WEEPING AT SAN JUAN.
Affecting Scenes When Soldiers
Sailed For Spain.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 21.-The
Spanish transport San Francisco sailed
for Spain today. There was a repetition
of yesterdays scenes when the Asturas
battalion marched to the wharf for en-
barkation. Captain General Macias and
his staff reviewed the departing soldiers,
who babe a farewell to their sweethearts
and wives.
Some of the soldiers wept profusely,
and there was quite a pathetic aspect 20
the affair. AS the ship swung away from
the pier. the soldiers on board of her rails
ed faint cheer and the women proceeded
10 the wharf, where they stood for hours
waving their handkerchiefs until the San
Francisco was only a speck on the hori-
Eon.
f, The SDaniards. at the meetings of the
military commissioners, are raising many
questions regarding the civil administra-
ton of the island and the disposition of
public property. but the American COM
missioners refuse to discuss tnem as be-
ing beyond their jurisdiction. Our COM
missioners are disposed to allow the Span
iards to carry off a lot of useless old ma
terial rather than make a fight TO retain
it.
The United States steamer Supply is
here, bound for Santiago.

OPPOSITION TO RECIPROCITY
PROTECTED INDUSTRIES VERSUS
REPUBLICAN FREE TRADE.
Protests Pouring In Upon the Joint
High Commissioners In Session at
Quebec-Farmers Given a Hearing

Quebec, Sept. 22.-The people of the
United States are evidently beginning
to awaken to the great Importance of
the results which may come frcn the
work of the international joint high
commission, now in session in this city.
1t has become known that the Cana
dian representatives are urging that a
treaty embodying commercial reciproc-
ity be made, which treaty, it is held,
would seriously affect nearly all the
great industries of the United States
These industries are ,.)w being heard
from in a very emphatic way. During
the past "a hours the American COM
missioners have been besieged by dep
utations of Americans, praying that no
ironclad treaty be entered into which
would disturb, if not in many in
stances destroy the present protective
tariff laws of the United States.
Today the farmers of the United
States put in their protest and it was
a very strong one. They were repre-
worthy master of the National Grange,
and N. ]. Bachelor of New Hampshire,
chairman of the national executive
committee. They were given a full
hearing, and will have another audi
ence before the commissioners act.
Following Mr.. Jones came another
earnest protest from Mr.. Albert Clark,
president of the Home Market club of
Boston. He said the organization he
spoke for had upwards of 1000 mem
DerS, mostly manufacturers, and repre-
scented a total capital interest of $780,
900, 900. He opposed commercial reel
procity. He said that between two
countries having the same products for
exchange, reciprocity was never sue
cessful. If Canada and the United
States each had something the other
did not have, it would be a different
proposition.
the interstate commerce commission,
but now chairman of the board of di-
rectorS of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad, spoke concerning the
traffic bonding system. He believed
the Canadian railroads should be sub
ject to the Interstate. commerce laws,
and in case of violation, American
traffic over the lines should be sus-
pended. instead of imposing a fine, as
is done in case of violation on the part
of American roads.
Hon. C. S. Hamhn of the Boston
Merchants association opposed Colonel
Walkers scheme. He insisted that the
present bonding system by which
United States products were carried
over Canadian roads from one point to
another in the United States without
duty, was entirely equitable and sat
isfactory. He desired no change from
present conditions.
Another protest came from Congress
man j. A. Tawney of Minnesota in be-
half of the lumbermen Of the United
States. He presented to the American
commissioner a printed memorial
signed by $50 of the principal lumber
firms in q states, and protesting
against the reduction of the duty on
Canadian lumber

DIED LIKE a SOLDIER,
But Captain Worden Was Killed By
Neglect.

Denver, Sept. 22.-Captain Charles
A Worden of company E, Seventh
United States infantry, who died yes
terday from the effects of malarial
fever contracted in the campaign be-
fore Santiago, was buried today at
Fairmont cemetery with military
honors. Chaplain McCleery read the
army burial service in the presence of
the family Of the deceased at Fort
Logan.
Friends of the late Captain Worden
believe that he would have recovered
had he received proper care during his
ten days detention in quarantine in
Tampa after his arrival from Santa
go, but they Indignantly deny the pub
lished report that he made a dying
statement to the effect that the gov
eminent had allowed him to starve to
death. They say that he uttered no
word of complaint and died as he
fought at Ell Caney, like a true SOL
der.

visions, brigades and regiments The
matter of commanding and staff Off
GERS will be settled after the muster
ing out of general and staff officers has
