EVACUATION
' OF CUBA SLOW
BUT CERTAIN
Six Thousand SpM Troops Hays Gone
and Forty Thousand Mors are
Now Ready to Leare.
FLAG WILL BE
RAISED THE FIRST
The United States Will Take Possession
Then Whether the Evacuation Has
Been Completed or Not Resort to
the Arbitrament of the Sword Cer
tain to Follow any Possible Fail
ure of the Paris Peace Negotia
tions.
Washington, Oct. 19. General Wade,
president of the Cuban evacuation com
mission, telegraphed the war depart
ment last night that 6000 Spanish' sol
diers had been embarked already for
Spain, and arrangements completed, of
which the commissioners had been duly
notified bo the Spanish commissioners,
for embarkation of 40,000 more troops in
the near future. On the whole, this
rate of progress, in view of the limited
resources of Spain, is believed to be
reasonable. The United States will take
charge in Cuba December 1, whether
Spain has removed all her soldiers or
not. This may happen even while the
o . . .
opanisn commissioners at l'a ris are
still desperately striving to secure con
sideration by the joint commission of
questions affecting the Cuban debt.
Now that the Spanish peace commis
sioners have been repulsed in their'ef
forts to have United States assume
sovereignty over Cuba as a means of
thus transferring to - our shoulders the
Cuban debt, the next movement looked
for on their part is one in the direction
of imposing this indebtedness upon the
CubanB themselves, when they shall
bave erected some form of government
on ruins or Spanish sovereignty. This
wonld be something in the nature of a
last report on the part of the bondhold
ers. Any suggestion of arbitration would
be ont of place in connection with the
peace commission, and should it come to
irreconcilable differences between the
two commissions there can be but one
arbitrament, that of the eword, for
which our government is fully prepared,
but which it does not expect to be
obliged to enter upon.
THE LARGEST
EVER SAVED
The Palouse Country Grain Crop is
Certainly a Record Breaker This
Year.
Colfax, Oct. 19. Harvesting in the
Palouse country bas been completed.
Every threshing machine has pulled in,
and the hauling of grain to various
shipping points will be finished by No
vember 1, or perhaps a little sooner. So
far this season, the total ehipment of
new wheat has not exceeded 275,000
bushels, most of this being to Spokane
in milling, and the Sound.
Since the completion of harvesting,
farmers and graindealers have concluded
that the crop of this year is the largest
ever harvested in? the Palouse country.
Although the average yield is less than
in 1897 and several other former sea
aona, the aggregate yield ha9 been great
er, owing to largely increased acreage.
Farmers are holding their wheat, con
fident that 60 cents a bushel or better
will be offered within the next six weeks.
The only eales so far made bave been of
83iall lots. ,
SHE WAS RUN
' ; ON A REEF
Steamer Brixham Was Wrecked Near
Fort Wrangle The Pa ssengers all
Were Saved.
Seattle, Oct. 18. A report from Vic
toria says the steamer Dirigo, just ar
rived fron Skaguay, brings sews that
the steamer Brixham ran on a reef on
Blaehe island, 30 miles south of Fort
Wrangle, and is probabiy a total wreck.
A number of passengers were taken off
her by the steamer Al-Ki while bound
North. Some of the passengers asked
the captain of the Dirigo to bring them
and the crew down, but the captain
states that he was ' compelled to leave
them, as the Dingo's accommodations
were already full. The remaining pas
sengers and crew have camped on the
island. . - .
The wreck was above water, and the
tides and current were swishing the
stern to and fro. Her hold was filled
with water and it ia feared that her car
go is a total loss.

PARTIAL VICTORY
. FOR SPAIN
General Cuban Debt, However, Must
Remain Where It is at Prese'nt
United States Will Pro Rate the
Debt Assumed Among the Munici
palities After the Cuban Govern
ment Shall Have Been Established
New York, Oct. .19. A dispatch to
the World from Washington says:
The statement was made to the in
debtedness of the Cuban municipalities
A
but will not agree to pay or guarantee
any portion of the general Cuban debt,
This statement was made to the World
correspondent by the.: highest authority
in Washington at thio time. There can
be no donbt as to its correctness.
By this recession from the original in
structions to the American commission,
the Spanish commission has won a vie
tory. The instructions to the American
commission were that they were not to
consider or discuss the question of the
Cuban or the Porto Rican debt. '
The debt of the municipalities of Cuba
will 6e assumed by the United States
and pro rated among the municipalities
when a permanent government is es
taoiisnea. in making thie concession
the Americans were actuated by a desire
to protect American interests. The
water vrorks, electric-lightening plants
and other municipal improvements were
largely constructed by American capital,
the bonus being guaranteed bv the
Spanish government.
State department officials say that the
assumption of the Cuban municipal
debt was contemplated from the outset
in the event of Spain making the plea
that the indebtedness was incurred in
improving the conditions of the island.
This view is indorsed by international
lawyers. As Spain did not derive any
benefit from the money expended in im
provements in Cuba and will not in the
future, jurists say it is only proper that
the United States assume the indebted
ness for municipal works. The contracts
already made for municipal improve
ments will also be honored by the
American government.
Paris, Oct. 19. At the request of the
Spanish commissioners the joint meet
ing of the peace commission fixed for to
day has been deferred to Friday.
