Evacuation of Porto Rico Complete.
AS a NAVAL STATION.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Will BE One o
Our Most Important Naval Stations
In the Future.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Secretary
Long has taken the initial steps to
make San Juan, Porto Rico, the first
naval station of the United States in
West Indian waters. Congress will be
asked to appropriate money enough
to make it one of the best equipped
naval stations the United States has.
Speaking of this Secretary Long says:
"a station at San Juan will be of
the utmost Importance to the govern
ment, and to the navy. San Juan Is
ar excellent place for a good many of
our ships in the winter time. 1t is
an invaluable possession from every
point of view"
\ naval officer said: Congress will
be asked to appropriate a large sun
of money for the improvement of San
Juan harbor and the coast defenses.
1t is probable that the historic forts
will be retained as far as possible.
It is not unlikely hat a navy yard
will be established"

PLYING THE POOR.
a Tramp Who Would Not Take the
Crust from n Needy WOm-
ans Mouth.

Sometimes the tramp gets the better of the
thrifty housewife. The mistress of a pretty
little cottage at Sausalito-she only inherited
about SCI, 900, and so is obliged to be frugal
is the object Of a little criticism from her
friends because of her reputed parsimony.
Last Saturday, as she was sitting on her pi-
ezza, overlooking the water, and waiting Tor
Ted to come home, a passing knight of the
road humbly solicited a bite. The young
woman could not withstand the petition, SO
she went herself to the bread box, which was
filled with freshly-baked ~loaves, and brought
out to the waiting vagrant two slices of
boardlike consistency which had been baked
many days earlier. AS she presented her
bounty she felt just a tritle ashamed of it.
eve are very poor ourselves" she said, in
nuttered apology.
The outcast received the crust with a
courteous Thank you" and turned away.
A moment later he returned and handed
the young heiress the crusts and also a
nickel.
81 am very sorry for you," he said, in gen.
tie tones of genuine sympathy.-San Fran

THE APPLE CROP FAILURE.
The Crop OF Apples In the United Slater
the Smallest Since Statistics
Have Been Compiled.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The Orange Judd
Farmer says:
The apple crop of the United States
is smaller than it has been since re-
liable statistics have been collected.
The total supply from the 1898 crop
of the United States is -, 1000 bar
rels, compared with something over
40,000,0 900 last year, and 100000 in
the record-breaking crop of 1896. The
failure is widespread, reaching from
the Pacific coast to Maine, and in none
of the states does the output of fruit
approach an average. In the great
apple states of the west, the crop is
almost an absolute failure, although
the situation in Michigan is better
than elsewhere. having about two
thirds of the bumper crop of 90. New
York has only one-fifth of full crop.
The failure is attributed to the fact
that during the blooming season
there was excessive rainfall, which
washed out the pollen and prevented
proper fertilization by insects. while
a cold wave added to the injury, and
subsequent moist, humid weather was
very favorable to the development of
fungous disease. The Ontario crop is
decidedly short. The crop of Europe
is reported below the normal.
The short crop will be seriously felt
or the other side ofthe Atlantic. where
a large portion of the American croI
Is annually consumed.

Madrid, Oct. 25.-The impartial
says: NO victor ever treated the van

ceived a grave dispatch from Porto
Rico announcing that the American
general there is acting toward Spain as
the European nations have treated

to embark the remainder of the Span
ish troops at Porto Rico. in spite of
the protests of her captain, who had
orders to go to Havana to embark sick
soldiers. Our government will prob
ably protest against such action"
