tary Bliss Report.
Washington, Nov 1S.-Secretary of
the Interior Bliss, in his annual report.
made public tonight, submits estimates
aggregating $156, 532 4l9 for appropria-
tons by congress for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1893 Discussing pen
sions, he says 200G pension claims
are awaiting adjudication and it is
estimated that 40 or so per cent of
these win be finally admitted. IF they
are rapidly adjudicated they viii swell
the pension roll from GOO to ST.
100000 When, however, these claims
are adjudicated and the first payments
made thereon the amount of the
pension roll will decrease very rapidly,
possibly to $125, 100000 or $130,000,000 the
first year.
INDIAN TERRITORY.
Referring to the Indians in the In
dian Territory, the secretary says the
five tribes have undoubtedly violated
IN many ways the spirit of their agree
ments with the United States under
which the territory is now held and
governed. and while he does not recon-
mend any harsh government action,
the secretary calls the attention of the
president and congress to the chaotic
condition of affairs in the territory
growing out Of the several tribes
methods of administration. Leading
Indians have absorbed great tracts to
the exclusion of the common people,
and government by an Indian aristoc-
racy has been practically established,
to the detriment Of the people.
From 100000 to 100000 whites by per
mission OF the Indian government have
settled in the territory, but are merely
tenants by suffrage. No government
for the Indian Territory viii be salts

system for the entire Indian Territory
that shall place its inhabitants in pos
session of the rights of American citf-
zens.
CONCERNING ALASKA.
Concerning Alaska, Secretary Bliss
says existing conditions demand more
radical change in the laws relating
thereto, and he recommends that the
public land laws be extended to that
district, that additional land Offices be
created and appropriations made to
carry them into effect; that the grant
ing Of rights of way for railways tele-
graph and telephone lines and the con-
struction of roads and trails be spe-
cifically authorized; that provision be
made for the Incorporation of munich

elections defining qualifications fer

STORY OF A FILIBUSTER
CASE THAT ASSUMED DIPLo-
MATIC IMPORTANCE.
New Trial Was to Have Begun Last
Monday-If Death Sentence Were
Imposed It Would Have Provoked
an Explosion in This Country
Cuban War.

washington, Nov. 1S.-Minister
Woodford has telegraphed the state de-
partment that the Spanish cabinet has
notified him that the queen has par
doned the Competitor prisoners.
The state department announces that
the Competitor prisoners were turned
over to Consul General Lee last Mon
day and will be sent by him direct to
New York today.
1t is not doubted here that the pris-
oners are liberated on some such cond1-
tions as were imposed in the case OF
former prisoners. that is, that they will
not return to Cuba

SECRETLY DEPARTED.

It is singular that the men should
have been four days in the custody OF
Consul General Lee without the tact
having become generally known, but 1t
is supposed that secrecy was observed
in order to secure departure from Ha-
vana. without exciting trouble from the
extreme conservative faction.
There were four prisoners, namely,
Alfredo Laborde, the captain of the
Competitor, a native of New Orleans;
William Gildea, the mate, a natural
lied citizen; Ona Melton, who claims
Kansas as his native state and who
went on the Competitor in the capacity
of a newspaper correspondent; Charles
Barnett, of British birth, but who
claimed the protection of the United
States government by virtue of his
sailing on an American vessel.

THE AsPHALTuM LANDS.

The act of last June reserves to the
United States the title of all lands con-
t5ining gilsonite, asphalt or other like
substance, but does not authorize the
secretary of the interior to lease the
same or to work such deposits. or to
permit them to be worked by others on
royalty. Therefore, l recommend such
legislation by congress as viii enable
the people Of the United States to reap
the benefit Of these valuable and useful
mineral deposits.

CAPTURE DESCRIBED.

