ARIZONA TERRITORY.
Annual Report of Governor N. O.
Murphy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The an
nual report of n. o. Murphy, Gov
ernor of Arizona, to the Secretary of
the Interior says the population of the
Territory is nearly, if not quite 100000
people Social and moral conditions
compare favorably with any portion of
the Union. The citizens are true, hon
est Americans, and the Governor says
they enjoy the proud distinction Of be-
ing the first to respond to their coun-
try's call for volunteers. Arizona's flag
was first hoisted over the ramparts of
the enemy at FL Caney.
There have been no outbreaks nor
depredations by Indians within the
year, and, the Governor says, it is not
anticipated that any are likely to oc-
cur. Those who have been most
troublesome heretofore-the various
branches of the Apache family now
have been peaceful for longer con-
tinuous term than ever before in their
history
The recommendations submitted by
Governor Murphy include the follow
ing:
That Arizona be admitted as State.
That all the public lands within the
Territory be ceded to the Territory or
State
That the military post Of Whipple
Barracks be established.
That a reasonable sum be appropri-
ated for artesian well-boring in the
Territory.
That the salaries of the Federal
Judges within the Territory be in
creased.

STEWART L. wOODFORD.
Files His Resignation as Minister
to Spain.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-Following
the custom in the case of a Minister
who has been obliged to leave his post
by the breaking out of hostilities, Stew
art l.. Woodford has filed his resigna-
tIon as Minister to Spain. 1t is believed
IT VIII be six months before the United
States has occasion to send a Minister
to Madrid again, and If Mr.. Woodford's s
resignation remains so long unacted up
on his status will be merely nominal
for under the law his salary ceased
after the expiration of sixty days from
the date he left his post, with the addi-
ton of a sufficient period of time to en-
able him to return to the United States
1t might have been possible for Gen.
era Woodford to have returned to Ma
drid in the capacity of United States
Minister, but this would only have been
the case had the Spanish Government
seen fit to make a request to that eff
feet. Otherwise it is customary to
send a new Minister to avoid the revival
of bitter feelings and TO restore har-
mOnious relations between the two gov
ernments lately at war. Should the
United States Government, in disregard
of this conventional usage, persist in
it would find itself in the position of
being obliged to receive Senior Barnabe,
late Spanish Minister to Washington,
whose course in establishing a system
of espionage in Canada during the war
rendered him in some degree unpopular
in the United States

THE CUBAN ARMY.
To be Disbanded Until New Gov

Since the establishment of authority
IN Cuba Of the United States the Gov
ernment is in a rather equivocal posi-
ton. The Cuban army has been
matter of great concern to the Cuban
Government.
In an interview two weeks ago with
General Lawton it was thought desir-
able that some definite action regard
ing the disposition of the Cuban army
should be taken by the Cuban Govern
ment. Necessity for this decided ac-
ton is increasing by reason of the re-
peated demands made by planters and
others having large agricultural inter-
ests for men to work their fields.
These men could only come from the
Cuban army, and it was the purpose of
my visit to Santa Cruz to request if
the army could not be al once dfsband-
ed, that men at least be allowed tenn

The new government will probably
be merely an extension of the present
organization. A meeting will be held
in Santa Cruz on October 10th, a his
toric day in Cuban history-the date
or the first outbreak under Cespedes at
Yarn.
The result of my visit is that T am
empowered to issue orders to brigade

definite furloughs to Cuban soldiers,
subject to the call of the new govern
ment for final decision regarding the
position of the army. 1t is possible
then that some arrangements may be
arrived at for the payment of the SOL

EVACUATION OF CUBA.
The United States Will Stand No
Further Delay.

WASHINGTON, Sept pa very
peremptory message of instruction has
been sent to the Cuban Military Com
mission and by them made the basis of
a note to the Spanish Commissioners.
The authorities in Washington will not
make public the terms of the note. but
its general tenor is that the United
States will not be satisfied with anv
further delay in the evacuation of Cuba.
1t is to the effect that the terms of the
protocol called for immediate evacua-
ton Of Cuba, and that Spanish sover-
eighty must be relinquished. The Amer
lean Commissioners have been informed
that the evacuation of Cuba cannot be
delayed.

from the humane paths which they
have chosen. The Spaniards consider
themselves absolved from all obliga-
tlons to us, because foreign Powers re-
fused to acknowledge our belligerency.
The Spaniards did not consider that

ten No, the Filipinos will never retail

THE ATTEMPT TO POISON AGUIN-
ALDO.
MANILA, Sept 23.-A careful inves-
tigation Of the attempt to poison
Aguinaldo shows that the cook is not
dead, as reported, and that no priests
are implicated, as alleged by the in
Surgents.
Paterno, the President of the Philip
pine National Assembly, exaggerated
the facts in the case. Several Spanish
Casaderos were allowed to remain at
hberty at Malosos, and two of them
were employed in Aguinaldo's house
hold. one put package of potash
powder in the soup but the cook de-
tected it Immediately, and nobody was
injured. A packet was also found in
the CaSadero'S pocket. There is no
reason to believe that he had any ac-
cCmplice.
Inc Filipino Government proposed to
sehd long dispatch to President Nc
klnley protesting against certain al
legged Spanish misstatements as being
calculated to undermine the friendship
between the Filipincs and the Amer
leans" but instead of doing so, they
simply sent a dispatch rendering the
American Government and people
through President Mckinley an ex-
preston of high esteem and unity of
sentiment toward the champions and
protectors of oppressed peoples and ex-
ponents of liberty and independence"
on Thursday the Filipinos intended
to have a grand festival at MaIosos in

The Filipino National Assembly has
decided to request the Americans. first,
to recognize the independence of the

their Independence; third, to appoint

The theme which the speaker announc-
cd was THE Lesson Of our Losses
suggested by the third chapter, second
verse OF Revelations. He gave a rapid,
graphic. and pathetic review Of the de-
pletine processes through which the

churches which had gone out from the
membership, and of more than half OF
the material contributed for the forma-
lion OF anOther church; spoke of the
hundreds who had gone out of the church
TO take important and leading parlss IN
churches in various portions Of the
country: referred TO the long roll OF
those who had been dismissed from earth
to enter the general assembly OF the
saints on high He said, Also that from
year to year there had been occasional
lapses from the true path, and perhaps
some had not given the fun measure OF
their power TO their Master service Dr.

fun of new and live thoughts. Missions
were a necessary element in the Church,
I'm the idea of the speaker and life was
the keynote of Christianity. Christs mis-
sion Was one of life. The possession of
this life lays us under obligations and its
laws lie at the base of missions
