All troops except, sou men of the coast artillery, are to be brought, to the United States as rapidly as transportation facilities will permit) be ' Cuba, to terminate the occupancy of k the island by the United States and to withdraw from the island the military forces now in occupancy thereof: but . for the preservation and care of the coast defenses of the island and to avoid leaving the island entirey defenseless against external attack, you may leave in the coast fortifications such small number of artillerymen as may be necessary for such reasonable time, as may be required to enable the government to organize and substitute therefor an adequate military forceof its own; by which time it is / anticipated that the new naval sta^ i tions referred to In tin' statute and in the appendix to the constitution above cited, will have been agreed upon and the sJRrt artillerymen may be t ransferr/V ~ there to. ^HHuMbfllj^V"V(iu the elected by the people of Cuba session at such reasonable time before the 20th of May as shall be necessary therefor for the purpose of performing the duties of counting and rectifying the electoral vote for president and vice president under the 58th article ?of the Cuban constitution. At the same time you will publish and certify to the people of Cuba the instrument adopted as the constitution of Cuba by the constitut ional convention on the Jldayof February, 1901 together with the appendix added thereto, and forming a part thereof, adopted by the said convention on the 12th day of June, 1901.

This method will make it necessary that the new president and your self should appoint representatives to coi/nt and certify the cash and cash balances and the securities for deposits, transferred to the new government. The consent of the owner of the securities for deposits to the transfer thereof you will of course obtain. "The vouchers and accounts in the office of the auditor and elsewhere relating to flic: receipt and disbursement of moneys during the government of occupation must necessarily remain within the control, and available for the use of this department.

The management of the Charleston exposition and the railway lines inter- j ested Intend that the people of the I States shall have no excuse as far as j clicap rates arc concerned for not visiting South Carolina's great exposition. To Col. Jno. ii. Avcrill is due much of the credit of organatlng the project of tlie exposition and carrying it through to the present time, and he is now using every effort to place it within the reach of the people of South Carolina to sec for themselves what the exposition really is.

Wallace, a negro sleeping ear porter, was lynched at * o'clock Wednesday night In a corner of t he court house square, being handed to an electric light pole by a howling mob of 4.000 persons who had been hunting him all day. After the hanging the body of the negro was riddled with bullets. Mrs. Henrietta 11. Miller, a grey haired woman aged 67, going from Los Angeles, Col., to Denver, to visit relatives, was brutally assailed in the Santa Fc railroad yards here Tuesday night by a negro porter on a Pullman ear running between Denver and La Junta. After leaving the Chicago limited train here Mrs. Miller asked a porter whom site met on the station platform where the Den*', r sleeper wa .. The man olTered to conduet her to the ear. After going with him a considerable distance Mrs. Miller became suspicious and started to return to the station. She was then knocked down by n blow on the head and after a struggle witn her assailant was choked into insensibility. When she regained consciousness about an hour later, she crawled hack to the station and gave an account of t lie assault and a description of her assailant. Washington II. Wallace, a Pullman car porter was arrested in the car of which he had charge. He was identified by Mrs. Miller. P.loodhouuds were brought from Canyon City and the\ trailed the man who aec mpanied Mrs. Miller through the , yards to the ear in which Wallace was i found.

