WASHINGTON, Dec. 30,-The Crow
Creek Sioux delegation Of South Da-
kota has not gained its announced OBJ
Ject of securing a per capita cash pay
ment Of $187,000, less about $4,000 for
expenses, now to their credit in the
treasury, but they have secured a pay
ment Of about $4 or S. per capita, rep
resenting half of the accrued interest
on the money. The delegates, White
Ghost and VIII, with theiG interpreter
and agent, had a final conference with
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Brown
Ing this afternoon. They recited the
circumstances leading up to the Sioux
treaty of $780, by which they gave up
certain lands, and for which an act was
passed giving them $187, ,000
Commissioner Browning explained
that the money is now in the treasury,
drawing 4 per cent interest, and that
payment must be authorized by legisla-
ton by congress and then ordinarily
only upon a representation that the In
dians need the money He suggested
that there is little time left in the pres
ent session, and that the matter be
dropped for the time being. Payment
of one-half Of the $4,000 interest now
due on the principal, the other half
being reserved by law for educational
and similar purposes was offered and
accepted. The delegation will leave for
their reservation Saturday, and the
tribe will petition the next congress for
the payment of the principal.

less as to the Results of am
international Conference.

WASHINGTON, Dec 30-The Repub-
lican caucus committee, appointed to
draft a measure providing for an in
ternational conference to secure the re-
establishment of bimetallism, was in
session for two hours today, and when
it adjourned had agreed upon a bill to
be presented to the Republican caucus,
which will be held soon after the as
sembling of congress next Tuesday. The
bill agreed upon is brief and merely
confers upon the president the right to
appoint delegates ito any conference
which may be called, which has for
its object the establishment Of BIZ
metallism.". It does not distribute the
selection Of delegates as did the legis-
lation of the Fifty-third congress be-
tween the president and the two houses
of congress, and, moreover, leaves the
number to be selected entirly to the
discretion of the president.
Senator Wolcott gave the committee
full account of his conference with
President-elect Mckinley, from which
he had just returned, reassuring them
of Mr.. McKinley's hearty interest in
the committees proceedings, and his
earnest desire to do all in his power to
carry into execution the promise of the
st. Louis convention to secure interna-
tional bimetallism if possible
1t was announced after the close Of
the conference today that the commit
tee would press for the early considera-
ton of its bill, with the hope Of secur-
ing all the legislation needed at this
session-so that Mr.. Mckinley could
take whatever steps he might deem
proper to carry 1t into effect immediate
ly upon entering upon his duties, and it
was intimated that he was anxious to
have conference and have 1t under
way by the time the tariff should be
up for consideration. It was also stat
ed by members of the committee that
they were very hopeful of securing a
conference, and also that they were
"by no means hopeless as to the re-
suits" Of such a conference when once
secured. All members of the committee
were present at the conference except

DITIONS TO CLEAR FOR CUBAN
PORTS.
TWO SUCH APPLICATIONS.
DAUNTLEss AND CoMMoDoRE WILL
CARRY WAR MUNITIONS FROM
FLORIDA,
SPANISH CONSUL IN A DILEMMA.
He Must officially Sanction Ship
ments of COntraband Goods Con-
signed to Insurgents.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-For the
first time since the present struggle in
Cuba began this government has given
permission to a customs official to clear
for Cuba a vessel loaded, according to
her manifest with munitions of war,
and presumably intended for the in
surgent army The vessel in this case
is the well known and alleged f1libust-
erer, the Dauntless, but the concession
that, under these circumstances, she is
entitled to clear any papers, leaves the
situation, as far as she is concerned,
quite as involved as before, as the
statutes prescribe that before clear
ance shall be granted for any vessel
bound to a foreign port, the owners,
shippers and. .consigners of the cargo
shall state under oath the foreign port
at which the cargo is to be landed, and
severe penalties are prescribed for vio-
lations of this requirement, including
the confiscation Of the vessel
Some time yesterday the secretary OF
the treasury. received telegram from
tn attorney for the owners of the
Daunt1ess at Jacksonville, stating that
the owners Of the Dauntless and her
the attorney for the owners of the
Dauntless at Jacksonville, stating that
to a Cuban port with a cargo of arms,
stating, however, that the oath re-
quired by the statutes would not be
taken. The question was asked
whether, under these circumstances
papers would be issued.
Later in the day a telegram was re-
ceiVed from the collector at Jackson
vile stating that application to clear
the Dauntless for the port of Nuevitas,
Cuba, with a cargo of arms had been
made, and asking Instructions This
morning the secretary replied substan-
TALLY as follows:
''If the master of the vessel and the owners,
shippers and consignors of the cargo comply
fully with all the laws and regulations con-
corning the manifest. and take the oath re-
CURED, you may grant a. clearance to Neu-
vitas."
The port named in the application as
the destination of the cargo is on the
northern coast of Cuba, and is occupied
by the Spanish forces.
+ Late this afternoon the collector of
customs at Jacksonville, wired the sec
retary of the treasury. that the steamer
Commodore had applied for clearance
upon practically the same statement of
facts as in the case of the Dauntless.
In response, the secretary wired per-
mission to issue papers to the Commo-
dore in substantially same terms as
were named in the former case. Up
to the hour Of closing the department.
no information had been received as
to the movements of either vessel OF
whether the conditions imposed had
been accepted.

