Is SOME DOUBT.
Reports of the Alleged Massacres
Not Confirmed

Not Confirmed.
Helena. Mon. May 31-Reports of
the killing of several men by Cheyenne
Indians at Lame Deer agency is not
verified II is not believed that any one
was killed except a sheepherder named
Hoover. whose murder a week ago
caused all the excitement. The set
tiers and cowboys determined TO
avenge his death and give the Chey-
ennes an object lesson TO deter them
from similar acts IL the future. They
sent all the women and children 10
places of safety, armed themselves and
colgregated near the agency and de-
manded the surrender of the Indians
accused of numbering Hoover. The In
dams armed themselves and made
threatening demonstrations against the
whites, but no battle has been fought
nor massacre begun so far as is known
Six companies of United States troops
are at the agency. The Indians declare
that they don't want to fight settlers
and cowboys. There is a conflict Of
authority between the Indian agent
Captain Stouch, and the sheriff of Gus
Ter county. The sheriff's deputies were
ordered oft the J. rvaIion by the
agent. They It turned 10 Niles City and
got a warrant for tn arr L Of the agent
for interfering with he officers, and
started back 10 arrest him. Lame Deer
is so miles from a telegraph Office and
the result of their expedition is not
known. The trouble is due 10 the
charges Of settlers that the Indians kill
and steal their cattle and counter
charges of Indians that the settlers
continually inUude on the reservation.
Governor Smith wired President Nc
kinley today protesting against the ac-
ton of Captain Stouch, and asking that
he be directed not to interfere with the
civil officers. Stouch says he can and
will arrest the murderers as soon as the
excite nent dies out.
Orders have been given TO the ord
nance officers at Fort Koogh to have
10000 rounds of ammunition ready for
issue today. 1t is supposed that more
troops are 10 go to the agency. Deputy
Sheriffs Smith and Winters were or
dered off the reservation by the mill
tary agent, Captain Stouch, who did
not want arrests of Indian murderers
made at that time, lest t cause more
trouble. The deputies returned TO Miles
City and have gone back with Sheriff
Gibbs with a warrant for the arrest of
Agent Stouch for interfering with Of
ficers in the discharge of their duty,
and warrants for the Indian murderers.

ANGEL AND TURKEY.
No One Knows When the Former
May Reach the Latter.


Ann Arbor. Mich. May 31.-Dr. James
B. Angel says Turkey is now discuss
ing his acceptability as American min
lister. He arrived at his home in this
city last night from Washington. DR..
Angel has for years been chairman
of the American board of foreign mis-
sions. whose work in Turkey has been
carried on to the great dissatisfaction
of the sultan His sympathy with mis-
sion work and a reported interview
say he hoped the Turks would meet
their match in the Greeks, caused the
talk about his appointment in Constan-
tinOple.
In view of the muddle of matters"
said DR.. Angel. L cannot say when 1
shall leave for Turkey. The presump-
ton is, l may tell you candidly, that
1 shall go, but when 1 cannot definitely
say. OF course, it may be that the
sultan may refuse to be appeased and
will continue to consider me too good
a man. or too bad a. man, as you please.
10 have about"
In speaking of the possibility of his
being appointed minister to Spain if
the sultan should refuse to withdraw
his protest, DR.. Angel said: ITO my
knowledge my name has not been men
toned in connection with the Spanish
ministry. 1t is my belief that Presi-
dent Mckinley intends TO appoint
man to that Office whose name will be
of the greatest political weight. Az
fairs existing now between the United
States and Spain are of so complicated
a nature that unless the minister were
a man of known and recognized po-
litical and diplomatic ability it would
be almost useless to make an appoint
ment I may say that 1 am told Presi-
dent Mckinley has already offered the
Spanish ministry to a man well
equipped for the work, but that the
offer has been refused
The doctor is confident that the state
department will meet the sultan's pro-
test TO the satisfaction of both parties
and that ne will leave for Constantine
pie within short time.

the breaking out of the fire there were
several loud explosions, presumably the
bursting of stage lighting apparatus.
The flames quickly enveloped the rear OF

The opera house with all its contents,
including the handsome scenery, cos
tunes and equipment of the Julia Arthur
CONF pany, were destroyed in short order.
The rear OF the te1-story buildiIg occu-
