ne could purloin silver dollars from the
bags of coin which it was his business to
handle, and substitute lead to make up the
shortage in weight 1t has leaked out
that the bright, but dishonest darkey has
imitators in the employ of the department.
Some bags of silver dollars received at
Washington from San Francisco the other
day have been found to contain a mixture
of dollars and shot. 1t is thought a con-
siderable number of the coins have been
stolen. A count is now progressing to as
certain how great the thieving has been.

comment on the uncharitable, unchristian

ton of the ministerial union, but it may
be remarked that a newspaper which

The Cubans Not Pacined.

The efforts of the Spanish authorities to
pacify the Cubans do not appear to be
meeting with much success. They are
certainly making no impression on Gu
bans and Cuban sympathizers in this coun-
try. A gentleman from Florida who
stopped in this city a day or two ago on
his way north, said that those who have
taken part in sending war material to the
insurgents are making arrangements for
sending this material to Cuba at anytime
during the next two years. Vessels are
offered very attractive charters, he said,
to carry arms and men to Cuba, and those
who have charge of this part of the insur-
rection are well provided with money.
About the only risk in the business is in
getting clear of the coast of the United
States. The American cruisers, the gen.
tleman said, are very watchful, and the
greatest care has to be exercised to avoid
them. From his point of view the land
ing of arms ammunition and men in Cuba,
after getting away from the United States,
is a comparatively easy matter.
Assuming that the gentleman who fur
nished the above information is well in
formed two things are apparent, namely,
that the Cubans have no intention of ac-
ceptng Spains offer of home rule and that
the United States are much more diligent
in preventing the enemies of Spain in this
country from injuring her than the Spanish
government is in guarding the coast of
Cuba against hostile expeditions. The
Spanish government has been complaining
that the United States are indirectly as
sisung the insurgents by permitting arms
and ammunition to be shipped to the insur-
gents. 1t appears, however, that the in
surgents would receive much less assist
auce if Spain We're as vigilant in prevent
ing the landing of hostile expeditions in
Cuba as the United States are in prevent
ing them from leaving their shores.

Many Radical Changes.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Senate,

appropriation bill, after striking out
all of the Platt provision excepting

ferring the jurisdiction of the Indian
courts to the United States courts was
offered by Senator Vest and adopted.
The purpose is to let the Dawes com
mission go on with its work and COM
plete treaties with all the tribes, the
only reservation being the provision
relating to the jurisdiction of the
courts, which abolishes the functions
of the tribal Judiciary.
Senators Teller, Plat and Hoar
urged the necessity of replacing the
corrupt Indian courts with Il United
States judicial system, while Mr.. Villas
protested against tanning" through
an amendment despoiling Indians of
their rights The amendment, as
finally agreed to, gives the United
States courts exclusive jurisdiction
over all civil and criminal cases, abol-
ishing the native courts. Two addi-
tional judges are provided for the ter
ritory.
The part of the Indian territory pro-
vision in the appropriation bill stricken
out by the senate is the committee
