HAVANA, Dec. 1S.-The insurgents,

the Spaniards have been utterly
unable to check their progress since
they crossed the frontier of Santa

Every thing shows the insurgents to be
moving toward Matanzas, and Campos
is on his way there to take command of
the Spanish forces to meet those oil

RED THUNDER IN JAIL.
The Old Chief Led the Recent
North Dakota Uprising.
Although Eighty-E,ght Years Old He Is
Making Lots OF Troubie-Bas Killed
Seven Indian Braves and
Ono White Man.

Red Thunder, one of the belligerent
leaders of the recent Indian uprising in
the Turtle mountains, is imprisoned in
the Ramsey county Jail, near DEVILS
Lake, N. d. The old man, who is IS
years old, has had stormy and event
full career. Red Thunders tribe was
once part of large band of Indians.
the majority of whom are now located
on the Red Lake and White Earth res
ervatious, in North Dakota. His office
has been that of orator for band of
Chippewas, although he is himself
full-blooded Cree and is a type of the
simon-pure nborigine, He has never
submitted with good grace to the en-
croachments made by the pale faces
upon the vast territories once held by
the Indians in undisputed sway. Born
in the Pembina mountains in 1907, he
has passed his life in that region lying
between there and the Turtle noun
tains. Descended from long line of
chiefs, counselorS, or petty chiefs, he is
possessed of a proud and warlike
spirit, and looks upon the white man as
a trespasser whose only right is that of
might.
He has wife as years old, forty
three years younger than himself, and
five children, three daughters and two
sons. Three times he has journeyed to
Washington to negotiate treaties for
his tribe. He boasts of having killed
seven Indians and one white man. The
latter was one of band of horse
thieves near Fort Chapel and was shot
in self defense. HIS Indian vic
Tins, four Sioux, two eros yentres, and
one Assinaboine were killed in tribal
wars.
Red Thunder is nearly six feet tall
and was once man of massive proper
tions The sheriff has found the old
man a model prisoner. He is suffering
from a-ehest trouble which the physi-
clans say will develop into pneumonia
The captive longs for his freedom
though he refuses to take any exercise
around the jail.
The trouble which led to the i'm
prisonment of Red Thunder was caused
by contest for certain lands in the
state.
When, in 1881, the interior depart
ment determined to open for settlements

the large tract lying west of the Red
River valley, including the Devils lake
and Turtle mountain regions, these In
dams set up formal claim to the en-
tire tract, amounting 10 about 5000, 600
acres. In treating with them at that
time the Indian commissioners offered
them a reservation, it is said, of twenty
townships, including the present town
sites of Rolla and st. John, lying along
the Canadian boundary and taking in
the eastern half of the Turtle noun
tains. Two years later, however, this
reservation was cut down to two town
ships, its present size, and the claim
now made by the band is for a restora-
ton of their reserve to it's original size
and for the payment of a bounty of
81 900, 900 in annual payments extend
ing through twenty years, for the re.
linquishment of the larger tract.
Though a party of three commission
ers sent to make an investigation three
years ago reported favorably to the
claims of these Indians, men who are
well acquainted with the origin and
history of this particular band main
! tain that they have no valid claim.
| This view is held on the ground that,
had these Indians settled on the White
Earth reservation when it was set aside
for them they would now be as well
provided for and as prosperous as any
of the White Earth Indians.
The Indians have been upheld in their
position chiefly through John B. Bot
tineau, half breed, who is their attor-
ney, and who spends most of his time
at Washington urging their claims be-
fore the interior department His home
is in Minneapolis. Whatever may be
the merits of the claims he represents,
} it is certain that the Indians place
, great confidence in him, being guided
by his advice in every move. White
settlers in that region therefore accuse
Bottineau of being responsible for the
1 constant agitation OF the trouble with
! the Indians and breeds, by whom they
) are harassed and frequently driven
! from the claims upon which they have
made filings, The Indians themselves
: refuse to take out naturalization papers
and make filings on the lands they in.

lawyer that such action would ieop.

metropolitan see,with Right Rev. DIR.
Williams its first archbishop.
The history of the diocese of Boston,
says Leslie's Weekly, during the TWEEN
ty-nine years of Archbishop Williams
episcopate has been record of un-
preccdented Catholic progress in New
England, made with so little ostenta-
ton that it is hard to realize how rapid
and solid it has been. The two great
monuments of his episcopate are the
Cathedral of the Holy Cross and St.

Brighton district of Boston. The
cathedral is equaled in spaciousness
and beauty by few Of the Catholic
churches in this country, and sur

The water used to obtain pure ice

O protective layer of asbestos, for the

woman responded to the call for
money with q contribution of $40, 900.
This time she had given $500 for
the cause. Soldiers in the army do
not receive any pay beyond the
amount necessary to procure their
rations and clothing. The reason for
this is simply the poverty of the Gov
ernment, and that poverty is due
directly to the drain upon their re-
sources to pay the indemnity due to
France as result of the last war.
Their one source of revenue of any im-
portance is the customs duties, and in
order to insure or guarantee the pay
ment of the indemnity these duties
are, and have been for several years,
under the control of the French.
The Malagasy are fortunate in hav.
ing at the helm of State a wise and
cool-headed statesman who has
measured arms with the cleverest
diplomats of his time. Admiral Gore
Jones, of the British Navy, had occa'
sion to pay an extended visit to the
Court of Imerina. In his notes OF
his visit he says of the Hova Premier
"He is one of the ablest men I evel

tie. Though slavery exists in NADIA
gascar only in name. the fruits OF the
labor of these people bring in good
returns. In addition to the service
the officers are compelled to render
their country, they are also expected,
and sometimes forced, to contribute a
portion of their income to the Gov
ernment exchequer. For instance,
should the Government need money
with which to purchase arms for the
soldiers, q special tax is levied, and
each one is made to pay two cents per
head for each slave owned and the
same on each head of cattle. Some
times it happens that on this basis one
person will pay on slaves alone nearly
S4OO. The slaves are captiTes from
rebellious tribes. They are bought
and sold. but not abused.

One of the greatest ambitions of a