I' v (1 By Careful Thrashlu ?'ou ay Al- ' ways Tell the \'ali< ofti. ,n. ji I] From a process familiar to the <| farmer Dr. Ta image draws lessons of Ij consolation and encouragement, for v people in sorrow and adversity. The ^ text is Isaiah xxviii, 27, 2S: "For the iitehes are not thrashed witli a tlirasli- k ing instrument. neither is a cart f wheel turned about upon the cummin, a hut the Iitehes are I tea ten out with a t stall'and the cummin with a rod. f 1 tread corn is hruised heeause he will s not ever Ik* thrashing it." a Misfortunes of various kinds come S upon various people, and in all times v the great need of ninety-nine people \ rait of a hundred is solaee. Look, then, ji to this neglected allegory of my text, a There are three kinds of seed men- i: tinned -Iitehes, cummin and rnrn. of ( the last we all know. I tut it may he t well to stale that the Iitehes and the u cummin were small seeds, like the ear- g awav or the chickpea. When these g grains or herbs were to he thrashed, a they wer?' thrown on I lie Hoar, and the n workmen would come around with " statf or rod or Hail and heat them tin- c til the seed wonld l?e separated, hut s when the corn wnsto lie thrashed that h was thrown on the tloor, and the men si would fasten horses or oxen to a carl w with iron dented wheels: that cart t would be drawn around the thrashing o tloor, and so the work would he ae- t eompllshcd. Different kinds of thrush- t ing f >r (lifTercnt products. "The Iitehes p are not thrashed with a thrashing instrument. neither is a eart. wheel turn- i? cd ahoul upon the euinmin. hut tlie ii iitehes arc beaten out with a statf and " tlie cummin with a rod. Itrcad corn is n bruised because he will not ever be <; thrashing it.*' '1 The great thought that the text si presses upon our.souls is that we all go t through some kind of thrashing pro- h cess. The fact that you may be de- fi voting your life to honorable and no- t hie purposes will not win you any p escape. Wilbcrforce, the Christian h emancipator, was in ins day derisively w called "Doctor t'antwell." Thomas < Mnhlngtou Macaulay, the advocate of o all that was good. long before he lie- b came tlie most conspicuous historian '1 of his day was caricatured in one of the f? quarterly reviews as "iiabblctonguc r Macaulay.*' Norman McLcod, tlie o groat friend of tin- Scotch poor, was 1< inrlngt rinttclr ??i ? 1 i imml in ?!! -. ?.?? ? -x .mm n i n'u... . hi an n i.^i o although on the day when lie was car- n ried out to his burial a workman stood > and looked at t lie funeral procession p and said, "If he had done nothing for e anybody more than he has done for li me, he would shine as the stars for- a ever and ever."' All the small wits of t! London had their tling at John Wesley, o the father of Methodism. If such o men could not escape the maligning o of the world, neither can you expect si to get rid of the sharp, keen stroke of the trihulum. All who will live godly t| in Christ Jesus must sulfer pcrsecu- t| tion. besides that, there are the sick- u nesses and the bankruptcies and the ,, disappointments which are ever put- () ting a cup of aloes to your lip. Those , | wrinkles on your fsce arc hieroglyphics [> which, if deciphered, would make out |, a thrilling story of trouble. The foot- t) step of the rabbit is seen the next j0 morning on the snow, and on the white t; hairs of the aged are the footprints showing where swift t rouble alighted. . ! liven amid the joys and hilarities of n" life trouble will sometimes break in. J.j when tire people were assembled in ti e C'harlestown theater during the ()| Revolutionary war. and while they ((1 were witnessing a farce and the audi-1 ence was in great gratulation t he guns L of an advancing army were heard and ! NV the audience broke up in wild panic | |( and ran for their lives, so oftentimes while you are seated amid the Joys and ' festivities of this world you hear the;!' cannonade of some great disaster. All j1 the titehes and the cummin and the corn must come down on the thrashing '' noor and be pounded. My subject. in the tirst place, teaches us that it is no compliment to us if we escape great trial. The (itches and the ' J cummin on one thrashing lloor might look over to t he corn on another thrash- !>l ing lloor and say: "Look at that poor, " miserable, buruiscd corn! We have u only been a little pounded, but that u lias been almost destroyed." Well, the ' corn, if it had lips, would answer and ; say : "Do you know the reason you i have not been as much pounded as 1 '! nave? It is because you are not of so * much worth as 1 am. If you were.: " .1.1 1... .... .... 1 .. ... .. ' S< > wu vxnim i?i_- ?ir?

It may Ik- because they in- fitches and cummin, while down 'a it. the end of tile lane the poor widow i " may be the Lord's corn, Vou are but ai little pounded because you are little worth and she bruised and ground I?c- 1 '* sause she is the best part of the liarvest. The heft of the thrashing ma- j ? bine is according to t he value of the grain. If you liave not lieen much i . Ihrashed in life perhaps there is not j" much to thrash! If you have not been 11 much shaken of t rouble, perhaps it. is r< liecause there Is going to lie a very! small yield. When there are plenty of o| blackberries, the gatherers go out with tl large baskets, but, when the drought ti has almost consumed tlie fruit, then a d< piart measure will do as well. It took ri I lie venomous snake on Paul's hand.

