Scores the Cherokee Advocate.

1 see in the Cherokee
Advocate of Goth, last month,
dispatch from Washington
with heading placed over it in
the following words: "The In
dians are weakening; they prefer
the Dawes treaty to the passage OF
the Curtis BILL" We are TO pre-
sumo this sickening caption was
stuck up there by some editor who
takes his rank among the enemies
of our country. If the Cherokee
Advocate did not choose its own
headlines in this instance, it, in
the manly discharge of the high
functions with which it has been
clothed by the sovereignty of the
national council, should have met
such a dispatch with able legal
argument setting forth the reasons
why the delegation should not
weaken. No, while there may be
much weakening at that end of the
line, l can assure you and the
Cherokee people at large, there
has been no weakening on part of
this delegation here.
And so the absurdity of the mat
ter. Let any man show wherein
the Curtis bill, or any other bill -,
can hurt our people worse than an
agreement with the Dawes COM
mission would hurt them. Does
not an agreement with the Dawes
commission contemplate the entire
adjustment. not only of our courts,
but also the entire Cherokee gov
eminent, together with allotment
of our lands. the erection of a
white government in our country,
and citizenship of our people in
such white government? There il
this difference, however, between
any bill that may be passed by
congress and an agreement with
the Dawes commission; no bill
passed by congress can take away
our tribal title to our lands, while
the surrender of that title lies at
the very bottom of any agreement
which may be made with the
Dawes commission. Again no,
while the Cherokee delegation may
be overpowered by unlawful meas
ures, they have not weakened to
the extent of one particle. We
viii do our duty if the world comes
to an end.
The Cherokee Advocate should
advocate the rights of our people
itself. That is what it exists for.
Very respectfully,
w. A. DUNCAN.

Deputy United States marshals
have arrested total of sixty seven
persons for the conspiracy that led
to the burning Of the two Seminole
Indians. About twenty ring lead
ers of the mob are still at large,
scouting in the country around
Maud, to escape arrest. The offi-
GERS claim that strong evidence has
been found to show that Palmer
Sampson, as well as Lincoln Nc

for which he was burned. Samp-
son Is said tp have been hirty-fve

pain which was being inflicted
upon him by the mob. He was
hanged half dozen times.

WORK OF c-oNsPIRAToRs.

Cincinnati. June 21.-The finishing DE-
partment of the King Powder company
at Kings Mills. Warden county. was de-
rstroyed Sunday night in a lead
ing to the belief hat 1t was the work of
enemies of the government. The build
ing In which was stored a quantity OF
smokeless powder was evidently fired by
two men near midnight. One Of the men
was badly burned and apparently was
dragged away by his companion. who
ran away In the direction Of South Leb-
anon.
Smokeless powder In the condition 1t
was in in this department does not ex-
pIode like ordinary powder with a fash.
but breaks into a bright light and burns
for some time. The great light attracted
citizens, and some of these met and cap
tured a stranger going toward South
Lebanon. He is apparently a foreigner,
but Is so badly injured that he can
scarcely talk. The powder burned was
not for the government. and the money
loss is only about $4,000. The company
has a contract to supply the govern
ment, and this is thought to be the
reason the destruction Of the plant was
attempted.

Unjust or inconsiderate retaliation re-

would call for retaliation. as the number
of Spanish prisoners is much greater
than that Of American prisoners.
While there is not a positive obliga-
ton upon a belligerent to exchange pris-
eners. yet IL is a universal practice in
civilized warfare. As to Hobson, the
authorities here are convinced that the
Spanish officials are taking advantage
Of the distinction accorded him In the
United States. Under the rules Of war,
q prisoner Is valued solely by his rank.
and IL is considered dishonorable either
TO underestimate a prisoners rank In
order to cause more advantageous ex-

purpose Of obtaining better treatment.
