Mexico population of S27S-in all n
population of 1924 All are citizens
of the United States. The allotment
of the lands of the Moqui Pueblos
(which, in the case of the Pueblos, can
only be done by themselves), com
pelling the holders to reside upon
them, would abolish the villages and
pueblos, disperse these Indians and
make them dependents.
According to Special Agent Donald
son, the over description of the
Pueblo villages give one false ideas.
On visiting them after reading books
on the subject one feels disappointed.
The Moqui pueblos of Arizona are
dead looking and dreary, and but for
the bright costumes of the people the
scene would be dismal Their meth
ods and institutions, however, never
lose interest.
Many of the stories told of these
people are legends. According to re-
ports of special agents, the much
written about sacred fires of the
Moqui Pueblos and Pueblo Indians
have gone out, if they were ever
lighted, and cannot now be found.
The beautiful legend of the Pueblo
looking from the roof of his house for
the coming of Montezuma with the
rising sun fades upon investigation
into the hungry Indian on the roof
early in the morning, scanning the
horizon for his goats and donkeys. In
some caess the Indians have been
driven to the roof for fresh air. The
adobe huts have no ventilation, and
they are indescribably filthy. Special
Agent Poore saw neither sacred fires.

The Indians are famous for games
and dances and serpent festivals. As
''spectacles" the dances are generally
failures. The music is wretched, the
bowling unbearable and the natural

dance begins. The camera DESTROYS
all the romance of the dances.
The Indians are experts in handling
rattlesnakes. The snake dance is to
propitiate the water god or snake
deity, whose name is sBa-ho-la-con-gua.
The ceremonies prior to the public
exhibition OF the dance occupy eight
days. The priests prepare a liquor
which is said to be an infallible an

NEW YORK. Aug. %. - The steamer
Alena, from Central American ports, ar
rived i'll New York to-day. She was at
Colon and Port Linon when the trouble
between the residents and the Nicaraguan
Government occurred, and among her pas
sengers from Port Limon to Kingston were
the Mosquito chief. Clarence, and half a
hundred refugees.
They had been brought from BluefeIds
by the British cruiser Mohawk, which, in
conjunction with the United States gun
boat Marhlehead. has been protecting the
foreign residents of the Mosquito terri
tory. Chief Clarence and his followers
were transferred to Jamaica at the ex-
pense of the British Government. On
board the Alena the MOSQUITO chief proved
an object of interest and amusement to the
other passengers. Chief Clarence, ac-
cordiDg to the story of one OF the passen-
gers, used to strut about the deck arrayed
in gay attire made up of a navy officers S
trousers and an army officers coat. He is
described by the passengers as being
about 20 years of age. with a very dark
skin and very pronounced negro type of
face. a person of more than average intel
ligence for the natives of the Mosquito
coast.
While the Marblehead was at Port
Limon with English and American refu-
gees aboard, the British cruiser ran down
the coast chasing schooners or which were
supposed to be some refugees made pris-
Oners by the Nicaraguan Government.
The Mohawk overhauled three coasting
vessels and boarded them, but did not find
any prisoners. She then returned to Port
Limon. This was after the Nicaraguans
had arrested the American and British
merchants.
The refugees were transferred from the
United States gunb to the Mohawk,
and were sent TO Jamaica by the Alena.
1t was Ehe opinion of the officers and pas
sengers of the Alena that but for the
measures taken by the two vessels there
would have been some loss of life, as the
Nicaraguan officials showed disposition
to deal with those who opposed them in
the customary Central American way.
They have a rapid transit method of
dealing with political prisoners down
there" said one of the passengers on the
Alena. 1.-The Nicaraguan soldiers are
very little better than the Indians, and
they are handy with the machate, and can
lop off the head Of an enemy at one cut.
They do not stand on ceremony. and they
would as soon kill man as eat breakfast
The only thing that restrained them was
the presence of the men-of-war and the
fear of consequences should they resort to
any extreme measures"
The white residents of Bluefelds owed
their safety to the men-Of-war, for the
Nicaraguans seemed to consider all white
men their enemies.

The United States Will Protect Her

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-The State De-

the situation In Nicaragua with Jealous
eyes and firm determination that eyery
American citizen who has incurred the iii
will of the Nicaraguan Government shall

taken by the Nicaraguan troops at Blue
fields have arrived at Greytown. Included
in the number were two American citizens.

The State Department has been seeking
to establish communication with United
States Minister Baker at Managua, but so
far without success. and it is feared he
may be i'll. 1t is the desire of the depart
ment to instruct Mr.. Baker TO look into
the circumstances of the arrest of the
Americans and report promptly to the de-
partment While Americans in Bluefields
are warned by our Government to keep
out of the squabble between Clarence and
the Nicaraguans under penalties of Mica

that the arrests of the Americans were

If the men have violated the local law

cannot consistently object to their punish

The thieves then made an effort to get out

Before the robbers had gone far the citi-

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2S.-The health

There are no longer any doubts that his

He has grown thin, his complexion is

of a man who is greatly fatigued.
This was commonly remarked on among
the spectators at the recent launching of

Professor Teaccbarius was summoned

dispatch announced that after three days
