PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
Thanksgiving for Glory of victory
and the Hope of Peace.

Washington, Oct 3O.-The president
has issued the following thanksgiving
proclamation:
"By the president of the United States;
"a proclamation: The approaching No
vember brings to mind the customs OF
our ancestors, hallowed by time and root
ed in our most sacred traditions of giving
thanks to Almighty God for all the bless
ings he has vouchsafed to us during the
past year. Few years in our history have
afforded such cause for thanksgiving. We
have been blessed by abundant harvests,
our trade and commerce have been won
derfully increased, our public credits been
improved and strengthened. all sections of
our country have been brought together
and knitted into closer bond of national
purpose and unity
"The skies have been for time dark
ened by the cloud of war, but as we were
compelled to take up the sword in the
cause of humanity, we are permitted to
rejoice that the conflict has been of brief
du@tiOn, and the losses we have had to
mourn. though giievous and important,
have been 50 few, considering the great
results accomplished, as to inspire us with
gratitude and praise to the Lord OF Hosts
We may laud and magnify his holy name
that the cessation of hostilities came So
soon as to spare both sides the countless
sor1ows and disasters that attend pro-
tracted war.
81 do therefore invite all my fellow cit
liens, those at home as we'll as those who
may be at sea or soiourning in foreign
lands to set apart and observe Thursday,
the oath day of November as day of
national thanksgiving to come together
III their several places of worship for II
service of praise and thanks to Almighty
God for all the blessings of the year, the
mlldnesS of the seasons and the fruitful
ness OF the soil, for the continued prosper
ity OF the people. for the devotion and
Valor OF our countrymen for the glory
OF our victory and the hope of righteous
peace, and to pray that the divine guild
ance which has brought heretofore to safe
ty and honor, may be graciously continued
IN the years to come.
In witness whereof, etc.
WILLIAM MKINLEY.

OF State

Lemhi Indians Are Worthless. but
Many others Are Doing We'll.

Washington, Nov. The majority Of
annual reports of Indian agents TO the
commissioner Of Indian affairs are OF en-
couraging nature and Indicate progress
generally along civilized lines.

so gratifying. and make some surprising
statements. Unusual in the annual report
is the following arraignmcnt in the report
in the report of +. NJ. Yerian, in charge
of the Lemhi Indians in Idaho. lie says:
"They are addicted to gambling, horse
racing and dancing and the influence OF
the so-callcd medicine man operates to
the disadvantage of the tribe. Their real
advancement has not been what it should
or what it was possible to have been under
the circumstances. In the agents annual
report for 1882 on the Lcmhi reservation
| find 20 Indian families were engaged ia
farming; IL years after | can report but
Al following agricultural pursuits, an in
crease Of II, not one convert year"
Agent Fuller of the Blackfoot agency
Montana, referring to the opening of the
ceded portion under mineral land laws
last April, says prospecting has been
practically fluitless and predicts aban-
donment of the so-called mineral strip be-
fore the first of November.

Cubnns VIII Not work.

The majority OF the insurgents here
have no money, and 90 about living from
hand to mouth wondering what will hap
pen next. Armed men are not allowed
rations. As the Cubans will not disband
and will not work, nothing remains but
for them TO strut about the city with ma
chetes and revolvers. Some OF them are
nearly naked, Others appear i'll long-eg
ged patent leather boots with silver spurs,
carrying superbly wrought Toledo ma
chetes. \ few wear immaculate white
suits and Panamas. They are for the
most part the New York contingent, each
man now vertable bombasto fulioso.

boat Hist, when brought him here, Gen
ersal Wood is bcsegcd by these seekers
OF Office. Among the interviews he has
had was one with General Rios, who
wanted the mayor OF ManAnilo, one of
Rabis faction dismissed and his own man
appointed. General Wood asked on what
grounds the dismissal could be sustained.
lie said rs not the mayor competent
officer Has he not. AN. excellent reputa-
ton? Did ne not serve bravely and eff
fectively throughout the war;
To all this General Rios replied in the
affirmative, but he insisted that his own
nominee was entitled to the position be-
cause he was Rios man. The interests
OF the city and locality were apparently
minor considerations in the mind of the
Cuban commander But this appears to
be the case everywhere among the Cuban
insurgents.

Wood, in order to pacify the I,ios fac
ton, has given them SIX positions in
rural police forces and turned over 10
one OF their people the lighthouse at Cape
Cruz, together with several other minor
appointments. But neither party is sat
isiied, each thinking that it ought TO have
all the offices. General Rios does not
dare cypress his opinion publicly on Cen
cNl Rabi, but he feels that this is his
district, as he has had the nominal charge
OF it for three years and that it ought
to belong to him As far as appointments
OF Cubans TO Office are concerned, and all
the more so because he represents General
CaliXto Garcia.
