ALL the great powers, espe-

Britain and Japan, are sending
warshil S to the Philippines.
Japan has given orders for her
ships to cooperate with the
American and British admirals
in the event of international
complications. CONGRESSMAN
Bailey of Texas says we are near
er trouble with Germany than
many think. At any moment
we are liable to be involved in
the greatest war the world ever
saw. The half crazed emperor
of Germany S ambitious to
make a name, and his intermed-
ding policy at Manila has dis
gusted and outraged the Amer
leans as long as they are going
to stand it, and Great Britain
and Japan stand ready to come
to he aid of this country at any
moment their aid may be need
ed. 1t is not believed, however,
that we will need any assist
ance All we want is an open
sea and a fair fight and Ger
many will go as Spain has
gone. OF course it will not
be as easily done. The
Americans have never been
whipped and they never will be.
We believe providence has des-

dictate terms to the powers Of
the earth and control the Seas

PEACE RESTORED.
Spain Accepts the Terms Of Peace Made
by the URItsd States.
We Get Luba, Porto Rico, Ladrone
Islands and Claims In the
Philippines.

News flashed across the wires
this morning that peace had
been declared between the
United States and Spain; that
Spain had accepted the terms
of peace made by he United
States, leaving only the details
for completion. The terms of
peace are as follows:
First-The government of
Spain must rehshquish its auth
ority and government i'll the
Island of Cuba and withdraw its
land and naval forces from Cuba
and Cuban waters.
Second-The Island of Porto
Rico and all other islands in the
West Indies over which the
Spanish flag now floats must be
reded to the United States as
/ permanent possessions. Wher
the Spanish troops have been
withdrawn from the West In
dies hostilities will cease.
Third-Guam Island. in the
Ladrone group; Wake Island,
also in the Pacific, ard one of
the Caroline Islands. mast also
be ceded to the United Stat s
as coaling stations.
Fourth-The American flag
will not be hanled down from
lhe Philippine Islands, but
whether it will fly over a coal
ing station, or whether il will
cover a larger territory to be
known as a commercial base
which would mean the occup-
ancy of Manila-is a question
not to be decided at this time.
A coaIing station will be the
least that will be demanded
The future disposition and gov
ernment of the islands is not to
be definitely determined at pres
ent, but will be left to the con
slderation of the peace commls-
sioners when they shall have
been appointed.
A commissi 4 will be ap-
pointed to determine the basis
of peace. The chief difficulty

IF peace is declared between
Spain and the United States,
will be reconvened at
once. The developments of the
war make it very evident that
instead of sending the army
back to civil life, fully 100. 900
men will be needed. 1t is the
present intention to distribute
no less than $4,000 soldiers
throughout Cuba, with 10000
in the Philippines and probably
10000 in Porto Rico. Under
the law. as soon as hOstilities
cease the volunteer army is
disbanded and the regular
army goes back to its peace
footing, thus leaving only 27,-

total far too small for the work

THE CITIZEN AND RENTER.

ments of land In the Territory
and their renters and lessees
are greatly confused over The
Curtis bill. All parties want to
obey ,he law, but they don't
know how to do it. The law is
confusing, and it will take de
cisions OF the courts to make
some of the provisions lntelll-
gible. Section 81 is especially
confusing. 1t provides:
That all leases of agricultural
or grazing land belonging to
any triI made after the lst
day of January. 1898, by the
tribe or any member thereof
shall be absolutely void, and
all such or zing leases made
prior to said date shall terml-
nate on the 1st day of April,
1899, and all such agricultural
leases shall terminate Oh Jan.
1, 1900; but this shall not pre-
vent individuals from leasing
their alIotments when made to
them as provided in this act
uor from occupying or renting
their prOpOrtionate shares OF
the tribal lands until the allot-
nents herein provided for are
made.
You Will see that the begin
ming of this section says "all
leases of agricultural land be
longing to any tribe made after
the 1T day of Jan. 1898, by the
tribe or any member thereof
hall be absolutely void" On
down about half way the same
section you will see it says all
such agricultural leases shall
terminate on Jan. 1st, 1900 "
We construe this to mean that
all leases Of agricultural land
made prior to Jan. 1st. 1898,
will not necessarily terminate
antil Jan. 1st, 1900, but all
leases made If such land since
Jan. 1st, 1898. are void. In ref
erence to grazing lands, the
same section says: "All leases
of grazing lands made after the
lst day of Jan, 1898. are void,
but all leases of said grazing
lands made prior to said date
shall terminate on the 1st day
Of April, 1S99." The proviso
IF this section, however, says:
This shall not prevent lndlvid
uals from leasing their allOt
ments when made to them, nor
from occupying or renting theil
proportionate shares of the tri
bal lands until the allOtlnents
are made"
This clearly shows that al
Individual who is entitled to
an allotment for himself, wife
and children can occupy or
rent sali proportionate shares
of land and collect rent from
the same.
Until the lands are surveyed
and graded and the roll of citi-
zens is made, there is no way
Of telling exactly how much
land an individual is entitled
to. He will have to use his
honest Judgment in occupying
and renting lands not to violate
the law. If his land is first
grade he will be entitled to oc-
cupy or rent about 800 or 400
acres; if it is second grade,
twice that much; if it is third
grade, three times that much
No man who tries honestly to
obey the law will be troubled
The intent and object of the
law is to make individuals who
have enclosed thousands OF
acres Of land disgorge-turn
loose these lands-so that indi.
viduals who are entitled to al
lotments can locate upon or Sc
