PIERRE, & D., Special Telegram,
Intense excitement prevails at Fort Pierre,
across the river from this place. caused by
private advices being received from officials
of the interior department. which state that
the people over there have no recognizable
right to the land whereon they are settled,
and that the land where the town is situated
belongs to the government, and will be
opened for settlement in the same manner
as the rest Of the reservation lands; pro-
vided, however. that the Northwestern Rail-
road company does not accept the mile
square ON the conditions heretofore agreed
to between the company and the govern
ment The edvices also add that the COM
pany is certain to take the land, as it has re-
Gently signified it's intention of SO doing, and
that the land that it wants is exactly that on
which the Fort Pierre settlers are located.
But the information clearly states that In
either case the settlers will be compelled
to vacate the reservation entirely and
come across the river after the
president issues his proclamation and before
it takes effect, and the military authorities
have also been notified to prepare to compel
the settlers to vacate at any time. In this
connection it was learned three days ago
that there were several parties OF boomers
over on the reservation who intended TO re-
main the entire winter. The authorities set
out for about three miles to the west. where
three families Of poor farmers, who came
from Paris. ILL.,, had located. The Indian
police found them in a horrible state of des-
titution, and had they been allowed to con-
tinue on the land they would have all been
starved before spring. One family, Jensen
by name, had already lost one child, and two
more are in a precarious condition from the
lack of proper nourishment. The three fam
lilies were taken to the ranch of a squaw
man some miles down the river. where they
are being properly cared for, and when they
are in a condition to travel again they will
be brought buck from the reservation.

on the Island Of Savaif
SYDNEY, N. s. w., Special.-Advices re-
ceived here from Apia. under date of the
18th inst, state that q battle is reported to
have taken place on the island of Savaii, be-
tween the forces of Malieton and Tamasese
Three hundred men were engaged on each
side. Several were killed and a number
wounded. Which party won the victory is
not known.
NOT UNCLE SANS FUNERAL.
WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-The cable dispatch
from Sydney of O repor ed engagement be-
tween the forces of Malietoa and Tamasese
was shown to state department official He
said that on the face of it the report was
startling, but that the Importance of the re-
port would be modified by the relative i'm
portance of foreign interests in Savaii. It
might be that there was nothing at all in the
conflict that would call for foreign consider
alton. 1t might be merely lo:al riot
without international significance of any
kind. In any event, the report, if
true, demonstrated that Malietoa and Tam
asese were not dwelling together in such
harmonious relations and ambitions as had
been stated in the recent account of Malie-
toa's abdication and the subsequent election
of Tamasese. The department had no infor-
nation on the subject whatever. An exam
ination of the correspondence and reports
upon the Samoa matter, with accompanying
maps, showed that there was no American
interest at all on the island of Savaii and
that those of England and Germany were IN
considerable, compared to those on Fortuiia,
upon which Apia is situated
