The packers at the battle of Santi-
ago de Cuba were all heroes. Their
heroic efforts in getting ammunition
and rations to the front saved the day.
p. =. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23rd, says: owe all had diar-
rhoea in more or less viclont form,
and when we landed We had no time
to see o Doctor, for it was case OF
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diatrhoea
Remedy, we we're able to keep at work
and keep our health; in fact, I sim
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour
Of our army, FOR If the packers had
been unable to work there would have
been no wsy Of getting suppliea TO the
front. There were no roads that o
wagon train could use. My comrade
and myself had the good fortune to
lay in supply of this medicine for
our pack-train before we left Tampa,
and I know in four cases it absolutely
saved life"

The town and country residences Of
the Captain General ard his deputies

1t is the belief of high officers of
the United States army that only such
Spanish laws will be enforced in Cuba
by the Military Governor as will not
conflict with the laws of America.
AS In Santiago, SO in the rest of the
island, it seems likely that the Span
ish authorities will be kept in Office
for a time, though their administra-
will be shaped according to the ideas
of the Americans. The municipal and
provincial machinery will be set in
action and property rights of all kinds
and of all people will be respected.
In this connection it is interesting to
recall the reply Of the British consul
III Manila to the old Spanish dame
who thought pillage and rapine would

the work OF these provisional officers

There is another problem the solu-
tion of which may begin with the tenn
porary Military Governor, and that is
the medical and sanitary question.
Havana has for many years been the
pest hole Of the continent. From this
foul city came all of the yellow fever

foothold on our Gulf coast. Havana

Available Public Lands.
Rochester Herald,

At q time when Expansion is the
usual Is given to the report OF the GEO.
rotary of the interior on the question
of the public lands at present unappro-
priated to private uses. This report
would seem to refute the contention
that we already have more land than
will actually be required in this couu-
try for centuries.
He shows that of q total of ]. $50. $685.
972 acres of public domain, 637 ,339, 422
acres have been appropriated and are
now occupied; 139, 516,276 acres have
been reserved for various purposes, in
Guiding 40, 719, Ala acres .as permanent
forest reserves; $40 1868, PA acres still
remain unoccupied, of which 262, 651 .971
acres are unsurveyed. Ninety-four per
cent. of the unoccupied area Is classed
as desert lands, and only about II ,OOO,-
600 acres are capable of cultivation
either by irrigation or under the ma
tural rainfall. This indicates how near
the agricultural land belonging to the
government is exhausted. During the
last year II. 328, OBJ acres were disposed
of to private settlers, and 1,O32, 534
acres to railways. The forest reserva-
tiOns which are permanently with
drawn from settlement for the purpose
of preserving the tim bers and project
ing the sources of the streams, are sit
uated in the following states and ter
ritories: Arizona, 1851 go acres,

Utah, S75, 500; Wyoming, 3,196, 100
There still remains in some of the
older states large areas of public lands
that have never been taken up, but
most Of them are practically worthless.
In Alabama there are 522, 1913 acres; in
Arkansas 3, 696, 800 acres; in Florida,

:The largest area ofsunoccupied public
land Is in Montana, where there are
over II. 900 900 acres, more than four
ffths OF the entire territory. In North
and South Dakota only half the land is
occupied; in Oregon only one-third of
1t. In Utah, out of a total of 81 900, 900
acres, only 5000, 600 are occupied.

pality, becoming convinced that their
peace officers we're dishonest, and were
using their official positions to make
money over and above their salaries,
by winking at attractions of the city
ordinances, and otherwise encouraging
crime, quietly organized law and or

gate official corruption. The result
was astonishing. In fact, it was so as

whole police force were glad to hand

happened in our sister state of Missis-

General Grant was an expansionist.
In his special message on San DOmin-
go he told the senate that the &C.
QUESTION of territory on that island
would be ''a rapid stride toward the
greatness which the Intelligence, in
dustry and enterprise of the citizens OF
the United States entitle this country
to assume among natiOns;" and
in his second inaugural address to
the American people, he said:
81 do not share in the apprehension
held by many as to the danger Of gov
ernments becoming weakened and de-
stroyed by reason of their extension
of territory. Commerce, education,
and rapid transit of thought and matter
by telegraph and steam have changed
all this. Rather I believe that our
Great Maker is preparing the world,
in his own good way, to become one
nation, speaking one language, and
when armies and navies will no longer
be required"
Admiral Dewey seems to be of some
what the same opinion, for in his let

university, dated October 3, speaking
of the Philippines, he says: II trust
the entire archipelago will be retained
by the United States. Any other ar

