SLEEPLESS THOUSANDS.
ment-The Presidents Proclamation
Opening Indian Lands Expected.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
GUTHRIE, O. r., Sept. 1.-THE past
twenty-four hours have been fraught with
excitement of the widest kind. Last night
the report got out that the presidents proc
lamation opening the Indian lands would be
issued to-day. and that the lands would be
open at once. All night long
wagons were loaded. and at daybreak
thousands We're on their way To the border
of the promised land. All day to-day there
was Il hurrying TO and fro, and an anxious
crowd besieged the newspaper and teie-
graph offices \ thousand horses stood
s;lddled on the streets. and thousand
men We're booted and spurred ready to
mount and be off. Every train brought
anxious hundreds TO Guthrie's waiting
throng. The proclamation came not, and
tonight the crowd IS becoming uneasy.
Nobody thinks of going TO bed; hundreds
could not get beds if they wanted them.
Along the lines Of the Indian lands for
miles east camp-tires are burning
by the thousands. and an anxious
throng awaits the coming of the couriers
who will bring them the news of the open
ing. The next day or two will see scenes
wilder and more thrilling than any enacted
et the opening of Oklahoma.

became mixed up in politics on this side of
the river, and on account of being an Ameri
can citizen was slapped in the face in
the public street, and had to leave
the city. Since then he has been
mixed in several squabbles, always
getting the worst OF it. and was shot in Rio
Grande City over another election squabble.
He recently has published a small paper at
ranch in Nueces county, and is now
wanted here for libel on account of articles
published in that paper.
Last night, after the circulation of that
circular above referred to. a man named
Bensoni. foreman of Garsa's paper, was
arrested on the plaza, as he is 4 co-defend-
ant with Garsa in the libel suit. He is in
jail unable TO give bonds.
The general opinion Is that the whole is
hoax, and the reports sent out last night
that Garsa had crossed 10 Mexico with
fifty men are now discredited here by all
people who know him. and who believe him
to be coward. II is known that Sandoval
is not with him, as he is in Galveston or
New Orleans.
There may be some scheme connected
with the report, aud portion OF it is be
ieved 10 be the prevention of Garsas ar
rest on the capias from this county, which
is out for him, as he knows he has no sym
pathy here, and will be severely dealt with

of their being out so late at night that they
, were half asleep all next day. 1t was very
difficult to find out just exactly what was
being done, for the negroes were very jeal-
Gus of their rites and would not allow
white man to come near their quarters after
dark. On two occasions some of the young
men attempted to pry into the gOingS-On
and both times they barely escaped with
their lives, for they were SO severely beaten
that they could hardly get away.
One young man. however, determined to
solve the mystery if possible, and as he was
good impersonator, he determined to be-
come, for the time being, negro. He fixed
ton type, and arrived at Topeka from the
South. He made his way to the settlement,
and as he was well versed with the dialect
he was made at home by the hospitable
darkeys He did not wish to excite suspi-
cion SO he apparently paid no attention to
what was going on around him. and seemed
TO want to remain by himself. He began
going through strange antics and mutter-
ings, and plucked herbs and roots, and when
the occasion arose he made mysterious
signs to the man whom he had reason to
believe was the VOodoo priest. That indi-
vidual fell into the trap and took him for
fellow VoodoO, aud invited him TO attend
the ceremonies which We're to take place
that night.
Promptly on time he was there and found
4 small room full of negroes. while in the
center sat the priest going through weird
denominations After certain forms had
been gone through with the chief priest
began Il dance in which he was followed by
several of both sexes As the dance pro
ceeded the performers became excited and
piece By piece they took off their clothing
until all were entirely naked in the center
of the room, going around and around in I
mad whirl. This was kept up until the
dancers would fall from exhaustion and
others would take their places. All night
long the dance went on, and when the cocks
began Growing for morning the orgies We're
discontinued. There Is talk of official action
being taken to stop the rites, but rs yet
nothing has been done.

A Plan of Revolution.
Special 10 The Gazette.


LAREDO. Ten. Sept. 17.--Last night
while the plazas in this city and i'll Nuevo
Laredo were crowded with people, some
parties unknown distributed among the
crowd dodgers printed i'll Spanish contain
ing a plan of revolution. 1t set forth that
Mexico was III the tolls of Il
second Santa Anna, referring to Presi-
dent Diaz. and all liberty loving
people should join in a revolution to secure
his overthrow. The plan went on to name
Cartino Garsa as leader or executive of
the revolution. and Ruiz Sandoval of border
fame as commander-in-chief of the army
Sandoval is the man who crossed the river
near here some months ago with several
men and who was Scooped in by
the civil authorities, assisted by the United
States troops. He was acquitted on trial for
lack of evidence as to his motives.