The owner says it has gone on a wreck
ing trip and may not return for a
week. The Dauntless gave the revenue
cutters the slip yesterday, going out
of the river from one of the shallow
channels, and this aroused the sus-
picion that the vessel is again on a fill
clustering trip. The owners say that
the vessel will be formally cleared for
Cuba as soon as it shall return. The
Commodore has also been granted per-
mission to clear with arms and will do
so In the morning. Several carloads
of arms and ammunition are in the
city awaiting shipment.
rather anomalous fact is presented
in that, if either boat shall clear for
Cuba, the Spanish consul or vice con-
sui will have to sign the clearance
papers, this being required when a
vessel clears for a foreign port. In this
instance it would be case Of a Span
tsh officer affixing his signature to a.
document permitting a vessel to carry
war material to people fighting
against his government Consul Soils
was asked if he would refuse to sign
the clearance papers of the Dauntless
He said that he could not refuse, as it
was his duty to sign the papers. The
cargo of both boats will be shipped to
Salvador Cisneros, president of the
Cuban republic, the Dauntless cargo
consigned to Nuevitas and that Of the
Commodore to Santiago.
Information received late tonight is
to the effect that the steamer Three
Friends failed absolutely to land her
expedition in Cuba as was reported
The story of the chase by a Spanish
man-of-war is confirmed, the Three
Friends being obliged to leave the
Cuban coast just as she was getting
ready to land her cargo. The steamer
headed for the Florida coast and hay-
ing but a few tons of coal on board
1t landed the men on a key near to
Key West, afterward putting in at that
port. The Dauntless has now gone to
take the men and munitions of war off
the key and will make an effort to
land them in Cuba. Before the return
of the Dauntless to this port, she Will
also endeavor to land another expedi-
ton.
Reports from Artemisa are that
Weyler has found it necessary to in
trench some Of his advanced positions
and to build one or two bIockhouses
to keep the command of the military
road from Artemisa to San Cristo-
bal. The insurgents have driven back
two of his detachments from the foot
hills. Weyler is unable to secure tid-
ingS of the movements of Gen. Rivera
and it Is reported that he is somewhat
worried over the situation. Instead OF
cleaning the Pinar del Rio section in
one month he is as far from ac-
complishing 1t when he first arrived
In Artemisa- Several communications
have come to the palace at Havana
from Madrid and 1t is reported that
Weyler Is told in plain language that
he must do something very soon or be
recalled.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3O-As the result of
conference this afternoon between
William Van Nortwick, Congressman
A. j. Hopkins, of Aurora Charles
Quarles, of Milwaukee, and ATTORNEY
A. w. Green, of this city, it was agreed
that the Batavia bankers, whose fail

where, should ask their creditors for
more time in order that they may be
able to pay in full their obligations
No creditors Of the involved bankers
were admitted to the conference. The
entire situation was discussed at con-
siderable length and it was decided
that no definite conclusion could pos
sibly be reached at this time. What
properties would better be disposed Of
first and how much they would bring,
was one OF the matters talked Of but
no arrangement was made. 1t is be-
lieVed, however, that the Western

Mr.. an Nortwick said, explaining his ac-
ton: Il allowed William Van Nortwick
" Uh'O OUt JOAHI SlSuIC W his lnQi-
vidual enterprises, and thus permitted in
cumbrances to be placed upon my share of
our Joint interests without receiving any
of the benefits for the liabilities thus as
sumed. When the collapse Of the Atlas Bank
Of Chicago made inevitable the failure Of
the Batavia bank, I decided that things had
gone far enough, and the time had come to
protect my own interests at any cost. To that
end l forced the assignment of the Western

BRADLEY ABOUT THROUGH.
KentucIxy's Governor Will Not Serve
Out His Term,

CINCINNATI, Dec 30.-The CONNER
cial-Tribune in a loaded article tomor-
row will say:
William o. Bradley, Of Kentucky, will
not serve out his term as chief executive of
that state. Unless there is a. marked i'm
provement in his health during the next sew
eral months he will resign the governorship,
the resignation to take effect on or after
Dec. 10, 1897. Under the laws of Kentucky,
IN case her chief executive does not hold his
of1ce for at least two years and the gov
ernorship becomes vacant by resignation or
otherwise before the expiration of such time,
a special election is necessary in order to
fill the position. But after the governor has
served for two years he may retire If he so
desires, and the lieutenant governor may take
his place. Gov. Bradley has determined to
resign If his health does not materially i'm
prove, but the Commercial-Tribune is able
to state that his resignation will not take
effect until Dec. Is next. At that time Lieut..
Gov. Worthington can, by the law, become
the governor of Kentucky. and no election
to fill the vacancy caused by Gov. Brad
ley's resignation will be necessary
