RAY ENTERS CITY
UNDER THREATS.
he Takes His Regiment Into
Manzanillo, Cuba, and a Fight
With the Spaniards On the
Spot is Narrowly Averted.
Manzanillo, Cuba. Oct 10.— Gen¬
eral Parron, the Spanish command¬
er, formerly turned over this city to
the American troops, commanded
by Colonel Ray, at noon today.
The Spanish soldiers withdrew
from the city last night and the
stars and stripes were raised over
the military buildings to day by of¬
ficers of Colonel Ray’s command.
The Spaniards were warned by
General Blanco to offer no resist¬
ance.
FIGHT NARROWLY AVERTED.
When Colonel Ray and his troops
arrived here Friday there came
near being a fight, and it was at
one time believed the Spanish-
American war would be resumed
on the spot. As a matter of fact
a fight was narrowly averted be¬
tween the Spanish garrison under
Colonel Parron and the l nited
States troops under Colonel Ray,
who had arrived Yiere from Santia¬
go to take possession of the city.
The arrival of the Americans had
taken the Spanish commander by
surprise, and he had represented to
Colonel Ray that he had received
word from General Blanco inform¬
ing him that the date for the Amer¬
ican occupation had been postponed
to Octobe 10. He requested Colo¬
nel Ray to cable for additional in¬
structions. The latter consented to
do so, and sent a dispatch to Gen¬
eral Lawton at Santiago.
Colonel Ray not having heard
from General Lawton to the con-
trary, at 7 o’clock on Friday morn¬
ing, sent word by Adjutant Collins
to Colonel Parron that, in ancord-
atice with his instructions, he should
march his men to the city from the
dock, a mile away, where the Uni¬
ted States transport Reina de los
Angelos had moved at the request
of Colonel Parron, and would take
possession of the public buildings
in the name of the United States.
The batallion was in motion at
o’clock, with colors flying.
nel Ray marched toward the city,
but before the troops reached the
city gate Adjutant Collins
with Colonel Parron s reply,
latter said he had no objection

surrendering the custom house at
once, provided the American flag
was not raised. Colonel Ray re-
torted that United States was not
accustomed to taking possession
without displaying the insignia of
its sovereignty.
The march was then continued
toward the city. When the troops
passed the guard at the gate, a body
of twenty-five - of the latter fined up
and saluted. The report soon spread
through the city that the Americans
had arrived with colors flying, and
the streets were soon thronged by
apparently the whole population—
men, women and children turning
out by thousands as the regiments
marched toward the principal
square, where it halted.
SPANISH CALL TO ARMS,
At this point a Spanish bugle
sounded the call to arms, and the
Spanish garrison turned out to the
number of 500 men on the other
side of the square.
Colonel Ray visited Colonel
Parron, at the palace, and a some¬
what stormy interview took place
between them, with the ’ aid
of an interpreter. The Spanish
commander said he had under¬
stood from Colonel Ray that
matters were to remain over
until October 10. and that he con¬
sidered himself tricked. Colonel
Ray explained that he had never
said anything of that sort, that his
instructions were to take possession
of the city on October 7, that he
had cabled for further instructions,
and, not having received any, that
he had proceeded to act upon his
orignal orders.
Thereupon Colonel Parron said
the American troops must be re¬
moved at once. Colonel Ray re-
fused. Colonel Parron declared he
would , , torce, -

ther hostilities with the United

self, but am unable to help you. If
the United States troops are fired

forget us when in need of one.
We are very anxious to reduce our
stock and will give you a bargain

places if you desire, but if you will
call to see us you will be convinced
at once that you can save money

want your trade and will get it if
you are looking to save money.
We will have plenty of customers
at the price we are selling at when
the trade catches on to our way of
doing business. Quick Sales and

We would not ask you to pass
by others with whom you have
been trading and buy of us if we
could not save you money. Now,
don’t think we have a lot of shoddy
stuff, dear at any price, because we
sell it cheap. It is as good and has
Colonel Parron said he would
immediately order the arrest of the
officer who allowed the American
troops to pass the city gate.
Colonel Ray retorted : “If he had
refused I should have been under
the unpleasant necessity of shoot¬
ing him, and of then forcing an en-
trance.
After considerable discussing and
many requests on the part of Colo-
nel Parron that Colonel Ray should
take his men out of the city until
General Blanco could be communi-
cated with, it was decided not to
take action until the cable office
had closed at 6 o’clock, Colonel
Ray asserting that if at that time no
further instructions had been receiv-
ed he would take action immediate¬
ly, before nightfall.
In the meantime the United
States troops were to be marched
up to the barracks which the Span¬
iards left, on departing from Cien-
fuegos. Colonel Ray consenting to
encase the colors out of deference to
Colonel Parron’s fear that the sight
of the American flag might excite
the Spanish element beyound re¬
straint and so provoke some overt
act leading to bloodshed.
SPANISH THREAT UNAVAILING.
On leaving the palace the two
colonies walked to the square,where
they arrived just in time to prevent
a collision between their forces. It
appears that some Spanish officer,
who had misunderstood an order
from Colonel Parron, had just noti-
fied the American troops that they
must leave immediately. Captain
Frost, in command during Colonel
Ray’s absence, refused to comply,
whereupon he was told that the
blood of his men would be upon
their own heads.
At this moment Colonel Ray
came up and Captain Frost report-
ed the occurrence. Colonel Parron
promptly ordered , , , his . overzealous
subordinate away.
Then began the march of a mile
to the barracks through the crowd-
ed streets, most of the on-lookers
being evidently pro-Spanish, judg-
ing from their scowling looks and
uncomplimentary remarks. The
march led around the square. As
the Americans passed the Spanish
garrison the latter presented arms.
The barrack were found in a healthy
locality and in good condition.
It was Colonel Ray’s firm inten-
tiQn to take action as soon as the
as much intrinsic value in it as any

