WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 7.-Reports
received by the officials of the
war and Interior departments from the
Ijndlan outbreak are of a reassuring
character to-night, and they now' feel

of affairs In the department of which he
Is in command, will remain at Walker
for the present and this, It la hoped,will
have a quieting effect on the cltixena of
the surrounding country who have felt
that they were In danger from the redskins.
Steps will be taken to have an
investigation made with a view to fixing
the responsibility among the Indians
for their stand against the government.

wad no basis for the report that two
troops of cavalry on their way to
Huntsvllle, Ala., from North Dakota,
had been ordered to Walker, General

Walker, Minn., Oct. 7.-K. C. Beat"n,
one of the throe newspaper men
marooned with General Bacon's troop*
on Sugar Point, wires the Minneapolis
Tribune a long account of the bat.le.
Aft< r describing the landing he says:
i ther* was no Indication of trouble,
1'rlil, Knappf and myself made up our
tnlnrif t1 back to Walker on the boat
to be (rent by General Bacon for the
I tents and rations for another df?y. Vfc
I w??re down at the landing waiting foi
I the rowboat* to take us to the Steamer
when a shot ?u beard. Immediately
we ran back to the rest on the bill when
a volley came from the woods to tbe
front of us. The soldier* were Ju?t
about to be dismissed, and for a moment
I wa? at a lata to understand the sUmlflcance
of, the firing:. A second later another
volley came and tbe bullets whistled
paat my bead.
"Run to cover." some one cried, and as'
the soldiers grabbed their runs and ran
to the left I hurried down to the beach
where I was soon safely boused behind
bis boulders and brush. Aa I ran down,
however, more bullets chased me and It
was a wonder that myself and those
I with <ne were not killed.
"Steady men, steady!" was the first
sound ok a voice we neuru tutu u a
raited my head I could tee General Bacon
running about with hit troop*
"Get up in the firing line," was the
next order given, and the men of the
fighting Third were seen to run through
the grass and woods in the direction
from which the shots had been fired.
Another peep above the stone behind
which I lay, and a peep at a great
chance of death, and I saw Major WiK
klnson and Lieutenant Ross calling to
their men to advance. All the time the
shots were fast and furious and the bullets
flew a few Inches above our heads
as we lay on the beach.
Reck.em IlmVery of OJHevra*
The men continued to advance. The
three officers were everywhere. Major
Wilkinson In charge of the left flank,
General Bacon in charge of the center
and Lieutenant Ross in charge of die
right flank. The. soldiers were running
along, it appeared to me, on their hands
and knees, dropping every moment to
flre a volley: to the ranks of ttie enemy.
The officers, however, stood in the open.
They were brave almost to recklessness
and seemed only to consider the safety
of their men for they advised them what
to do in tones that could be heard all
over the point.
"? was a
leas roar and every Utile while ive coulil
hear the crlea of the men who had been
hot. I looked once and saw that Major
Wilkinson had teen injured, but where
I did not know. I heard him cry: "Rosa,
I've been wounded, but don't give up,
tor lt'a not bad."
The next moment, as he stood right
back of his tiring line calling at the
men: "Give It to them, boys, I've got
them going; give It to them; they an
cowards, and they're going to run," he
seemed to stagger and Surgeon Ross
ran towards him.
"Give them h , general, give them
h he called at the top of his voice
over toward the central flank, wftere
General Bacon was taking aim at a red
man. Then he {ell Into the arms ot.the
doctor, who carried him into the log'
cabin at the crest ot the hill, where he
died In an hour and thirty minutes later.
There were two wounds In his stomach
and an artery had been cut and he bled
to death despite the efforts of the surgeon
to save him. Hla was the death of
a soldier, and such a death as he ez
a ? I ._ t.ofrtrj. ha
presscu VU 1UC a ?cn iiiiuutco ?v>m? ...
desired to experience, for the major and
myself had walked back fronf the scouting
tour together.
Col. Shaahnn'i Brtra Stand.
Suddenly, to our right we heard the
voice of Colonel Sheefian, of St. Paul,
deputy Uiflted Slates marshal. We
glanced up ari*d could see the veteran
Indian fighter leading an advance by a
portion of the right flank.
"You've got them whipped boys;
you've got them whipped. Give it to
them; give it to them," the colonel yelling
at the top of hL<i voice.
Every time his voice was heard a volley
rang out, and every time it was further
away from us. Afterwards we
learned thftt we had tne coionei to inanK
for our lives. Some Indians had attempted
to turn our right flank and attack
the civilian* on the beach. The
colonel saw us and realized our danger
and his gallant attack had undoubtedly
saved our lives. As It was bullets flew
about our heads and the stumps, weeds
and stones about us were peppered for
several yards.
When we reallted the position In
which the colonel w*? in we called to
him to get under cover, but he paid no
attention to us. He stayed with the
men until he had accomplished his purpose
and when we had about made up
our minds that he was dead, wo were
startled by a move in ine weeua uuuve
us.
"I've been wounded, "boys. I've been
wounded," was Che remark we heard aa
the weed* parted and the gallant colonel
fell to the ground before u?. We did not
know how badly he was hurt, but saw
two hole* In his coat sleeve.
"That's not It," he aald, aa we turned
back his sleeve. "It's my stomach; litok
at tfiat"
We did so. We tore open hto clothes
and found only a small wound, but the
blood was trickling down. The old man
was not frightened by any means.

