Staff Special to The ST. Paul Globe
WALKER, Mimi. Oct 1.-THE mes
ergers sent to the hostile camp by
Father Aloysius on Monday returned
this morning. They report that they
saw Bug -Wah-Geshig and forty men
in sight More might have been In
hiding. The hostiles are ready to talk
to the priest and to the Indian COM
missioner, but no one else, and threaten
to shoot the marshal or soldiers if they
come. The messengers went to Duck
Point four miles east of the battle
ground. The hostiles agreed to meet
the priest on the battle ground today,
but sent word they would not come
into the agency, and the letter drafted
by Gen. Bacon on Monday and signed
by Indian Inspector Tinker. to be for
Warded to hostil5s, was Withdrawn this
morning and the following substituted:
Gay-She- Gwono-A Ay- Gosh, May-Dwe We
Mind and other Bear Island Indians
My friends / sorry to hear Of your
troubles and have come TO your reservation
for the purpose of settling them. The laws
of the United States are made to do justice
to ALL and they must be obeyed. I earnestly
desire that you shall take into consideration
the proposition of surrendering to the proper
authorities these men for whom warrants are
now in the hands Of the United States mar
shall. AS to those for whom no warrants ars
held they will be allowed to return quietly
and peaceably to their homes, although they
resisted the United States troops. I do not
want an immediate reckless answer from
you, but l wish you to weigh the matter well
before giving a reply. II you think it proper
you might send a delegation to consult with
me at the office of the overseer Of this reser-
walton. We will talk over your difficulties.
and l will guarantee your safe return to Bear
island. W. A. Jones,
Commissioner Indian Affairs
At 4;30 this afternoon a peace COM
mission, consisting of Father Aloysius,
Gay Qua Che Way Bin ING, Gus
Beaulieu and one interpreter, left here
on the steamer Flora to confer with
the bostiles. A good sized stock Of
provisions, intended as a peace offer
ing, was taken along to give to the
Indians, but no ammunition or whisky.
The commission may return this even
ing. but is not expected before morn
ing, as council will probably be held
when the letter from Congressman
Jones is presented.
Gen. Bacons opinion, based on many
years of experience with Indians, Is
that the proposition of the hostles to
talk indicates that they sre weakening
from the position taken and may lay
down their arms without more fight.

and heard nothing of any trouble. At
lake, about four miles south of Sugar
Point, and I and my man made camp
for the night. I there met an agency
Indian, who told me there had been
big trouble, but he did not tell me that
any soldiers had been killed. He said
about twenty of the Bear island squad
had been in bad fight, and had whip
ped the soldiers. He said the agency
Indians were not mixed up in it, and
that he was very sorry it had occurred.
as it meant serious trouble for all the
Indians. The boat Vera was to meet
me at that place at night. I waited un-
til o'clock in the morning, and as the
Vera did not put in an appearance, We
started on the trail for the agency be-
fore daylight. Thursday, while near
Moccastn lake, my man met a party of
Indians and they told him there had
been big fight, that twenty bucks had
been in it and that one had been killed
He was also told he had better get out
OF the country. We hastened to the
agency and walked from there to
Lathrop, and then took an engine back
up the railroad to Walker.
L do not think the Indians will kill
any of the white settlers, but they
claim to have won a great victory over
the soldiers. If Gen. Bacon claims he
won the light, his enemies do not q gree
with him. They think they have driv-
en- him from his position, and it looks
very much like it. They will fight again
II cornered, and the authorities will
have very difficult time in rounding
up the men they want
have no fear of massacre, but
II the authorities want another fight
they can probably have it,

Neither Sampson Nor Schley Caused
Defeat of Cervera.
NEW YORK, Oct 11-Although the
American fleet in the battle off Santi-
ago on July 8 obeyed the general or
ders of Rear Admiral Sampson, given
in advance to meet just such an emer-
gency, 1t was essentially captains"
fight. This is the substance of the re-
port of the naval board which has been
investigating disputed points in the
battle. Rear Admiral Sampson was
not present and the two orders signal
ed by Schley "close in," and engage
the enemy" did no good and were un-
necessary, for the ships had already
closed in and were engaging the enemy
WREN the orders were run up
The full text Of the report must come
from Washington, but many interesting
points were obtained from the navy
yard today after the board, which had
been in session on the Brooklyn, finally
adjourned.
The board finds in q more general
way that each ship in the fleet knew
exactly what to do should Cervera
come out. Each captain fought his
ship on plans prepared and orders Civ
en- by Sampson. Even had Schley di-
rected the general movement of the
fleet in the battle, which it was unnec-
essary for him to do, they would have
been executed because of the previous
order given by Sampson and within his
general orders.
The issues Of the battle, the board
learned, were not affected by any sig
nails that Schley made from his flag
ship. The Oregon dashed out from the
very beginning of the engagement and
kept within range Of the enemy until
the fight ended.

