INDIAN ARISTOCRATS
WHO ARE NOT FORCED TO WORE
FOR A LIVING
Thousand-Acre Farms Supplemented
by Cash Income of Each Member
of the Family

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Usage
Indians are probably the wealthiest people
per capita on earth, are aristocrats and
scorn manual iabor according to General
Poilocl:'s annual report to the Interior De-
partment They own over 800 acres OF land
Tor each man, woman and child, each re-
ceivlng an annuity OF over $500 in cash. As
an illustration, if an Indian and his wife
have eight children, the annual cash income
of the family is over $1,000. Rather leading
his white brother in this respect he prefers
the convenienccs, luxuries and designations
of village to agricultural avocation, he likes
to sing and dance and he has plenty OF
money to support his family in idleness.
Indian Agent Stephens of the Crow Creeks
reports that a serious nuisance and detrl-
ment to progress, to correct which agents
would have to cooperate, is lnter-trlbal VS.
iting demoralizing to the Indians, encourag-
ing idleness and nomadic habits, abandon
ment of the crops, reckless distribution OF
property as presents and neglect OF stock.
Action to minimize this mischief is urged.
Captain Cornish of the Uintan and Ouray
agency in Utah complains in his report that
there never has been any determination OF
the claim of the Uncompaghre, White River
and Southern Utes on account OF the session
of about 5000, 600 acres of land to the United
States under treaty of 1880 in considera-
ton of certain benefits. The treaty required
that the land should be subject to cash en-
try only, and that the proceeds after reim-
bursement to the United States for sums
appropriated and set aside in the Ute act,
and paying Tor the lands which might be ced-
ed to the Utes by the United States out
side of their reservation at Sl.25 per acre,
should be deposited to their credit in the
treasury, the interest payable to the Utes
annually with the rest OF the annuity money.
This claim has not been settled and no state
ment made as to the amount OF money coll
lected for this land. The agent says:
"It does not appear that the United States
has ceded any lands outside of their reser-
walton; if the late Uncompaghre reservation
is considered to have been so ceded, it has
practically again been absorbed by the
United States. l believe the government
has apportioned from this Colorado land q
large timber reserve, for which it seems to
me the Indians are justly entitled to pay.
The matter should be carefully investi-
gated"
The denial of the rights of these Indians
to hunt in their old reservation in accord
ance with the Colorado game laws is COM
planned of as an injustice and violation of
their treaty rights, and the agent recon-
mends securing through Congress some COM
pensation for loss of the right

LACK OF RAIN
Reduces California's Output Of Gold
bv Half

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov l7-Mine own
ers throughout the state are discussing the
effect upon CALIFORNIA; gold output for the
scarcity of water in the mountains caused
by the prolonged dry spell. Colonel Doo-
little, who is interested in Placer county
mines, says that the prevailing dry weather
is having the effect of diminishing that
county's yield of gold almost so per cent.
A. NJ. Mcdonald, another prominent min
ing man, estimated that the gold output
of Tuolumne county has fallen off more
than 39 per cent because of an insufficient
water supply.
Julian Sonntag has just returned from an
extended tour of some. OF the mining coun-
ties. He says:
"All the mines about Nevada City are
shut down and only three at Grass Valley
are being worked. In Tuolumne county
and at other points many mines are id,-
and wiQ remain so until heavy rains come.
A great many mines have not been worked
for months because of lack oil water"

He carried no baggage except a rubber
slicker, pajama and tooth brush. The
wounded were carried back to Siboney,
and, while the hospital was somewhat con-
gested, the men were well attended to.
He said the privations of the war were
not so serious as Indian campaigns he had
been engaged in. There had been no occa-
sions when his command had to live on
corn and others when there was nothing
to be had except horse meat and burro
meat.
"Bnt that" he said, "was not in the news
papers"
He was satisfied that most of the com
plants against the camp were unfounded.
Many of these complaints were made by
men and women who had never seen mer.
in camp. Approaching the situation, the
soldiers had 'played it on" the visitors,
making complaints that were without foun.
dation in order to get delicacies.
Soldiers like to be made babies Of" he
said, "and some of them soon got SO they
would not eat their regular rations."
General Young concluded his testimony
with the statement that the soldiers were
far better cared for than they had been in
the civil war.

Associated Press Special Wire,

HAVANA, Nov. l7.-As cabled yesterday,
the date for the Spanish evacuation has
been definitely settled as January /. All
the Spanish troops remaining in the island
will be quartered under the protection OF
the United States, in camps especially desig-
mated, pending embarkation for Spain. The

will be commenced under Colonel Heckers
directions upon a railroad from Casa Blanca,
on the east side Of Havana bay, to Guiana

transportation of commssary supplies.
General Greene will personally lay out the
camps on each side of the Ceuto water works,

subsequently added to the amount.
In response to further questions, the wit

that time he claimed he was so i'll that all
he wanted was to be let alone.
