SECRETARY RAMSEY.
Interviewed on the Indian Question
and Found o. K.

Washington, Dec. 12- Gov. Ramsey,
the new secretary of war, took charge
of his department to-day, and quickly
made pleasant impression upon all
who were brought into contact with
him. He is ,portly, good natured, with
keen eyes and gray hair, and gold
trimmed spectacles. He has leased the
fine mansion formerly occupied by
Postmaster-Ge eneral Creswell and his
family, and will take possession of it
tomorrow.
The evening Star reports that one of
its staff, who called on him to-day, re-
marked that in the east the new secre-
tary was generally understood to be
''down on the Indians Secretary
Ramsey is reported to have replied that
his section was by no means hostile to
the Indians, or disposed to act with
malignant feelings towards them.
They had suffered great deal by In
dians, and it was true that they might
regard the red men in somewhat diff
ferent light than the people of the east
do. They don't think it possible to
make white man of the Indian, and
while treating him fairly, they held
that he should also be dealt with
firmly

suIrwRECKED SAILORS
Suspected of Numbering the Crew of
Schooner.

Baltimore, Dec. 12.-Abraham An
meta, West India negro, and Francis
Adams, a Manila man (sailors), were
arrested this afternoon by deputy
United States marshal on warrant is
sued by United States commissioner
on charge of murder on the high seas
and destroying the schooner NJ. E. Hen
derson, of Philadelphia, bound for Balti-
more from Bull river. The vessel went
ashore, November 30, near Kittyhawk,
and went to pieces. Anneta and Ad-
ans, and another sailor not yet arrest
ed, were the only ones who escaped
from the wreck, and as soon as they
reached shore they started off without
waiting for aid. The bodies of none of
the officers have been found, which led
to the theory that they had been proba-
bly, foully dealt with by Anneta, Ad-
ans and the other survivor, who then
beeched the vessel in order to conceal
the crime.

spanish Omcers nesigning.

London, Dec. IA dispatch from
Madrid says that several generals Of the
army, high in command in Spain and
Cuba, such as Captain General Blanco,
and Generals Prendergast and Cussola,
rendered their designations as soon as
they heard of the fall of Premier Mar
tinez Campos' ministry. Another dis
patch says that many liberal news
papers in Spain deplore the resignation
of Premier Campos. They think that
as the conservatives were divided, King
Alfonso should have entrusted the gov
ernment to Sagasta and the liberals
instead of those, who for nine months
have opposed and defeated the aboli
tion and free tIade policy of Campos

FROM Los prNOs.
One of the Offending Utes Delivered
Ouray in Bad Odor.

One OF the Ouending tteS Delivered
Ouray In Ead Odor.
Special TO the Denver Tribune.
Los Pinos Agency, Dec. 10, via Lake
City, Dec. IL. Late yesterday after
noon, Johnnie, son-in-law of Chief
Douglass, was brought in by Ouray to
be turned over to the commission, his
name being on the list as one of those
concerned in the massacre. His broth
er was killed in the Thornburgh fight,
but he himself, according to Ouray, was
neither at the agency nor in the fight,
and did not go to the agency until three
days after the scenes enacted there.
Ouray's idea was that he should be
placed upon the stand, allowed to prove
an alibi by himself, and then set free;
but he was told by Gen. Hatch to re-
tain Johnnie prisoner and bring him in
with the others, us he wanted all the
twelve together.
Johnnie's camp is about twenty miles
distant from here, and as Jack passed
by his way to the camp Of Douglass he
told Johnnie he was wanted by the COM
mission, and sent him in.
Ouray has expressed his unwilling
ness to Jacks going to Washington
with the.other Indians, saying that his
band might get into mischief in his alb.
sence. 1t is not probable, however, that
he will hereafter be consulted by the
commission upon any point, as what
little confidence in him the commission
formerly possessed has completely van.
ished.
His idea of the omnipotent Washing
ton is the general government, and hi.
desire that the Indians be tried by thai
Washington is that the Judges and ju
rors be United States officials. Where
the trial is held matters little to him Sc
that it is not held either in Colorado ol
New Mexico.
1t is probable that the commission
will leave this place within a few days
whether the Indians are brought in ol
not, leaving the cavalry escort to take
care of those who are brought in.
The next step will be to take the ties
timony of the officers engaged in The
Milk creek fight, after which the whole
proceedings will be laid before congress
Secretary Schurz's answer to the tel
egram of Gen. Hatch will decide TIL
going or staying of the commission.

