Sioux Falls Press. 10: States At

the supreme court for a decision in the
motion for a new trial in the Darlington
murder case, which was argued before

customary in criminal matters to render
a decision at the earliest possible date,
but this case seems to be an exception.
At least if the report is true that the
court is enjoying its summer vacation
and will hand down no opinion until
September. But Darlington can stand
chis delay if anybody can.

For some time the government neg.

$500 from settlers committing entries in

Peace Negotiation Could he Opened BE.
tween Toral aud Shafter.
WASHINGTON, July 20. -One of the
ablest members Of the diplomatic corps
in Washington, the am assador of a
continental power, suggested that if
Spain or the United States were de.
sirous OF inaugurating a peace move.
ment an easy an effective means of SO
doing was now at hand without re.
course to any foreign intermediary.
This, he pointed out, could be done
through the American and Spanish
generals at Santiago, who, during re.
cent days, have been brought into
close communication concerning the
details of the surrender of Santiago.
The incident has served to show that
General Toral was in direct communi.
cation with Madrid, and his action was
responsive to the wishes of his govern.
ment. 1t is also we'll known that Gen.
eral Shafter had at all times
been guided by the direct
advice and instructions OF the Wash.
ington government. This for the first
time since the war brought the two
governments into direct communica.
ton, and while this was confined solely
to Santiago it has been suggested that
it affords an opportunity for a much
wider range. II Madrid desires to take
the opportunity OF learning what peace
terms will be afforded, then such an
official inquiry through General Toral
to General Shafter would doubtless
bring a response. This mode of action
was suggested in q conjectural way,
but as Offering the most practical
means OF direct communication on the
subject of peace. Whether either gov
eminent will avail itself of the oppor
tunity remains to be seen. as there is
no intimation thus far that Madrid de-.
sires peace overtures, and certainly
there is no purpose at Washington to
such a movement.

amount Of the tax. The commissioner
has also held that receipts used as checks
to draw money from banks are subject
to the stamp tax. 1t is said that several
banks, in order to avoid the stamp tax,
are accepting receipts for cash which,
according to the letter of the law, are

has decided that under those circum-
stances receipts to all intents and pur-
poses are checks, and therefore must be

Indian Commissioner Jones prepared
the papers necessary to secure for the
Slsseton Indians of South Dakota an
other allotment of $4,000 with which to
clear up the tribal debts and to purchase
supplies Of various kinds for their own
use. The Indians first made application
for a payment outright of 100000, but
this request was disapproved by the sec
rotary Of the interior. On q report from
Agent johnson, however, the president
directly allotted them 100000 out of the
tribal funds now in the treasury. Papers
were prepared to-day and will be sent to
him for an order for the payment of $780,
600 more. It is said this is the limit OF
the !gnds and will be given this tribe.
They have to depend on themselves in
future, and will only be paid the interest
due them from now on.
