sheared twelve ounces of wool and

James A. Yerington an assurance
that the money thus far contributed
has been judiciously applied, and for
the best interests Of the State. The

eager to supply it. Both the present

mand the raising of funds sufficient
to keep the exhibit open and up to

When Honduras Calls Vasquez
He Will Return.
The War Is Ended, He Says, but
Bonilla Will Stir Up Further
Strife.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The Worlds City
of Salvador special says: Ex-President
Vasquez told a correspondent of the
World to-day that he considered the war
in Honduras ended. He thought Presi-
dent Bonila would have but short lease
of POWER. as his naughty character and
his cruelty would make him unpopular
with the people before very long. He be-
lieved Bouila would attempt, with the
help Of Nicaragua, to embroil all the Cen
trail American countries, and he believed
the first attack would be on Salvador.
In speaking of his own movements Vas
auez said he did not intend to allow him
self to be The pretext for trouble to a
country which had received him with so
The United States as soon as possible. and
thence he Will travel to Europe.
He does not expect to remain away from
Honduras very long, because he is con-
vinced his country will need him, and he
is prepared to answer the first call.
The conversation turned to the late war
and VasQueZ said his troops fought well,
but they were completely outnum bered.
He declared he knew General Cordoya
we'll and was certain he would 90 all in
his power to avert civil strife of any Kind.
Before the war the financial condition
of the country was good, but there is no
money now.
Vasquez said he expected a revolution
in Nicaragua before long. because the
whole country is dsaffected and in bad
condition financially.
He was asked what he thought of a
Central American union. and be replied
that unless some very strong man like
Ezeta should take hold of the project it
was impracticable.

PROTECTING INDIANS.
Commissioner Browning to Cut
Down Agents Fees.
More Reservation Lands Will Soon
Be Thrown Open for Public
Settlement.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The question
of ratiying the contract made by the Mo-
doc and Klamath Indian tribes and the
Yahooskin band of Snake Indians of
Oregon and their agents is now awaiting
action by the Interior Department. The
contract stipulates for services to be rem
dered by the latter in prosecuting the
claims of Indians against the United States
arising from an alleged error in the survey
of the outboundarieS of the Klamath Res
ervation in Oregon. 1t is provided that
one agent be given a commission Of II per
cent of the lands, which are valued at
$500, 600 to 100000 Commissioner of In
dian Affairs Browning recently recon-
mended the reduction of the commission
5 per cent The outboundaries were
established by the survey made in 1871,
and as the result of a contention. which
once threatened to end in a serious conflict
between the Indians and the settlers, the
Land Commissioner recommended a re-
survey. The case will be decided in few
days.
McRae has introduced in the House a
bill providing that all lands included
within the limits of any Indian reserva-
ton, the disposal of which has been or
may be authorized by treaty with any
Indian tribe, or by any law of the United
States. and not already opened, shall be
open to settlement under the provisions of
the bill. The Secretary of the Interior is
authorized to cause public survey of all
the lands in the reservations referred to
where not already done. The President
is authorized to attach any reservation or
any part thereof to any existing contigu-
Gus land district. or may organizr separate
land districts. A provision is made for
the disposition of all lands in the reser-
vations not needed for the allotment to
Indians.
The consideration of bills for the ratf-
cation of the treaties between Government
commissions and various Indian tribes for
he REIMBURSEMENT of lands by the House
Indian Affairs Committee has resulted in a
determin alton by the committee of a new
policy. One feature will be TO require
settlers on lands purchased or otherwise
acquired from Indians to be resident of the
lands taken for three years instead of four
teen months. as now, with the privilege
thereafter OF paying certain amount and
obtaining a title.

ROME, March 9.-One of the men
wounded by Tie explosion yesterday died
this morning. The police are convinced
the intention was to blow up the Chamber
of Deputies because it was discussing the
question of the punishment of the leaders
of the disturbance in Sicily, and that il
was prevented by the fortunate circum-
stance of an early adjournment. because
Premier Crispi had cold and could not
answer the questions, notice Of which had
been given.
II appears that the bomb was hidden in
a high hat. Two more of the wounded are
much worse to-day.
The Pope Is deeply interested 10 learn

archists tried hard TO foment general re-
volt. but failed. Maleto did not believe a
civil war was likely to happen in Italy,

LOSSES. TO THE BRITISH.
Thirty Men Surrounded by Abor
Tribesmen and Slain.

CALCUTTA, March 9.-Dispatches from
the scene of operations by the British
against the Abor tribesmen announce seri-
Gus losses TO the British. Captain Max
well, with a force supposed to consist of
sixty men, was sent after the triEesmen,
and mas been so hard pressed that he was
forced to retreat, after the loss of a num-
Der of men, after destroying his fortified
camps.
A detached party of thirty men and four
officers in Assam. escorting the provision
train, were surrounded by thousands OF
tribesmen, ana, after two days resis tance,
all were killed. The entire AbOr expedi-
tion is in a most critical situation. Re-
endorsements are being hurried forward
in the hope of rescuing Maxwell's column.
1t appears there has been i'll feeling be-
tween the sepoyS and native coolies and a
serious fight occurred, during which fifteen
se9oys and fifteen camp followers were
massacred by the coolies. 1t is believed
the massacre was preconcerted.
