ASKED FOR OMAHA TROOPS
Indian Agent Has Job that is Too Large
for His Force.
REGULARS NEEDED TO GUST souAT1ER;
superintendent of the yankton Reservation
Says He Must Have Soldiers to Carry
Out the Orders Issued by
the Government.

ARMOUR, s. D., March 29.-The attempt
OF the state Of South Dakota to file on $4,000
acres Of the best land in the Yankton reser-
walton is arousing bitter opposition. School
Commissioner Lockhart rendered the regis
ter of the land Office at Mitchell, S. D., the
fees, amounting to about $500. The regis
ter declined to receive them holding that the
proposed action was expressly forbidden in
the treaty. The Yanktons themselves are
determined TO prevent the proposed action
and have signed vigorous protest to the
president. This has been put in the hands

General j. A. Smith, superintendent of the

department at Washington this morning that

force of Indian police, the squatters refusing
10 leave the reservation. Assistance will
De necessary to enforce his orders that squat
ters must leave the reservation.
General Smith says troops be brought
mere In twenty-four hours from Omaha by
rail, and that is the nearest available point
where troops are stationed. He says he can
40 nothing with the squatters now, as he
mas only fifteen or twenty Indian police, and
is utterly powerless. The situation will be
believed here that the Indian police have no
authority to eject the boomers anyway.
There is small but steady stream of boomers
going on today
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Agent j. A.
Smith Of the Yankton reservation In South
Dakota, telegraphed the Interior department
today that large number of settlers have
squattei on the reservations and that they
have been ordered off, but that the order
could not be enforced. Later he sent the
following dispatch
The state of South Dakota has taken steps
to appropriate a large part of this land for
school purposes in violation of the agree
ment between the government and the In
dians. The Indians protest against this ac-
tion and concur
No action has yet been taken on either of
these dispatches Secretary Smith said to-
night that law and order must be enforced
at the reservation at all hazards, and that
all assistance found necessary for the pro-
lection Of the agency and the Indians would
be given by the department. The land which
the state is seeking to appropriate to its own
use is the most desirable on the reservation,
and the department will take prompt steps
to secure the defeat of the states plan. The
reservation will soon be opened to settlement

MoRRILL's TELEoR4M VAS LOST

Governor OF Kansas Asks tho Telerra nh
Company to Find Missing Dispatch.
TOPEKA, March 29.-According to the
denials at Washington it would seem that
the dispatch sent by Governor Morrill, pro-
testing against the court-martial by the
French authorities in Madagascar of ex-
United States Consul Waller Of Kansas had
gone astray. There being some intimation
that the dispatch had never been sent at
all and that 1t was the work of sensational
correspondents, an Associated press repre-
sentative called on Governor Morrill, this
afternoon and learned from the governor
evening, March 25 The record of the tele-
graph office which handled the dispatch
shows that the telegram was sent at 9:OG
p. M on Monday. Governor Morrill, has
asked the telegraph company to trace the
dispatch.
CHICAGO March pa special to the
News from Washington says: "Accepting in
full the statement of the attorney of ex-
Consul Waller, who Is imprisoned in NADIA
gascar," said State department official
today, ut is difficult for us to see any
grounds upon which the United States gov
ernment can interfere.
He deliberately neglected every act by
which he could retain citizenship and his
actions clearly indicated his intention to
reside in Madagascar. His private enter
prise, backed principally by British capital.
was presumably to be carried on by Waller

SPAIN rs NOW BEHAVING ALL RreHr
Going the Proper Way to Work to Settle
tho Alliance Incident.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Reports that
the Spanish government is taking steps to
meet the requests OF the United States in
the Allianca affair, that the commander OF
the onending Spanish cruiser has been re-
lieved from his ship and that orders have
been sent to the other Spanish commanders
In Cuban waters to observe the requirements
OF international law and refrain from i'm
proper interference with the ships of the
united states or other foreign nations has
caused much qualification in official circles
mere. Although the State department
offcials refuse to admit the fact, there Is
reason to believe that these matters have
been communicated to them either through
United States Minister Taylor at Madrid or
through Senor Muruaga, the resident Spanish
minister here. There is now no disposition
In any quarter to doubt that the Spanish
assurances are satisfactory as far as they
go and that the incident has already passed
into phase where 1t will lead to adjustment
by ordinary diplomatic methods. There is
little doubt that the new Spanish minister
VIII go to Cuba before coming here. The
effect of this will be to leave Spain without a
minister in the United States after the next
two weeks.
The Spanish legation denies the Florida
reports that an expedition Of 14OO0 revolu-
tionists is about to leave Florida for Cuba
1t Is said, however, that actual enlistments
are now being made in New Orleans. From
the Spanish standpoint the insurrection has
been recognized as existing and reports con-
corning 1t have been made to the State de-
partment The Spanish government, it is
declared, does not intend to carry this
recognition to the point of proclaiming
rebellion to be in existence, as this would be
step toward recognizing the insurgents
cause for Cuban independence 1t Is claimed
also that the State department has in effect
recognized the existence of the insurrecton,
as 1t has invoked the operation of the
protocol of the Spanish treaty, which pro-
tects American citizens In Cuba charged with
sedition, treason or conspiracy against trial
by martial law.
1t is rumored that Cuban revolutionists
nave made indirect efforts to have the United
States recognize them under the law of
nations as belligerents. 1t is not known
however, that they have done more than
urge the justice Of their cause and addressed
members OF congress- and certainly there is
no present prospects of the grant of any
such recognition.

