Wdufs the Iudfaus Dfsdrpted.

Ex-Delesate Ouray, OF Arizona, and Mr..
Hughes, OF that territory, called upon the
commissioner OF Indian affairs to urge the
disarming OF the Indians OF San Carlos res
ervation, in Arizona. They expressed the
belief that this measure, il adopted, would
prevent a conflict that seemed to be i'm
pending between the Indians now on the
reservation and the white settlers. Com
missioner Atkins made a request and prop
osition that the cowboys also be d~isarmed,
and then proceeded to expound his views
upon the Indian question at some length.
Hesaid he Jailed to see any reason why the
cowboys should carry arms when the In
dams were disarmed and added that it was
entirely improper for any persons, white,
black or red, to be permitted to ride around
the country armed with a Winchester rifle
and army revolver, free to shoot any one
in sight.
C. Gordon Adams called upon President
and presented numerous papers
from residents OF Arizona to the effect that
the attempt to keep the Apaches on the
San Carlos reservation has proved a disas-
trousf failure and asking that steps be taken
to locate the tribe on the Oklahoma lands
in the Indian Territory. The president
promises that the matter shall receive his
earnest and prompt attention.

KancImca ia oklahoma.
Secretary Lamar has received n letter
from Gen. McCook, ex-governor @ Colorado,
relative to the power OF the government to
prevent the illegal occupation of lands IN
the Indian territory. The writer asserts
that the law declares that the secretary
OF the interior has full control OF all In
dian affairs under the law, subject to di-
rection by the president; that certain con-
tracts may be made by individuals with
Indians relative to services in procuring
the payment OF claims, but thatno author
ity exists for making contracts OF any
other nature, and if they are made arc
null and void; hat no purchase, grant,
lease or other conveyance OF lands or OF
any title or claim thereto from any In
dian nation or tribe OF Indians shall be OF
any validity of law or equality unless tho
Same shall be made by treaty or convcn-
ton entered into pursuant to the consti-
tuition; that only the United States can
make any contract with any Indian ma
ton or tribe affecting lands, whether
by purchase, lease or otherwise, and
that the United States can do so only by
formal agreement, and that the president
may employ the military to remove tres
passers from the Indian lands Gen. Nc
Cook substantiates the above points by
citations from the revised statutes, and
that the United States can mako
agreements respecting Indian lands only
the Indians themselves and not with
third parties, and only with the Indians
by agreement ratified by congress. Not
witlstanding the positive prohibitions OF
the law against leasing or conveyance OF
by Indian tribes, substantially NIL
tho lands in the Indian territory set apart
Tor exclusive Indian occupation, Gen. Nc
o says, arc in the possession OF white
men under leases from the Indians, who
no power to lease, and with the tacit
recognition OF the interior department.,
which he believes had no power to recog-
or assent to any such lease OF posses

Belief that an alliance Erists Beticeen
Ecuador and Chill.
A prominent naval officer is reported to
have said in relation to the fact that a
naval vessel has been ordered to Ecuador:
lyon know the ~Iroquois has been sent
down to ~Guayaquil, in Ecuador, to de-
mand from that government the release OF
Prof. Santos. In addition to the general
instructions her captain, Yates Sterling,
received he had sealed orders, which are
only to be opened in case the government
OF Ecuado does not promptly comply with
the request of the secretary OF state. OF
couree neither l nor any one else but the
secretary of the navy knows what those
sealed orders are, but / can easily
imagine"
what do you believe them to be?" was
asked.
"Orders to take Santos, il necessary, by
force, " was the prompt reply; and there
will be the interesting feature OF this mat
ter. 1t has been rumored among the diplo-
matte representatives of the South Ameri-
can governments in Washington, and be-
heved in higher quarters, that Ecuador has
made an alliance, offensive and defensive,
with Chill, and that the latter power will
promptly interfere if Ecuador is attacked.
Chill is the most powerful of all the South
American republics. Eight years ago she
calmly uefied the United States, and her
ranking officer, Admiral Don Patricio
Lynch, informed the American admiral
commanding the South American station
that if any trouble occurred between the
two nations he meant to sail for San Fran
cisco and levy an indemnity on it or shell
the place out OF existence. The last he
could easily have done, for his fleet had the
latest and best pattern OF Krupp and Arm
guns. The Gillian navy could have
stood three miles beyond the range of the
best guns we have in any fort about the
Golden Gate and dropped 5%0O-pound shells
into the heart OF San Francisco"

publics. In response Grant wrote: "My
great interest in Mexico dates back to the
war between the United States and that
country. My interest was increased when
four European monarchies attempted to
set up their institutions on this continent,

His son and one OF his councillors were
taken at the same time. When appre-

remainder are surrendering to the Indian
agent and giving up their arms.

