CAPTAIN F0LGER'S CHARGE.
HE FAILED TO MAKE OUT A CASE
AGAINST THE YORKTOWN'S
PAYMASTER.
COLLAPSE OF THE CoMMANDER's
SCHEME TO GEORGE HIS
SUBORDINATE.

WASHINGTON, d. O., March 2e.-In-
formation has reached here to the effect
that Captain Folger of the United States
steamship Yorktown, now at Chefoo, has
failed to substantiate the charges made by
him against Past Assistant Paymaster L.
b. Webster, attached to his ship.
The court Of inquiry that was appointed
by Admiral Carpenter to look into the
matter reported that the evidence did not
sustain the charges made by the captain
against the paymaster of being decidedly
under the influence of liquor, and that the
Conduct of the accused in other respects
was not culpable.
The board, however, presented an inves-
tigation of the charges made against the
captain by the statement that no further
proceedings were necessary or advisable.
Admiral Carpenter directed that the pay
master be furnished copy of the report of
the court of inquiry and that he be fully
restored TO duty by the captain.

AFTER THE YANKTON LANDS
SOUTH DAKOTA SCHEMING TO En-
CROACH UPON THE
INDIANS.
SECRETARY SMITH SAYS THAT LAW
AND ORDER WILL BE ENFORCED
AT THE RESERVATION.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 29.-Agent
j. A. Smith of the Yankton reservation in
South Dakota, telegraphed the Interior
Department to-day that large number of
settlers have squatted on the reservation
and that. they have been ordered off, but
the order has not been enforced. Later he
sent the following dispatch:
1.-THE State of South Dakota is taking
steps to appropriate large part of this
land for school purposes, in violation of
the treaty between the Government and
the Indians. This the Indians protest
against, and I concur"
No action has yet been taken on either
of these dispatches. Secretary Smith said
tonight that law and order must be en-
forced at the reservation at all hazards, and
that all assistance found necessary for the
protection of the agency and the Indians
would be given by the department.
The land which the State is seeking to
legislate to its own use is the most de-
sirable on the reservation, and the depart
ment will take prompt steps to secure the
defeat of the States plan. The reservation
will soon be opened to settlement, and a
proclamation declaring it subject to entry
is now pending the action of the President.

of the race. The first word of the armis-
rice reached the legation through the As
ISOLATED Press. Yang Yu had received no
official communication from China, nor
from the State Department. Under these
circumstances he asked TO be excused from
discussing the situation. The numerous
attaches of the legation were evidently
glad that the tedious and diseouraging
struggle was at an end. There was some
doubt as to the meaning of the term fun
conditional" armistiee, although this was
accepted as meaning that recent events,
including probably the shooting of Prince
Ii, have induced the ENJOYS TO agree TO an
armistiee before agreeing exactly on the
terms Of peace.
II is felt that the arrangements of these
terms viii still be a difficult task. The
feeling Ia the interior of China, where the
direct effects of the war have not been felt,
is very strong against cession Of territory.
Moreover, the payment of 8 cash indem-
nifty will neeessitate the imposition Of
heavy taxes on the people and consequent
depression. These considerations, to-
gether with the recent Losses and rayages
of war, make the future of China so prob
lematieal that the officers would not discuss
it, beyond the probabiiitie of resumtng

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, March 29.-No
amendment was offered by the opposition
in the Legislature On the school question,
and after Schultz had given royal assent
to a number Of bills passed, the House adj
iourned until May 8, when Premier Green
way will announce the Governments reply

bers Of the opposition have all agreed with
the Premier that an adjournment was the
wisest course TO take at this critical period.
Immediately upon the adjournment of
the Legislature, Premier Greenway was
called TO the caucus room. where he was
presented with an oil painting of himself,
given by the members OF the Legislature
as a mark of respect and esteem on their
part toward the head Of the Government.
In reply to this the Ministers say there is
no difference of opinion among them. 1t
has been impossible to give the issues in

ment will be in position to go carefully
into the question. and when the House re-

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 29.-The
report Of the Spanish Government taking
steps to meet the requests of the United
States in the Alliance affair that the COM
mander of the offending Spanish cruiser
has been relieved and orders sent to the
other Spanish commanders in Cuban
waters to observe the requirements of
international law and refrain from i'm
proper interference with ships of the

caused much qualification in official cir

Although the State Department declines
to admit the fact, there is reason to be-

Marugua, the Spanish Minister.

NO INVITATION AS YET.
ATTITUDE OF THIS COUNTRY ON
THE MONETARY Con-
FERENCE.
IF THE CALL Is ISSUED THE PROPER
DELEGATES WILL BE Ap-
POINTED.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 29.-The
United States has not yet given any as
surance, other than that contained in the
passage of the Wolcott resolution by Con-
gress, of its readiness to participate in
another monetary conference, the chief
reason perhaps being that as yet it has not
been invited TO such a gathering. There
has been considerable discussion as to the
attitude of the administration in the mat
ter of the conference, and assertions have
been made that the President was not at all
anxious to have one held.
This, there is good authority for saying
is not the policy of the administration.
On the contrary, there is declared to be a
desire to have the conference if there is
any prospect of obtaining results. It is
probable that some expression of fear that
there was not at present much prospect of
anything being done by a conference has
been construed that the administration
was not in favor of such gathering.
1t is impossible to secure confirmation
here of the report from London that the
United States has consented to enter the
proposed international conference, but the
best information obtainable is to the effect
that in case the call is issued the Presi-
dent will, by authority of the law enacted
during the last session. appoint the three
delegates necessary to complete the COM
mission on behalf of this country.
Many of his best friends express the
opinion that he will not forego any oppor-
tunity that promises substantial progress
to promote an international agreement on
this question, but add that he will, in all
probability, prefer to see the terms of the
call before taking action.
Senator Daniel one of the delegates ap-
pointed on behalf of the Senate, was in the
city to-day, and expressed himself as
pleased to hear the report that England
was favorably considering the question of
representation at the conference, and said
he had been fearful that that country
would take position which would render
the conference, If held, incapable of ac-
comprising results. He said also that
while he had no information of which
the public was not in possession he was of
the opinion the conference would be called.
and that the United States would be rem
resented