Washington, Dec. 12.-All the men,
bers attended the meeting of the cabi-
net to-day The business was unim-
portant.
Mr.. McCrary took leave of the MEM
bers last evening at dinner given by
the president, and left for st. Louis
this morning.
The United States board of trade has
adopted a resolution for committee to
award the prize of 81, 100 offered by a
member to the person who should draw
up for passage by congress the best act
looking toward the regulation of the
sale of food and the prevention of adul-
terations thereof.
The evidence of official misconduct
against Postmaster Tyler, of Baltimore,
does not warrant his removal by the
president.
The house of representatives settled
down to business in good earnest to-
day, and besides devoting some time to
miscellaneous matters passed two of the
regular annual appropriation bills. This
exhibition of working activity ON the
part of the dominant party in the house
is noted with special qualification by the
friends of Speaker Randall, between
whom and Senator Bayard contest in
the presidential race so far as congress
sional democratic support is concerned,
appears now to be clearly defined. Mr..
Bayard believes In putting the financial
question in front of all others, and of
pushing 1t vigorously in behalf of what
he and the great mass of his party in the
east denominate "honest money. -
Speaker Randall's policy is to ignore
the financial policy altogether for the
present, and to win the good opinion of
the country by cutting down appropria-
tions and by making the session short
one. The republicans in congress are
as yet very quiet concerning presiden-
tial plans, but it is charged by some of
Secretary Sherman's friends that the
one controlling motiye of the very gen.
eral agreement among republican poll
ticians in congress to avoid all financial
agitation is a fear that the discussion
of financial topics would keep Mr.. Sher.
man too prominently before the people,
because, as these friends of the secre
tary argue, he has conducted the finan'
cial affairs of the government so wisely
and successfully that his name come.
first to mind whenever such question:
are discussed.

CONGRESSIONAL.
LEersLATroN AT THE cArrrAL
HOUSE.

Washington, d. e., Dec. 12.-The
senate joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of the interior to negotiate
with the Ute Indians for the relinquish-
ment Of their reservation in Colorado,
was taken from the speakers table and
referred to the committee on Indian af-
fairs.
Baker, from the committee on appro-
priations, reported back the fortifica-
tion appropriation bill, and the house
went into committee of the whole on
that bill. Baker said that with single
exception the bill was the same as had
been reported for the last two years,
the item of the armament of the coast
Notifications, including heavy gunsand
howitzers, powder, ETC., has been in
creased by the sum of 500, 900, so that
the item of the present bill amounted
to s225,000 in place of S125, 900 last
year the estimate of the chief of ord
nance for that service had been 81 ,O67,-
600 the secretary of war had reduced
that estimate to $500. 900, and the COM
mittee had reduced it to s225, 900. The
increase in the appropriation wns for
the pdrpose of converting smooth bore
cannon into rifle guns. If congress
continued to appropriate 1925, 900 a
year for that purpose, it would be 20
years before enough would be converted
to arm the forts in the harbor of New
York.
Reagan moved to amend by making
an appropriation of $4,000 for batter
les for the defence of Galveston harbor.
Baker, Hawley and Clymer opposed
the amendment. The latter said the
committee was unanimous in the opin-
ion that it was neither wise nor neces-
sary at this time to enter upon any gen.
eral system of sea coast Notifications.
Reagan's amendment was adopted.
The committee reported the bill to
the house, and it passed.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on the pension appropria-
tion bill. 1t appropriates S32, ,4O4 900
as against s29, ,266, 600 last year. That
increase had been necessitated by the
large increase in the number of PEN
sioners during the last year.
The bill was agreed to in committee
without amendment, and on being re-
ported to the house. passed.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on private calendar
Adjourned until Monday.