Results OF rliamenta Elections Dis
heartening to the Liberals.
London dispatch; Results of Parliamentary
elections which took place during the past
week to fill vacancies causel by change in
ministry, have rather alarmed liberals.
But they were beginning to feel sure OF an
easy victory in the coming general election,
but the tories have no more than held their
own in special pollings, and have increased
their majorities in such holly contested bor-
oughs as Wakefield and Woodstock. The
Liberal election agents in many provinces
sent In discouraging reports about the cut
look. They say that the agricultural voters
are falling away from the Liberal interest,
and that the laborers are Indifferent about
taking advantage of the enlarged franchise.
These agents further declare that in the most
rural regions of England both the agricultur-
al laborers and workingmen are this year es-
pecially under the influence or control OF To-
cal squires and parsons, farmers AMI author
tiles.
This is accounted for by the fact that the
have for a long period past been I'M
usually hard, and that these classes of voters
are under more than ordinary obligations to
their employers and patrons. The s. uires.
parsons, farmers and local officials, nearly
all Conservatives and with bright party pros
oects before them, exerting all their influence
retain control of the British political af-
airs. the Tory managers locating polling
places In remote districts, controlled by Lib
rails in such a way as to make it difficult for
'oters to reach the polls. They also issued a
ircular among farm laborers declaring the
haracter of their ballots will inevitably be
Inown to their employers. The Irish leaders
ave arranged to throw the Irish vote
England In such q way as to help
he Tory candidates in all close districts. The
LIBERAL managers are thoroughly frightened.

Lieut.. w. H. Schuetz, United States navy,
is about to sail on the North German
Lloyd steamer Fulda for Berlin. From
thence he will go to st. Petersburg, where
he will obtain his passport through Siberia.
The object of this trip is to deliver to the
inhabitants of the Lena delta the presents
provided by congress for those who aided
in succoring the survivors OF the Jeanette
expedition, as well as those who aided the
labor ofthe relief party under Lieut.. G. B.
HARDER. Lieut.. Schuetz will take with him
a handsome sword for presentation to the
governor OF Yakoutsk, and a number OF
state department medals for the more
prominent natives who took an especial
part in the labors OF relief. Besides this
the lieutenant carries with him q number
OF rifles from America, a large guam
tity of cotton and flannel, and will
purchase at Yakoutsk a supply OF tea,
tobacco, and knives, suitable for the frigid
regions which he is to visit. His journey
Will occupy nearly a year, and he will be
compelled to travel about 5000 miles on
sleds drawn by horses, reindeer and dogs.
Lieut.. Schuetz is well fitted for this expedi-
ton. He has traversed the country before, |
and is familiar with several of the dialects
OF Asiatic Russia, besides which he is man
OF powerful physique, and is personally ac-
quainted with the natives who rendered the
aid to the previous parties, as he was
a member of the relief expedition which

of Lieut.. Schuetz to publish a book
On Siberia on his return, and he has writ
zen a number Of letters to various newspa-
oers upon the Siberian people which were
cad will q great deal of interest at the
line, his publication will undoubtedly
prove of great value in explaining the mode

DR.. Hamilton, of Washington, surgeon
general of the marine hospital service, has
been advised Of what is regarded as a spor.
adic case of yellow fever in New Orleans.
He does not think that this should cause
alarm, although evidence has been discov-
cred that it originated in importation OF
fever germs. He thinks there can be no
doubt that yellow fever was imported in
infected clothing or in some other way.
The case was effectually ~quarantined at
the earliest stage and it is not expected
that the fever will spread from it.
