TILE DAWES TREATY

The Rejection Of the Treaty Probsbly

MUsKOeEE, L T., Oct. 2O.-The treaty
between the Dawes and Creek commits
sions, which was concluded at this
place last month, was rejected by the
Creek council in session at Okmolgee
Monday evening. The vote ia the
house Of warriors, which is tie lower
house Of the Creek council, was IMAM

10 en- 4ploy able attorneys to take adj
Var 4tage of every legal remedy to
P nevent the United States from
Sdolating its treaties with the
Creek nation. The principal OBJ
section to the treaty is that it
does not give the Creeks their pro rata
share of all the lands of the Creek ma
ton, and leaves too much room for
money sharks and spectators. The
treaty which has just been rejected
was one of five which it is the duty Of
the Dawes commission to negotiate.
Treaties were arranged with the
Creeks, the Chickasaws and the Choc-
laws. None but the Creek treaty has
yet come up for ratification, and its re-
lection viii ne doubt have powerful
influence against the ratification of
the Chickasaw and Choctaw treaties,
aad against the success of the coming
negotiations of the Dawes commission
with the Cherokees and Seminoles. 1t
is not improbable that it means the
failure of the present scheme for the
adjustment of tribal government and
the allotment of lands in severalty.
UHER0KEEs WANT TRIBAL GOVERNMENT.
CHELSEA, l. T.. Oct. 2O.-The full
blood Cherokees have chosen to send
another delegation to Washington
soon. It's visits to the Great Father
are to tell him that unless he per-
suades congress not to abolish tribal
government the whole full-blood ag-
gregation Of the territory viii leave
the United States and go to Mexico
forthwith. The delegation is com
posed of Vast Swimmer, Sargy San
ders, David Muskrat and Robin Pam,
all prominent fullblood leaders.
Swimmer is assistant chief of the

Judge Walter L. Simons, of the Fort
Scott district, has decided that the
new state textbook law does not abrC,
gate existing contracts for textbooks
because it does not apply to them.
Nearly every district in the state has
contracts and some are observing the
law and some are not. All other dis.
trict courts that have ruled on the
question have found that the law does
affect existing contracts, and now the
boards will not have a settled policy
until the supreme court decides the
point.

Province of Camagua.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 10
Twelve Cubans, the last survivors If
an insurgent camp in the province of
Camagua, reached Rio Uneven. a little
port on the North side of the island
a few days ago in an open boat. They
were in a terrible condition of ex
haustion as they had been seventy
hours in making the passage. The hit
tie craft which had been constructed
in the camp just before their departure
was found to leak In several places
and with high winds and the heavy
seas, the refugees were compelled to
take turns at baling her Again and
again they were on the verge of de-
struction. After three days of constant
anxiety and struggling they managed
to put in Rio Uneven in a pitiable con-
dition.
In an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent they complained
bitterly of the actions of the British
officials, for the visiting health officer
had arbitrarily seized a number of i'm
portant letters and dispatches de-
signed for the Cuban junta to New
York. The first inquiry was with ref
erence to the rumor that Gen. Maximo
Gomez had been killed This was
treated by all the patriots as simply
a canard, circulated by the Spanish.
At the time the party left Cuba, Gen.
Gomez was in good health and san

'The revolution" said one, sis prin-
cipally confined at the present moment
to the Orient and Camagua provinces.
The Spanish are in possession of one
or two small places, but they suffer
very severely from the want of food
and ammunition. Their camps are
decimated by sickness, and numbers
are deserving every day to join the
ranks of the insurgents. They are
afraid to venture far, as the forces are
so small, and it is only when a Span
ish column reinforces them that they
make search for supplies.''
A battle, according to the castaways.
was recently fought at Camagua, in
which the insurgents were completely
successful They received word that
