Reports from the Choctaw nat

Reports from the Choctaw nation,
in the Indian Territory, point to
serious trouble over the land allotment
scheme directed by congress and in
charge of the Dawes commission. The
council Of the nation has promulgated
decree making it treason to favor
allotment, and furnishing advocating
it, first, with the lash, and, for re-
peating the offence, with death. The
Chickasaw legislature has also passed
bill, DISTINGUISHING '.squaw men,"
white men who have married Indian
squaws) and taking away their rights
of holding lands in the nation, of par
ticipating in annuities and government
funds and of holding official positions.
More than one half of the property in
the nation is owned by this class of
citizens, and the act means the prac-
teal confiscation of millions of dollars
of property.

nIG CROWD At THE HORSE SHOW.
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough
Attracted the Crowd.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The duke and
duchess of Marlborough were among the
guests at the horse show tonight. They ar
rived at Madison Square garden at o'clock
and were the observed of all observers The
scene in the garden when they arrived was
more brilliant than at any time during the
show. The duke and his bride took seats
with Mrs William *. Vanderbilt-not i'm a
box, but in the first row back of the boxes
close Ia the box occupied by George j
Gould. William X, Nardgrb Ii also occupied
box this eyc"inE, i'm company with Mrs
James Waterbury and Mrs. Oliver Harri-
man, jr.
The scene at the garden this afternoon
mad much of the Coor, life and brillinncy
that ChaTacteriZes the crowd in the evening
Almost every box was occupied either by
adults or the children of the box owners
and their GOvernesses. Herman Oelrichs
1r., was among the attractive children pres
ent. lie was accompanied by his aunt Miss
Virginia Fair. The Astors and all the other
leaders of society Were present, so there
was wonderful display OF dress. More
over, the attendance of the rank and file of
New Workers was great on account Of the
expectation that the Marlboroughs would
be visible, so the horses, which ostensibly
form the attraction, were altogether sec
Ondnry IN point Of interest.
No night In the history of New York horse
shows has seen such crowd as that of to-
night, and when the whereabouts Of The
duke and duchess became known their CCr-
ner was besiegei by "A thousand men ana
ing for a glimpse OF the section in which
the nobility sat lrCiiental to the other at
fractions was parade of pri2a winners IN

JAPAN TO BUILD TEN WARsHIps.
Contracts for Them VIII he Distribu-
ted Among Nnrinms Nntions.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 13.-Although
Japanese officials declare that the mikado
will spend 5000 900 900 in war ships 1t is
rumored in advices by the steamer Coptic
today that ten vessels are to be built
abroad. and that possibly the orders for them
will be equally divided among the ship
builders Of England, France, Germany. Italy
and the United States.
Count Okuma objects to the distribution of
prizes, and says in relation to orders for
men-of-war from abroad ii would be advis-
able to give the contracts to any country
that is capable of constructing good vessels
OF new style, without limiting the orders to
any one in particular Leaving aside England
and France, which are known as maritime
provinces. the country should pay regard to
italy, although her shpbuilding capacity is
rot much known to Japan. She is the power
which originated the idea of building the
men-of-war of 10 900 tons and thus com
menced new era in the construction of
war vessels. Count Okuma further SAYS:
Next we should look to the United States
The excellence of her iron work the sta
biltty OF the men-of-war built by her, and the
richness in scientific design, are not only
what Americans are proud of. but even the
old countries of Europe recognize these facts
Moreover the United States is our best Gus
toner in trade, and as her friendship is
tracts should be given. And besides these
countries are England France and Germany
which each boast of their specially. So that
IL ten ships to be built abroad and the
orders are equally distributed among these
five powers, two to each, it would arouse
competition between them and result in the
empires interest"

BOLDLY ATTACKED THE MINISTRY
Rcformist Organ ut HAVANA Creates
Sensation.

HAVANA, Nov. 13.--Diaro Della Marina
the leading reformist organ of Cuba, publishes
an editorial today in which it makes strong
attack upon Senior Canovas del Castillo. the
Spanish premier, directly insinuating that
Captain General Martinez de Campos is
backing his policy. The article also makes
strong charges against the present policy Of
favoring the conservatives and says: "Only
the resignation of Canovas del Castillo can
save us. The rebellion was started in a
small portion of the province of Santiago
de Cuba, and by the policy adopted has in
creased, sweeping like a wave into the prov
inces of Puerto Principe, Santa Clara and
Matanzas and even the province of Plnar
del Rio is threatened"
This article has caused great discussion, as
nobody thought any one would dare to attack
Martinez de Campos and call public atten-
tion to the importance of the rebellion. The
article, under the circumstances, is considered
unpatriotic, and has caused great Indignation
in some quarters.
The statement cabed to the Correspondence
of Madrid from this city, that Maxine Gomez
had been routed, is not true. Gomez has
not yet been attacked by the Spanish forces
ters, at the city of Santa Clara, laying out a
campaign, which should result in big en-
gaEement between the Spanish troops and
the insurgents under Gomez. 1t is thought
pi obable that this will be the decisive battle
of the war in Cuba.
MaXimO Gomez, with 1000 followers, aC-
COrding to reports received here has left
Siguanca and is moving in the direction of
the Remedies district.
