UNHAPPY PUERTO RICO.
The spnniards Who I9hnbit ths
Islands Have "a varied List
of Misfortunes.

Those early settlers may we'll have
deserved their fate; still, one may hard
" withhold sympathy from them in
their many and varied misfortunes. In
1915 they had a visitation of ants which
dcvoured everything before them; and
then soon after the insects had been
driven away or destroyed, an epidemic
of the smallpox decimated their ranks,
swiftly followed by another disease,
more insidious, but scarcely leas ia
tai in its effects. In 1929 French pirates
burned the town of San German, on the
south coast; the fierce Caribs ravaged
the eastern provinces. carrying of some

Dutch attack was repclled in 1915, and
another English attempt defeated in

The MORO of San Juan, standing well
out at sea, was chip on the Spanish
shoulder, at which passing ships could
not resist taking a shot or two. The last
great attack upon San Juan, previous

year, was IN 1907, by the English, under
Abercrombie, who were compelled tc
retire after three days siege.

vnn wrck wln Accept.

NEW YORK, oct. Judge Van
Wyck will accept the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination. The decision
was reached yesterday afternoon after
the Judge and his brother had had a
two hours consultation at the formers
Brooklyn residence. At the time the
decision to accept was finally reached
two other conclusions were reached
One was that the candidate should
make a vigorous campaign In all the
more important cities of the state; the
other, that it was reasonable to sup
pose that the voters would not allow
mere sentiment. awakened by Roose-
velt's part in the war, TO blind them 10
the real issues involving the welfare
of the state that are now before the
people. Quite a number of the promi-
nent Democrats OF Brooklyn and New
York called upon Judge Van Wyck dur
ing the day. Some of them at least went
away happy that the doubt that has
surrounded the Democratic candidates
intentions had at last been removed.

EVACUATION OF CUBA
Spain Will No Longer Con.
tend For Delay.
MANY SOLDIERS WILL REMAIN.
VIII Become Cuban CitIzens-United
states VIII Probably lie In Full
Control Jan. 1-Camps Meade
and Black to BE Abandoned.

WASHINGTON, Oct. If the pres
ent plans are carried out, il is expect
ed that the evacuation of Cuba win
have been completed by Dec. 81, and
the new year Will see the American
colors raised all over the island.
1t is now believed the plans Will lie
carried out, because advices yesterday
from the military commission in Ha-
vana indicate that Spain will no longer
contend for delay. 1t is said that the
transports which took the prisoners
from Santiago will promptly return to
Cuba to facilitate a speedy evacua-
tion. These transports have capacity
of %, ,00O. 1t is not likely that more than
10000 or $4,000 soldiers will return to
Spain. The other $4,000 or 10000 will
remain, lay down their arms and be-
come citizens of the island. This, II is
considered, WIN be in nowise objection
able to this government
Secretary Alger said yesterday that
30, 600 or 10000 United States troops will
be stationed in Cuba at points which
VIII probably be decided upon within
the next few days. 1t is the plan Of
the administration not TO consolidate
any great number of troops in any one
place. The army of occupation Will
probably consist of four infantry divi-
sions and one cavalry division. The
plan Of keeping the Seventh army corps
together will doubtless be abandoned,
and on this point General Fitz-Hugh
Lee has been in conference with Secre-
tary Alger.
Colonel TTecker of the quartermasterf
department, who has been in the south
for, tho last fvn weeks looking over
points that were most suitable for en-
barkation, has recommended Charleston
and Savannah. The report of Colone
Hecker has been submitted to Quarter
master General Ludington.
1t has been decided to abandon CamI
Meade, Camp Black and the camp al
Lexington, Ky. Secretary Alger said
that the troops there would be sent t'
camps in the south not yet settled up
on, but the winter camps will all bi
within the limits of Georgia and Soutl
Carolina. Orders will be issued vorl
soon for the movement of troops, 50
that they may not be exposed to thl
hardships of the northern climate.
When asked as to the disposition o
the whole army, Secretary Alger salt
that with 1900 men in Porto Rico, 90,
900 in the Philippines and from $4,000 Il
10000 in Cuba there would not be NOR
than about $4,000 left These would ei
ther be IN the southern camps or as
signed to stations.
How long Will they remain in tn
southern camps?" Secretary Alger wa
asked.
LAS long as they are needed in tn
service" he replied.

AMERICAN MEAT IN BRITAIN.
Two-Thirds OF the beef Consumed
by Englishmen Comes from

Tables issued of the quantities and
values OF the various forms of agri-
cultural produce imported into the
United Kingdom show a further in
crease over those of the immediate
preceding year alike in the groups of
live animals. of dead meat, of dairy
products, of eggs and of poultry. Meas
ured IA aggregate value, the payments
made for Imports of animal produce
in 1897 exceeded ell, 100000. which is
a larger total than has before been re-
corded, the more material increases

development of the ment-consuming
power of the population, which was the
eubiect Ct detailed examination in the
report of the returns for 1896. More
meat, home and foreign, in the aggre-
gate was available in 1897 than In any
previous year, and the growth Of sup

point to the consumption of 13i pounds

an average of 1872 pounds per annun
