Her relatives and friends have vainly en-.
deavored to locate her, but she does n OF re.
ply to any Of the letters sent to her, if, indeed,

America depends upon the great heart OF
the two peoples. Treaties were of small con-
sequence and diplomacy had seen it's best
days. 1t was upon the sentiment of the

The release of the vessel has been demanded
through proper diplomatic channels, and II
tho demand is not complied with within a
reasonable period OF time steps will be taken
to enforce it. With this end in view, Secretary
Whitney sent telegraphic instructions to
Rear Admiral Gerhardi, commandment of
the New York navy yard, to have the ships
Richmond, Galena and Ynntic prepared for
sea as rapidly as possible. The position
taken by this government is understood to
be that as the Haytian authorities deferred
the arbitration of the case to this govern
ment, they are virtually bound by it's decis.
ion, and that when they were informed by
to seize and detain the Haytian Republic they
should have accepted the situation and re-
leased the vessel.

circumstances the commission thinks that to
bring about the civilization OF these indians
the reservation should ut once be sur
veyed the Indians required to take their lands
by allotment and SO to work upon them,
the surplus land being sold of; that they
should Be compelled to send their children to
school; that rations and annuities should
be firmly withheld from those who wilfnlly
refuse to comply with these requirements;
that all Indians complying should be given
annuities and necessary ~rations and inn
PIGMENTS promptly; that alldcalings between
the government, its agents and the Indians
should be with them rs individuals, and chiefs
as such should in no wise be recognized.
Then the reservation should be opened to
settlement SO that railroads and other public
improvements may be encouraged and the
