Coiored Mon Among 'he Cherokee.


V1N1TA, I. T., May 5.-Intense excitement
prevails near Lenahah, Cherokee nation, on
account of an open rebellion on the part of q
large class of non-citizen negroes against the
officers of the Cherokee nation. The north
ern portion of the Cherokee nation has, since
the war, been occupied by citizen negroes,
who were made citizens by the treaty of 1856
between the United States and the Cherokees,
and of late years other negroes from the
states have been dropping in until now there
are more negro intruders than citizens, and
there is q provision of the Cherokee laws
that requirses the solicitor of each district to
report all intruders found in his district to
the principal chief, and also requires the
sheriff of Che district to advertise the i'm
provements of such intruder for fifteen days
and sell them to the highest bidder. Such a
place was advertised in this district, and was
to have been sold, but when the sheriff ar
rived on the premises to make the sale he
was met by a force of 1U0 armed negroes
tempted to make the sale. They were armed
with every description of firearms, and as
many as fifty new Winchesters were counted
by the posse. A lawyer by the name of
Waters has been their counsel. They stated
to the sheriff that since the place HAD been
advertised they had sought protection from
the interior department. of the United States
in vain, and now they proposed to defend
themselves and their property by force of
arms. Several deputy sberiffs are telegraph
ing their respective courts for writs, and at
tempts may be made at any time by them to
arrest the most bellIgerent parties. The
principal chief, Joel B. Mayes, will place
himself in direct communication with the
interior department.. when troops may be
sent to prevent further trouble. The negroes
threaten with dire vengeance the solicitor
and deputy sheriff of this district. and the
probabilities are that if either of them had
gone TO the premises serious trouble would
have resulted. At thus writing the Indians
are rallying to the support of the sheriff,
heavily armed, and both factions seem de-
termined. and altogether the condition of
things wears very serious aspect and every
body expects trouble to occur.
Much bad feeling has been brewing for
some time, owing to the fact of the removal
of intruders by the Cherokee authorities.
Lenahah is a small station on the Arkansas
Valley railway, and the inhabitants of the
surrounding country are mostly negroes.
The railway authorities have telegraphed to
Fort Smith for marshals to protect their
property and employees.

mated the idea. and Is said to have had a
long conference in Paris last week with a
number of most able leaders in charitable

Oh II Per Cents, Which Would
show Sound Credit

WAsz1NGToE. d. c.. May 1.-Secret.rv n,
the Treasury Foster has gwen out for n,,h,;
cation an interview of which this is the main
part:
would be correct to say that about SO.
VO.OO Is unquestionably available cash. thu,

ooO OF subsidiary coin. 100000 in trade
dollar bullion. $4,000 900 OF current c,sb
and 100000 in silver, against which M
certificates have been issued. As to the 500.
oOO,UoO OF gold reserve, it is held against the
S55oOO.OOO of Rreenbacks to make the credit
OF the government impregnable, for no one
would be able to gather enough greenbacks
to take all the gold out of the treasury. and
therefore they do not take any. But these
notes outstanding are legal tender and the
government can add this gold reserve if It be
needed on a pinch. It should, therefore.
appear In the debt statement as available
cash"
"Do you regard the silver purchased under
the act, against which certificates have been
issued, as available cash that may be used
oy the government at any Iime?"
mo, the certificates are issued against
that, and 1t is in the nature of a trust, but
tile prohts on the silver purchases. which
amount now to some 81, 600. 900, may be
used. presume that during May and June
there Will be an extraordinary expenditure
for pensions coming due in June-extraor
binary in that it will probably be $40 600
larger than last year. Now, as to the re-
demption of the ~ per cent bonds, am
thinking OF trying to substitute per cents
Tor them, a. Mr.. Window proposed. If it
can be done there will be two advantages in
1t over the present redemption. TO be able
to hoat 2 per cent. bonds will demonstrate
the extraordinary soundnessN of the govern
ment's credit and the money that would be
required to redeem the 416s may be used for
the purchase of Us at saving of per cent.
OF the interest that would be raid on them
up to the time of maturity. talk about
these matters freely, because believe it to
be good thing to have them discussed we'll,
and well understood before they are tried.''
Mr.. Leach says that the refund of the
direct tax has cut no figure in the reduction
of cash in the treasury, and that the real
cause of the rapid disappearance of the $50
called" surplus has been the extensive pur-
chases of the interest bearing debt at a cost,
from March l, 1889, to March last, of $751;
Io9, o8l, a fact, he says, unparalleled in the
history of the government. Touching the
trenching upon the gold reserves of the treas
ury. Director Leach says he has no such in
tention, and believes in maintaining the gold
standard. He also holds that the mainte-
nance of the gold standard is of great impor-
lance to the country, and this applies with
rs much force to the new treasury notes as
it does to the Qreenbacks.