WASHINGTON, Oct 7. ? President
McKlnlty has cabled Die United States
mUltanr commission at Porto Rico that
the laland must be' evacuated by the
Spanish forces on or before October 18,
and that the Spanish commissioners be
so Informed. In case of the failure of
the Spaniards to complete the evacuation
by tbat date the United States commissioners
are directed to take possesion
of and exercise all of the functions
of government, and in case It is found
to be Impossible to'aecure transportation
tor the Spanish troops by October 18,
they may he permitted to go Into temporary
quarters until transports can be
secured to take them to Spain. This
fact was developed at to-day's cabinet
meetlnr, and It was also stated that
rrom tnis lime rorwaru a uiuic vibuiuud
policy would be pursued with respect to
the evacuation of Cuba.
Mast Oct Out of r?L* .
The President has notified the United
States evacuation commission at Havana
that the Spaniards would be expected
to have evacuated the Island by December
1, with a strong Intimation that
In case of failure the United States
would brook no further- delay, but Immediately
thereafter take possession of
the government.
At to-day's cabinet meeting two telegrams
were read from Qen. Oti* at Manila,
stating that the Spanish government
had requested that Gen. Jardenes
be permitted to return to Spain, where,
it Is understood, he will be called before
a court of Inquiry to answer certain
Charges affecting l)!s management of affairs
in connection with the surrender of
Manila.
Gen. Otis was autnorizea to permu
the Spanish general to leave, together
with several other Spanish officers who
.argon.ihe sicltlltL ,Tn answer to lnquirles,
it was stated that nothing go far
had been received from the United
States commissioner* that was in any
way significant, or that indicated that
the peaoe negotiations were not progressing
satisfactorily.
"The dispatches so far received by thf
government," It .was said, "have been
absolutely colorless, so far as indicating
what the results of the negotiations are
likely to be."
A t'nlm From Deirejr.
Admiral Dewey has cabled the navy
department mac ne nas oeun auvioru
that a number of Spanish troops have
arrived at Singapore, bound for the
Philippines, t? reinforce the Spanish
garrison at Hollo, on the Island of Panay.
At this place is concentrated
about all that remains of the Spanish
army of occupation of the Philippines
outside of the few troops on the island
of Luzon. In despatching troops from
Spain to the islands, the Spanish government
has raised the direct question
a? to the right to reinforce troops now
engaged in active hostilities with the
insurgent forces. The weight of opinion
here is that the action is permissable
and does not constitute a breach of
the terms of the protocol suspending
hostilities. A good deal, however, may
depend on whether the Spaniards confine
themselves to a defensive position
or undertaking to carry on an offensive
war against the insurgents. The cabinet

