WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE senate
spent to-day considering the Indian ap-
preparation bill. but did not complete it.
Early in the session. the proceedings
were made executive and when the doors
were opened again to the public the In
dian bill came up.
The. pending question was on the conf
mlttet amendment opening the Uncom-
pahgre Indian reservation in Utah TO
public entry. Mr.. Jones, of Afkansas'
withdrew the point Of order he had made
and on u yea and nay vote the amend
ment was agreed to. 33-l3
The amendment Is as follows:
That the general lands Of the Uncom-
pahgre Indian reservation OF Utah are
hereby declared open 10 public entry un-
der the mineral land laws OF the United
States. and no person shnii be allowed TO
make mure than one claim on lands con-
tnlnng EilsOnite. And on and after jan
uary ], 1898. all Of said reservation unal-
lottcd 10 Indians shall be open 10 public
entry under the land laws OF the United
States.

he said that what he said would subject
him 10 bitter criticism. He WAS brought
up a Protestant ana had no connection
with the Roman Catholic church, but he
had no sympathy with that cownrdly
and ignorant sentiment that any relig-
ions denomination could menace our lib

Jpsuttg were opposed 60 republican In
qtltutlons. But he had travelled through
the indian country. visited the Rchoals
and had found them a travegty on educa-
.lDn except when conducted by the Jcsu-
~. Broken down preachers and defunct
politicians were sent out 10 the western
country to teach the Indian children. He
had found, he said, that the only indian
schools accomplishing any god were
those conducted by the Jesults. The GER

Mr.. Vest lald he would make no effort

would content himself with this protest.
The Indian bin was not completed

The Duke of Tetuan then asked Mr..
Taylor his opinion of tie greater reforms

the declaration of Porto Rico reforms.
The American Minister replied that the
reforms were too vague to inspire any
confidence in Amerioa. He urged the
Spanish government to make dernire

with economic reforms, as basis for
Secretary Olney was delighted at the
news that Spain had at last officially
recognized the consultative rights of the
American government in the settlement
of the CUBAN war. He at once laid Min
lister Taylor's message before the Presi-

After conference with Mr., Cleveland,
Secretary Olney cabled to Minister Tay-
lor, saying: "Your opinions emphatical-
ly indorsed," aud instIucting the
minister to urge upon the spanish gov
