lie affairs. The condition Is so intolerable that the business men of all parties have advised that the white men’s ticket be elected without opposition. The Republicans of Ne.w Hanover agreed to this, a\d there will be only one ticket in that county. Thousands of people have returned to the Democratic party, und hundreds of Republicans will vote with the Democrats on the local ticket. I spoke to-night at Southern Pines. It is practically populated by Northern settlers. With one possible exception the Northern settlers at that resort will void (he Democratic state and local ticket, though a majority of them are Republicans upon national issues. This is true also of the Northern settlers In other parts of North Carolina. Many of them are among the most active workers for the success of the Democratic ticket. With a large acquaintance among Northern settlers in the fctate, I do not know one w'ho is not an officeholder who will vote the fusion ticket. The campaign lifts resolved itself more Into a tight for white rule and protection to property than one of political divisions, and the Democratic victory, it seems now, will be won by the aid of the best element in the Republican and Populist party. Nearly all the men of these parties with large' property interests will vote with the Democrats. In the recent parade of one thousand men wearing red shirts, in Rlcnmond county, there were quite a number of white Populists and white Republicans. This shows their deep Interest in the campaign and the tremendous issues involved.*’ RepublleniM Urged to Vote. WILMINGTON, N. C., Nov. 4.—The political situation here was again disturbed to-day by the appearance late this evening of an address to Republican voters urging them to go to the polls and vote for judicial, congressional and senatorial tickets. It is signed hy Governor Russell, Senator Pritchard, Cyrus Thompson, chairman of the state Populist committee, A. E. Holton, Senator Butler and O. 11. Dockery, candidate for Congress. The objections on the part of the Democrats were confined to the senatorial candidacy of B. F. Keith and to the tone of the address, which It was thought was calculated to inflame the regroos. A committee waited on Keith to-otght and secured from him a card for publication, in which he announces positively that he is not a candidate for the Senate and will not serve if elected. The excitement subsided again and is not now likely to be renewed. White Republican* Warned. NKWBURN, N. C., Nov. 4.—A mass meeting of white men was held last night, at which a resolution was adopted declaring that “henceforth all w'liite men who vote and ally themselves with the negroes in politics shall be regarded and denounced as traitors to their race and country and as public enemies, and not to he associated with." A strong resolution was also adopted declaring that preference should henceforth be given to white over colored labor whenever practicable. Tillman Predict* Revolution. <’HARLOTTE, N. C., Nov. 4.—Senators Tillman and Daniel spoke here to-day. The former said: ■‘‘Fusion in North Carolina r.ow is nothing but Republicanism. The way to kill fusion is to invite Populists back as brothers and as white men who love North Carolina. But, If they don’t come, as sure as the sun shines the 150.000 Democrats will no longer submit to the present state of things. I say this because your people are of the same race as South Carolinians.’’ BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT. O’Dell Say* Roosevelt Will Win and Croker Predict* Vun YVyck’* Election. NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Chairman Odell, of the Republican state committee, has given out the following statement: “The campaign which is so rapidly drawing to a close fiom every indication points to a Republican victory. The closing of a careful canvass of the upstate counties convinces me that a plurality large enough to more than meet and offset any possible plurality that can be obtained in Greater New York by Tammany Hall is assured. I find that the constant talk by Tammany Hall leaders of their certainty of carrying the State has Been pure bluff. There is no possibility of their securing in the city of New York a plurality that would insure the election of Van Wyck, and they are now seeking with fake bets to bolster up what they know to be a losing cause. Their bets the Republicans are calling, and we are tnet with the information at their betting stand that there is no more Van Wyck money in sight. On the contrary, I am in receipt of information from hundreds of Democrats within the city of New York who propose to \-ote for Roosevelt, and I believe that there is a surprise in store for Democrats as well as for Republicans, only that the surprise for the Rtpubllcans will bei in the nature of a pleasing one. I claim the State of New York without any question for Roosevelt by at least 40.000. His magnificent canvass has awakened enthusiasm throughout the State, and his manly and courageous utterances and his reputation for honesty brve brought to him the independent voters Who are to decide this election.” Richard Croker, in a statement to the public, says: “I am confident that Judge Van Wyck will bo elected by a handsome plurality. He will have from 75,000 to 80.000 plurality in these two boroughs, and the rest of Greater New York will increase the total to 100,000.” Forakor Still Favors Expansion. PITTSBURG, Nov. 4.