INDIAN DEPREDATIoN CLAIMS,

Residents Of New Mexico have an
interest amounting to about s6,O0O,-
600 in the new act relating to the
settlement of Indian depreciation
claims. They are, therefore, much
concerned in learning something Of
what the new law contains.
The adjustment of these claims
which in the aggregate amount tC
some 500, 900, 900, is turned over to the
now existing court Of claims, which
is given authority to inquire into and
finally adiudicate, in the manner pro
vided in this act, all claims of the fol
lowing classes, namely:
First. All claims for property OF
citizens of the United States taken OF
destroyed by Indians belonging to any
tribe or nation in amity with the
United States, without just cause OF
provocation on the part Of the owner
or agent in charge, and not returned
or paid for.
"Second. Such Jurisdiction shall
also extend to all cases which have
been examined and allowed by the in
terror department, and also to such
cases as were authorized to be examin-
ed under the act of congress making
appropriations for the current and
contingent expenses of the Indian de-
partment, and for fulfilling treaty
stipulations with various Indian tribes
for the year ending June 30, 1856, and
for other purposes, approved March 3,
1885, and under subsequent acts, sub
ject, however, to all limitations here
matter provided.
''Third. All just Offsets and counter
claims to any claim of either Of the
preceding classes which may be be-
fore such court for determination.
"Sec. 2. That all questions OF
limitation as to time and manner OF
presenting claims are hereby waived,
and no claim shall be excluded from the
Jurisdiction of the court because not
heretofore presented to the secretary
of the interior or other officer or de.
partment of the government: Provid.
ed, That no claim accruing prior to
July l, 1866, shall be considered by
the court unless the claim has been
allowed or has been or is pending, prior
to the passage of this act, before the
secretary of the interior, or the con-
gress of the United States, or before
any superintendent, agent, sub-agent
or commissioner, authorized under any
act of congress to inquire into such
claims; but no case shall be considered
unless evidence has been presented
therein; and provided further, That
all claims existing at the time Of the
taking effect of this act shall be pre-
sented to the court by petition, as
hereinafter provided, within three
years after the passage thereof, or
shall be thereafter forever bar
red" etc.
