CUBA AND PORTO RICO.
Gov. Wood. of the Former. and Commits
aioner of Education BruIbauRka, of the
Latter. Report TO the Presidents.

Canton, O., Oct. 27.-Gov. Wood, of
Cuba, reached Canton Friday morning
and remained until IL o'clock at night
Gov. Wood came to confer with the
president and Secretary of War Root
on number of matters connected
with Cuban offices. He was accom-
panied by Perfecto Lacoste, secretary
of agriculture of Cuba.
Another caller at the Mckinley home
was NJ. G. Brulbaugh, commissioner
of education for Porto Rico. Mr.. Brul-
baugh said conditions in Porto Rico
are steadily improving. There is much
interest and considerable excitement
over the first election. The contest
has developed lines similar to those in
the United States. The republican
party is in full hamony with President
Mckinley and for American admin
istration, while the federal party with
in the past two weeks has Endorsed
Bryan, declared for Porto Rico and
against American administration. The
latter party embraces the pro-Span-
ish element, he said, and the former
the great industrial classes. Rapid re-
covery is being made from the HURT
cane distress. The government of
Porto Rico is as solvent as any bank,
he said, and no debt is contracted I'M
til the money is available to meet it.
The people as a class are eager for
education and accepting all the oppor-
tunities offered them. The duties on
imports from the United States for
the first week of October exceeded the
total trade of the United States with
the island for whole yea under
Spanish dominion, showing the open
ing of an important market.

Beigler and three privates were slight

Archbishop Chappelle, who recently
left Manila accompanied by several
friars for the northern districts of
Luzon under conditions that aroused
the suspicious of the Filipinos here
that he intended to establish the

REDUCING THE ARMY.
Republican National Committee Says the
Armed Forces VIII Drop Back to
1880 by Next July.

New York, Oct. 27.-The republican
national committee issued the follow
ing statement concerning the United
States army yesterday:
Reports received from the war depart
nent at Washington by the republican
national committee give news of the
gradual reduction of the forces of oc-
cupation in the army. Gen. Davis, COM
manding the department in Porto Rico,
recommends that the troops on that is
land be withdrawn almost entirely. He
thinks IS companies sufficient to garrison
the island. AS Porto Rico is an impor-
men will be needed there still to man
the forts, especially at San Juan. Or
ders have been issued for the reduction
of the troops in China and plans made
for their final withdrawal. It is hoped
that when the election is over the situa-
ton will improve sufficiently in the Phil
ippines to warrant a material reduction
of force there
Secretary Root recently called atten-
ton to the fact that in the fall of 1898,
when President Mckinley recommended
the retention of 100000 men in the army,
he was arguing for a decrease and not
an increase, for then there were 272, 600
men in service. The war with Spain was
not ended, for the peace treaty had not
been ratified. In the meantime, people
remember that, unless there is further
legislation on the subject, the army will
drop back to it's former limit of q 800
men next July, which is only one-third
of what 1t was in proportion to the size
of the country, so great has been the
growth in population.
This makes little allowance for the
elaborate scheme of coast Notifications
proposed by the late Samuel J. Tilden for
the protection of peaceful republic.

kaoArthar Gives Particulars of Battle
IA Miles East OF Narvican in which
100 Rebels Were Ruled.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Gen. MacAr@
thur gives an account of a detach-
ment of troops of the Thirty-third
regiment and Third cavalry attacking
a much superior force of Filipinos IA
miles east of Narvican, nocos prov
ince, Luzon. There were 1000 bolo-
men under Juan Villamor, subordinate
of limos. There were 400 American
rifemen and a desperate battle en-
sued, which was most creditable to
the Americans, though they were I'M
der heavy pressure by overwhelming
numbers. Our troops were compelled
to return to Narvican, which was &C
complished in a tactical. orderly man
ner. The insurgents lost $50 men.
The Americans lost six killed and
score wounded and missing. Twenty
nine horses are also missing.

GREAT RAILWAY DEAL.
The Vanderbiits Said to Have Secured Con-
troll of the Southern Pacific, Approx
mating Eight Thousand Miles.

New York, Oct. 27.-It is stated on
good authority that the Nanderbilts
have obtained control of the Southern
Pacific railway system. Aside from
the Vanderbilt ambition to establish
and maintain a transportation line
from the Atlantic coast at New York
to San Francisco and thence to the
far east, the taking over of the South
ern Pacific is an accomplishment great
er than any other coalition hitherto
forecast. Acquiring control of the
great Southern Pacific system, ap-
proximating 5000 miles, is an accom-
plishment which makes relatively in
significant the recent making over by
the New York Central of the Boston
& Albany property.