—Senator Foraker arrived in the city this evening and addressed two large meetings, one on the South Side and the other in Allegheny. He devoted almost his entire address to the national aspect of the present campaign. On the question of the Philippines he said: “If we keep anything at all, and I think the sentiment is overwhelming that we should, we ought to keep the whole, rather than simply a%part. It would require a greater army and a greater navy of the United States to v. defend a coaling station or a single island than it would to defend the whole group. FN>r that reason I think we ought to keep the whole of them; and I am speaking upon the theory’ that we will, because that demand has been made by the American commissioners by the direction and with the approval of the administration at Washington.” Other reasons he gave for the retention of the islands were that we may secure additional markets for our surplus production and that on the score of humanity the people of those islands should not be thrown back to the cruel and merciless government of Spain. McKinley to Roosevelt. NEW YORK. Nov. 4.—The following letter from President McKinley to Colonel Roosevelt was made public to-night by the Republican managers, with the statement that the letter was given out for the purpose of offsetting rumors that had been circulated that President McKinley had been “lukewarm, if not actually quietly hostile to Colonel Roosevelt: “Washington, D. C., Sept. 28. “My Dear Mr. Roosevelt—l congratulate you most heartily upon your nomination and you have my best wishes for a triumphant election. With warm regards to Mrs. Roosevelt and your family, believe me, your friend, WILLIAM M’KINLEY.” Many ’Will Go Home to Vote. fpieclal to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-An unusually large number of department clerks are going to their homes this year to cast their votes. This is particularly true of those accredited to the States of Ohio and Indiana. In these States there are several districts which are admitted by both sides among those classed in the doubtful column. Democrats and Republicans have been making strenuous efforts here in Washington to bring out the full strength. Department clerks have been importuned to go home und oast their ballots. There has been no threatening attitude, but every voter has been urged to exercise his right of citizenship. A Populist’* Allegation*. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 4.—Thomas Jefferson Haynes. Populist nominee for Congress in this district, to-day made public a statement over his signature that the Populist ticket was put in the field for the sole purpose of defeating the Democrats. He says he was promised S3OO for the use of his name as a candidate. He admits he has already received SIOO, but says he accepted it solely for exposing the scheme. Haynes refuses to give names of men who he says bought him. The New York Cumpalgn. NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—C01. Theodore Roosevelt spoke to crowds at five places in Kings county to-night. Augustus Van Wyck addressed over five thousand people at Albany this evening.

CUBANS REFUSE TO WORK SPANIARDS IMPORTED TO TOIL IN THE MINES OF SANTIAGO. *_ Street Cleaner* on Strike, Being Too Lazy to Labor for Good Wages-~ General Wood’* Threat. SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Nov. 4.—Two local mining companies, owing to the continued refusal of Cubans to accept employment in mines cn account of the organization of the frmy, have employed 45Q Galejodes miners from the ranks of the Spanish garrison at Cienfuegos. They were employed witn the consent of General Blanco. The work in the mines here has been delayed on account of the lack of laborers. The Galejodes men are the only ones available. They will begin work as soon as they arrive. Undoubtedly trouble will be raised by the Cubans over the introduction of Spanish laborers. General Wood will furnish protection, if necessary. The men are expected next week. The Cubans w’ho have been employed in cleaning and repairing the streets of Santiago have struck for higher wages, though they have been receiving $1 a day, or 50 cents and two rations—higher wages than have ever before been paid for similar work. In fact, local employers of labor hove teen complaining of this high rate, alleging that it was quite impossible for them to compete with the government on such terms. The Cuban laborers, at the best, are lazy and slipshod. They want an increase of 50 cents a day. Gen. Leonard Wood absolutely refuses to accede to the demand, and v ill adopt heroic measures if the strike is not promptly declared off. Tho trouble is that many of the strikers have rations enough on hand to last a month or more, and they think they can coerce the United States authorities. General Wood says he will arrest every laborer able to work, and, under a 'agrancy law which he will establish, compel him to work thirty days for rations while confined in jail. He dislikes tho idea of importing labor, but believes iliat this must be the ultimate result. Collector Donaldson has returned from Gilmru with $40,0U) customs receipts at that Place. He reports that then- is considerable sm;Uljox in the neighborhood of Holguin, but no yellow fever. Colonel Hood s Second Immune Regiment is encamped at Gibara in a healthful locality, waiting to occupy Holguin on