Anything in the nature of a donar tion is sure to strike the Spaniard favorably. The offer of the government to give free transportation to the famliiesof officers form Porto Rico to Spain, has resulted in an avalanche of wed* dings over the island. The yield of cotton this year will, it

Is estimated, be i,30u,uuu oaies larger than ever before. It might be well next year to withhold the customary advice to the southern farmer to diversify his crops. The formula seems to be—more advice, more cotton. It is stated that United States secret service officers, aided by Chief Lees, have discovered that large numbers of counterfeit $100 silver certificates have been produced in San Francisco. The operators are reported to be under police surveillance.

On the 6th 367,000 acres of land on the Red Lake reservation, in Minnesota, was thrown open to settlement under the Nelson act, which requires five years’ residence and a payment of $1.25 an acre at the end of that period. In spite of the official hospitalities which are being lavished upon the American peace commissioners in Paris, the general tone toward them continues distinctly unfriendly, and society is giving the delegates a wide berth, reserving all their attentions for the Spanish representatives. Diplomatic circles in Madrid continue to be agitated by the developments at Paris, and it is noticeable that the public is awakening from the signing of the protocol. The Philippines is the all-absorbing question. The official reports of the trouble with the Bear Island Indians ascribe it to differences between the United States authorities and the Indians over the cutting of timber on their reservation. The United States authorities prescribed certain limits within which timber could be cut. The Indians ignored these regulations, and undertook to cut timber wherever they pleased. A detachment of the Third infantry, with Col. Bacon in command, had a battle with Pillager Indians on Beaf island. Leech lake, Minn., an the 5th.

He says the weather was so dirty that land could not be seen until after the ship was in the breakers. The report from Cairo that the treasure of the khalifa, valued at £ 10,000,000 ($50,000,000), had been found and was being forwarded to Cairo, is without foundation. Equally baseless is the repor- that Gen. Kitchener will resign the sirdarship. Speaking of the fight with the Bear Island Indians, Gen. Baker said: “No soldiers ever put up a gamer tight, and, considering that four-fifths of the men were recruits, their showing is one of which every American soldier may feel proud.” The New South Wales chamber of commerce estimates that the incoming season will produce a yield of 15,000,000 bushels of wheat.

FRIEHDLY INDIANS OH GOARDl TvntrSem Canoe Loftdi nf Indiana Oaatroni of Pence Arrive at the Agency—Signing a Paper* Walker, Minn*. Oct. 10.—When the troops reached the agency they found that the friendly Indians had them* selves maintained a picket line covering a line of woods which surrounds the settlement. About as many as 50 of the Indians have done picket duty. Now that the troops are ou the ground, these formidable preparations for defense will probably be abandoned, but there will be Indian scouts out all the time ready to bring prompt warning of anything that even" looks dangerous. It is said by those who know them that these agency Indians will not hesitate to kill a hostile as quickly as would a soldier. Saturday night Mah-Ge-G ay-Bo w, one of the head men of the Bear Island Indians, arrived on the agency point with 27 canoe loads of the Bear Islanders, comprising those of them who are for peace. There are 75 or 100 in the party, men, women and children. They went into camp about five miles from the agency, and Mah-Ge-Gay-Bow called on Gen. Bacon at once. He said that he had told the hostiles on the island that he could not go with them, that he and hia friends were for peace with the white men, and that they were going to the

agency. “All right,” said the hostiles, laconically, “tell them what we are doing,’ and they allowed Mah-G e-Gay-Bow tc depart in peace. “Kah-Win-Nin-Ge-Ka-Da-Zin,” said the old man, when he was pressed with inquiries as to the number of hostiles, their present whereabouts and their intentions for the future. This, being interpreted, means: “I don’t know anything more about it.” He did say that, so far as he knew, none of the hostiles was killed in the tight, but they all say that. As to how many Indians were actually on the war path, the agency Indians are disposed to hold this number down to something under 100, and many of them say there are not more than 25 or 30. Dr. Hart has prepared a paper which the Indians are being asked to sign as fast as they come into the agency. It is already signed by more than 100 Indians, Including a dozen or fiften of the head men and chiefs, from Flat Mouth down. It reads as follow’s: “To the Great Father, Washington: We,the undersigned,Chippewa-Pillager Indians of the Leech Lake reservation, in Minnesota, deplore the outbreak of some of oxir brethren upon our reservation, and believe you desire that justice shall be done in your dealings with us. We have, therefore, resolved, in council assembled, to remain loyial to the United States and friendly to our white brethren, and we agree to use our influence with our friends and relatives, the Bear Indians, to lay down their arms and quietly* submit to the authority of the United States.” TO THE FRONTIER.

There was a brilliant charge made by the Sioux, routing their enemies, and, in turn, there was a return charge of the Blackfeet, who had been reinforced by a lot of Indians who had been loafing down among the trees on the west side of the camp. In the f*nal charge the Sionx were outnumbered and routed, leaving their pretended dead upon the field. Cheaper Than Riding On a I'm*.

FORESIGHT OF THE NAVY, rkt Medical Department, Especially, Fore» handed at AU FreparaUoa* tor All Kmerirnaelea. Washington, Oct. 10.—Probably ni better illustration can be found of the foresight exhibited by the navy in prep. ring for the war then is afforded by the history of the medical corps during the struggle. This is set out iia the annual report of Surgeon-Generai W. K. Van Reypen, which i^ the first of the navy bureau reports submitted for publication. Surgeon-General Van Reypen begins with a modest tribute to the good judgment and foresight of his predecessor, Gen. Tryon, who in putting ix> order and equipping the several naval* ' hospitals was of incalculable service to the bureau, enabling it to properly care for the sick or wounded of thenavy during the war. "When the Maine was blown up Surgeon-General Van* Reypen was in charge of the bureau and began preparations immediately for any contingency. The hospitalswere fully equipped, plans were prepared for pavilion wards,and the navaf laboratory prepared to furnish medical* and surgical supplies in any quantity.. No additional expense was incurred until war seemed imminent, then every vessel likely to be engaged was given * full outfit of medical supplies for war. In anticipation of a large increase of the navy, proper outfits were .made ready and boxed for a large number of ships ready for call.” “There hasnot been an instance during the war,” says the surgeon-general,” of any vessel having had to wait for her medical

It was known that the medical corpswas inadequate in number for war,, yet there was no law authorizing theemployment of volunteer medical officers. But the medical boards were sent out in anticipation to the principal cities to examine applicants forappointment, and as a consequence,, when war broke out, the medical department had at hand, from which to* make selections of volunteer surgeons*, a long list of well-educated men. and 37 of these were appointed out of 2,000* applicants. Surgeon-General Tan Reypen says: They have rendered efficient service, and have been a credit tS the navy. Some have had unusual, and trying experiences, brtt they haveaccommodated themselves to their environments an ft have justified their appointments.” “Only one medical officer was killed during the war, Assistant Surgeon. John Blair Gibbs, who fell at Guantanamo, serving with the marine battalion.” The medical department had long" desired to establish a hospital serviw at sea on a specially selected vessel,, and the approach of the war gave it an opportunity to demonstrate the wisdom of its proposition and the efficiency of its methods. The steamer Creole was purchased, and, with the* valuable assistance of Naval Constructor Woodward, was converted into ani ambulance ship within 16 days, fitted with every appliance of modern surgery, disinfecting apparatus, col4 storage, laundry and elevator. She* was a pioneer in her work, indicatinga step in advance that it well becametbe United States to taka, The report gives a succinct historyof the valuable services rendered by tbe Solace in caring for the sick and; wounded. , „ THE CASE OF W.
