ticketed.
one day Dan found doctor in the
sleeper who had ticket for the third
station ahead. Dan told the porter, and
had no occasion to return to the sleeper
until the station was sighted. To make
sure that the doctor would not miss his

OF life or death. Dan went back TO the
coach. His passenger was not there. lie

that he had put the man off at the last
station. TIE porter had so understood
the conductor.
Dan sat down and filed both sides

handed the slate TO the porter the latter
said ne couldn't read slate writing.
That made Dan madden. and he broke
the slate over the donkey's head.

laid Dan Off for sixty days. He didn't

The usual treatment has been some

HAVANA, oct 22.-Yesterday after
noon the Evacuation Commission was In

the entire purchase had Deeh remover

The commission addressed It note to NJ.
Hammil warning him that the American
government would claim full right in the

FOR every piece removed. Yesterday
evening the Commission made a further
protest against the dismounting ana ship
ment from the island OF the heavy Krupp
guns Of the Reiaa battery. The An eri-
can Commission here is placed in an UNI
fortunate position.
The Spanish government Il IS alleged
daily commits some act in violation cf

Of which IS doubtful. such as the removal
Of guns or the sale Of government prop
crty. against which all the American
Commission Is able to do IS protest which
Il does regularly only 10 see It's protests

AS one of the members Of the commits
sion said I'VE cannot go out into the
street and stop the guns being carted on
the road ourselves; We should have troops
or marines here TO enforce our protests.
All we can do is TO protest, TO which ac-
ton no attention is paid. II Is the most
extraordinary situation ever known. In
the teeth Of the protests Of our commits
sion. the Spaniards first dismOunted the
guns Of the Alfonso XII, in tho Santa
Clara battery, and quietly returned them
TO the cruiser, and they now announce
that she Will sail for Spain on the thir-