Nov. 10. Len. Demetrius Castillo, who is assisting In the work of organizing the military department in that district, is busv engaging men for gendarmerie, accepting men only of good physique. Colonel Ray, who has returned from Guantanamo, says that the Cuban general, Perez, is about to graibt indefinite furlough to his men to enable them to go to work, the reason apparently being that many are practically starving and would have gone to work anyhow. Lieut. J. H. Blount, the judge advocate, is acting as lieutenant governor. Captain Chester, of the United Slates cruiser Cincinnati, after an examination of the wreck of the Reina Mercedes, is of the opinion that the vessel can be rnsed at small expense. She is of an antiquated type, but would be useful, when repaired, as a school ship or for coast defense, although it would be necessary to lay out a large sum in refitting her. Dr. Woodson, medical inspector of the military department of Santiago, who arrived yesterday in the United States cruiser Cincinnati, after visiting Holguin, Gibara, Baracoa, Sagua de Tanamo and Guantanamo. reports that on his arrivl at Gibara with Colonel Hood’s regiment, he discovered more than half the population suffering from smallpox. There were also many cases of typhoid and dysentery’. He went immediately to work and systematically isolated the houses, insisting on the regiment (the Second Immunes) being encamped in a healthful location near the sea. Every effort will be made to prevent the American and Spanish soldiers from fraternizing, as the Spaniards come from Holguin, about thirty-seven miles from Gibara, and are liable to carry infection. The whole country between the two towns is thickly populated and plague is scattered all along the route. Medical supplies are badly needed there, as well as delicacies for convalescents, and the situation offers an excellent opening for the nurses and doctors of the Red Cross Society. General Wood will soon leave to make a personal inspection of the points visited by Dr. Woodson, despite the advice of his friends not to do so. The military governor is simply indefatigable in the line of duty. He will send Dr. Woodson back to Gibara on the steamer Reina de los Angeles with five doctors and a large quantity of supplies. General Wood says he knew of the epidemic, which has been continuouo for three years, and had every man in Colonel Hood’s regiment vaccinated. He believes that none will be stricken and that there is no cause for alarm. Colonel Ray, of the Third Immune Regiment, reports a recent affray on the Santa Isabel plantation between two of his men who were guarding cattle and some fifteen insurgents. Three of the Cubans are believed to have been wounded, but their comrades carried them off. Colonel Ray sent for the Cuban general, Perez, and questioned him regarding the matter, declaring that he was positive the men were of Perez’s command. as they were all armed and Wore Cuban cockades. He insisted that if Perez kept his men under arms he should also keep them in camp. “I cannot understand your object,” said Colonel Ray to Perez, “in keeping your men armed in American territory. Are they armed against the Americans? There are no Spaniards in arms within a hundred miles. What is the necessity of doing what can only lead to further trouble?” , , General Perez said he would issue orders restraining his men from similar predatory attempts. . „ . . Colonel Ray replied: “I shall treat all armed Cubans caught stealing or trying to steal cattle as bandits. There is no reason why these men should not go to work. Colonel Borrup has completed his schedule of the guns captured from the Spaniards to be shipped north. The total number is 131, varying from one and a half inches up to eight and a half inches in caliber. There are eighty-six six-inch bronze pieces, three steel guns and forty-two cast iron Runs In addition to this ordnance there are 22,000 Mauser rifles and 10,000,000 cartridges. CUBAN SOLDIERS STARVING. Letter from Lieut. Col. Carftonne to Senor <tnc*ada. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—The following letter from Lieutenant Colonel Carbonne, of the Cuban army, now at Havana, has been received by Secretary Quesada, of the Cuban delegation here, who has laid it before Secretary Alger with an urgent request that steps be taken to relieve the extreme distress it sets forth. Lieutenant Colonel Carbonne is the inventor of the explosive known as carbonito and is regarded as the representative at Havana of the .Cuban leaders and forces in the field. He writes as follows, the letter bearing date Havana, Oct. 29: "I am just back from the camp of General Menocal, chief of our army in this province, and let me tell you in some faint way the true state of our poor and suffering army and the consequences that may come to the country if we do not find in a short time a remedy which will save us. The Cuban army Is dying of hunger. Such terrible words in no way exaggerate the actual condition. General Menocal took me to see his weak, tottering and squalid soldiers—made so on account of the want of lood and the actual necessaries of life-rand to think that these men were in such a stale by reason of obeying their chiefs, who desire first of all to respect the orders of the American government. The Cuban leaders in camp told me to tell you that they will maintain resignation and patience, and, above