Vermont Boy Has His Toes Cut on to
Go to War.
Since the news Of Dewey's victory
reached the green hills Of his native
state. the fires Of patriotism have
burned fiercely in the breasts OF the
bows Of Vermont. The enthusiasm OF
sacrifice for Uncle Sam reached its
height the other day in st. klbans.
One of the boys from that town went
before the army surgeon to be ex-
amined. with view to enlisting. He
was a strong fellow, and the surgeon
found him all right till he got down to
his feet. There he discovered a defect
which made him hesitate. The little
toes on both feet were crooked under
so that in walking the boys weight fell
directly on them. I'm afraid | can't
pass you with those toes" said the sur
geon. "You would find them very
troublesome on a long march. Don't
they ever hurt you in walking?" The
fellow admitted that they were some
times painful when he walked many
miles. The surgeon shook his head.
VERY sorry" he said, "but I'm afraid
you can't CO." The boy from Dewey's
state threw back his head and his up
per lip stiffened. Doctor" he said,
"supposing l didn't have the toes.
Would you pass me them" The doctor
said he thought he would Thereupon
the boy walked over to the hospital and
told the house surgeon that he wanted
his little toes cut off so that he could

had identified as those of Grace, and
for which the funeral arrangements,
including the digging of the grave,
had already been completed.

Spain Has No Right to Protest.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Some ques-
tion has arisen as to the right of the
United States to send troops to Ma
Mia under the terms of the protocol
and the armistice which followed.
Upon the matter being brought to the
attention of the officials of the War
department, it was stated that, under
the protocol, Manila city, harbor and
bay were placed under the control OF
the United States, and that we have
the same right to reinforce Manila
that we would have to send troops to
any other army post. Spain, it was
said, would have no right to protest
against the action of the United
States, as the movement of troops to
Manila was not like sending them to
an island or station in dispute.

SPANISH LEAVE PORTO RICO
Evacuation of the Island Has Be-
gun in Earnest.
SEVERAL POINTS ABANDONED.
Four Hundred Soldiers to Be Sent Away
on Transports commissioners Omciaiiy
Notified That Ships Have Been Sent
From Spain to Garry Force Away.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 21.-
The evacuation of the outlying posi-
tions occupied by the Spaniards began
yesterday. Aguidilla. San Sebastian
and Lares were abandoned by them
and the troops of General Garretson's
brigade, and the Eleventh infantry
moved in and hoisted the American
flag. The Spanish troops from the
abandoned positions are being concen-
trated at Arecibo, from whence they
will reach San Juan by railroad as
soon as transportation is available.
They could not enter the city before,
owing to it's crowded condition.
To-day the Spaniards will evacuate
the island of Vieques, where COM
pany of American troops, dispatched
from General Grants brigade, has
been landed. The Spanish evacuation
commissioners, officially informed the
Americans that they had been notified
of the sailing from Spain of two trans
ports intended to embark troops here,
and also that 400 Spanish soldiers will
sail from here to-day on transport
which is expected from CuOa. 1he oe-
parting troops consist cf 200 sick men
and 200 members of the engineers
regiment.
The meeting of the commissioners
was entirely without friction, and it
was owing to the good feeling prevail
ing between our soldiers and those of
Spain that it was decided to allow the
company of Americans to land at the
island of Vieques before the Spaniard's
left.
The condition Of the troops on the
island is not improving. Almost
1000 men are reported sick. General
Brooke is doing all in his power to i'm
prove the conditions of the soldiers
and afford them every comfort posi-