cable closed, anp it was evident
that the soldiers on both sides
quite ready to try conclusions, the
Spanish officers especially not tak¬
ing at all kindly to evacuation.
But some time before the cable
closed Colonel Ray received a dis¬
patch from General Wade explain-
ing that the commander of the
Spanish troops at Manzanillo had
requested a delay until October 10,
and that the formal evacuation was,
therefore, postponed.
SETTLERS ASKING
FOR PROTECTION
Clash Between Federal and State
Authorities Causes Friction in

Front.
Minneapolis, Minn., October 10.
—A special to The Journal from
Cass Lake says that armed bucks
are undoubtedly proceeding south.
Calls were received from Bemidji
this for troops,but none were sent,as
was considered the more crucical
point. There is considerable appre¬
hension and an undoubted necessity
for troops to ally the panic in the
small towns along this line.
A rumor this morning that the
Indians were coming caused a stam¬
pede at Bemidji. The people were
greatly excited, and massed at the
courthouse. The soldiers were tele-
graphed for.
The following telegram has just
been received from Superintendent
E. Banchard, of the Northern Pa-
cific, at Parker, Minn. :
“Woman just in at McGregor
from Portage Lake,four miles west
of here, reports two dozen Indians
in war paint drove her from her
home. She thinks her husband and
fat on ly e troubl k e 1 reported ‘along ouflfne*!
Will you notify proper state author-
ities? I will take a deputy and a
dozen men with guns from Carle-
ton ”
and authorities , . .
The federal state
are not working in harmony to¬
ward the quelling of the Indian re¬
volt. General Bacon offered to
come down to Walker this evening
to confer with Governor # Clough,but
the latter .advised conference by
wire. He received the following
message from General Bacon :
“Situation bad: conference yes-
terday resulted in nothing. None
of th; Indian chiefs were there.
The lumbermen are all coming into
Walker. Troops needed at Cass
Lake.”

Nevertheless, the governor be-
lieves that the situation is well in
hand and that the recalcitrants are
practically surrounded by soldiers.
The construction crews on the
northwestern extension of the
Brainard and Northen to Bemidji
and northward to Cass Lake have
joined the refugees at Walker, and
it may be necessary to send them
back to work under guard,
as these two extensions, in the
event of a prolongation of the
trouble, would be of great strateget-
ic value.
The troops may yet be placed at
three more points in addition to the
present forces at Fosseton fine
points; these are where the fine
crosfes the Mississippi, the Indian
portage train three miles west of
Ball Club Lake. With these ave¬
nues ol escape cut off, it would be
practically impossible for the hos-
tiles to escape northward.
From Park River the governor
has received a personal statement
signed by Chief Ned-Gay-Bug-
Enanoway-Rusko :
“Point Pine, October 9.—We,
the Chippewa Indians at Pine
Point, beg to state to the public
that we are perfectly friendly to the
whites and have no ill feeling or
are in any way hostile. We haye
decided at council not to take
any part whatever in the Leech
Lake trouble.”

idea of its character, is beyond ques¬
tion one of the most comprehensive
and at the same time artistic pub¬
lications ever issued from the press.
It contains nearly two hundred
octave pages, over four hundred
exquisitely printed illustrations,
and makes a presentation of South-
ern interests in all fines of human
activity, which for thoroughness of
treatment has never been approach¬
ed.
The opening chapter of the book
under the caption of “The South,
Yesterday,To-day and Tomorrow,”
discusses in a broad and forcible
manner the present and future of
the Southern States, treating at
considerable length the various in¬
terests, such as agriculture, cotton,
tobacco, iron, coal, resorts, climate,
etc. Following this are chapters
devoted to each of the States south
of the Ohio and Potomac, and east
of the Mississippi rivers.
These give a brief, interesting
sketch of the early history of each
State, and then touch upon all its
important activities, showing the
progress being made not only by
the State itself, but by the leading
cities.
The author of the work, Mr.
Frank Presby, is a close student of
Southern progress, and in the col¬
