American Citizenship Mt q Discount.
THE PUEBLO INDIANS OF NEW MEXICO OBJECT

American Citizenship Mt a Discount.
THE PUEBLO INDIANS OF NEW MEXICO oBJECT
TO BECOMING CITIZENS.
delegation of Pueblo Indians from the vi
cinity of Albuquerque, New Mexico called on
the commissioner of Indian affairs to-day for
the purpose of protesting against their recent
assessment for taxes as citizens of the territory.
1t seems that these Indians were citizens OF
Mexico, and In the treaty with the United
States, by which New Mexico became part Of
the United States. the Inhabitants Of the'ceded
territory were not to be deprived Of their rights
Of citizenship. While these Indians have been
citizens of the United states during all
these years, they have been regarded
as other Indians who are not citizens. They,
however, are entirely Independent of govern
ment aid, and occupy lands under grants This
year. for the first time, the New Mexico govern
ment decided to assess these Indians, thus re-
cognizing their status as citizens. To this the
Indians object, as the tax would be burden on
them, and they prefer to live as the other Indi-
ans, without exercising the rights of citizens.
They Will have an interview with Secretary
Lamar on Monday. more interesting phase
of the case is the fact that If these Indians are
citizens they have the right to vote, and If this
right is exercised IL will bring into New Next
can politics q new element of between two and
three thousand voters. The local politicians
appreciate this latter fact.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Sept. 19.-The royal proclamation
for a further propagation Of parliament shows
that the previous rumor mentioned i'm these
dispatches was not unfounded. This does not
mean that the general election will necessarily
take place later, but points in that direction, by
leaving the way open. The Post, which has
lately been in the confidence of the ministers,

proved liberal victory.

again, but certain changes seem clear. Gran

Sale Of Valuable Real Estate.

COOKE PARK" IN WEST WASHINGTON
Prof. Alex. Melville Bell has just purchased
through Fitch, Fox & Brown, agents for the
owners, that beautiful piece of ground at the
corner of Road and Washington streets, in
Georgetown, known as "Cooke Park" for
$4,000. This propertyis perhaps one of the
best known In Georgetown, having been the
nome OF John Carter, deceased, of whom it was
devised to his daughter, Annie ONeal and in
the event Of her death to her only child, John
Carter ONeal, by whom it was sold in 1867 to
Henry ID. Cooke. Previous to this time the old
mansion had been occupied by foreign minis
tiers, and was justly celebrated for the hos
pitality dispensed within its walls. Just before
the panic Of 1873, Mr.. Cooke had begun to erect
upon portion of the ground q residence esti-
mated to cost 500, 900. The foundation was a
massive one, and became a familiar sight to
persons travelling on Washington street At
length the stones were removed, and now
form the facing of the extension Of the west
wing OF the Census building, corner 18th and
pennsylvania avenue. 1t is the intention Of
Mr.. Bell to subdivide the property into villa
sites. During the progress of the survey the
past week there were many inquiries about the
lots, several of which were sold before the com.
pletion of the survey.
