ready have been organized companies
enough to form two or three regiments
and some of these companies are al
ready we'll drilled.
State Auditor Dunn, who has spent
more than 20 years in the neighborhood
of the hostile Indians, said:
Every one who has had dealings
with these Indians knows that they are
the worst lot Of vagabonds that ever
disgraced their Creator. The only way
to deal with them is to exterminate
them. They will make life miserable
for the people in their neighborhood
until they are extinct"

Bacon Ordered to Aid.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-Upon receipt OF
Governor Clough's message General
Corbin visited the White House and
showed it to the president. An order
was sent to General Bacon directing
him to confer with Governor Clough
and to station troops along the line
of the railroad in the vicinity OF the
recent troubles in such number as will
prevent any danger to the people and
to allay their alarm.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Will
liam A. Jones left here for Minnesota.
He will have personal talk with the
disaffected men and endeavor to in
duce them to dispense quietly and sub
init to the regular process of the law.
Commissioner Jones is convinced that
a talk with the leaders and an assur-
ance given them that they would be
protected and rightly treated would
bring about a cessation of hostilities.

The ScourEe In Louisiana,

New Orleans, Oct. 10.-The yellow
fever reports show total of 465 cases
of yellow fever in Louisiana this sum-
mer and 30 deaths, and 351 cases In Mis-.
sissippi and IS deaths; total in the two
states, S16 cases and 65 deaths.
The Southern Pacific, or Morgan
Steamship line between here and New
York, has changed it's terminus to Sa-
bine Pass, Tex, in consequence of the
fever and the numerous guarantees in
force. The Texas authorities refused
to allow any freight from New York
landing at Algiers, opposite New Or
leans, to enter Texas and in order to
prevent the complete stoppage of its
line it became necessary to move to
Texas territory. The Clinton is now on
the way to Sabine Pass with the clerks
and freightmen of the steamship line,
The vessel will be used as temporary
offices and quarters for the men.

Amongst the other indications that
Barre has a brilliant future before her
is the boom given to the sale of our
granite by Rockefeller who had the good
judgment to order his family monument
to be cut from the best granite in the

Granite City of Vermont.

ONlcinls Lose Heart.

Mobile, Oct. 10.-The yellow fever situ-
alton has grown so grave in Mississippi
that officials have lost heart. It has
started in several new places. In the
smaller towns new cases are reported
daily in unexpected quarters. Hatties-
burg, Lumberton and Natchez have
been added to the list, while oxford.
Fayette, Starkville, Edwards and
Water Valley all report that the infec-
ton is spreading. w. T. Dick, promi-
nent merchant of Taylor's, is a victim
in that town, where conditions have not
improved.
Realizing that their efforts were I'M
availng, the state board of health sent
the following appeal for aid to the fed
eral government:
ITO the President Of the United States,
Washington:
I'm consequence of the yellow fever
and quarantine there is already great
restitution in stricken communities Of
this state. At this place 80 per cent Of
the white population are absent, and
several thousand negroes are out Of
employment and subsistence. Many Of
them are cordoned in originally infected
districts. Local and personal contribu-
tions have ceased, so that the situation
is one of increasing distress Under a
state statute the board of health Is
authorized, with the consent Of the gov
ernor, when occasion demands, to call
upon the general government for such
financial and medical aid as necessities
arising out of any epidemic may re-
quire. We could from this point assist
all other affected communities and we
need provisions for about 5000 persons
here and at other places for about 30
days; also money to pay nurses.
