Choctaw Council Pa Laws for Pun
ishing It's Advocates.
PARIS, Tex, Nov. 12.-The Choctaw
council, instead of showing a DISPOSE
ton to accede to the proposition of the
Dawes commission to allot their lands,
have displayed the most violent opposi-
ton to it. Many of the most intelligent
and progressive of the tribe have been
favoring allotment, which has had the
effect Of stirring up the full bloods. A
bill. was passed making it treason for
any citizen of that nation to talk allot-
nent, either publicly or privately any
where in the Indian Territory. The
penalty for the first offense is 100 lashes
and six months imprisonment; for the
second offense it is death, without the
benefit Of trial. The leader of the
opposition to the bill declared that its
passage meant the breaking up of the
tribal government, and also declared
that this was the last session of the
Choctaw council that would ever be
held. Feeling is running high over the
passage of the measure, and bloody
factional war is predicted.

Cuban Patriots Do Not Now
Care for the Rights of
Belligerents.
It Would Hurt More Than Help
Them, 1t Is Contended by
Many.
An American Vessel Boarded
and Searched by Spanish
Cruiser.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-President
Thomas Estrada Palma, the head of the
Cuban revolutionary party, will come
10 Washington within the next few
days. 1t is expected that his visit will
result in more definite line OF policy
regarding what Cubans will suggest or
urge upon congress as the most desirable
course for the United States to adopt.
Mr.. Palma is not only the president
of the American branch of the Cuban
organization, but he has recently re-
ceived commission from the inSurg-
ent government in Cuba constituting
him their official representative in the
United States. Under these cir
cumstances movement is on foot to
have Mr.. Palma remove his headquar-
ters from New York to Washington, to
be near the seat of government while
the Cuban question is under discussion.
Are Not Anxious for Recognition.
Thus far the policy of the Cubans has
been towards securing from the United
States recognition of the belligerent
rights Of the insurgents. Now, how
ever, there is said to be an influential
element against this course. They say
it would prove disastrous to American
shipping, as it would permit Spain to
seize American merchant ships sus-
pected Of carrying contraband goods on
the high seas, whereas these seizures
cannot be made at the present time out
side the three mile limit Of the Cuban
coast
should Forcibly Stop the War.
Instead of recognition to the insur-
gents, it is being urged that the United
States should adopt steps to put an end
to the struggle in Cuba by forcible in
tervention if necessary, as was proposed
by President Grant in 1876, during the
last Cuban uprising. This question
will be among those to come before
President Palma when he reaches
Washington. The report that General
Maceo had been commissioned to come
to Washington in behalf of the insur.
gents is regarded as untrue by those
best informed of the course of the Cuban
leaders.

JUST LIKE A WOODEN INDIAN
Statue of Washington Used rs Cigar
Sign in Harlem.

Sign in Harlem.
New YORK, Nov. 12.-The discovery
has been made that the giant statue of
Washington, erected by the citizens of
New York in 1892, is doing service as a
cigar sign in Harlem. 3Ae statue,
which is a fine wood carving, formerly
held a conspicuous place in Battery
park. In lS45 it was sold at public
auction to collector Of curios for
$500. Since then it has passed through
many vicissitudes. Recently it was
unearthed in cellar by D. j. Shift, a
cigar dealer of Harlem. The statue in
its present condition presents curious
mixture of art and humor. Across the
abdomen there is a deep fissure, con-
cealed by some very dirty bunting, ar.
ranged in the form of sash, while here
and there small pieces Of the oak have
been gouged out.
The attention of the patriotic societies
has been called to the weather-beaten
monument.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE American

Spanish officers had been informed
were on board the vessel The brig
was ransacked from stem to stern, but

news from Constantinople indicates
that even the foreigners are in danger

ures to defend the lives and the prop

The Constantinople correspondent of
The Times says: The diplomatic corps
consider the lives of the Christians en-
dangered throughout all the Asiatic
provinces, but it is not believed that
they are in any especial danger at Con-
stantinople, because the members of the
palace clique are not likely to initiate
any anti Christian movements, and the
members of the Mahommedan constiz
tutional party advocate the adoption of
policy giving Christians share in the
government. The natural tendency in
consequence is the coalition of the
Mahommedan constitutional party
with the Armenians. and in fact
there are signs indicating that such a
coalition would be likely to occur under
circumstances in any degree favorable.

INDIAN WAR SURVIVORS,

An Estimate of the Number of Persons
Entitled to Pensions FOR Indinn Service.
WAsuISGroS, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
status OF pensioners OF Indian wars is
discussed in report made by Repre-
sentative Tawney, OF Minnesota, upon
tho bill introduced by Representative
Hermann. OF Oregon, and favorably re-
ported from the committed on pensions.
Its purpose il 10 enlarge the scope OF
the net granting service pensions to tho
survivors OF the wars from 1882 to 1872
so that it will include the veterans OF
all recognized Indian wars up to 1856.
Tho committee finds that there re-
main on the rolls OF tho pension Office
but five survivors and l20 veterans
widows OF tho Seminole war OF lSl7.lS.
OF tho Lafevre Indian war, which &C.
Cured si1ty.ciSht years ago, there are
fourteen survivors and l07 widows;
from the Sabine war OF 1885, 22l sur.
vivors and l5j widows; the Cayuse war
OF lSi7.4S. l4i survivors and eighty-two
widows; Texas and New Mexico Indian
wars, l,+iS survivors and 500 widows;
California Indian wars, 41G survivors
and go widows; wars of the territories

1889 survivors and $40 widows.
In many regiments serving in those
wars the rolls contain ropctitions caused
by re-enlistments in different com.
panics, and this. it is estimated, will re-
ducc tho number OF beneiiciaries at
least 700, making the total number OF
the survivors OF these wars about 4, 900.