LEE ORDERED TO HAVANA,
D? will Nor* hl? Command to hrannnh,
Georgia, auil ant II In Iteadlueoi to Kmbark
br the on it of the Month,
WASHINGTON,Oct. 7.-General Fitihugh
Lee received tin order from the war
department to-day directing blm to
move his command from Jacksonville,
Fla., to Savannah, (Ja., and get It In
readlnees to embark for Havana by the
last of the month. General Lee leaves
to-night for Savannah to make preliminary
arrangements to carry his orders
Into effect.
The war department has completed its
plans for the departure of the second expedition
of troops to garrison Cuba. The
first division id already under orders
and should be started within a very few
days from the southern |H?rt# near uieir
bamptng grounds. Th?? first dlviilon
starts under command of Brigadier
General L. if. Carpenter, U. 8. V., who
commands the cuvalry brigade cumputted
of the Seventh and ISIghth United
State.* cavalry, lie will hold his command
of the entire division simply by
reason of seniority over Brigadier General
Snyder and llrigadler General WilHston,
and In the end a permanent designation
must he made of a division
commander. It li? the Intention of tho
war department that Major General
Wade now president of the military
evacuation commission shnll command
the entire force of United States troops
assigned <o duty In Cuba, but he will
scarcely take active command until he
has completed his duties with the commission.
The second division will comprise all
tho troops now under tho command of
Major General Fltshugh I*e. These
troops are stationed at Jacksonville and
the f.SjrCu compiles the following regiments-all
volunteer troops; Tho Sec
Olid, Fourth and Ninth Illinois Infantry;
One Hundred and Sixty-tint Indiana
Infantry; Second Louisiana Infantry;
Sixth Missouri Infantry: Third Nebraska
Infantry (Bryan'a regiment); First
North Carolina Infantry; Second South
Carolina Infantry; First Texas Infantry;
Fourth Virginia Infantry and the Second
United States volunteer cavalry.
The general orders which will be Issued
to thin division are to begin the
movement the last of tills month, or as
soon thereafter as practicable. The Indication*
are based on the proceedings
of the military commission at Havana
that the troops trill be sent not In a
body but In small regimental and brigade
commands and that they will be
landed first on the western coast and
perhaps on part of the south, probably
at Batabano. The animating purpose Is
tn reduce the chances of hostile slashing
between the retiring Spanish troops and
'*-he Incoming American forces by keepins
back the latter until the Spaniards
have been deported.
About the time the movement of the
Lee command begins, another movement
will take place of troops now In
the middle states towards the southern
<ump> which have been (elected by the
Schwan board, lying In Georgia, South
Carolina and Alabama. This will result
In the abandonment of the camps at
Mlddletown, Pa., Lexington, Ky? and
Knoxvllle. The southern oampi are to
be laid out In the beat form with all the
Improvement that the experience of the
last summer has dictated. Wherever
permanent buildings will conduce to the
comfort and health of the troops they
are to be erected although the commanding
officers are to keep In mind at
all times the propriety of avoiding enervation
of the men by keeping them tiio
closely indoors and away from camp
life.

The commlulonera, at to-day'a eerslon,

there la no aettled order in which they
are to be considered. Propositions have
teen exchanged in writing between the

them. 8enor ojeaa, tne iicrnv;

Moore and Senor OJeda have decided
upon a plan for keeping the records
of the conference. There are no stenographic
minutes of the meetings. The
secretaries each record the proceedings
and the result.
If for no other reason than the fact
that the Philippine Islands were not
mentioned first 'In the protocol. It mar
he said with assurance that the commissions
joint sessions have not ret
touched upon the question of the Philippine
Island*.
A Strained Criticism.
La Ltberte this evening referring to
the Indian outbreak In Minnesota, contrasts
editorially, the federal treatment
of the red-skins and (he Spanish treatmen
of the natives of the Philippine island,
expressing the conviction that
anr contrast must prove unfavorable to
the federal authorities.
The American commissioners held a
session this morning and were occupied
With Washington correspondence.

