Owing to the hardness Of issuing the
proclamation opening the Yankton re-
seryation to settlement. much uneasl-
ness and ili-feeling is being engendered
among intending settlers. To make
matters worse it now leaks out that the
state land commissioner is likely to pre-.
empt $1,000 acres of the best OF the re-
manning 100000 acres, for school land
purposes, if he has not already done 80.
Settlers are inclined to believe that the
delay In issuing the proclamation is to
give the state land commissioner time to
make his filings on these land for the
STATE. This is SD exasperating the in
tending settlers that they are now erect
ing clain. shanties all over the reserva-
ton and on the strength OF squatters'
rights will contest the commissioners
title to these lands. 1t is charged that
the state has relinquished $4,000 acres Of
poorer land in other parts OF the state,
in order to get this better land and that
the state land commissioner has made q
deal with the authorities at Washington
whereby the proclamation is TO be with.
held until the Q filings can be made.
This, however, ! is questionable. The
lands recently relinquished by the state
were reservation lands which could not
be taken for this purpose and Commis.
sioner Ruth was ordered to restore them
- the public domain, which has been
but recently done under Commissions
LOCkhart. The same objection stands
in the treaty with the Yankton Indians
andit is not at all probable that tbs

Gubernatorlal Expressions on the

Gubernatorlal Expressions on the
 Subject of Cuba's Freedom.
 The Chicago Tribune, in feeling the pulse of the nation anent freedom for Cuba, inquired through it's correspond ents of the governors of the states and territories in the Union, sskinQ of each executive hls opinion as to the proper course to be adopted by the United States government. A few of the re. pelies were evasive most were strongly in favor of recoQnition by our govern meut of the belligerent rights of the revolutionists.
 Governor Hughes of Ar1zona express e l himself as follows:
 ssCuba is as much entitled to her liberty as were the colonies of 1776. The excessive taxation and minimum of representation in the councils of the Spanish kingdom would seem sufficient if none others existed. Further, l con- sider it only a matter of tune when Cuba will become state Of the Amerl- can Union. Like Texas, when lnde- pendence has been won by sheer force of endurance against the power ot the mother country, it's people will natur- ally seek the shelter of the great north ern republic The result, too. will be expedited by the great influx of Ameri' cans who, with independence, would flock to Cuba. In the accomplishment of these ends, however, see no way IT which the United States government can be g party to it. To Spain, friend ly and not overpowerful nation, the most scr,1pulous justice should be se cured. The laws of nations must be strictly observed despite the undoubteo and logical bias of the people of tht Union toward freedom and against alieI and monarchiaI government"

COAHUILLA FIRE DANCE.
An Interesting Feature of the San

An Interesting Feature of the San
 RernardIno Fiesta.
 San Bernardlno correspondence of the Alameda Enclnal: One of the most interesting features of the entertain ments was the Coahuilla fire dance, that occurred on Tuesday evening, which was witnessed by thousands of spectators, who will long remember the weird, unnatural spectacle. F
 A huge log fire was built in the center of the arena, around which circled forty duskv braves, painted to represent various animals, which they also at, tempted to initiate in movement and action, keeping step meanwhile to the monotonous chant of an equal mum mber of squaws in the background. As the flames arose higher and the heat became intense, the more rapid and violent be. came the motions of the savages. and the nearer they approached the burning pile, until finally dropping upon then knees, they threw handsful of dust and sand upon the flames to extinguish them, handling with impunity the smoldering brands and live coals, which they gath cred by the handful, throwing them over their persons. putting them into then mouths, ard actually rolling upon them in perfect frenzy of savage glee.
 A similar dance was witnessed by your correspondent during the Colum bian Ex position, participated in by the Van couver island Indians, upon the eve ol their departure home, after an absence of several months, there being, in ges ture and general appearance, striklns resemb blance between them and the Go ahuilla tribe.
