England and the Orient.

The British Government main
tains a sphin1-like reserve regarding
Chinese affairs, and there are no
further revelations OF her intentions,
beyond the statement made by the
Name chester Guardian, on January
Bird, and cabled at the time, which
was unques,ionably the official view
Of the situation. As leading diplo.
mat remarked recently: "The states.
men OF Berlin and St. Petersburg
must be strongly unobservant il
they imagine that either Great
Britain, the United States, or Japan
will allow them the monopoly OF
the plums"
1t is amusing to notice Russia and
France counting Japan. Both of
them are in deadly fear OF her form
ing an offensive and defensive ALI
ance with Great Britain. As .
matter Of fact, there are things
much more unlikely than the
eventual alliance OF Great Britain,
China aud Japan, and the conting-
eucy would acquire still more pro-
liability should Great Britain, as
now seems certain, guarantee a
Chinese loan. At the present mo-
ment, 80 far as Great Britain is con-
cerned, the loan is the kernel OF the
whole question.
1t is not believed that the Chinese
loan, il completed, will affect silver,
as the money is required to pay the
Japanese war indemnity, and would
not be sent to China. Therefore,
silver could net be utilised in part
payment.
The London Stock Exchange con-
tinues to be uDdisturbed. Indeed,
it is believed that current events
will eventually lead to the develop
ment of trade.
The Spectator is much pleased
with the announcement that the
United States is inclined to support
the British demand, that no exclu-
sive privileges be granted to any
individual Power in China, and says:
Nothing short of a direct menace
or aggression would tempt any COM
bination OF the Continental Powers
to face the whole Anglo-Saxon race,
united and resolved. Colonist.

From Hon. Robert l.. Owen

To the Editor Of the Post.
Your pathetic" editorial of the
14th inst, offers me an opportu.
nifty to suggest that an agreement
with the United States would be
wise and preferable to the Curtis
bill in several. important particu-
lars:
1. BY an agreement absolute
personal title might be obtained
which the Curtis bill does not
give.
,. BY all agreement the al
lotment obtained would be free
from interference by persons
claiming mineral rights under a
lease from the secretary OF the
interior.
3. BY an agreement com
pensation might be obtained for
the destruction of personal nron.
erty under the allotment forced bv
the duress of the Curtis bill
4 By an agreement. Common
sation might be made for desirnc
tion of tribal government.
3 By an agreement other tbi,cs
desirable could be obtained wbieh
would be lost by delay, including
national and personal claims
By suit IN court To determine
conslituiionality of Curtis bin We
know abs lu,ely there is no hone
of maintaining tribal government
and the property rights of the in.
dividual citizen and of the nation
can be best protected by an agree
ment. So use your energy and
favorable opportunity to show the
good sense OF making an agree
ment.
If you think it wise and just to
disparage the name of a man who
has secured from the United States
millions of dollars that would
never have been paid the Indian
people, except for his efforts. |

l, 1898, the judge will make no
further order in the cases, now de-

garded as on the chancery docket.
No bills OF exception are required.
Parties can take up certified copies
of the whole record and must COM

cases decided prior to this act, ap-
peals must be perfected by the

STARTED THE BATTLE.
Tom E. Isbell, Cherokee, Fired the
First Shot at La Quasina.

Captain John r. Thomas, jr.,
who was promoted on the field OF
La Quasina from a first lieutenancy
to the command of troop L of the
first United States volunteer cav
airy, popularity known as the
trough riders" is in Washington.
"Our trip from the point of land
ing to Sibony," said Captain
Thomas, "a distance of about
eleven miles, took about three
hours and was over a trail that was
very muddy in parts and crossed
by number of streams.
Thomas E. Isbell, a Cherokee
from Vinita, l. T., was the one TO
make the discovery of the Spanish
forces. He fired the first shot in
that battle and dropped a Span
lard. Isbell was wounded seven
times and then managed to walk
back to the field hospital, three
miles away, to get his wounds
dressed.
"As soon as we learned that the
Spaniards were in advance of us
we deployed the men six feet
apart, advancing into the firing
lines. The Spaniards had some
machine guns ahead of US and our
men received the full force of their
fire. There was also firing from
the right and the left. We were
at this time upon the knoll of a
Hill, the Spaniards being about us
at lower elevations. Before Isbell
discovered the Spaniards a block
house had been seen and we knew
what was ahead ofus
''It was probably half or three
quarters OF an hour after the firing
began that Captain Capron was
killed; and about twenty minutes
after that l was struck as we were
about to make a charge. Our men
had been instructed to save their
ammunition and not fire a shot
unless they saw somethingto shoot
at. Our men and the tenth infan-
try afterward buried about 100
Spaniards, and great numbers of
the killed and wounded among
them were carried to the rear, so
that our fire must have been pretty
accurate.
ED Culver, a Cherokee Indian,
showed himself particularly brave
during the fight. He was along
side Hamilton Fish when the lat
ter was shot. When Fish fell he
said: Pm wounded Culver call
ed back: And I'm killed Cul-
yer was shot through the left lung
the ball coming out of the muscles
of the back. He believed he was
dying, but said if he was to die he
would do the Spaniards as much
damage as possible before leaving.
He continued to fire and sent forty
five bullets at the enemy before
being taken away. At first, after
receiving his wound, he was in a
dazed condition, but after he re-
covered somewhat he shot straight
and rapid"
Captain Thomas spoke espe-
cially of the bravery of Col. Woods
during the battle. The flag near
him received several bullet holes
terough it, but he stood beside his
horse directing the movements of
the troops with utmost GOODNESS.
He showed himself absolutely
fearless.