all, faith in the American government and the, worthy President, Mr. McKinley, hut at the same time let it be understood that we are hungry: that we have in tne towns and fields of Cuba all that is needed in the way of food, but that we are forbidden to touch it by reason of the peace order. They do not get from Havana onefourth of what they need, and our soldiers are dying at the gates of the city for lack of food. What shall we do? The time wili come when we cannot bear it any longer, and then what will be the result? I returned disconsolate to Havana and tried to get succor, but the people are already so poor that I obtained nothing. We went to the American commission, which received us very well and offered us much, but up to the present time they have given us nothing. If by misfortune we are driven by the necessities of our army to get by force what we need so as not to die of hunger will the people of the United States condemn us or will the nations of the world, which do not know what is happening, judge us unworthy of the sympathy of the American people? We

were very happy to hear your assurances as to our republic. We have never doubted the good faith and generosity of the United States. To it we owe the complete liberty which w r e have been unable in many years to establish by ourselves.” Secretary Alger said that he would look into the matter and would telegraph the commission at Havana such instructions as were appropriate to the case.

MASSACRE IN NEW GUINEA. Sixteen Native* bln in ly Bnshmen— Eruption in New Hebrides. VANCOUVER, B. C„ Nov. 4—The Royal Mail steamer Aorangi, which arrived this evening from Sydney, Wellington and Honolulu, brings reports that another massacre has occurred in New Guinea. Bushmen living on the slopes of Mount Suckling have raided villages near Masina, Collingwood bay, and killed a government chief and fifteen other men. They also threatened the Angelican mission at Sinapa. Another volcanic eruption has occurred in the New Hebrides, more alarming than its predecessors. The volcano Lopeira, after remaining quiescent for twenty years, broke out, and the burning lava thrown up could be seen twelve miles away. Five villages Were huddled at tho base of the volcano and the houses were buried in scoria at the first outbreak. The sea for miles around *builed :t a high temperature, and jets of water leaped high into the air. Fortunately none of the inhabitants of the live destroyed villages was buried under the melted lava. A few days after tho outbreak the natives went tip to the top of the still smoking volcano, carrying bunches of cocoanuts, which they offered up as a sacrifice “to make the tire dead.” TWO CONSUMPTIVES CURED. Dr. B. J. Murphy’* Treatment Reported to Have Been Successful. CHICAGO, Nov. 4.—Dr. B. J. Murphy’s new treatment for consumptives has apparently worked its first cures. The patients are William B. Purcell and J. C. Edwards, who have been undergoing the treatment for a little over three months. The treatment is that which excited wide interest when presented in a paper read by Dr. Murphy before the American Medical Association at Denver this summer. There are now between sixty and seventy patients taking the treatment. The Cook County Hospital lor Consumptives, a charitable institution with accommodations for 380 patients, which will be opened next week, will try the treatment on an extended scale. HEEDS BRITAIN. (Concluded from First Page.) eral policy of the government. He complained of the excessive measures taken in the recent strike, of the reactionary tendencies in the arraj and of the dismissal of pro-Dreyfus university professors. M. Dupuy replied that the government did not intend to introduce new laws, as those already existing sufficed to guarantee order and protect the army. As to the Dreyfus case, the premier added, light will be thrown upon it the day the court renders its decision, which will be enforced by the government. Continuing, M. Dupuy said: “We do not leave the national army a butt to the campaign of insult waged against it if we place it above the blind polemics which futilely seek to throw unjust responsibilities upon it. The army is still more entitled to tiie solicitude and protection of the public powers since it can only work usefully for the security of the country in quietude and silence. It is equally necessary that calmness attend the work of justice, and respect of our duty is to insure the execution of its decisions, whatever they may be.” The chamber approved the ministerial declaration by a vote of 429 to 64. The minister of finance, M. Peytral, introduced the budget and M. Delcasse, the minister of foreign affairs, replying to demands for the discussion of- the Fashoda question, said he was unable to fix a date for it in view of the interests he had to safeguard, but he added he hoped to arrange an early date for its discussion. The minister of justice. M. Lebret, replying to a motion providing that all revision cases be submitted to the whole Court of Cassation instead of to particular departments, said it was impossible to alter the procedure already started in the Dreyfus case. The House then adjourned. General Renoiiiiril Removed. PARIS, Nov. 4.—The minister of war. M. De Freycinet, has signed a decree removing General Renouard from the head of the general staff and appointing him to the command of the Eleventh Army Corps at Nantes.

