London, September 15.-The Manila
correspondent of the Times telegraph
ing Wednesday says: Fully 5000
insurgent troops evacuated the sub
urbs today. The American gave a pa
rade and granted full military honors.
Perfect harmony prevailed and the
natives were evidently delighted at the
opportunity for a public display of the
efficiency OF their troops in drill. The
firmness and tact OF General Otis have
produced an excellent result. The
governor Of Iloilo is facilitating COM
merce. according to his agreement.

Porto Rican Negotiations Progressing

San Juan, Island Of Porto Rico, Sep
tember 1.-THE United States Porto
Rican evacuation commission met this
morning. The reply Of the Spanish
commissioners, setting forth their po-
sition in accordance with the instruc-
tons from Madrid. was received last
night. 1t is satisfactory to u com-
missioners, who hope the main details
of the evacuation will be arranged
within a few days. The protocol says
Immediate" evacuation. which is con-
strued to mean a reasonable time. 1t is
understood that a Spanish steamer is
expected here in a few days from Ca
diz to embark the first detachment of
troops. the Principado de Asturias
regiment, numbering 500 men, which
arrived here from Cuba prior to the
outbreak of the war, and a battalion
of engineers. The Spanish soldiers
dread yellow fever and this fear may
hasten the evacuation of the island
Over 1000 Spanish troops persisted
Turing the epidemic Of 1896.

THE CORTEZ DISSOLVED
The Attacks of the Proposition too
Strong for Sagasta-The Peace Bill

StrOnS 1OF S~agasta-The Peace Bill
signed.
Madrid, September 1.-THE premier.
Senior Sagasta, has obtained the queen
regents signature to a decree prOrogu-
ing the cortes, and with it ended a
stormy session of the senate.
General Primo de Rivera had de-
manded an inquiry into his admins
tration of the Philippine islands, and
in so doing he said the attacks of
Count Almenas were only eft for the
mouth Of a miserable slanderer."
Count Almenas was enGeavoring to re-
ply when Senior Sagasta read the de-
cree proroguing the cortes.
Count Almenas and General Rivera,
separately, approached the president in
a hostile manner and a duel is ex-
pected.
Premier Sagasta afterward read the
decree in the chamber of deputies.
1t is expected hat the Spanish peace
commissioners will be appointed with
out delay.
A painful impression has been caus-
ed her by a statement, made by The
Pals, saying the United States intends
to demand 500, 900, 900 indemnity in
behalf of American citizens who have
suffered through the instruction, it
is claimed; but, fears prevail that the
United States will become pitileSs and
press it's advantage to the utmost.
The Queen signed the protocol bill
this evening. The government had in
tended the cortes to sit until an in
demnity bill for the suspension Of the
constitutional guarantees had been
passed, but the threatened agitation on
the part of General Weyler and others
convinced Senior Sagasta of the advi-
stability of closing down debates which
would have hindered the free progress
of the peace negotiations.

HINTS FOR DAIRY MEN.

Do not depend on beauty OF form in
the selection of the good dairy COW
alone. One among the best butter cows
we ever possessed was of undenable
scrub origin and exceedingly angular.
While a great many people find fault
with the Devon on account of their long
horns. yet they have proven themselves
good beef cattle; besides. they have
excellent milking qualities.
In the Elgin district there are prob
ably produced 100000 pounds OF but
ter per day, which would require $780,
0G0 pounds of milk and a loss Of ten
cents per hundred would mean loss OF
$1,000 per day. or nearly $l,000,O0O a
year.
One really good COW will furnish az
much milk as two ordinary ones, while
the one will cost but half as much Ms
the two for keeping. In the latter case
the profit all goes in keeping the extra
row. If we would prosper we must
keep ou wits awake.
Skip one feeding period after the ca
Is removed so ii will have good anne
lite, then give from three to four pints
Of whole milk fresh from the COW; il
will then drink without the finger.
Feed only twice a day and the first week
iced its mothers milk fresh. Western
