SPANIARDS MUST HURRY
LITTLE.

Washington, October 7.-President Nc.
Kinley has cabled the United States mill
tary commission at Porto Rico that the
island must be evacuated by the Spanish
forces on or before October Is, and that
the Spanish commissioners be SO in
formed. In case of the failure of the
Spaniards to complete the evacuation by
that date the United States commissioners
are directed to take possession of and ex-
ercise all of the functions of government,
and in case it is found to be impossible to
secure transportation for the Spanish
forces by October 49, they may be per-
mitted to go into temporary quarters I'M
til transportation can be arranged to take
them to Spain. This fact vas developed
at today's cabinet meeting, and it was al
SO stated that from this time forward,
more vigorous policy would be pursued
with respect to the evacuation of Cuba.
The President has notified the United
States evacuation commission at Havana
that the Spaniards would be expected to
have evacuated the island by December 1,
with strong intimation that in case of
failure the United States would brook
no further delay but Immediately take
possession of the government

CURRENT COMMENT.
CONTRACT LABOR AND HAWAII.
(Bosotn Trarscript.)

CONTRACT LABOR AND HAWAII.
(Bosotn Transcript.)
The Nav York Tribune foresees diff
contract labor in Hawaii. 1t is reported
that the commission will submit bill
providing for the continuance of contract
labor in those islands for ton years.
This is defended on the plea that the
sugar and rice industries cannot profit
ably be carried on without it. The Tri-
bune says: ''If the system is ever to be
terminated can there be a beuter time for
doing 1t than the PRESENT." The question
emit intention of those shaping affairs for
the islands is doubtless that it shall never
be terminated. President Dole and Others
most active in bringing about annexation
have said that there ID ust be laws regula-
ting labor there different from those pre-
vailing in the United States. 1t Is quite
probable that he and they received assur-
ance that this desired consideration
should he accorded them. Ten years OF
contract labor doesnot seem SO formidable
now as an indefinite period, but at the
end of ten years the same pleas of urgency
will be made that are now made. The
Tribune says: 'The problem Is from
any point of view a difficult one, and will
open the question whether laws prohibit
ing the employment Of contract labor can
be of any benefit to wage earners any
where within the United States" 10
save Hawaii then, and prevent inconsist-
encies, we must reopen the whole ques-
ton of labor contracts and possibly re-
verse cur national policy on the subject.
How do the labor elements of the c0un-
try like the prospeotp Is Hawaii worth
all the trouble in which it threatens to
involve us?

Many brave heroes who returned from

f1icts in war, until they commenced to use
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Many have found these vegetable pills
to be speedy health restorers.

requisite vitality to all parts of the body,

Druggists everywhere sell these pills.

MAGAZINE NOTICES.

''Many bonds of friend ship and interest
bind the metropolis of.ths North to New
England. By history, by railroads, by
ocean traffic, by manufactures, by geog-
raphical vicinage, by possibilities of trade
even by many ties of blood and kindred,
the two 'sare knit together" says W. D.
Lighthall, in an admirable article on
Montreal, in the October number of the
New England Magazine. His description
Of this fine old city will hold a sI ecial

about closer relations with our Canadian
neighbors. Montreal was first established
as a fur trading station and its history is
fascinating one. Mr. Lighthall does
full justice to its proud story from the
beginning, and his article is finely illus
trated with portraits of important men,
and with many views in and around the
city.
The Century presents besides its
usual quota of picturesque and instruo-
tie articles a very valuable paper entitled
"Knotty Problems in the Philippines

spent some years in the archipelago and
in consequence knows go cd deal about
them. The article. is refreshing contrast
to much that is written about the subject
which consists of platitudes and general
information drawn from some sencyclope-
dia. The Pony Express. and Life
and Society in Old Cuba, are excellent
articles also. Professor Sloane discusses
the career and personality of Bismark
with fairness but without arousing much
interest. The fiction is hardly up to the
Century standard but the articles on
art are as usual written from full knowl-

insists that the food supply was abundant
and wholesome. The testimony of Gen.
Lee in regard to the camp at Jacksonville
is quite as favorRbls as that of Gen.
Boynton's in regard to Chiokamauga.
He relates one instance. and but one. in
which there was any reason for complaint
in regard to the quality Of the food and here
the trouble was due apparently to unavoid-
able causes. He expressly stated that he had
no fault to find with the War Depart
ment, and he did not believe any of his
command had. We have now had the tes-
timony Of three men who were as thor
oughly acquainted as anyone could
be with the conditions at Camp
Thomas and Jacksonville and 1t COM
pletely negatives the popular impression
which has been created as to those camps,
more especially as to Camp Thomas, by
stories of some soldiers and many news
paper correspondents. that bad sites were
selected in the first place. that the water
supply was inadequate and impure.
that the food was scanty and frequently
unfit to eat, and that the hospital service
was grossly inadequate. The most. that
is admitted by any Of, these witnesses is
that after a certain time the sanitary
conditions became bad, owing to the neg
leot OF the men and their officers, and
that for while, after sudden outbreak
of measles, some of the hospitals were
overcrowdsd. The testimony before the
commission SO far has failed com
pletely to show any foundation for
the sensational reports that have
been spread over the country about
the camps. Perhaps that may be because
it comes from soldiers who have seen war
before, whereas the stories that have
1oated through the press have come from
men unfamiliar with camp life, who
compared the conditions they found with
those of q well kept boarding house.

THE GENERALS TESTIMONY.

Gen. Boynton lays all the trouble at
Chickamauga to lack of sanitary precau-
tions by the regimental officers. He ad-
mits that after the middle of July typhoid
fever began to grow prevalent, and
to spread rapidly throughout the camp
His idea is that the germs of the disorder
were carried by flies from the sinks to the
mess tables of the men. The covering of
the sinks with earth, the general thinks,
would have averted most of the trouble
If that be SO the officers who neglected to
enforce SO simple precaution are exceed
ingly oulpatle, and their names ought to
be MAIDS known. Gen. Boynton pro-
nounces the 'srotten meat stories told by
some of the soldiers pure fabrication, and

since then, they are antagonistio to any
attempt to incorporate directly or indi-

known that Senator Lodge is in favor of
keeping the flag flying wherever it has
been raised, which means of course that
he is an advocate of the permanent occu-
patton of the island of Luzon at least. The
resolution reads as if it might have been
drawn with a view of oonceding some-
thing to Senator Lodge, for though it is

dou btless be generally looked upon
