The steamer Juan Forgas arrived here
from Barcelona with provisions for the
Spanish troops, but, as there is a supply
for two months still here, the steamer pro-
ceeded for Havana, where she will dis
charge. After the details of the evacua-
tion have been arranged the movable
property and military equipment which
the Spaniards may properly remove, if
they desire TO do SO, will be inyentoried
separately. The commission may arrange
TO purchase such equipment as il desires
TO retain. This will include field guns and
a vast quantity of Cardiff coal, which was
shipped here for Admiral Cervera's fleet
Two hundred and fifty members of the
sixth Massachusetts regiment are sick
and the men are anxious to return TO their
homes.
The details of the evacuation of the
Island We're practically completed at
a meeting Of the commission held
to-day and all now depends upon
whether the Madrid government shall place
transports at the disposal of Captain Cen
eral Macias for the embarkation of the
troops. Failure to send transports will
embarrass the Spanish commissioners but
the American commissioners viii! probably
not set an absolute time limit for the
Washington.
The Spaniards do not desire to concen-
trate all their troops here. for fear OF en-
dangering their health, until they are in
formed when the transports will arrive.
In addition TO Lares. Aguidalla and San
Sebastian, the Spanish will evacuate the
island of Nieques Monday.

LlNSEED OIL COLLAPSE.
st.Louis Capitalists Have Lost S3,5OO,-
900 Since the Stock Struck
the TObOcgau

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 16-The feature of the
linseed oil situation that excites most in
terest and comment in st. Louis is the
amount of money lost by stockholders here
OF the National Linseed Oil Company.
1t is estimated that between 100000 and
S4,GO1000 We're wiped out in St. Louis by the
| toboggan slide which the stock has been
taking since last spring. when 1t was up
to 2l7s. 1t is now worth practically MOTH
ing. since it was offered on change yester-
day at IA with no bidders.
1t is estimated that nearly half the stock.
or about 5000 shares is owned in st. Louis.
For the most of this, an average of $40
was paid. that represents an investment
of S., 10000. This stock is now worth at
best, $780, 600. which makes the loss about
sS.JOO.0OO. Many stockholders here do not
fayor a @Ts9rganization REQ OF the company;
for a receiver for the National Linseed Oil
Company was made in the United States
circuit court late to-day. The bill was
filed by Meyer Bernhard, who states that
he is owner of twenty-five shares of the
stock of the corporation. Bernhard sets up
the claim that the National Linseed Oil
Company has become thoroughly discredit-
ed, chiefly through the operations of its
officers and directors, and so embarrassed
financially that it is no longer able to prose-
cute its business effectively and with profit,
or to carry out the objects for which it
was Incorporated. The court is asked TO
appoint receiver and to order that the af-
fairs of the corporation be liquidated and
settled.
The bill of complaint reviews the history
of the company from the time of its or
Ranization in 1887, under the name of the
Enterprise Storage and Transit Company
Up to the present time. The bill asserts
that by reason of gross and fraudulent mis-
management on the part of its officers and
directors and the misrepresentation by them
of its moneys, revenue and income, the
company has been paraiyzed in its opera
tions and been unable to meet its financial
engagements. 1t is also declared that the
officers and directors have been utterly un-
mindful OF their duties and obligations as
such, and in violation of the trust Imposed
in them and contrary to law have in the
name and in behalf of the company en-
gagged in speculative ventures, in which
large sums were lost.

UNHARMED BY A SERPENT.
How the Missionary Came to Be Re-
Sarded With Supersti-
tiOus Awe.
From the Youths COMPANION.

