The Trouble With The Indians

WALKER, MINI. Oct S.-While flags
are flying on Bear Island and General
Bacon and his command, aside from the
dead and wounded, are here. 1t looks,
however, decidedly like drawn battle.
Old Bog May-Ked Shink, the chief
of the pillagers, is still at large and
none of the reds who murdered soldiers
from ambush on Wednesday have been
captured. General Bacon claims to
have whipped the indians, but up to
this hour the trophies of his triumph
appear 10 be decidedly meagre in num-
and importance. General Bacon says
he does not know whether there will be
further trouble or not. He said: eve
have driven back the enemy at every
point until finally he has disappeared.
Whether he will reappear remains to be
seen. I now have ample forces for any
emergency that is likely to develop.
Upon the outcome OF council possibly
depends the developments of the i'm
mediate future"
ST. PAUL, MINI, Oct. S.-The situa-
ton has become suddenly more desper-
ate and General Bacon's command will
remain indefinitely.
LATHRoP, MIMI, Oct. S-A number
of hostile Indians are in the vicinity
aud the people are much excited.
BRAINERD, Mimi, Oct. S-Excite-
ment prevails along the line of the
Northern Pacific from st. Paul to this
town. The people, although while out
side the region of danger, appear to
think a general Indian uprising is at
hand.

From Madrid,

MADRID, Oct. S.-The cabinet coun
Gil which was held yesterday was sum
moned to hear the reading of kilograms
from Senior Montero Rios, president Of
the Spanish peace commission in Paris.
These dispatches said that the Ameri-
can com missioners demand on behalf OF
the United States possession of all OF
the Philippine islands, but the Ameri'
can government will undertake to as
sumo the debt of the islands provided
that Spain pays the Cuban debt. The
Spanish strongly object 10 this, insist
ing that the United States accept the
Cuban debt and allow Spain to take
the war material from Cuba and Porto
Rico. The government has fully ex-
pected that the Americans would as.
sumo the Cuban debt. The complete
evacuation of Porto Rico is expected
by October Is. The public has no ex-
pectation of any definite results from
the Paris commission.
The Spanish Transatlantic company
has gathered twenty-one ships with
which to bring the troops in Cuba back
to Spain.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, ard that is by COL
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition of the mucous lining
of che Eustachian Tuoe. When this tube is
nfsmed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and uoles5 the in

restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine ca:es out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

SATURDAY EVENING. OCT. 5, 1898.

BEFORE THE flibusters in this coun-
try had stirred up the lazy and i'm
provident negroes and scalawsgs OF
Cuba to instruction, ten thousand
Spanish soldiers were amply sufficient
to enforce law and preserve order
among the people of that island, under
the alleged tyrannous and unbearsble
rule of the Spaniards. But now, under
the rule of the "freest and best govern
ment on the face of the earth" force
three times as large and ten times as
expensive is deemed requisite for that
purpose. Lavish expenditures, how
ever, are the necessary Accomplishments
of imperialism, and that too, no matter
how the money to meet them be raised

IMPERIALISM IN this country is ad-
vancing rapidly. In Baltimore the
other day the colonel of q negro regi-
ment held up train on the B. q O.
Railroad for more than an hour, in or
der that he and his staff might have time
to eat their luncheon of leisure. And
the officials of the road had to submit, in
the presence of his armed soldiers. But
there must be imperialistic ways under
imperial governments.

1.-The people of Cuba are starving,
and unless something is done there will
be very few of them LETT in the island.
The country is devastated, the people
have had no opportunity to plant and
raise crops; they have no money to
purchase supplies and what food there
is in the island is beyond their reach. "
But the war mas been over for nearly
three months, and it was fought, nomi-
nally at least, to supply the insurgents
with food and to bring them peace and
prosperity. Many ofthem have already
realized the fact that their last state Is
worse than their first.

centrados whose horrors, according to
yellow journals, made the life of other
people there miserable, has shufiled OF
his mortal coil and freed the earth Of

for the conquest of Porto Rico, Cuba

and are hurrying to do so, lest some

PAINFUL SHOOTING ACCIDENTS.
About two or three weeks ago while
some we'll grown boys were fooling
with an old gun at Mr. Richard Robin
SONS house, few miles above bere,
the gun was discharged and blew of
the arm of young Renaldu, of Manas'
sas nephew of Mr.. Robinson. 1t
seems that the gun had been snapped
repeatedly without going off, when
one of the boys applied a match to the
tube. which caused the discharge just
as young Renaldu was passing in front.
His arm was severed from his body at
his shoulder and hung by slight piece
of flesh. DR.. Moncure was summo ned,

comfortable as possible.