Special to the Gazette,
TOPEKA, KAN, Sept. 11.-Just west of
this city. lying between the Rock Island
| tracks and the river. is a large settlement
of colored people. They are part of those
who came TO this state during the famous
exodus wren so many negroes came
from the Southern states in the hope of
finding land flowing with milk and honey
They have congregated in that part of the
city, and live in little hutS which would be
disgrace as hog pens in a civilized COM
munity. These negroes are very Superstl-
tious, and while they are also very religious
they have many peculiar rites and ceremo-
MES when they introduce into their relig-
ious exercises, and which border upon the
savage rites of idOlators. In fact, many of
these people are unable TO talk 50 they can
be understood by the whites, for while
they understand the English language and
give back what they think is the same. il is
so tinctured with the savage tongues of
their forefatherS that they cannot be IN
derstood. They are of the most ignorant
sort, and live from hand to mouth BY what
little work they do. and on the charity of the
rest of the people of the city.
a few days ago it leaked out that there
was something unusual going on among
these people but the whites thought it was
another revival and paid no attention TO the
matter. But there was more than relig-
Gus gathering, when it comes TO Christian
ity as synonym for religion. The savage
rites of voodooiSm We're being taught by
regular priests of the sect, and nightly or
gies We're being INDUCED in which would
shock the sensibilities of the religious peo-
pie of the country could they know what
was being done in the name of religion.
These rumors have been going around for
month and still the whites paid no atten-
ten TO the matter until it became evident
that something would have to be done if
there was any work to be got out of the
negroes OF the town. The colored help IT
all places was almost worthless On account

Tribal Signs of the Indians.

Trailing is not all the scouts knowl-
edge. Besides having an intimate &c.
quaintance with the country he also
knows how to hail any passing bands OF
Indians or other tribes of the plains
The tribe signs are as numerous as the
tribal divisions themselves. The APP
proach of an Indian party is stopped by
holding up the right hand. Passing it
back and forward before the face
means, "Who are you" as plain as
words can say it. Then cones the an

Threats.
All these things arc in the mind Of the
scout and are as familiar to him as the
rising of the sun. In addition, he
knows something of astronomical lore so

barometer in predicting weather changes,
and his acquaintance with wild beasts

A KINGS LOVE OF SPORT.
How Kalakaua Undertook to Train
Some Native oarsmen.

There are dozens of "reminiscences of
the late King Kalakaua now floating
down the news current, and the San
Franci'co Post adds a couple relating to
the late monarch's love of sport: The
King was very fond of sport and was
never happier than when consorting with
the athletes who wandered to his island
while returning from the Orient by way
of San Francisco. The fever for boat
racing in Australia caught his attention.
and he conceived the idea of introducing
that fascinating sport at the islands.
He had only to express wish for it
and the oarsmen among the white popu-
lation challenged a crew of the natives
to four boat race. The articles
of agreement were at once drawn up, the
stakes deposited and date set.
Z he King made up his mind that the
natives would be beaten if he did not
become their trainer He was so enthu-
siastc in the matter that he would allow
no one but himself to carry out all the
preparations for the contest.
lie selected seven of the most skilful
scullers among his subjects and placed
them in training according to his idea of
the most approved manner. He told
them they might be as strong as mules,
but if they did not train their wind they
would never win the race. He then
ordered them to be up every morning
at sunrise and await him at the gate Of
the palace.
The next morning he was in the saddle
in time to meet his crew. He carried
a long backsnake whip. His orders to
the scullers were: "You must run rs
hard as you can until tell you to stop
and if you don't" lie cracked his
whip as forcible finish to his threat.
He ran them for three miles the first
morning and increased the distance every
1svtve<ffu,s tlry.-1 Is A-ttso ssfsoraooas-h he
administered to each of them liberal
dose of physic. In the evenings he
trained them in the boat He overturned
them, and they lost the race before
half the course was covered.
Kalakaua was passionately fond of
sailing a yacht. lie owned one which
carried too much sail for any wind
greater than strong breeze.
One day he sailed much further out to
sea than he usually did. He was lazily
watching the multitude of hungry sharks
which swarmed around his boat, when a
storm blew up. He shortened sail as
quickly as possible, and every time he
looked at the water he saw the sharks
watching him. When he was carefully
working his way back to the island the
