THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
A Potent Argument for a Change In the
Existing Conditions.

A Potent Argument for a Change In the
Existing Conditions.
Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 31.-A spe
cial to the journal from Washington
says W. J. Watts and Colonel Hub
bard, of Muldrow, I. T., will tomor.
row file with the secretary of the inter.
ior potent argument for change in
the conditions in their country. The
document fled within due time, will
reach the various committees in con.
gress interested in legislation for the
country. The information collected,
it is insisted, will be enough to dis
prove the many statements made by the
delegates from the tribes, that it is a
very orderly country, and that there is
no need of congressional interference
because of lawlessness.
The document contains partial list
of murders committed in the Indian
territory from March 5 to the last of
October. In this time 1856 murders
have been committed and accounted
for in the record, and the claim is
made that the list is not complete. In
each case a short statement is given
This is set forth as evidence of the
need of a change in that country. This
is part of the basis for the position
taken by the Dawes commission, and
will be used by members Thereof in JUS

tions and open that country to settle
ment after paying the Indians a fair
and equitable amount for their lands.

orally understood that the ways and
means committee would not be pre-.
pared to report it's bill for the relief OF
the treasury situation before Friday,

Mr.. Dingley. chairman of tie way;
and means committee, said the com
mittee met this morning and unani-
mously decided, in view of the presi-
dents message, that it was not appro-
pirate for the house to adjourn until
a proper response had been made. "On
Friday he continued, ''we hope the
house will make response to the
urgent request Of the president and take
some action which will relieve the
situation in which the country finds
itelf.''

the United States shall not apply to

tion to the authority given to the sec:

The Boer Republic to Supp1ant yene-
zuela in Interest.
London, Dec. 31.-The Times this
morning publishes long dispatches from
Cape Town, Paris and Berlin bearing
on the Transvaal question, which,
seems to be displacing the Venezuela
question. The Paris dispatch quotes
the Journal des Debats as saying:
"The London Times seems to be
avenging itself on the Beers for the
moderate tone it was obliged to adopt
toward Uncle Sam.
The Des Debats then proceeds to
argue upon the danger to French in
terests of allowing England to seize the
Transvaal.
A dispatch to the Times from The
Hague says that Hollands attitude on
the question is apparently one of in
difference.
The Berlin dispatch says the action
of the Uuitlanders in the Transvaal has
given rise to an unusually violent ex-
ploitation of anti English feeling in the
German press.
The National Zeitung is quoted as
follows:
Germany, Portugal and possibly
France cannot allow the Boer republic
to become the exclusive prey of Eng
land, especially of such a dangerous
parsonage as Mr.. Cecil Rhodes"
The Koeniche Zeitung, the Kreuz
Zeitung and other papers express SINH
lar sentiments. 1t cannot be denied
tbof uhi1a the relations hetwean the
English and German governments are
in no way cordial, a widespread feeling
of animosity against England exists in
Germany.
The Times also has column article
explanatory of the Transvaal trouble,
which says: Equity of representation
with taxation, language, law, response
bility of the ADMINISTRATION to the legis.
lature, and the removal of religious
disabilities are among the chief of the
Uuitlanders' demands, which they de.
sire to maintain inviolable."

On the Asiatic Station.

Washington, Dec. 31.-An order has
been sent to the admiral commanding
the Asiatic station detaching the Petrol
from his squardon and directing that
she proceed to San Francisco. Arriv-
ing there she will be put out of COM
mission for an overhauling. Her re-
lief, the Boston, is now at Mare island
navy yard. She has been put in first
class condition, and will start on her
long voyage across the Pacific, in day
or two The Petrol will not await her
arrival, but will start for home as soon
as she can be prepared for the trip. 1t

Havana, Dec. 27.-Further details
reached here today from Matanzas of
the rapid advance of the insurgent
army, numbering about IL, 900 men,
upon Havana after forcing it's way
through the province of Santa Clara
and into the province of Matanzas, in
spite of the efforts of Captain General
Martinez de Compos and about 5000
troops at his disposal in the territory
invaded.
The reported important battle be-
tween the Spaniards under Campos and
the insurgents at Coliseo plantation,
twelve miles from Cardenas, does not
appear to have been very severe en-
gagement. Cardenas is seaport, and
quite an important place for Cuba, of
about 40,0OO inhabitants. It is only
twelve miles from Matanzas, the capi.
tai of the province of that name, and
the largest town between Cardenas and
Havana.
The Spanish forces do not appear
to have encuonteretd the main body of
the insurgents, as at first announced.
The fight at the Coliseo plantation was
between portion of the northern col
umn of the insurgent columns, now
pushing through the province of Ma.
tanzas, and instead of turning out to be
a great victory for the Spaniards, the
result of the engagement was virtually
defeat for Campos' foc1es, for the
Cuban army pushed onward unchecked,
and is still advancing on this city.
The fighting took place amid burning
cane, underwood, tall grass and trees,
and was of the usual guerilla nature.
At times, both the troops and insur-
gents were surrounded by walls of
flames, and the smoke was SO dense
over certain portions of the ground con-
tested that the Cubans and the troops
were unable to see each other, and kept
banging away at open spaces, wasting
good ammunition. It is true that this
indiscriminate firing was more noticed
upon the part of the troops than on the
side of the insurgents, but for one in
surgent killed, at least 1900 shots
must have been fired. The Cubans,
following their customary tactics,

soon as the troops got within fighting
distance of them, and nearly all the
firing was at very long range, although b
the soldiers made several gallant
charges through the burning territory.
This style of fighting is termed de-
feat for the insurgents, but as they
succeeded in accomplishing their OBJ
ject-holding the Spaniards in check
while the Cubans pushed on southwark
the result was really Cuban VIC

Improvement in London.

London, Dec. 26.-At o'clock this
afternoon there was less excitement in
the stock exchange, but the market was
still unsettled. There was DISPOSE
tion to take a more hopeful view of
the Venezuelan question politically,
but grave apprehension is felt regarding
the financial outlook of the United
States. There was not much improve
ment in foreign government securities.
The American railroad market, which
was very excited at the opening, was
quieter at 1 o'clock. In fact the
panicky feeling seems to have given
way to one of more confidence. On
the Liverpool and Manchester and
Glasgow stock exchanges the tone
showed marked improvement and
prices for American securities were
steadily advancing.

Are Glad of 1t.

London, Dec. 26.-The afternoon pa
pers today, comment editorially at
length on the Venezuelan matter, but
their remarks are on the financial
rather than the political phase. While
there is no abatement of expressions of
belief that the gronud taken by the
United States is untenable, the tone
is altogether more pacific. Yet there
is considerable display of satisfaction
at financial difficulties in the United
States.
Business during the day was ex-
ceedingly quiet on the exchange.
Operators generally we're disposed to
await further news from the United
States. American stocks, however,
closed steady; Brazilians particularly
heavy.

Constantinople, Dec. 31.-It is Of
ficially announced that the most OBJ
stinate fighting preceded the capture
of Zeitoun by the Turks. Semi-of6cial
advices from Zeitoun say the Armen-
ians lost 2, 500 killed during the en-
gagements and $50 Turks were killed.
The narrow pass between the hills
leading out of Zeitoun is said to be
crowded with Armenians, men, women
and children, and it is feared they will
be massacred. The ambassadors of
Great Britain, France, Russia, Ger
many, Italy and Austria sent their
dragomans to the palace today to make
representations with view of prevent
ing the Armenians being massacred.
The financial situation continues very
