CHICAGO. March 13.-BuffalO Bill has

and will, within a few davs, start for
Europe with the hostile Sioux now held
as prisoners at Fort Sheridan. They are
to make up part of Col. Cody's Wild
West show. Secretary Noble has also
given his consent for Col. Cody 10 take
as many more Indians as he wishes,
their consent being first obtained. The
Indians at Fort Sheridan are in nature
cross between nuisance and white
elephant to both the war and interior
departments, and it is understood that
Secretary Noble was only too glad of
an opportunity to get rid of them. The
Indians were. OF course, q ad to get out

RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.
Secret Mission or Foster and
Young Blaine.


WASHINGTON, March 13.-The fact
that Hon. j.. w. Foster, eX-minister to
Spain. and James G. Blaine Jr. started
for Europe last Wednesday on the Teu-
tonic was kept rather quiet, and little
save the fact that they had gone was
published. The mission of the former
is an important one and of general inter
est, for he goes to Spain to further the
reciprocity treaty between the United
States and Cuua, through the mother
country (Spaln).
Mr.. Foster has been prominent in the
reciprocity negotiations with South
American countries. His eXperince in
Spain as minister and his connection
with the Latln-American countries have
made him very valuable to Mr.. Blaine
and the state department. 1t is we'll
known fact that the next reciprocity
proclamation will be with Cuba. and
Mr.. Blaine has bent his greatest ener-
gies to this end. Mr.. Foster goes over
to smooth out and arrange some of the
final matters. The sugar question with
Cuba is becoming of vital Importance.
The enormous production of beet sugar
in Europe has 50 seriously affected the
cane sugar production of Cuba that,
with the exception of the Spanish pen
insula, CuUa is completely shut out of
the European sugar market. Hence the
island is now practically dependent
on the market of the United States.
Cuba Is bound up in this trade. All her
interests, such as plantations. railroads
and hundreds of minor industries in the
agricultural and mechanical trades, de-
pend upon it, and hence her great de-
sire for this treaty. Mr.. Blaine has
been very busy on it, and the departure
of Mr.. Foster means that the negotia-
tions are nearly compile ed.
