Some Exceptions to Reports of General
Advance in Civilization.
Washington, Oct. 31.-The majority
Vt the annual reports Of Indian agents
to the commissioners of Indian affairs
are of an encouraging nature and in
dictate a progress generally along civil
lied lines. Some of the reports, how
ever are not gratifying. E. M. Yearian,
in charge of the Lemhi agency in Idaho,
says:
These Indians as tribe are honest
and peaceable and kindly disposed. but
are about as degraded and ungrateful a
set as one finds. They have been hu-
mored, and, like spoiled children, want
things their way, and their condition,
mode of living and barbaric practices
would indicate that undue concessions
have been made on the part of agents.
While some will avail themselves of the
opportunity of earning their living by
civilized pursuits, others lead a lazy,
vagabond life. They are addicted to
and the influence of the so-called med
icine man operates to the disadvant-
age of the tribe.
'Tn the agents annual report for 1882
/ find that twenty-nine Indian families
were engaged in farming; fifteen years
afterward I can report but forty-one
following agricultural pursuits, an in
crease Of twelve, not quite one convert

practically the same as twenty years
ago; financially they are but little bet
ter off. Aside from few small farms.
wagons and farming implements, held
by some of the more energetic and in
dustrious, they have comparatively
nothing except a great number of
worthless ponies, which If they did not
own they would not be any worse off. /"

eign office shortly before 2 o'clock in

the meeting place.
We Will Take the Philippines.

scented a written expression of the pur-
pose of the United States to take the
entire group of Philippine islands and
to assume such proportion of the Phil
ippine debt as has been spent for the
benefit of the islands or their inhabi-
tants in public works, improvements

set forth that the United States would
not assume any part of the Philippine
debt which had been incurred by Spain
for the furtherance of military or naval
operations to quell instructions of the
natives. The session was adjourned
until Friday, in order to give the Span
iards time to prepare a reply. The ses-
sion lasted little over an hour.

within deadline that has been marked
about the wharves. 1t is no secret that
supplies are stolen from the wharves
by Cubans and taken to the camps In

Barrios, the sentinel belonging to the

stealing stores, and who refused to halt
when ordered to do so, has been ac-
