oregpn,. Indian Reservation.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Question
of ratifyiag ,ne contract made by the
Modoc and klamath Indian tribes and
the Yahoos and baud of Snake Iadians,
of Oregon, and their agents IS pending
action by the interior department. The
contract stipulates for services to be rem
dered by the latter in prosecuting the
claims of the Indians against the Uuited
States, arising from an alleged error IN
the survey oil the out boundaries OF the
Klamath reservation In Oregon. 1t is
provided that one agent be given com.
mission of 12 per cent of lands which are
valued at 100000 to 100000 Com.
missioner of Indian Affairs Browning
recently recommended reduction of the
commission to per cent. The out
boundaries were established by survey
made in 1871, and, as a result of the
contention which once threatened to end
in a serious conflict between the Indians
and settlers, the land commissioner
recommended resurvey. The case will
be- decided In few days.

The second message:
"Da Gams has gone aboard the Portu.

Considerable surprise was expressed
here that the offer of surrender should
have been made through the Portuguese
commander, who has not shown any
particular disposition to take q hand in
the conflict. 1t is not thought, however.
that the action of the Portuguese IN re-
ceiVing Da Cana is necessarily an act of
sympathy with the insurgents. The
Portuguese are said to recognize prin-
ciple of international law, now absolute,
by which the right of asylum is granted
temporarily by neutral power to de >

from the chimney on top of T. NJ, Wingate
