Brewing.
NAY CARRY OUT THEIR THREAT!
The Indians Are Expected to Act at
the Expiration Of the Twenty.
One Days Notice Given.

Chamberlain, S. D., Sept. 1.-THE
Brules ut Rosebud agency have as yet
made no attempt to carry out their
threat to burn the agency, but have left
the agency without disbanding, which
is inteself significant omen Of their
temper. TIL eofiicials ut Rosebud agen
cy refuse to discuss the situation, but
enough is learned to demonstrate that
no immediate trouble of a serioous na-
ture is anticipated, and it is believed
that matters will remain quiet, at least
until the expiration of til etwenty-one
days in which the United States Indian
agent and his employees We're given to
vacate the agency. Old frontiersmen
residing adjacent to the reservation
and who are perfectly familiar with
the Indian character, anticipate great
trouble Mt that time. Indian Agent
Wright probably has the best Indian
police force on the reservation, and
feels confident that h evil be able to
maintain order. The settlers living
along the bordr of the reservation are
still very uneasy. 1t has developed
that the trouble has been brewing
since July 5. The facts that Fort Oma
ha, Noibrara and Robinson are within
easy reach Of anticipated trouble will
render it an easy matter to take such
precautions ao may be deemed ncces-
sary to prevent, IL possible, any loss Of
life or damage to government proper

Bad Men I'm Florida Murder and
Slaughter the Blacks.
Westville, Fla. Sept. 12-Yesterday
morning two negroes were shot to
death and several wounded by a band
Of masked men in the northern part
of Holmes county, near a large saw
mill owned by Graves T. Beatty. The
firm employs many negroes and ope-
rates a short railroad. A freight cur
had been fitted up with hunks and
within this about thirty negroes sleep.
Yesterday morning early the car
where the negroes were sleeping was
surrounded by masked men, who I'M
mediately opened fire with Winchest-
ers. The shots brought Graves, Beat
ty and number of white employees
to the scene, and the masked men
fled. Examination showed that Henry
johnson and Sam Evans. negroes, had
been killed, and that dozen had been
wounded, some of whom will die. The
attack has SO terrorized the negroes
that they have refused to work for
Graves 4 Beatty longer, and to-day
about fifty of the saw mill hands ar
rived here. 1t is thought that the at
tack was instigated by white men who
had been discharged.

VICTORY FOR LIBERTY.

Cubans Thump the Spaniards and
Puerto Principe Is Captured.
New York, Sept. PA special from
Havana under date of Aug. 80, says:
There is q report about town that a
great battle has been fought in Puerto
Principe, and that the Spanish have
been defeated aud the capital captured
by the insurgents. 1t is said that u
strong force of Spanish troops left the
city Of Puerto Principe to make q
bold attack upon the insurgents, who
were besieging the town. The in.
surgents fled after making a weak re-
sistance, but it was only to draw the
Spanish into an ambuscade. Once In
the trap the Spanish were attacked in
front by Gen. Antonio AIaceo and in
the rear by Gen. Gomez. The rebel
forces obtained a complete victory and
entered the capital triumphant, A.
600 strong.
How near the truth this statement
is cannot be ascertained, but Gen.
Campos' immediate departure for
Neuvitas the very day he arrived
here is suggestive of something very
serious having happened.

They Must Have Wheat.

Washington. Sept. 12.-Only $780,
800 in gold was withdrawn from the
New York subtreasury. which leaves
the true amount of gold reserve S97.-
544,666. Treasury officials show no
uneasfness on account of the depletion
Of the reserve. They argue that the
situation is brought about solely by
speculation. and that there is no legit-
innate reason for gold going abroad at
this time. The movement of the cotton
crop is now under way, and this,
added to the grain shipments of the
Northwest, which must soon set in.
it is said, is sure to overcome any