From the YOUTH Companion.
The incident of st. Paul and the viper and
the stories of Zinzendorf and Brainerd and
their serpent visitors are read by every
one with the thrill of interest always felt
where a human life is at stake. We can
imagine the effect upon those who were
eye-witnesses of the facts, and saw these
men escape without a wound.
Near the middle of the last century David
Brainerd left his mission among the In
dianS at Stockbridge. Mass, and travelled
southwark to the forks of the Delaware. -
He had heard of a savage tribe in the heart
of the New Jersey forests, and yearned to
bring them under Christian influence.
With his pocket Bible. his tent cloth and
a few simple utensils for preparing his food
strapped in bundle on his back, he pushed
on through the wilderness till he found
himself in the neighborhood of the Indian
little shelter tent on sticks, he camped
under the trees to rest and to fortify him
self for the new undertaking that lay be-
fore him. What peril was near him from
savage hands he could not know, and like
his Master in "a solitary place apart" he
talked with heaven until he felt refreshed
and strong.
When he finally reached the wigwams, he
was an astonished man. His faith and
hope had made him bold. but he little ex-
pected when he faced the enemies of his
out to meet him as If he had been a long
looked-for friend. Led by their chief, the
Indians welcomed MIN as tnelr guest, ana
seemed almost to reverence him as a
prophet. He stayed among them and
preached, winning the hearts and faith of
the untutored natives, until he gathered a
church of between seventy and eighty
Christian Indians.
Brainerd never knew. until they told him,
the secret of his welcome. The savages
had discovered the white stranger in the
woods. and party Of them had waited to
steal upon him and kill him as soon as he
entered his tent, Peering between the folds
of the canvas they saw him on his knees,
praying.
Ignorant wonder held them back, and
their wonder turned to awe when they saw
a rattlesnake crawl over the strangers s
feet and pause beside him, with its head
raised as If to strike: but 1t only gazed at
him a moment flicked it's red tongue and
glided out of the tent on the opposite side.
The Indians hurried back and reported that
the white man was under the protection of
the Great Spirit.
However much the superstition of these
"children of nature" influenced their
thought, they told a Christian truth in
pagan version. 1t is certain that
Man is immortal till his work is done.
and God had work for Brainerd to do.

ence with the president tomorrow. The
president thinks the commission should
consist of nine members. and he hopes to
be able to secure that number of competent
men who are willing to give the time and
attention to the matter which its i'm
portance demands. A number OF new
names have been suggested to the presi-
dent as desirable persons for membership
on the commission. and new that his de-
liberations with the peace commission have
been concluded. Mr.. Mckinley expects to
take the matter up again.
General Schofield called at the White
House to-day and had nearly an hours
conference with the president regarding
the matter of his acceptance of a place on
the commission to investigate the conduct
of the war. On leaving the general said
that the matter was still in allegiance, but
probably decision would be reached at
another conference to be held tomorrow.

PRODUCTS AND COLONIES.
Can Consume-COloniesL Larger
Than Mother Country.

From the New York Sun.
There has recently appeared under au-
thority of the state department In Wash
inSton table showing the relation which
the colonies of certain European countries
bear TO the home country, and from II ii
is seen that four of the governments of
Europe-Great Britain, France Holland
and Portugal-have colonies larger in re-
spect to population than the home coun-
try, while two other European govern
ments-Germany and Denmark-have COL
onfes larger in territorial area than the
nome country. 1t is more than coinci-
dence that the governments which have
the colonies are, for the most part. those
which are conspicuous in manufacturing
industries, while ii is observable that in
tries of Europe. notably Russia Austria
Spain and Sweden, either have no distant
colonies remote from the home country or
are on the point of losing those colonies
which they have, and the same is true OF
Italy and Turkey.
The figures show that all manufacturing
countries. under the impetus of steam pow
er electricity and modern invention, are
llable to produce considerably more than
home market being insufficient, recourse
mas been had to foreign market artificial
~ created by the colonial expansion of the
kind now generally favored by those who
are seeking to get for American manufac-
turing products n larger field than can be
otherwise secured. The three chief manu-
France and Germany-have been increasing
very rapidly their colonial possessions of
late years. and this is more particularly
true, perhaps, of Germany, which has in
Africa alone colonies covering over 100000
square miles.
The '.Statesman's Year Book for 1891
shows the commerce of Great Britain in
the export trade during the year previous
TO have amounted to soc 000. 900 of cotton
goods, A0J.Go,csO of w0olen goods $1,000, co
OF wearing apparel and 100000 of
machinery and cutlery. Frances trade
with French colonies, exclusive of Algeria
and TuniS, amounted last year to $50 oOO. go
of imports and S25. Coz coo of exports, and
the exports of German manufacture to
foreign colonies now amount TO a consid-
cradle figure. Last year these imports into
CAMERON amounted to 81. 100000 in value.
INTO German-Africa to 81, 900 600 and into
Togoland to about much.
The policy of all producing countries
largely engaged in manufacture is to dis
criminate against like manufacturers in
other countries, and the possession of
large colonies. therefore is decided
benefit to the home country, a benefit
which agricultural countries do not enjoy.
Austria-Hungary furnishes a fair illustra-
ton of this. The Austrian products, and
particularly glass, leather, wooden goods
porcelain and stoneware, are extensive
and give employment to nearly 5000 go
persons. but the commerce of Austria is in
considerable. and much more than half of
it is with Germany under conditions which
are necessarily more favorable to the Ger
man consumers than to the Austrian pro-
ducerS.