Itjai was riot liecause Robert MolTat and la Lady Rachel Russell and Frederick Oiierlin were worse tlian other people ol Liiat tliey bad to sutler, it, was tie- tl i:ause they were better and Clod want- y< [ d to make them best. Ity the care- ct fulness of the thrashing you may tl i m rr> < Iv. uys conclude the value of the fcialu. Next, toy text teaches us tliut God roportlons our trials to what we can iur the stuff for the litches, the r?il >r tho cutnmlu. the Iron wheel for i le corn Sometimes people in ^reut | luuuiv :.ij, v?n, i can i near n; ut you did bear it. God would not i ve sent it upon you if he had not ! nown that you could bear it. You, rumbled and you swooned, but you at through. God will not take from \ our eyes one tear too many nor from I our lungs one sigh too deep nor from our temples one tlirob too sharp, 'he perplexities of your earthly busiess have not in them one tangle too itricato. You sometimes feel as if ur world were full of bludgeons Hying aphazard. oh. no; they are tbrasliig instruments that God jast suits o your case. There is not a dollar of ad debts on your ledger or a dlsupointmcut about goods that you evented to go up, but that have gone own, or a swindle of your business artner or a trick on the part of those rho are in the same kind of mcrchnuise that you are. but God intended o overrule for your immortal help. 'Oh." you say, "there is no need talkng that way to me. 1 don't like 'o c cheated and outraged." Neither iocs the corn like the corn thrasher, nit after it has been thrashed and vinnowed il lias a great deal hctt ;r pinion of winnowing mills and corn h rashers. Again, my subject teaches that God eeps trial on us until we let go. The armor shouts "Whoa!" to his horses s soon as the grain is dropped from he stalk. The farmercomes wil It his ork and tosses up the straw, and he ccs t hat the st raw bus let go t he grain nd the grain is thoroughly thrashed, io God. Smiting rod and turning rheel both cease as soon as we let go. Ve hold on to litis world, wil h its i ileasures and riches and emoluments, nd our knuckles are so tirmly set t hat ! seems as if we could hold on forever, lod comes along with some thrashing rouble and beats us loose. We started aider the delusion that this was a reat world. We learned out of our cography that it was so many thousnd miles in diameter and so many tiles in circumference, and we said. Oil. my, what a world!" Trouble ante In after life, and this trouble lieed oflf one part of the world, and it as got to be a smaller world and in >inc estimations a very hi significant rorld, and it is clepreciatitl^all the ime as a spiritual property. Ten per L-nt oIT, "?0 per cent otT. and there are hose who would not give 10 cents for his world?the entire world as a soul j ossession. Another thing my text teaches us > that Gbarlstlan sorrow is going to a ve a sure terminus. My text says, I tread corn is bruised because he will ot ever be thrashing it." blessed be lod for that! Pound away, C) ilail! urn on, O wheel! Your work will ion Ik> done. "He will not ever lie brushing it!" Now. the Christian as almost as much use in the organ >r the stop tremulant as he has for lie trumpet, hut after awhile he will lit the last dirge Into t lie port folio irever. So much of us as is wheat rill be separated from so much as is hall, and there will he 110 inim need f pounding. They ncvercry in heaven ecause they have nothing to cry about "here are no tears of bereavement, >r you shall have your friends all ound about you. There are no tears f poverty because each one sit> at the ling's table and has his own chariot t sal vat ion and free access Lot nc-wmf.lie where princes get tlieir array, lo tears of sickness, for there are no ncumonias in the air and no malarial xhalations from the rolling river of fe and no crutch for the lame limb nd no splint for the broken arm, hut lie pulses throbbing wit h the health f the eternal Hod in a climate like ur .1 line before the blossoms fall or ur gorgeous ()etober before the leaves fitter. In that land the souls will talk over lie dilTerent modes of thrashing. Oh, lie story of the stall' that stuck the tches and tlie r?>d that heat the cumlln and the iron wheel that went vcr the corn! I >anicl will describe lie lions and Jonah leviathan and aul tlie elmwood whips with which e was scourged, and live will tell aw aromatic Eden was the day she ft it. and John Kegels will tell of ic smart of the dailies and Klijali of it; tlery team that wheeled him up ie sky steeps and Christ of the numb-: ess and the paroxysms and hemor rages of the awful erucitixion.

"Now, it will soon feel lietter."' : nd that is what Kod says when he nbosomsall our trouble in the hush j f this great promise, "Weeping may idure for a night, hut joy cometh in ie morning."

Then the gates of heaven will be pened, and the entranced soul, with ic acutents* and power of thecdesal vision, will look thousands of miles own upon tlie bannered procession, a ver of shimmering splendor, and will ry out, "Who are they?" And the ngel tif (lod, standing close by, will iv, "Do you not know who they are?" No." says the entranced soul, "I innot guess who they are." The tigel will say: "I will tell you, then, ho they are. These are they who ime out of great tribulation, or irushing, and had their robes washed tid made white in the blood of the m ib."

Is Sword strokes on the wall near the t lloor, showing that the poor things ( had crouched when they died, and they saw also that the lloor was ankle deep in blood. The soldiers walked on their heels across it, lest their shoes c be submerged of the carnage. And on that lloor of blood there were Mowing locks of hair and fragments of dresses. <>ut in Luck now they had heard of ' the massacre, and t lie women were 1 waiting for I lie same awful death, .. waiting amid anguish untold, waiting in pain ami starvation, but waiting he- ' roically, when, one day, llavelockand n Out nun and Norman and Sir David v Laird and I'cel. tlie lieroes of the Kng- c lish army liu/./.a tor them!?broke in o Ion the horrid scene, and while yet the d | guns were sounding, and while cheers I t I were issuing from the starving, dying v people on tlie one side and from tlie <1 ' travel worn and powder blackened sol- n diers on the other, right there, in t | front of the king's palace, there was s such a scene of handshaking and em- S bracing and boisterous joy as would s utterly confound the pen of the poet v and the pencil of the painter.
