MANILA LETTER.
CApIz. Aug. 2, 1898.

CADIz, Aug. 2, 1898
DEAR SISTER, thought that
I would drop you few lines to
let you know how / am. I am
well at this time, and hope you
are all the same. I had a nice
trip across the deep blue sea. It
is very wet here as it rains every
day. We were 35 days coming
across the ocean, and have not
landed yet, and may not land
until Dewey is ready to fight
Five of the Utah boys were kill
ed and q wounded night before
last. The Spaniards kept firing
shells into the u. S. boys all
night long, but as soon as the
Monterey gets here we will show
them how to throw shells. There
were five deaths ON the trans
ports coming over, and broke
down four times, that was all the
accidents that they had. | viii
write as soon as the fight is over
at Manila If / live. / tell you
that it looks IS though Dewey
was awful mad when he had the
fight with Spain's gunboats, as
you can see five of them all shot
to peices any day, lying close to
shore. We have 5O0prisoners to
guard in Cadiz. The Idaho boys
stood the trip better than any of
the soldiers, and were put in the
First Brigade. and will be sent
| to the front. Tell Tom that
sagebrush is awful scarce, but
bananas and coco-nut trees are
as thick as hair on a dogs back.
and to get them is to only pull
them off.
Well, goodbye for this time,
as | must close and clean my gun
for the Captain to look at see il
it is in good order.
Your loving Brother, Henry.
Kiss mother for me and may
God bless you both.

The Monitor Monterey had Orders to
Gather Them In.

New York, July 16.-A Washington
special to the Herald says: 1t is prac-
tically admitted in naval circles that
the report that the monitor Monterey
will take possession of the Caroline
Islands is correct. 1t is believed in
naval circles that she will have the
same experience in taking the Caro-
line Islands as did the Charleston in
the case of the Ladrones. Captain
Glass of the Charleston was thanked
by the governor of Guam, it will be
remembered, for saluting the Spanish
flag, and he stated he was unable to
return the salute because he had no
powder The Carolines are believed
to be practically in the same condi-
ton.
The Monterey will take to Manila
as prisoners of war the governor and
such other officials of the Spanish
government as it may be deemed adj
visable to remove.

AN OFFER TO UNCLE SAM
SpaniardS Suggest That the

ban Control.
Latter Decline, but Declare
They Will Guarantee to
Keep Order.

MADRID, Oct. lila Epoca, the Con-
servative organ says:
The negotiations at present are going
on without touching the question of the
Philippines, which is most obscure and
which lends itself to the gravest dissen-
sions. Owing to the vagueness and lack
of cleaness of the protocol the commits
sioners are meeting with serious difficult
ties. 1t has been said that if our adver-
saries are obstinate in their exaggerated
demands, Senior Sagasta should address
the European governments asking arbi-
tration at least upon the points upon
which arrangements could not be
reached, but in view of the political
struggles and the tone of the jingo press
in the United States, which asserts the
right of the conqueror to all acquired
territory taken, it is safe to say that
such a proposition would be without
avail"

PRESIDENT IN ATTENDANCE
Chicago's Peace Celebration
Formally Begun.
UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE
Immense Meeting at the Auditorium in
Which Many Denominations
Take Part.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-The national peace
jubilee of Chicago was inaugurated last
night with union thanksgiving service
at the Auditorium. President Mckinley
attended and listened to addresses by
DR.. Hirsch, Jewish rabbi; Rev.
Thomas Hornell, Roman Catholic
priest; Rev. John H. Barrows, a Presby-
terian clergyman, and Booker T. Wash
ington. the noted colored orator. The
applause for the president was terrific
and at one time he was compelled to
rise in his box and respond to the frantic
cheering of the audience. The services,
however, were of religious character
and at times the solemnity OF the vast
assemblage was much more eloquent
than the widest applause could be.
Fully $4,000 people We're within the
great Auditorium and probably as many
many more We're on the outside unable
to obtain admission.

OLD "BUG" ALONE OBJECTS
Was Largely Responsible for
the Trouble and Is OBJ
Stinate Still.
LeeCh Lake Indians Propose
to Take a Hand in the
Next Council.

WALKER, Mimi, Oct. 17.-The Indian
uprising is over. The developments Of
the day seem to show this beyond ques-
ton. A council will be held at Black
Duck Point and the Indians wanted by
the marshal will probably surrender at
that time. There may be delay, but
Wednesday is fixed by those in posi-
ton to know as the limit of time that
will be asked by the hostiles before sub
mitting TO arrest.
All signs indicate that the Indians are
sincere i'll their promise to end the war
by submitting. A council was held at
Black Duck Point, at which the situa-
ton was thoroughly discussed. A report
was made to the hostiles of the councils
held at the agency, and after the pro-
tracted discussions usual in such cases,
where the Indians are concerned, it was
decided to submit.
Old Bug Stands Out.
The only hostile who stands out is
Bug, the old man who has been largely
responsible for the trouble. He has not
agreed to surrender and opposes the pol
icy agreed upon. This, however, will
have no effect on the Pillagers. If Bug
declines to abide by the decision of the
council at Black Duck point, they will
hand him over to the authorities them
selves.
The council next Wednesday prom
ises to be quite interesting. A few
prominent Indians of Leech lake We're
in town and said the council Wednes-
day would develop something new.
They are tired of this horse play, and,
although they have kept quiet SO far,
they don't propose to keep silent any
longer.

THE AMERICANS REFUSE
Spain Desires the United states to Assume
Sovereignty I'm Cuba.

Spain Desires the United states to Assume
sovereignty I'm Cuba.
LONDON. Oct. 1.-THE Paris CORE
spoldent of The Times says:
In reply to published statements the
Spanish commissioners have stated that
the United States refuses to accept SOW
ereignty over Cuba, but would remain
in the island to maintain order and Sc
curity before handing it over to the gov
ernment Of the new republic. The
Spaniards, however argue that there
cannot be an interregum of sovereignty
and state cannot be left derelict as
such a situation would be simple an
archy. 1t should be mentioned that In
Cuba are an American evacuation COM
mission on the one hand and Spanish
commission on the other, and the many
interests still possessed by Spain in Cuba
would not be guaranteed if such an
archy existed.
