UMATILLA LANDS.
Indians Refuse to Vacate Unless Paid
for improvements.

I
for improvements.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Some days
ago the Secretary of the Interior in
structed the Receiver of the Land Office
ut Pendleton, Or, Cleaver, to send all the
money received from the sale of improve
ments by the Indians on the Umatilla
lands to the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, who would through an Indian
agent refund to the Indians the money
due them for said improvements.
This order was made in response to in
formation received from Cleaver that the
Indians threatened not to leave their land
unless paid for their improvements, and
having no money, they were on the
point of interfering with the settlers.
Since the order was made, Land Com
missioner Carter has come to the conclu-
sion that the plan recommended by
Indian Commissioner Morgan and ap-
proved by the Secretary is illegal. The
only way to settle the matter in his opin-
ion, is to turn into the treasury all the
money received from the sale of Indian
improvements on lands. In order for the
Indians TO get money it will be necessary
for Congress to make an appropriation to
cover the individual Indian claims as re-
turned by the Appraising Board.
The commissioner has directed a letter
to the Secretary taking this position and
as soon as the latter returns from New
York it will doubtless be considered
Advices from Pendleton to-day state
that the Indians insist on getting their
money Immediately and that they are
very much displeased over the order
made by the Secretary, but the new turn
taken by the commissioner prolongs the
time, they being forced to await con-
greSSiOnal action.
