Capital.
Des Moines. Sept 1a.-The quarterly
conferenc of the board of control with
the superintendent and wardens Of the
thirteen Institutions under the board's
charge. was opened at the capitol at 2
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The su-
perintendents and wardsns We're all
present and also Mrs T. F. McC'une.
wife of Superintendent McGune of the
college for the blind at Ninton. From
outside of the state. there We're present
Superintendent l.. d. Drake, of the re-
| form school at Bonneville, Mo-, and DR..
| H A. Tomlinson. superintendent of the
state hospital at ST. Peter. Mimi
Two papers We're read and discussed
| in the course Of the afternoon. The
committee on uniforms also made re-
4 port. In this report slight changes in
1 the uniforms now used We're recom-5
mended. The report was read and then
4 laid over for final action. DR.. g. III. Hill,
4 superintendent Of the hospital for the

\ this committee.
Interest was manifest on the reading
Il
4 Mo, on the subject. Industries in Re-
4 form Schools.'. Dr. Drake went into
the depths of the best methods for en-
4 ploying the boys of the reformatory in
4 stitutions The address was not all of
an abstract nature, inasumch az the
author. who is superintendent of the re-
Il form school at Bonneville, had brought
. for exhibition a collection of the prod
4 ucts of the shops there made by the
4 boys themselves. These consisted.
q aside from shoes and articles made from
4 wood, of many articles OF iron and steel,
4 such az hammers and tools of various
kinds. All these had been made by the
4 boys from the raw materials, evincing
Thigh degrees of skill. DR.. brakes idea,
and it is one strongly commended by the
, members of the board here, is that the
} hired mechanic should be done away
with in the reformatores and the boys
should be trained to do the work. The
) training and the moral benefits are OF
the utmost value, in DR.. brakes opin-
j ion. He said:
II am persuaded that the name in

tuition for boys especially. unless the

dents Of Institutions Holding
Regular Conference.

Des Moines, Sept. 19.-The commits
sion authorized by act of the last gem
seral assembly to locate the positions of
the different Iowa regiments at the
siege of yicksburg in 1863. met at the
Office Of Governor Shaw yesterday for
the purpose of organization and to de-
eide on a visit to the scene of the siege
1t was the first meeting of the COM
missioners since the appointment OF the
members by Governor Shaw.
Col. j. K. p. Thompson, Of Rock
Rapids, was chosen as president and
Col. j. w. Garner. of Columbus City,
secretary. After some discussion it was
decided to make visit to the field of
operations about Nicksburg November
u. At $50 the evening of November 81
the commissioners will leave the Pal
mer house in Chicago for the south over
the Illinois Central. Capt. j. T. Merry,
of Dubuque, who was at the meeting
yesterday, by invitation will accom-
panr the commissioners.
The commission Will branch off from
Memphis to Chattanooga and Will visit
that battlefield before proceeding to
Nicksburg, in order that the commits
sioners may act intelligen,ly in making
their recommendations to the governor
for future legislation
The commission will determine the
location of the different Iowa regiments
during the siege and designate them by
markers. 1t will then recommend to the
governor such legislation as should in
Tits belief be enacted in regard to mon
uments. The expenses of the commits
!. sion are paid by the state. 1t is be-
| iieved it will be enabled to5complete the
work of investigation in ten days or
| two weeks. There is a difference IN
| Views on the policy 10 be adopted re-
| garding monuments. Some favor a
\ magnificent state monument and mark
ers for the regiments. Others believe
1 the positions of the regiments should
| be designated by inexpensive markers
and then each regiments memory
should be honored with fine monu-
lment at some point where 1t particu-
larly distinguished itself 1t is prob
| able the latter course will find more
adherents and several leading members
| of the commission expressed themselves
| in favor of it yesterday.
The plan of concentrating the SER
lvices of troops that took part at Nicks-
burg was first urged by Iowa men. In
Uses Col. Thompson and Capt. Merry
| took the matter up and pushed it for
ward. The Nicksburg National Milf
tary Park Association Was organized
mot long afterward. The Nicksburg
National Military Park consists of l.
i 255.7 acres all but sc acres of which
/ mas been decided 10 the government.
THE government has appointed COM
mission headed by Gen. Steven D. Lee,
4 a former confederate. which is on the
ground continually directing the clears

ing the building Of drives and boule-
wards.

WEYLER BOASTS THAT HE
 COULD HAVE HELD CUBA

ready to do 1t again. My best reply to my traducers is the esteem and affection in which I am held by the whole Spanish army the marks of devotion which have always been lavished upon me by my com panions in arms, both those in Cuba and those of the peninsula.
 General Weyler declared that if he had been able to gather together a strong con- servative party after the death of Canovas he would have prevented the loss of Cuba
 At the head of the Spanish troops which were then in the island said Gen. eral Weyler, I should have driven the Americans into the sea. The nasty levies of Americans would never have been able to cope with the Spaniards. l should never have asked for a fleet to be sent to me- My resources down there Gin Cuba) were quite ample. General Blanco made terrible mis- takes. He concentrated all his troops in Havana instead of adopting tactics which would have permitted him to devote his efforts to the points threatened by the Americans. It would have been easy to have saved Santiago by dispatching there endorsements at an earlier stage and with greater rapidity.
 But it is too late now concluded Gen. eral Weyler. Whats the good of crying over spilled milk? Policies lost us our col onies. No blame will ever or can attch to the army. All that it did was to obey or ders. It was in no wise responsible for our disaster"

New York November 16.-A dispatch to the Herald from Paris says
 General Weyler has emerged from his she'll and fired some hot shot at Anglo Saxons in general in an interview givsIl 20 the Figaro's correspondent He opened by saving that he once more protested against the abominable reputation created fSr him by the American and English iournals for political purposes.
 'He said that while he was Governor General of Cuba and defending the soved- eighty of Spain his acts of war were o1s- torted by the press of the English-cT1esS- ing nations, but that 1t remained for the stories of the real cruelties committed up- on the Boers by Lord Roberts and the Eng fish for European military writers to ac- knowledge that he (Weyler) never con- ducted himself in Cuba as the British have done in South Africa. Weyler added that people were now beginning to do him jus tice
 The truth of the matter is,' continued General Weyler, that 1 carried on the war in Cuba with the rigor which war requir- ed You cannot run tilts of courtesy and generosity with rebel and half-civilzed negroes like our revolted Cubans who were accustomed to massacre in horrible fash ion the soldiers had captured.
