ENDS ITS WORK.
Puerto Rfcan Commission Completes
the Arrangements for Span
ish EvacuatiOn, 80. -

San Juan, Sept. 19.--The work of
the military commission is practically
over, all arrangements for the evacu-
alton by the Spanish. troops and the
receipt of government property having
been determined upon. Admiral Schley
says that if there were transports here
for the embarkation of the troops the
commission could leave for home within
week. He thinks a military govern
ment will be established here within a
month. The commission has simply de-
manded the immediate evacuation Of
the island and possession of all tangible
government property. These demands
have been frankly conceded by the
Spanish commission. so that while the
meetings of the commissions will con-
tinue for the purpose Of winding up
the details there is nothing of impor-
tance left to be done. The attitude of
the American commission has offended
some Puerto Ricans, who think the
Americans have not demanded enough.
They have insisted they should claim
the sum Of 100000 alleged to be in the
bank here belonging to the govern
ment. The Puerto Ricans maintain
that the money was raised by the island,
hence it should not be taken to Spain.

MINISTERS RESIGN.

!. = Cabinet to Quit. 9a

Paris, Sept. s19.-As d result of the
Icabinet' decision to appoint special
commission to review&the documents
in the Dreyfus case, Minister for War
Zurlinden and Minister for Public
7 Works Tillaye resigned. Gen.. Cha
! poine was appointed to succeed the
former and Senator Godin was given
the place vacated by the latter: ,,.,. ~,
The council met at the Elysee pal
ace at $3.50 a. M, President Faure
presiding. According to semi-ofi cial
note, the ministeySof justice said that
after having examined the papers he
felt unable to decide upon the ques-
ton of the proposed revision of the
Dreyfus case until he had taken the
opinion of a a special commission of
the ministryaof justice. The cabinet
thereupon authorized the minister to
summon a commit zee for the purpose.
Minister for War Zurlinden and Min
lister Tillaye left the council before the
session ended, and Immediately ten
dered their designations. Gen. Zurl-
linden sent his written resigna ton to
Premier Brisson as follows:
II have the honor to beg you to receive
my resignation as minister of war.4.,An ex-
haustive study of the papers In the Drey-
Jus case has convinced me too fully of his
guilt for me to accept; as the head'of the
army, any other solution than that of the
malntainance of the Judgment in it's en-
tirety.' a -'''
The difficulties attendant upon Sc
curing a revision of the Dreyfus pro-
ceedings may be gagged from the story
now published that Gen. Zurlinden
practically5offered himself by advocat-
ing revision of the case, and that his
change of opinion is due to the strong
feeling which he afterwards found
among his subordinates at the war
office. o..... ......: ...-...
The committee summoned by M.
Sarrien to decide upon the question of
the proposed revision will begin to
consider the matter On Wednesday
next.
AS he was leaving the Elysee pal
ace, after the cabinet NEE ting, a large
crowd of people cheered the premier
M. Brisson, with cries of :'Viva la Re-
vision," apparently showing that pop
ular feeling was changing in favor OF
reopening of the Dreyfus case.
It is reported that. "a vessel has al
ready started for the Isle du Diable in
readiness to bring Dreyfus to Paris,
and NJ. Brisson and Gen Chanoine are
determined that nobody, h however high
his position, will be sheltered. Stirring
events are regarded as impending.

GOOD SOLDIER GONE.
Capt. Allyn Capron, of the First Ar
tillery, U. S. A., Dies of Typhoid
~. ,g.-.- Fever in Virginia., ..,

Washington, Sept. :1o.-Capt.. Allyn
,Capron, First artillery, died at his
home near Fort Meyer, Va, Sunday.
Capt. Capron was one of the best-known
officers in the regular army. He had
devoted himself particularly to the ar
tillery branch of the service, having
been an honor graduate of the artillery
school in 1878, and was regarded as an
authority on artillery tactics. When
Gen. Skaters corps went to Santiago
Capt. Capron accompanied it, and his
battery did notably fine work in the
battle of Santiago. During the first
days fight before the city Capt. Cap
ron's son, Capt. Allyn K. Capron, of the
rough riders, was killed.. The death of
his son preyed upon the fathers mind,
but he never swerved for an instant
from his duty during the terrible days
that followed. The seeds of disease
were sown in his system during the
Cuban campaign, and he returned to his
home at Fort Meyer, near this city, only
to be stricken down with typhoid fever.
His death occurred about IL o'clock
Sunday.
Capt. .Capron was born in Florida,
and entered the military academy as a
cadet in 1868. After graduation, he was
made second lieutenant of the First
artillery on the 18th of June, 1862, and
was an officer of that regiment until his
death. He was commissioned as cap
tain on the 4th of December, 1888.
It is probable that Capt. Capron will
be buried in Arlington national Gem
etery. but no definite arrangements for
his funeral have yet been made.

The Sick Soldiers.

The work of unloading the 173 sick
soldiers of the 18th regiments, brought
from Kentucky and Tennessee, was
completed Sunday morning, the boys
having spent comfortable night in
their sleep ping car berths. OF the en-
tire number, 81 men were obliged to
be taken to the hospitals in the Twin
Cities. Of these, 26 were taken to St.
Paul hospitals, and % to the hospitals
of Minneapolis. Several men were al
lowed to go at once with friends liv-
ing in the Twin Cities, while about 80
of them were taken to Windsor hotel
to await trains going to their homes.
The work of unloading was done sys-
tematically, the entire train force as
sisting. Gov. Clough personally SUPER
intended the work. The hospitals had
sent full supply of ambulances, and
only a single trip had to be made. Dur
ing the day about Is men were placed
on board trains taking them to their
respective homes throughout the state.
The entire trip was accomplished
without the loss of a man, and with
out any casualties. IT