GOVERNOR LEEDY was 80 anxious to
get in some work for his populistic
horde before his administration should
be succeeded by that of the republicans
that he called special session of the
legislature, which has now convened.
The program is a long one. Discus
sions will be hurried as much as pos
sible, and work will be railroaded
through the legislature as quickly as
can be. However, there is q strong
lobby at the capital in opposition to
the various measures proposed by the
populists. The first matter to receive
attention will be a bill empowering
the state board of railroad commission
ers to fix maximum freight rates and
Investing the board with the power of
q district court. Other proposed
measures directed against the railroads
doing business in Kansas include a law
TO reduce freight rates twenty-five per
cent, law to reduce passenger rates
from three cents to two cents mile; q
law reducing Pullman fares fifty per
cent, and several other measures
along the same line. If any time is left
after these measures are disposed Of,
the governor and his friends have sew
eral other bills to which they will ask
the Legislators to give attention. The
long haired law makers will probably
be asked to embrace this last opportu-
nifty to put into law some of the time
honored planks of the populist plat
ment of q state stock yards, establish
ing state insurance, and an amended
law for municipal ownership of public
utilities. It looks truly like scheme
to save the country in a minute, and
for the sake of Kansas let us hope that
the Pop. Gov. will fail in his efforts.

NEW MEXICO and Arizona are not

statehood. Oklahoma Is pushing to
the front, and together with her asser-
tion that the territory has $50, 900 pop
ulstion and every natural advantage
for the building of a state no less i'm
portant than Ohio, comes the sugges-
tion that the admission of Oklahoma
would give the republicans two moro
senators in congress, and that the per-

probably be with the republicans.
Oklahoma is section of our vast ooun-

The Governors secretary remarked that it

LAST OF PHILIPPINE RECRUITS.
Capt. Black VIII Send a Batch of Ten
TO-DnV.

Captain Black, of the United States re-
cruiting office in this city, has completed
his enlistment of men for PHILIPPINE service
and will send away the last batch of ten to-
day at 10 o'clock. Almost simultaneously
with the departure of these men will be the
arrival of the first contingent sent to that
service last Tuesday, at the Preside at San
francisco this morning. Exceptional pains
were taken with regard to these men to see
that they made the trip in comfort, each
man being provided with sleeping accom-
modations en- route beside being supplied
with sufficient money to pay for three meals
day at the rate of fifty cents a meal. If
there has been any doubt as to the final
destination of these men that doubt was dis
PEELED yesterday when Captain Black re-
ceived a telegram from Major Hess of the
Third Regular Artillery, stationed at the
PreSido follows: Captain William
Black: How many men have you sent for
the Philippine battalion" signed Hess,
commanding First Battalion, Third Artil-
derry"
Thus it will be seen. that one battalion of
the Third Heavy Artillery is booked to go to
the Philippines beyond doubt and as the or
ders were to have the men there within ten
days, the chances are that the move will be
made with the present expedition. Captain
Black wired at once that the first of the
lightweight men would arrive in San Fran
cisco before noon to-day.
Hereafter recruits for the heavy artillery
will be sent to Pensacola.

MIGHT BE COL. PENNINGTON.
Guess as to Identity of New Colonel,
who Comes To-Day.

At II o'clock last night Colonel Wilson
informed a Journal reporter that he had
received telegram from the man to whom
the colonelcy of the Observation-Disclosures
first Regiment had been rendered saying he
would be here this afternoon to confer on
the question. Colonel Wilson refused to in
any way intimate who was the sender of the
telegram.
Another guess as to the identity of the
new colonel-to-be fixes on the name of Col.
George H. Pennington, of New Albany, who
was incapacitated from going to the front
with his own militia regiment by being
thrown from his horse on the second day
after the opening of Camp Mount. Colonel
Pennington'S claim to the position is looked
on as a strong one, from the fact that he
is experienced officer and would now,
had he not been injured. be in active service,
as he wishes to be. Recently, after the Sec
ond proclamation, Colonel Pennington, in
letter to the Governor, stated that his in
jured leg had almost healed and he eX
pressed wish to be allowed to form new
regiment. AS he stated that he would not be
able to resume actual duty for about three
expected that by that time the second quota
would be at the front. In view of the fact
that Colonel Pennington might claim to be
logically entitled to first claim on the regi-
ment, 1t is thought not unlikely that he is
the officer who is expected to arrive in the
city to-day. He comes under the status of
men living outside the city who would not
have to buy new shoulder straps" in the
language of Colonel Wilson.