A WOMAN’S VENGEANCE ♦ MRS. BLACK KILLS THE MAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING HER.

MUNCIE, Ind„ Nov. 4.—At the home of Smith Childs, ex-deputy sheriff, eight miles southwest of Muncie, in Harrison township, Lavina Black, aged twenty-nine, wife of John W. Black, shot and killed John L. Bailey at 10 o'clock this morning. The woman used a 32-caliber revolver, and emptied all six of the chambers at the man. The first shot struck the man in the forehead, causing almost instant death. Two other bullets took effect, one in the left arm arid the other in the back. Ten days ago Mrs. Black preferred a charge of criminal assault against Bailey, causing a big sensation, because of the prominence of the two families. Black and Bailey are well-to-do farmers, whose farms join that of Childs, where the shooting took place. It was alleged that Bailey came to the Black home in the absence of Mr. Black and assaulted the woman. In the preliminary trial before Mayor Tuhey the defendant escaped on evidence furnished by physicians. Mrs. Black is small and by no means beautiful. She was highly respected, and a daughter of John W. Jones, a farmer near Yorktown. Mrs. Black went to the Childs home this morning for a bucket of water. When she arrived there she found Bailey, Childs and Dr. Trobridge. The woman passed near the men, secured her bucket of water, and, as she came back, suddenly pulled the revolver from her dress and began shooting. She then took her bucket of water home, called her' husband trom a field, told him what had occurred, and the two drove to Muncie. where the woman surrendered to the officers and is in jail.

San Franeliwo May Be Witliont Newspaper* for a. Few Days. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.—The pressmen employed in the newspaper offices here struck to-day for an increase of wages. The increase would amount to about $40,000 a year to the newspapers. About seventy-five men are employed In the newspaper pressrooms of the city. The stereotypers In the Report office also struck and walked out. The employes of the Post and Bulletin remained in their places all afternoon, but these papers waited for the Report. It was 5:30 before the Report’s plates could be made at the Bulletin office and sent down to the Examiner office to be printed. At that hour all three afternoon papers appeared and there was a wild scramble for them by the new’sboys. The men in the morning paper pressrooms have been ordered out by the union, but it is not certain that they w r ill all go. The pressmen count on the sympathy of the stereotypers to help them win their fight and may try to involve all the mechanical departments of the papers. The various unions held meetings to-night to decide what is to be done. The members of the Publishers’ Association declare that they will stand by their agreement not to publish their papers unless all the others can publish, tend it is very probable that the people of San Francisco will have to go without news during election time.

GREAT STRUGGLE TO-DAY PENNSYLVANIA TO MEET HARVARD ON THE LATTER’S GRIDIRON. © Princeton to Play We*t Point and Rose Polytechnic to Tackle the Louisville Kicker*. * CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 4.—Pennsylvania’s football eleven visited Harvard today for the purpose of Inspecting the football field on which the first great struggle of the season is to take place. They spent half an hour or so in walking about the gridiron. The men all seemed to be in good condition with the exception of Outland, w’ho has a slight limp and probably will not start in to-morrow's game. The Harvard team to-day had its last practice before to-morrow's game, kicking and signal woik being the principal features. The team lined up as it will face Pennsylvania, with Jaffray at center. Mills and Haughton will be in the game at right tackle, but the question of who goes in first will not be settled until after the toss-up for goal. Neither Warren, Beal nor Cochrane, all of w'hom have been on the crippled list, showed any sign of recent injuries, and this fact sets Harvard stock up a peg. That Harvard will be able to withstand the guards’ back formation of Pennsylvania few of the home team supporters dare to hope, but there are many who think that Harvard ought to show supremacy in kicking and on the ends, enough at least to counteract Pennsylvania’s decided advantage at center. The game will be called at 2 o’clock,, and the indications point to an unusually large attendance. Rose Polytechnic at Louisville To-Day LOUISVILLE, Nov. 4.—The game between the Louisville football team and Rose Polytechnic, of Terre Haute, here to-mor-row promises to be well contested.

