WORD FROM DR.. BoYNroN.
Believes Thai Seizure and Rule Ct West
Indies the Only Practical Elan.

Boston, Oct 3O.-Rev DR.. George M.
Boynton, secretary of the Congrega-
tional Sunday School and Publishing
Society, has received a letter from Rev.
GIN. Daley, superintendent of this So
ciety in South Dakota, who is on leave
of absence to serve as chaplain of the
First South Dakota infantry, United
States volunteers. now in Manila. The
letter is dated Sept 16. After speaking
of matters in general and referring to
the fine progress made in league work
among the boys, he says: Il can see
no need of the holding of a very great
force here long, unless it be impossi-
BILE to come to a decision as to what
disposition is to be made of the ISL
ands The same principle which led
us to espouse the cause Of Cuba will
hold us here until some stable form of
government is formed which will give
protection to both insurgents and
Spanish.
1.-THE insurgents and Spanish are very
bitter toward each other, and | see no
relief in a government vested in the
power of either of these parties. Fana-
ticism, supported by Spanish law, has
taxed, robbed, imprisoned and put to
death these poor natives. beyond the
point of reason or endurance, and they
would scarcely be human if they failed
to resist such pressure. On the other
hand, the insurgents have been cruel
in their treatment of Spaniards they
have been able to secure since coming
into some power. Can America leave
things in this condition, or how is she
to remedy the matter if she does not
take the islands, rule and civilize them?
can't think that we viii be here more
than three months more. A larger
regular army may be raised and held
here in our places. l would rather not
resign here now, for l should dislike to
leave the regiment and the profitable
work already started among the men"

An English traveller is thus quoted in
The London Sketch Il once had an
amusing experience with the Roumanian
custom house, which had seized upon q
very heavy book was engaged in re-
with a pair Of scales. they demanded six
francs duty / protested that this was
monstrous, particularly as the book was
not even new They replied that 1t did
not matter whether it was new or not.
The question was whetherit was bound or
not. Then said l, 'if it We're not bound |
should have to pay nothing? Yes they
the matter: in that case it would have
come in duty free. All right, | said, as

presume you viii allow it to pass" And
they had to do so, though they were very
cross about it."

These considerations have convinced
US that we should not dissolve. and that

Its President and Others Have a Few Re

Santiago de Cuba, Sept 15.-The cour-
Gil of the provisional government of the
republic of Cuba, represented by Senior
Bartolome Masso, president; Senior
MendeN Capote, vice president and
Senior Font, Senior Aleman. and Senior
Moreno de la Tore, secretaries, met at
Santa Clara on Sept. 1 and formulated
a manifesto to the Cuban people, with
an order to the military commanders
of the Cuban army, both of which have
been promulgated. The manifesto,
which is an elaborate document, touches
on the history of the movement for Gu
ban independence and the principles
upon which the Cuban people have
fought for their liberty. The significant
portions so far as the United States are
concerned are as follows: Though the
principal object of our revolution has
been obtained-that is, the destruction
OF Spanish domination-the work of this
council is not yet at an end, for the
Cuban republic-the ideal for which We
have fOught-has not yet been consti-
tuted.''
The manifesto then reviews the in
tervention OF the United States. &C

Chicago, Sept. 15.-TriandtafeIue D.

q few days ago had $3.50 in the bank.
which he reserved to invest in a good
thing" when brought to his notice. II.
o. Stone. w. a. Kennedy and George
Musgrave. according to the police three
clever confidence men, heard OF the for
list and his money. MusGrave, it is al
legged, possessed the necessary command
of language to induce Mosconesotes to
aid him and his companions in obtain
ing possession of the money.
Going to the dealer in flowers and
shrubs Musgrave casually told of the
great killing" that could be made at
the different local race tracks and pool
rooms by tapping the wires and getting
the results in advance. In view of the
fact that gambling is not tolerated in
Chicago Mosconesotes deemed it nc
wrong to beat the gambler at his own
game. Then there was the introduction
to the other parties AND the usual pres
to, change, by which the florist lost his
money!

had an interview with General Garcia,
the Cuban, in which he told him that
he (Shafter) could exercise no control
over him except such as Garcia might
concede. Later he tells how Garcia
failed to prevent the reinforcement of
Linaras.
Referring to the obstacles the COM
missary had to overcome the general
says: 1T was not until nearly two
weeks after the army landed that it
was possible to place on shore three
days supplies in excess of those re-
quired for the daily consumption"
Referring to the attack on San Juan
hill he says: The preparations were
far from what I desired them to be, but
we We're in a sickly climate, our sup
plies had to be brought forward by a
narrow wagon road, which the rains
might at any time render impossible;
drive the vessels containing our stores
to sea, thus separating us from our
base of supplies, and, lastly, it was re-
ported that General Pando,, with 5000
reinforcements for the enemy, was en-
route from Manzanillo and might be
expected in a few days" The result of
the attack is history.

forts towards securing a surrender the

On the 18th the surrender was again de-
manded. General Shafter then gives the
details of the final surrender, his entry
into the city and the raising of THE
American flag. AS to the sickness among
the men the general says: In reference
to the sick and wounded I have to say
that they received every attention that
it was possible to give them. The med
ical officers without exception worked
night and day to alleviate the suffering,
which was no greater than invariably
accompanies a campaign" All through
the report he gives the warmest praise
to the officers and men engaged IN the
campaign.

| Earding the Situation in the Pearl.
Washington, Sept 15-In official quar-
! tiers much satisfaction was expressed
over the reports from Madrid that the
| lower house of parliament had passed
! the government bill accepting the
terms of the protocol. The upper house
already has passed this measure, so
| that the last fear of legislative opposi-
ton to the transfer of Cuba, the La
drones and Porto Rico is over. The
authorities here feel that this carries
them by a danger point, as it has bsen
feared for some time that the animosities
in the Spanish Cortes would lead to
the defeat of the Sagasta ministry on
the question of evacuating the Spanish
islands, either in one branch or the
other. There is little doubt that a gem
eral line of policy was agreed upon be-
tween the president and his cabinet at
their meeting late Tuesday afternoon,
but there is good reason for believing
that the assertion that the decision was
definitely in favor of not permitting
sovereignty in any part of the Philip
pine islands is based on a misconcep-
tiCn.
What We VIII Probably Demand.
As the members of the cabinet and
members of the peace commission re-
fuse absolutely to discuss the subject
with newspaper men, whatever is said
is based more or less on inference or
roundabout information. 1t is not
-tn
the negotiations at Paris with the as
sertion that we have conquered Spain
in the Philippines, and that Spanish
sovereignty has already been forfeited
there. This will not, however, neces-
sarily signify that it is the purpose of
the administration TO retain possession
OF the entire group of islands, or to
permanently deprive Spain of all hen
possessions in the Pacific. It is not be-
lieved that the administration has gone
beyond the determination to retain the
whole of the island of Luzon. but it is
understood to be the intention of the
president to establish at the outset the
right of this government to determine
the fate of the islands and to make the
conditions under which government
shall be established there.
Necessity May Force a Policy.
The matter of relinquishing possession
of the rest of the islands is involved
with so many conditions to be consid-
cred that it is realized that it may by
force of circumstances become neces-
sary to deprive Spain permanently of
all her possessions in that quarter. 1t
is understood not to be a matter of
policy to acquire all this territory, but
it may become a necessity The COM