to the alternative or contingent
attitudes or propositions of the Bpanlards
this afternoon.
Thus far tH? form" of ftititance of the
American presentment has not been
disclosed. It was Its presentation at
Monday's Joint session which caused
the Spaniards to ask for or demand a
recess from Monday until Friday.
Whatever was new or stronger will possibly
develop from the American side
as having resulted from the conferences
with Major General Menitt since Monday's
joint session. If the Americans
were then sweeping In their demands
with regard to the Philippine islands
they have certainly have not been weakened
by the statements of General
Mcrrltt.
. However, It Is possible that the SpaniafdSLWlll
enter the session to-day fully
appreciating their position as the vannulahed.
although they will strenuously
urge the existence of rights and equities
remaining to the vanquished.
BaHMttwial Jt?w* Afloat.
On this subject the Gaulols says that
during tbe last twenty-four hours sensational
And alarming news has been
afloat regarding the negotiations. It
cites the English papers alienations
that Judge Day has cabled to Washington
saying that the negotiations for a
treaty of peace are on the verge of
stopping, owing to the refusal of Madrid
to accept the United States' attitude
regarding the Philippine Islands.
TheGaulolsalsoquoted a statement to
the effect that Judge Day has been authorised
to suspend negotiations if the
Spaniards do not conform to tbe American
views and declares it can afflrm
that this news Is absolutely Incorrect
It declares,' however, that whereas the
"10 mifflef Wnr* nfatnmtC.
thoy are now disposed to modify their
Intentions, owing to the firmness of the
attitude of the United States, the people
of which It Is claimed have now
been excited to the point of Insisting
upon holding the Philippine islands.
The utterances of Attorney General
Griggs, before the Republican convention
at Trenton, N. J., last week, are
cited as showing that the United States
purpose Is expansion. Spain Is alleged
to be beginning to realize this, and, It
Is aald, she will finally agree to give up
Manila and the Island of Luson, on
condition that the United States assumes
the Philippine debt, amounting
to <40,000,000, and accord privileges to
Spanish trade,
hi conclusion the Gaulols says: "We
think we are authorised to say that
President McKlnley will agree to a settlement
on this basis."

"I found her possessed with the idea of
taking her own life. With her In such
a state of mind, I pursued'the only
course that would prevent her dolnu
so. 6he threatened to end It' If I left
her or tried to Inform anron* about
her. All my efforts to get bar to return
home with me or to take her to her relatives
were of no avail. And It wpa not
until the second morning that X fould
Induce her toi promise to return to her
relatives. She then said, ] *7 Have. come j
nnf nf mv unell of insanity; and see
clearly what I ought to be, and. <vlll
take the beat of care of mjraelt"
"She also expressed her .gratitude to
me, saying, "Mr. White, yon have been
ao kind and good to me." The two
nights I was nlth her, I watched her
and cared for her like a brother. JirvInK
the utmost confidence In her pure and
virtuous character. And had I not a
clear conscience In this regard, I never
could have lived through (he terrible
ordeal which has come upon me. Of
course there is room to cavil tor those
who would like to doubt, bat God knows
this Is the truth."

the last seen ot him by his trleads.
The Atlhouse home was dark and
locked and the neighbors said Mrs. Althouse
had not been at home for the
past three days. One or the neighbors
said a woman supposed to have done
the shooting, had passed back ot the
house. Mrs. George took her supper as
usual at a down-town restaurant at
4:45, and some time later was on a
west-bound car, and according to the
motorman's story, got off at Bazlett
avenue, near the Althouse home. About
9 o'clock she was arrested by the police
and locked up. Trouble In locating her
was due principally to the fact that she
moved from her old home yesterday.