Mr., Hall has charge of the allotment

years ago at the payment of the annuity
the Bear islanders jumped on the table
at the agency while the payment was
in progress and spit In the face of Agent
Shuler, and trouble was only averted
by the deputies of the paymaster be-

Hall does not anticipate any serious

and report that a big council at the
White Earth reservation decided to
mark as outlaws any Indians who join

Campbell is an Indian, who studied
law and graduated at the Minnesota
law school. He practices his profess
sion at the White Earth reservation.
He~favors capturing the hostiles, if it
takes four regiments of troops to do
it. This must be done, he says, if the
Indians are to held under the authority
of the government.

One Good Word Spoken for the
Braves of Bear Island
There were only twenty Indians in
the fight with Gen. Bacon and his men
at Sugar point, Leech lake, last
Wednesday, and but one of them was
killed. said H. B. Frey upon his return
from Walker yesterday. Mr. Frey is
the treasurer of the Nelson-Tenney
Lumber company, of Minneapolis, and
for the past ten years has looked after
the logging interest Of that concern.
Previous to becoming connected with
the Nelson-Tenney Lumber company
he logged in the Northern woods for
himself, and has been in the pine for
ests of Northern Minnesota for the past
twenty-five years. He is perfectly IA
miliar with the country in the vicinity
of Leech lake and is personally ac-
quainted with nearly all of the Indians
on the Leech lake reservation.

Leech lake for the past several weeks"
said Mr.. Frey. "Wednesday, the day
on which the fight occurred, 1 and my
man were in the vicinity of Little Boy

Sugar point. 1 have been on Bear ISL
and and know nearly all Of the Bear
island tribe by name. They are by far
the most industrious and able-bodied
red men in Minnesota. 1 long ago
learned to respect them for their thrift
and independence. About forty-five of
them, with their families, live on the
island, where they have made homes
for themselves. Many Of them have
little garden patches, and they live in
we'll built log cabins, and not in the
primitive huts that the agency Indians
do.
1.-THE Bear islanders have little to do
with the Indians who live at the agen-
cy, feeling that the latter are too lazy
to work and prefer to depend upon the
government. The Bear Islanders, or
Pillagers, as their tribe Is called, are
intelligent, and beside the light farm
ing they do and fishing and hunting
they work on the drives Of logs.
BURDEN OF COMPLAINT.
"Bear island Is about quarters
Of mile from the Shore 1t Is about
two miles long and quarters of
q mile wide. 1t Is covered with hard
wood, and the better parts of 1t have
been cleared by the Pillagers. A num-
Der of the tribe live on the mainland
just opposite the lake, and 1t Is these
who complain that they have been rob-
bed of their timber. They have often
times come to me with their troubles,
saying that the half-breeds and squaw
men from the White Earth reservation
were cutting their timber, and that
somew hites had bought the rightApf
certain agency Indians in dead and
down timber, and were none too care
full about cutting that which was dead
and down. They complained of a ma
hcious destruction Of their property.

Large Audience Liberal.
DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 11.-(Special)-
John Lind, the union candidate for
governor of Minnesota, addressed a
large and unusually enthusiastic audi
ence at the armOry here tonight on the
issues Of the campaign. There were
about 5000 people in the building, and
Mr.. Lind received an ovation when he
appeared. The most prominent Demo-
Gratis and Populists of the city were
on the platform with the speaker.
Dwelling on the money question, Mr..
Lind said: There is properly only one
issue in this campaign. That is the
fair distribution of the products of Ia
bor During the last fifty years there
has been an immense increase in the
products Of labor, but the laborer's
prosperity has not increased according
ly. I do not blame the gold standard
for this unfair distribution. but it is
factor in the unequal distribution. But
in this state the gold standard is not
and cannot be an issue. When the Re-
pUblicans try to force it as an issue
they evade the real issue and put forth
a feigned one"
Mr.. Lind devoted a few remarks to
corporations, saying: "I do not blame
corporations. 1t is merely the abuses I
complain Of"
Mr.. Lind blamed the Republicans for
their alleged mismanagement Of fran
chises and for the swamp land grant,
which he claimed is almost squander-
ed. IF I am elected" he said, 'I will
endeavor to save every acre Of land
that can for the public good. AS to
appointments, If elected, I will not
make indiscriminate removals, but I
Will make them only where 1t is for
the public good.''
Speaking of the national marine pol
icy, Mr.. Lind said: This country has
followed a picayunish policy toward
Canada. I hope to see the day when
vessels will come from the Atlantic
ocean TO the wharves at Duluth. 1 be-
lieve that this can be accomplished
only by using the Welland canal and
the st. Lawrence river. If we must
thus use part of Canada, we should be
liberal toward that country, as we can
not expect much for nothing in return" ;"
Many prominent men Of the parties
whose principles Mr. Lind represents
called upon him today to pledge sup
port and to make encouraging reports.
From Duluth Mr.. Lind goes to CO.

The last time the Indians were paid

eral of the Bear Islanders refused to
go and get their money. They became
sullen and contrary, and trouble has

their chief, and will not be governed by

Chief Falmouth he cannot accomplish
peace by so doing. The Pillagers live