Mellhenny.Right half baek...Huthstewer Henry or EllL.Left half back Glenn E. McDonald....Full back Meriwether The Rose Polytechnic team is one of the strongest elevens in Indiana. The average weight is 172 pounds. This is a trifle better than the Louisville average. l’rinceton Rested. PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 4.—The Princeton football team took matters easy to-day and several of the men were.given a wellearned rest. The ’varsity team, filled out with a number of substitutes, scored once against the scrubs in a game of fifteen minutes’ length. Drill in the fine points of the various positions was the order of the day. Hutchinson, the freshman quarter back, appeared in anew role as a kicker, and he dropped several beautiful goals from the thirty-yard line. The team wul leave to-morrow for West Point, where against the cadets the last game of the season previous to the final struggle with Yale will be played. • * DIRTY FOOTBALL PLAYERS. Rose Polytechnic Launches a Charge Agiiinfct a De Pnnw Kicker. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In the issue of the Journal of Oct. 9 there appeared a report from your Greencastle correspondent of the football game played by the De Pauw University and Rose Polytechnic teams. In this report there is a severe criticism of the character of the game played by the Rose team, especially by Mr. Stone, of that team. Assuming that the game had been fairly reported, I instructed the athletic committee of our faculty to make a thorough investigation in order that if the allegations as published were true and Mr. Stone guilty as stated, proper action could be taken. The faculty of Rose desires to foster clean, honest athletics and to purge all sports of the objectionable features which have given rise to just criticism. No student wdiose record is not clean and who does not play a clean game will be permitted to play on the team. The report of the athletic committee is before me. Upon careful Investigation it finds that the charge of "dirty” play on the part of the Rose Polytechnic Institute is not well founded. The evidence obtainable indicates that the “dirty” play was principally chargeable to one member of the De Pauw team, Mr. Fisher, who openly boasted of such play; that he several times struck and fouled opposing players, and that on one occasion he jumped on the back of one of the players in our team down on his face and struck the prostrate player three times back of the ear with sufficient force to cause a large swelling. At this juncture Mr. Stone pulled Mr. Fisher off of the back of Mr. Glenn and in retaliation and in defense struck him twice. Mr. Stone’s forgetting. himself so far as to strike one of the ers is regretted, but under the provocation the circumstances do not warrant his exclusion from the team, or the charges made against him by your correspondent. Your correspondent, in defiance of the rules, persisted in coming on the field and only under the very decisive protests of Captain Davis was he excluded. C. x,. MEES, President. Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 31. PORTO RICANS NOT SATISFIED. Gen. Roy Stone Say* Tliey Have Grievance* Against American*. NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Gen. Roy Stone, w’ho has just returned from Porto Rico, says: ‘‘The people of Porto Rico are not at all satisfied with American rule. There is a growing difference between the ratives and the militia, which is greatly to be regretted. When the army of occupation first invaded the island the natives received the Americans cordially, as they expected to be treated as people of this country and not as a conquered province. The treatment they have received from our hands has been just the opposite. This has produced a chill. What the Porto Ricans want is to be taken in as a part of the United States. They do not expect to enter the Union as a State, but as a people in training to be advanced to statehood. In addition to this, they want free trade with the United States, and there is no reason that I can see why they should not have it. At present they are forced to pay duty on all imported goods, Spanish included, which were free before. “Our military government of the Island has been far from satisfactory. We have destroyed the Spanish military rule and have not replaced it with American forces, thus destroying their safeguards to life and property. Asa result of this, from 150 to 200 of the finest plantations nave been destroyed by fire. Just w'hois responsible for this I cannot say. The infantry there is of very little use in policing the island. We must have cavalry. In addition, there should be a civil guard, composed of Porto Rican privates and American officers. There is a great deal of sickness among cur troops, but it is due principally to the imprudence of the men, and not to any neglect of officers or heads of departments.” Gen. Stone will advise the establishment of a railroad system throughout the islands. Flrnt Flair Captured in Porto Rico. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—A tom and weather stained Spanish flag was received at the Navy Department to-day bearing the following inscription: “The first Spanish flag hauled down in Porto Rico by United States forces.