The conditions under Which the COM
petitor was captured, April u, 1896 OIL
the Cuban coast, While engaged IN
landing arms for the insurgents, have
been often described. The defense OF
the men was that they were forced
into the expedition against their will by
the lnsurgent party on board the YES
sell They were tried by a naval court
martial, before which they could make
only a poor showing, principally be-
cause of their ignorance of the Span
ish language. in which the proceedings
We're conducted, so that their conv1c-
ton and imposition of the death SEN
tence was not matter of surprise.
DIPLOMACY ENTERS.
AT this point. however, the case as
sumed diplomatic Importance. Our
government, through its conoun general
at Havana. then Ramon Williams, and
also through Minister Taylor at
Madrid, interposed an energetic pro-
test against the execution of the SEN
tence, claiming that the men were i'm
properly tried. without the guarantees
held out in the famous Gushing pro
tocoi. This protest caused the removal
of the case to the higher judicial au-
thorities at Madrid, by whom new
trial was ordered. The Spanish gov
eminent, however, did not, and has
not yet, conceded that the Gushing
protocol applied to such cases. To adj
NIT that, would, in the opinion Of the
Spanish authorities, greatly stimulate
the fitting out Of flibustering parties
in the United States.
EFFECT OF THE NEW TRIAL.
The new trial had been ordered by
the Madrid supreme court on the
ground of irregularities in the original
trial, not because of any concession of
the soundness of the objections inter-
posed by the United States. 1t was to
have begun last Monday and it Is
thought would have resulted in the
imposing of the death sentence again.
This would have provoked an explosion
in this country, according to the antici-
pations of the department officials,
that would have been hardly less vio-
lent than the famous Virginius episode,
so it is to them a matter of satisfac-
ton that the Spanish queen has cut
the diplomatic tangle by the pardon OF
the men before the second trial

A LARGE CONVENTION.

The place designated for the holding
of the convention, the Twelfth ward
meeting house, proved far too small for
the accommodation of the attending
hosts. Accordingly, adjournment was
had to the New Grand theatre, which
was soon packed to its full capacity
with bona fide resident citizens, both
men and women, of the Fifth munich
pal ward. The convention was called to
order by Mr.. Louis Conn, who presented

of army tales known all over the State,
will be another speaker, while Jake
Mertz, adjutant general of the State,
will be present on the second day to
entertain the crowd Then there will ap-
pear Col. VIM. Pfaender, Maj. B. D.
Gibbs, L. NJ. Lange, DR.. J. w. B.
Welcome, Mayor Philbrick and others.
Capt. Henry A. Castle, now auditor of
the treasury for the postofice depart
ment, writes that be will be present at
the encampment if he is in the State
during that time. Major Gideon S.
Ives of St. Peter, D. Fichthorne and
others of that place, will also be on
the list.
Up to the present writing there is
no telling just what band music is tn
be present at the encampments ~
Marshall drum corps of IL IS, will
certainly be present. - corps is
uniformed and rolls on some excellent
music. The Soldiers Home drum
corps of Minnehaha will also probably
come up with Capt. Thos. Mcmillan
and wife, the former commander of
the Soldiers Home. A letter received
from there indicates that this is almost
a certainty. The band tournament
matter still remains question, owing
to the fact that up to the present writ
ing not quite enough entries have
been received to warrant the announc-
ing of the tournament as a fact. The
Redwood band will probably furnish
the principal music during the three
days, and it is probable that the st.
Peter and New Ulm bands will be
here during the last two days. The
Redwood band agrees to meet all
trains with the committee of old
soldiers, play in the morning, after

AT THE TRAINS.

AT THE TRAINS.
Every train running into Redwood
Falls. commencing with next Tuesday
afternoon will be met by a commit
of old soldiers from John 8 kfsh
Post, probably with = VI some
musical organization a the soldiers
who come here to attend the encamp-
ment by the train service will be
escorted to the hotels or grounds, as
they desire. Visitors coming on trains
should be careful and secure a
certificate from their depot agent, when
they purchase a ticket, and after ar
irving here they should see to it that
O. L. Dornberg's name appears on the
certificate as assistant secretary, where
by they can secure one-third fare for
the return trip. Mr.. II. L. Beecher
is made the agent of the Western
Passenger Association to see that
100 tickets have been sold, whereby
the benefit OF the one-third fare can be
secured. This will probably be the
most troublesome feature of the whole
affair, on account of the prospective
large crowd, St. Peter, New Ulm and
other points having commenced last
week to agitate the question of run
ming special train to Redwood Falls
for the encampment. It is not at all
unlikely that the Northwestern will
run a special train from Owatonna
each morning, leaving there as early
as four or five O'Clock and arriving
here about or 10 o'clock.
SPEAKING.
There will be plenty of good army
tales at the encampment. Col. Samuel
R. McPhail, the founder of the city of
Redwood Falls, the hero of many an
incident with the Indians as they
roamed though this section, will be
present to entertain the crowd with
his stories told in his only inimitable
style. He lives in Lincoln county
now, and has promised to be present,
if it is the last move he makes on the
chess board Of life. Capt. Samuel R.
VanSant of Winona, another spinner
