Washington, City, Jan. 10, 1922.
Centlemen-I inclose you the report
OF the Secretary of the Treasury, to the
House Of Representatives showing the
amount of the nett proceeds arising
from the sale of the public lands in In
diana, Illinois and Missouri, since the
several periods therein mentioned. The
returns from Illinois, you will perceive,
have been received down TO the 3lst Of
March last only. The amount to that
period, is Sl9s,527 40. Three per cent.
of this amount is devoted to the en-
enlargement of learning within the
state, which is S5,955 824. From the 3lst
of March last, until the 3lst ofthe same
month in 1925 an amount equal to-the
above will probably be realized, making
at that period, Sll,9ll IS. 1t will not
be possible before the period last men
toned, TO appropriate this fund, aNthe
legislature will first have to act upon
the subject. To so small population
as ours, ifjudiciously applied, it must be
apparent that even this sum may be made
highly useful--and as the land fund, will
hereafter be amply sufficient to support
all necessary literary Institutions, think
the money fund should be applied as soon
as practicable, to the purpose for which it
was granted.
In this, however, / speak but the SEN
tinrent OF single citizen Of the state. 1t
is for the people, through their repre-
sentatives in the legislature, 10 give such
directions TO this subjec, as they may
think proper.
The whole nett amount, arising from
the sales in the three states, you will
perceive is, down to the periods stated,
Sl,686,oo8 so. Two per cent. Of this
amount is by compact with each state,
to be applied to the making ofroads lead.

amounted, at the periods alluded to, to

add S6,2so, the probable increase, on
the lst of June next, we shall have S4o,.

to be the favorite object Of those three
states--the extension ofthe national road
from Wheeling to the Mississippi-and

able purpose in making turnpike, yet

Tayanna papers of late date have
been received in this city by gentleman
in Congress, the contents OF which are
quite interesting.
Among the official papers, is q de-
clara,ion of independence oil the people
of the Spanish part Of San Domingo.
This act begins thus: d" No more depeE-
dence, no more humiliation, no mote
submission to the caprices ofthe cabinet
rof Madrid" After the usual protesta-
tons and oaths, they enter INTO Il long list
-of grievances, and declare that spupi!-
age of sea years, an imbccile loyalty to
the king Of Spain, aperiect abnega,ion OF
self, living, moving, thinking, and act
ing only for Spain, was long enough.
They complain of the cessionto France,
their abandonment and sufierings during
the war with that republic, os,he ingraiI-
,ude of the mother country towards the
native heroes who reconquered several
strong places during that period, the
general devastation and misery brought
upoa them by the total neglect OF the
metropolis, the preference given to Eu-
ropeans for high Offices and sinccurcs,
expensive military establishments sup
ported out Of the exhausted revenues OF
the Province. They say, that it an un-
in, , uptcd series o. abuses, yexa:ions,
injustice, and neglect, were wanting as
a motive for this salutary change, no
part OF America could exhibit a picture
