Jonas Plucked the Feather.

A dispatch to the Spokesman
Review from North Yakima, under
date of October LIST, gives the fol-
lowing interesting information !:
The principal event at the jubilee
this afternoon was a war dance par
ticipated in exclusively by Neg
Perez braves, who wished to show
1000 other watching Indians "how
to do it, The dance was one of
the longest ever given by the tribes
here and provoked storms of ap-
plause from the enormous crowd
in the grand stand. After the dance
Nez Perez chief explained in his
own language the symbols of the
dance. One particular motion Of
the dance is a constant tendency Of
each brave to stoop toward an eagle
feather lying upon the ground.
None, however. dared to pick it up
till the dance was just closing, when
Jonas, big Nez Perez, snatched it
| off the ground amidst the cheers
and whoops Of every Indian on
the ground. As explained, the
feather svmbolized an assumed
enemy and no Indian could lift it
cave one who had done some brave
deed, such as killing man in any
war. When Jonas picked it up
and stopped the dance an old CHIEF
Explained that he was worthy since
he had killed white man during
the war of 20 years ago near Lewis.
ION. After this proclamation Jonas
gave small coins to the poorer In
dams of the tribe and also to thu
drumbeaters and chanters who fur
nished the alleged music for thu
war dance" Jonas, the characte
mentioned prominently in The abov'
sketch, is q we'll known Nez Perc,
renegade. The pioneers of thi
section can wildly remember tn
cowardly part Jonas and his elias
played in the war Of 1877. AM
even since that time, suspicion ha
strongly pointed to his commission
of dozen dark deeds.

whence he sailed for America two
weeks ago yesterday. Mr.. Bigelow
says there is little evidence in Madrid
that Spain is having trouble with
Cuba Money, however, is scarce there.
The first popular loan was easily
raised but there is some doubt as to
whether or not the present effort to
raise money will be successful Spain
owes a great deal of money now, the
bankers Of Paris holding a good deal
of paper. Interest on this, Mr.. Bige-
low says, is payable in gold, and the
Spanish have to go into the Paris
market and purchase the gold at a
premium, and then turn around and
pay it back as interest on its bonds.
Mr. Bigelow says there is no feeling
against the American people in Ma
drid, and that he was treated as
courteously there as in any city he
visited.
Mr.. Bigelow spent a few days at
Gibraltar He visited the Notifications
as far as anybody is allowed to do So.
This is confined to what is known as
| the lower or visitors gallery, but is the
| only portion of the impregnable
| fortress which visitors are allowed to
! inspect Mr.. Bigelow says it is a most
wonderful fertilization, which, in his
! opinion, all the powers Of the world
! combined would be unable to capture.

cept that it is possibly a trif1e warmer
