Army Places All Filled.

WASHINGTON, June S-The senate
yesterday passed the Curtis bill, which
radically changed existing conditions
in the Indian territory. 1t has many
amendments incorporated by the SEN
ate and will have to go to conference
where the differences will be adjusted.
AS passed by both houses, the bill
provides for abolishing tribal rela-
tions, the taking Of lands in severalty,
the appointment of a townsite com
mission, leasing of mineral and oil
lands, and the ratification of the
treaties between the Dawes commits
sion and the five civilized tribes.
After disposing of the war deficiency
bill as passed with the amendments by
the senate, the house considered the
conference report upon the sundry
civil bill. The report, SO far as it en-
bodied agreements, was adopted, and
the house then began voting severally
upon the senate amendments upon
which no agreement had been reached
in conference. Of these there are 45.
I he house considered eight of these,
acting favorably upon three and re-
jecting the remainder. Consideration
will continue to-day. The house ad-
journed pending discussion of a meas
ure to enable volunteer soldiers to vote
at congressional elections during the
war
TO RUSH THE BOND ISSUE
WASHINGTON. June appropriations
are substantially complete at the treas
ury department to invite offers for the
bonds for carrying on the Spanish war
as soon as the bonds are authorized by
congress. There will not be delay
of two days in issuing a circular stat
ing the terms under which the bonds
are offered and inviting bids at par.
Envelopes have already been prepared,
addressed to every national bank, to
the postmaster at every money order
Office and to the representatives of
certain express companies who have
offered TO aid in the placing of the loan.
The circulars announcing the loan will
be placed in these envelopes and dis
patched as soon as the exact terms of
the act of congress are known. 1t
is the present intention to offer $780,
600. 900 in bonds at once, reserving the
right to issue an additional 500, 000,-
900 under the proposals of the minority
of the finance committee, in case an
additional issue becomes necessary.
Thirty days will probably be given
for receiving bids before the loan is al
lotted. Allotments will be made at
once, however, for the full amount of
all bids for $1,000 or less.
WILL MAKE NO ANNOUNCEMENT.
WASHINGTON, June s.-Adit. Gen.
Corbin announced last night that he,
would not make public the apportion-
ment of the volunteer troops among
the states under the second call of the
president. The enlistment of the rs,
900 men called for will proceed. as
heretofore announced, precisely as en-
listments are made for the regular
army The governors of states are
notified by the department how many
men are TO be enlisted in their states
under the second call and how the en-
listments will be made, but this infor-
nation will not be given to the pub
lie by the war department 1t is eX--
pected that the enlistment of troops
will proceed more smoothly than il
would if the quota of each state were
made public at this time. a majority
of the men enlisted will be sent at
once to permanent camps TO fill regi-
ments that are incomplete, the men
being assigned, of course, to regiments
which belong in the localities from
which the recruits come.
