Twenty thousand years ago, accord
ing to Prof. Walters, the archaeologist,
terrible battle was fought on the Ar
kansas river, in the Indian territory,
between the mound builders and the
Mayas, in which over Il, 900 warriors bit
the dust, says the Detroit Free Press.
He has reached this remarkable con-
clusion on account of his investigation
of prehistoric burying ground in the
Choctaw Indian country, which he has
found to cover 80 acres and to contain
fully $4,000 skeletons. The skeletons
were buried in sand and above the sand
were two distinct strata. ).

President Diaz of Mexico SIEVE

President Diaz of Mexico several years
ago interviewed famous bandit who
was in prison who told the president
that his iawless life was the result Of
having no work to do. The president
liberated him, made him chief of police
Of his native district, which was one Of
the worst in the country, and informed
him that he would be held strictly ac-
countable for all the robberies in his
district. From that day to this not
one has occurred. The president has
appointed many more bandits to Office
under similar conditions, and they have,
without exception, been successful.

It is evident from the report of the
United States governments representa-
tive in Alaska that the gold region is in
the bad condition of a new country
without law. This is dangerous because
of the temptations which covetousness
offers to violence, and because of the
lack of ample sustenance for life. It is
surprising that there has not been more
disorder, and indeed there are indica-
tons of desperate demonstrations to
come. The United States government
will act promptly in the endeavor to es-
tablish a reign of justice within it's ter
ritory.

United States cruiser New York, where
they held conference with Admiral
Sicard.
The court will resume it's sessions in
the United States district courtroom

this morning, and will probably return
to Havana on Wednesday. The most
important witness to be examined here
is Lieut.. Blandin, the officer of the deck
when the explosion on the Maine oc-
Cured. The testimony of the other
survivors will take only a short time.
Capt. Sampson, Capt. Chadwick and
Lieut.. Commander Potter came ashore
and arranged preliminary details for
the sessions of the court. q: =
: In reply to a question as to the ru-
mored removal of the war ships to
Cuba, Admiral Sicard said: "The feet
is not moving and I know nothing about
it going to Cuba. Still, you know, I
have steam up and could 20 anywhere
ii ordered" He was asked if anything
had happened to justify the statement
that the situation was more serious
than it had been, and he replied: "They
know at Washington about that. Just
how strained our relations are with
Spain, am unable to say"

Many clerks were also kept at the navy

far as the available men are concerned,
as some believe. In addition to the small
