SAC. 600. 900 is Saved.

Washington, March 4.-Decisions
have just been rendered in the United
States supreme court which save the
government from paying out fully
$40, 900, 900, and which involve questions
of Importance, not only to the govern
ment, but to severel Thousand claim
ants The cases referred to were those
of Marks against the United States
and the Bannoclk Indians, and Leigh
ton against the United States and the
Ogallalla Sioux tribe. These cases.
together with the case of johnson
against the United States and the
Utes, affect between four and
five thousand claims pending against
the government at Washington in the
court of claims for Indian depredations.
They involved the question: of what
constitutes state of amity between
the United States and an Indian tribe.
la the act of 1891 transferring the
jurisdiction of all these Indian depre-
dationS claims to the court of claims,
provision was made for allowed claims
to go to Judgment unless the claimants
or the encouragement elected to re-
open the cases to the same defenses
that other cases were subject to. The
supreme court declared that the
phrase sin amity with the United
States" was not the equivalent of
treaty relations. In Leighton's case
the court held that, as the claimant
elected to reopen the case on the facts,
he could not qualify his election, and
that, when the case was reopened on
the facts, the government had the
right to consider it reopened on the
law. The effect of the decision in
Leighton's case is that the same
1efenses are applicable in other re-
opened cases, which will now be
thrown out. The amount sought to
be covered by the 10000 cases now on
file is something over $4,000, 900.

one to the effect that Gen. Baratieri
had committed suicide, being unable to
endure the humiliation of his defeat.
Second Serious Defeat.
This is the second crushing defeat
that the Abyssinians have inflicted
upon the Italians since the latter
attempted to extend their power in
the domain of King Menelik. About
three months ago five companies OF
italian troops, under command of Maj.
Tosselli, were surprised and surround
ed by force of 10000 Abvssinians.
The Italians made a desperate
resistance and fought until their
ammunition was exhausted, when the
Abyssinians charged upon them and
massacred nearly the whole force.
Fourteen Italian officers and over 700
men were killed. Only a small
number of Italians succeeded in break
ing through the beleaguering lines
and making their escape to Makalle.
Subsequently the Abyssinians besieged
Makalle, and after practically reducing
it allowed the garrison to evacuate the
place with their arms and baggage,
Afterward several minor engagements
were fought, with varying success,
until Sunday, when the Abyssinians
inflicted another and worse defeat
upon the combined Italian forces.
Many RumOrs Current.
Among the many rumors current to-
day is one saying that the cabinet ten
dered their designations to King Hum
bert, but that his majesty refused to
accept them. Another says that Gen.
Baratieri will be recalled from Abys-
sinia and tried by a court martial.
Military experts regard the retreat OF
the Italians as worse than their defeat,
they having abandoned more than 100
miles of territory. 1t is uncertain
whether they still hold Adigrat. A
late dispatch from Massowah states
that Gen. Arimondi is also missing

It was stated in Philadelphia ship
ping circles this week that the opera
tors of the Siberian railroad, now in
course of construction from the Black
sea across to Vladivostock, had placed
large order in Philadelphia for loco
motives, and that the British whaleback
steamship Turret Bell had been char
tered to land the first cargo there in
February. The Siberian railroad, when
completed, will be one of the longest in
existence; its tracks will extend across
$500 miles Of territory. The construc-
tion of this road will have the effect of
opening up that part of the country,
and will render possible, at compare
lively small expense, the shipment of
material and products from the Pacific
TO the Black sea districts.
