MINER ExoNERATED.
His Conduct In tho Barrunda Matter Said
to Have Bern Endorsed.

His Conduct In tho BarrundIa Matter Said
to Have Bern Endorsed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. est Is under
stood that Mr.. Miner. Minister TO Cen
trail America, has received from Secre-
tsry Blaine assurances OF the approval
Of the President OF his conduct in the
Barrundia case and has been fully justi.
fed in the course pursued. This infor-
nation comes from the city Of Guate-
mala.
According to the announcement Min
lister Miner Is held not to have exceed
ed his duty. On the contrary, he went
further in the matter in the interest OF
General Barrundia and his family than
he was required to do. He secured o
written guarantee from the President
of Guatemala and the Minister Of For
eiTn Relations, made to the Govern
ment Of the United States, that in no
case would the life of General Barrun-
dia be in danger. Minister Miner
90 stated in his letter to Captain
Pitts, which was read and trans
lated to Barrundia. 1t appears that
Miner did not order his surrender. He
simply called the captains attention to
the instructions laid down by the State
Department for the information ofcom-
manders OF merchant vessels in just
such cases. 1t appears that the solic-
itude not to involve the company in
trouble with the Guatemalan Govern
ment was wholly on the side Of the cap
tain OF the Acapulco. The demand for
General Barrundia was not based on
political grounds, but entirely upon
allegations of crime.

PENSION CLAIMS.

Moro Than HaIf Million Applications Un-
dor the New Law-An Explanation,
WASHINGTON, Oct 2S-More than
half o million applications under the
new pension law have been received by
Commissioner Raum. The exact num-
Der up to date is 500, $50. The law was
approved Juno "a, and while a number
of certificates have already been issued,
the adjudication Of these claims has
not yet fairly started. Applicants who
have claims on file under previous
acts have been receiving first
attention, as it was found that
many of them were in condition to be
allowed at once. The appointment Of
the additional force authorized by Con-
gress to dispose of the extraordinary
business Of the bureau will enable the
Commissioner to continue the issue OF
pensions under the new law without de-
laying the allowance OF claims under
the old laws An order has been issued
defining the rating under the act OF
June 81, 1890. which states that II the
claimants are so incapacitated for the
performance OF manual labor as to
render them unable to earn q
support in such q degree as would
be rated under former laws at or
above SO and less than Sl2, they shall be
rated the same as like disabilities OF
service originally. II disability ex-
lists that would have given the claimant
sl2 or more under the old law, he will
be given sI2 under this law 1t would
appear from the above that II claimants
are not entitled to So rating their
claims will not be favorably considered.

TIE INDIAN MESSIAH.

ne "Indlan Millennium" Craze Increasing
Sitting Hull Om'ng to the Front Again
NJ u Disturbing Element.
WASHINGTON Oct 28.-The Commits
sioncr OF Indian Affairs has received
reports from the Standing Rock agency
In South Dakota indicating that the
Indian millennium" craze lie increasing
among tho Sioux. Great excitement
over tho matter prevails among the Sit
ting Bull faction, who are anxicusly and
confidently awaiting the coming Of the
millennium next year.
Agent Mclaughlin. In q long report to
the department on the subject, says tho
superstitious notion comes from the
more southern Sioux. and Is doubtless
tho same craze that has been agitating
tho Shoshones in Wyoming and the
Cheycnnes and Arapahoes in Indian
Territory.
Sitting Bulls influence as q disturb
ing element seems to have increased
during tho last year, and this is partly
accounted for, the agent thinks by the
presence OF a woman from Brooklyn,
Mrs. C. Weldon, who went to the agency
in June, 1889. announcing herself as q
member OF Dr. BANDS society. She has
lavished numerous and costly gifts upon
Sitting Bull, and this has made the
chief more iRsolent than ever
Tho agent dovotes large portion OF
the report to Sitting Bull, giving him a
bad reputation He says he is man OF
low cunning, devoid OF single manly
principle in his nature, or an honorable
trait OF character. but on the contrary
is capable OF melting others Chose who
believe in his powers) to do any amount
Of mischief. He is polygamist, lib
ertine, an habitual liar and an active
obstructionist and great obstacle in
the way OF the civilization OF these pco-
pie, and he is totally devoid OF single
noble trait OF character.

ment on District Attorneys.
WASHINGTON, Oct 9.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Miller has sent circular letter to
all United States attorneys calling at
tention to the act OF Congress, approved
September o, 1890, entitled IAN act to
amend certain sections Of the revised
statutes relating to lotteries and
for other purposes" with the sug-
gestion that they carefully examine the
same and spare no effort in its enforce
ment He says: every violation Of
this law, either by an individual or a
corporation in the dissemination Of lot
terry literature, or in any other way,
should be brought to the attention Of
the grand jury and wherever indict-
ments are found vigorous prosecution
should follow, to the end that this
nefarious business may be suppressed.
In the enforcement OF this law there
should be hearty cooperation on the
part Of the district attorneys, the United
States marshals and the post-office in
gpeCtOrs"
