cruelty treating helpless natives Of vii
lagos along the coast. The party had
four days provisions and plenty of am
landing protected by the vessels guns.
The remainder went inland to two VII
lagos, which were captured. The force
remained there that night, but loss of
ammunition and want OF water caused
Capt. Gamble to return to shore. On
the retreat and while surrounded by ris-
ing ground the party was attacked from
ambush. The attack was very severe
and the blue jackets fell on all sides.
The column returned as hastily as
possible carrying their wounded along
as far as possible. But the shore was
not reached till three officers and ten
men were killed and forty wounded.
Lieut.. W. H. Arnold Of the navy, Lieut..
Of Marines N. W. Hervey, and Sub
Lieut.. F. W. Meister were among the
killed; Lieut.. Hon. r. f. Boyle was
dangerously wounded; Lieut.. H. j.

W. r. Hite, Midshipman Arthur Cham
bers, and forty blue jackets were slightly
wounded; ten blue jackets were killed.

day that the wal department question OF
tho local American Protective associa-
ton will turn out to be more serious
than a suit in a justice court for pay

cial sitting probably will be called. The
case will be fully reported to the
attorney general at Washington and

and those who oppose the A. P. A. for
other reasons have become aroused
against the order since the details OF the
gun purchases have been made public,

society in this city where for two years
they have held the balance Of political
power. Some city officials, including
the mayor and police commissioners, are
said to have been among the Number
fearful OF an uprising and had pur-
chased rifles. G.. w. Ostrander, against

An Attempt to Blow Up a Pennsylvania
Railroad Bridge.
LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 23.-An attempt
was made to blow up the Cherry street
bridge over the Pennsylvania railroad.
The instrument used was a bomb made
of gaspipe, sections of which were found
embedded in the superstructure of the
bridge. 20 feet from the point of the
explosion. The bridge is not badly dam
aged, although the conclusion smashed
windows and broke open doors of neigh
boring houses, and tore down telephone
and electric light wires. There is great
excitement over the affair, as it is only
a month since a huge dynamite bomb
was found under the foundation of a
big 4-story brick building adjoining the
police station.

Silver Receives Another Backset by the
Collapse of "a Bull Movement.
New YORK, Feb. 23.-The break in sill
ier in London and the consequent drop
in prices here are said by dealers in this
city to be due to the collapse of the bull
movement being manipulated by Indian
banking houses and mercantile firms on
the strength of a probable duty on i'm
portations to India. The failure of the
Indian council to favor such action and
the fear of other changes likely to be
made in the financial system of India
have, it is thought, brought or a liqui-
dating movement on the part of holders
of silver which brought the heavy fall in
price.

FULL PLEDGED INDIANS,
A Bill To Fix the Status of Mixed
BlOOds,

A Bill to Fix the Status of Mixed
BlOods.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Kyle
has introduced a bill which provides
that in all treaties and statutes of the
United States touching Indian tribes all
mixed blood Indians of whatever degree
living with their tribes and maintaining
tribal relations with such tribes, shall
be considered Indians in the ordinary
acceptance of that term, and entitled to
all all rights and privileges under the
law, the same as Indians of full blood.
The ILL grows out of the recent agita-
ton of the question in connection with
the Waldron decision, which has been
apparently pigeonholed in the depart
ment of justice. The law proposed fixes
the maintenance of tribal relations as
the test and will probably meet with no
opposition.
