Washington, Oct. 5.-The Della
ware tribe of Indians, through
their attorney, Walter S. Logan,
of New York, have brought suit
in the court of claims against the
Cherokee nation for their share in
the Cherokee trust fund. This
fund now amounts to 81, 800, 900
and is held by the United States
for the Cherokees.
In 1867 the Cherokees admitted
985 of the Delaware Indians to
their nation and sold to them 157,-
600 acres of land for ST. an acre.
This gave each Delaware Indian
160 acres. As part of the bar
gain the Delawares deposited $121,-
S24 i'll the Cherokee trust fund.
The two tribes of Indians have
been living together since that
time. On the passage of the Cur
tis bill the Delaware Indians were
authorized to bring suit to ascer-
tain their rights in the Cherokee
trust fund. There are now 920
Delaware Indians in the Cherokee
nation, 213 of whom were party to
the original agreement. The
Cherokees number $4,000. The
claim of the Delawares is that they
are entitled to division of the
trust fund pro rata with the Cher
okees. In their petition to the
court of claims the Delawares as
sert that the Cherokees have ad-
mitted aliens into their nation, who
are now illegally seeking tribal
benefits. They also allege that 8
large amount of the fund has beer
squandered.

SPANS RESOURCES.

So far as Spanish Cuban finances

THE UNION MUTElIENT

Wasco county democrats, populists
and silver republicans ara to be con-
graduated upon the work accomplished
by their respective conventions last
Saturday. The accomplishment of so
complete a union as was effected of
three parties that have one purpose in
view, though in the past have been so
widely divided, was grand result, and
will have lasting effect upon the
politics not only of this immediate
vicinity. but of the entire state. 1t
will tend TO harmonize discordant
elements in ether localities, and to
cement the union that existed during
the national campaign of 1896. The
pl ttform adopted was broad enough for
ali liberal minded men to stand on,
embodying a it does the fundamental
principles of sound and just govern
ment.
As to the nominees, they were
selected from among the best men of
the three parties, and were chosen for
their known honesty and cspability.
They are men of sterling worth and
unquestionable qualifications. They
are men who will appeal to the voters
CT the county for their capabilities,
and if elected will prove satisfactory
10 the masses as public servants.

A ministerial Crisis In Chill.

NEW YORK, March PA dispatch
to the Herald from Valparaiso says:
Chilli is confronted by another min
isterial crisis. Members OF the cabi-
net have been dismissed, and to Senior
Eulojo Altimarina has been intrusted
the work of forming a new cabinet.
The confidence of all political parties
is now sought by the government in
view of the seriousness of internal and
foreign affairs.
In private circles one hears nothing
but war talk. Genera ly it is believed
that a conflict is unavoidable, but
there is good reason to believe that
Chill will not declare war. Argentina
will not do so because she has too
much to lose.

Would Nullify the Protocol.

NEW YORK. March PA World
dispatch from Havana says:
II is most pTobable-indeed, it is al
most certain that if the United States
claims indemnity for the loss OF the
Maine, Spain will PIT in counter
lars for damage through fIibustering
expeditions fitted out in America and
permitted to sail from American ports.
One of the highest spanish officials
in Cuba stated that Spain's answer to
an American demand for Maine in
demnity would surely be "a indicated.
He reluctantly admitted that blank
refusal 70 pay for the battle-ship would
not be backed by Europe, but he seem
ed assured of the fact that should
Spain offer to pay promptly, say $50,
OoO,000, for the Maine if the United
States would pay slO0, ,000,0 900 for Span
ish losses through Cuban flioustering,
Austria and France would at least en-
deavor to make them their own affairs,
and thus give to Spain the thing she
has been clamoring for for the last
three years, and the only thing she
has gained, time.
Should the Spanish indemnity for
the Maine disaster become question
for an international board, and should
its decision be Ghe deciding point of
American Intervention, either Ameri-
Gu will have to feed Cuba at least a
whole year more, or the Cubans will
become practically extinct. For de-
lay after delay will surely consume
that much time. 1t the Cubans are to