Regarding the reported settlement of the

effect whatever on the situation in Hawaii.
Regarding his own government and It's

NEW YORK, March 29.-The advance in

here which has led to increased strength and
activity In silver certificates. The official
price of silver is fixed at ) D. m. daily in

she Is Stirring Her'elf on Behalf OF tho
Distressed Armeni ians.

LONDON, March 29.-The earl of Kimber-
ley, secretary of state for foreign affairs, in
receiving a deputation from the Armenian
association, expressed warm sympathy with
the object Of the association and said that
the government was doing its best to make
the inquiry into the outrages in Armenia as
thorough and searching as possible. He
added that independent reports would be
made by the European representatives. The
main object in view was to secure I'm the
future protection for the lives, property,
creed and lands Of the Armenian Christians
In this object he was glad to say that Great
Britain had the cooperation OF France and
Russia, both Of which countries were con-
yinced OF the necessity Of reform One OF
the chief problems is how to bring about the
results desired without raising in an acute
form the eastern question. He thought the
time opportune for dealing with the matter
IN such manner as to avoid danger. When
the time came for action the government
would never be found wanting, In conclu-
sion the earl OF Kimberley said that the
government was irrevocably pledged to take

IOWA MINERS AND opEnaroRs MEET.
Both Sides Anxious to Avoid n Strike and
May scttle.

oTTUMWA, Ia. March 29--(specal Tele-
gram.)-A very important conference of coal
operators and representatives OF the United
Mine Workers Of America was held today.
julius Fraum, Seymour; J. w. Reynold,
Beacon; Il ]. Cavanaush, Foster, and j.
L. Clarkson OF Foster are present repre-
senting the miners, being the executive COM
mittee of district No. Al.
The operators were represented by George
W. Trear, vice president of the Whitebreast
Fuel company; II. l.. Waterman, general
manager of the Wapelo Coal company;
Henry Phillips, president of Phillips Fuel
company; Alexander Dargavle Of the Center
Vile Block Coal company: John c. Evans.
smoky Hollow Coal company; and T. j.
Phlllips, general superintendent of the
Whitebreast Coal company.
The meeting was for the purpose of en-
dorsing the proceedings of the minority con-
vention held at Des Moines March 7. when
twenty-three operators wanted to return to
the scale of 1894, viz, so cents and 81 for
mining coal, and forty were in favor of a
uniform scale of 40 cents and so cents all
over the state. The conference was very
friendly, and the miners left the meeting
conhdanr that the operators would give
them their moral support in case a strike
was ordered at Centerville. The most of the
trouble is In the Appancose district, where
all the companies but the Whitebreast and
the Centerville have posted notices that be-
ginning April the scale would be 20 cents
lor summer prices. mass meeting of the
miners will be held at Centerville tomorrow,
when 1t will be decided whether to accept
this cut or strike.
The companies like those in Ottumwa, who
are paying standard scale wages, object
seriously to the competition of those com
panies in the Appanoose. Polk and Boone
districts. who pay but 20 cents and so cents
IL Is said that the miners at some places are
willing to compromise on 30 cents, but the
operators will not compromise. The Center
vile meeting will undoubtedly call a strike
which will call out 5000 men.

cution in the Taylor brothers trial rested last
night and this morning the defense began
their side Of the case. The court room was
crowded as usual, at least 100 women being
present.
Up to the noon recess three witnesses were
examined. The testimony of the first two
was immaterial. and while that of the third,
on direct examination. tended to destroy the
states case against the two prisoners, on
cross examination the witness broke down
completely and contradicted his direct testi-
mony.
After the noon recess Charles Taylor. a
younger brother of the men on trial. and
James G. Taylor, father of the prisoners,
were the principal witnesses for the defense.
charles swore that on the day following the
murder he searched for blood stains on the

any. He was cross-examined at great length
James G. Taylor told how his son George
came to his farm on the evening of Nav IL
ana borrowed his team and wagon to go to
browning. The wagon and team were re-
turned at sunrise the next morning He saw
no evidences that the team had been driven
hard the night before, and there were no
signs OF blood on it. Mr.. Taylor was askd
to explain how the wagon bed came to be
burned after the discovery Of the murder.
and said his grandchildren used 1t for a
play house, and some straw in it might have
been set on fire with matches.
AT the night session Mrs. Dave Gibson tes-
tined that she was at George Taylor's house
the night of the murder. She said she saw
Mr., and Mrs. TAYLOR In bed at midnight that
night George Taylor's wife was the last
witness: She testified her husband came
home about o'clock that night and that he
