men.
Says he, "The corporations are simply tax
ing advantage of the opportunity the patriot
ism Of the people affords them to establish a
large army. The corporations have been look
ing for an opportunity for long time to in
crease the strength of the army, and now they
think they have got it. l have been asked ev-

none of the new artificial citizens and persons

States have shouldered their guns or offered to
do so; but, as the court declares that the corpo-
rations are persons and citizens, with all the

INDIANS ARE RESTLESS.
An Uprising Expected by the Sioux in
Nebraska.

Denver, May 16.-From the tenor OF
communications received by Colonel
Sumner during the past few days, 1t
appears that the Indians in the de-
partment of Colorado and Missouri,
which are under his command, are dis
playing an unusual restlessness which
bodies no good for the settlers in the
vicinity OF the various reservations.
The danger of an outbreak in Arizona
has become so imminent that Colonel
Sumner has ordered two troops of cav
airy from Fort Huachuca to the Next
can boundary line with orders to move
at once along hat line from Nogales,
Arizona, to the the gulf OF California,
observing a strict patrol of the entire
border. Another troop has been or
dered from Fort Grant to Fort
Huachuca to garrison the latter while
the troops are in the field and to be
prepared to assist these troops in case
of trouble. One troop Of the Sth cav-
airy recently vas ordered from Fort
Meade. s. D.. to Fort Washash, Wyo.,
and there is a probability thai the
force will be sidetracked and sent to
Fort Niobrara. Neb., instead. Colonel
sumner to-day received a petition for
troops from a large number of settlers
i'm the portion of Nebraska adjoining
the Sioux reservation. who believ the
Sioux are planning a wholesale mas
sacre of whites.

~
ton of Neutrality.
Honolulu. May 10, via a Francisco.
May l6.-The Hawaiian government
will not proclaim neutrality. This
stand is taken on account of the exist
ing relations between the United states
and Hawaii. The executive considers
a proclamation of neutrality would be
a breach of good faith. The govern
ment made known its decision yester-
day at a session of the senate when, II
is said. the senators favored the stand
taken by President Dole.
mother important matter considered
at the same session was the occupa-
| ton bill, which. II ratified by the SEN
ate, will allow the United States to
raise the American flag over the ISL
ands and use the same as a base Of
supplies. This measure is said TO have
been prepared with the knowledge of
the members Of the American senate
committee on foreign affairs and has
! had the approval of President Mckin
ley. This bill was received by the
Hawaiian government but a short time
ago and has had the careful attention
! of President Dole and his cabinet. The
members OF the senate questioned the
executive yesterday regarding the fore
going measure. They were Informed
that the measure was under considera-
ton and that IL would be unwise to
make II public at this time.
When the bill IL given to the senate
that body will ratify IL at once. On
this point there does not seem to be
any doubt. IL was extensively report
ed i'm the business community on the
eth that Spain. through agents here,
was buying all the coal to be a i'm
the island. The consul for Spain de-
MED the story and said that there was
not q word OF truth in II.
That a coal famine is imminent there
can hardly be any doubt. Last week
stocks were lower han in many
months, scarcely 5000 tons being on
hand and only one house has coal for
| sale. and will only consent to sell In
quantities to satisfy immediate de-
mands. United States Consul General
Haywood has been watching the situa-
tion keenly and has strongly fortified
Americas position. He has $500 tons
Of coal on hand at the present time,
with cargoes afioat bound for this port.
In less than a month the United States
will have 400 tons Of coal at this port,
a very respectable amount.
The steamship Rio Janeiro arrived
from San Francisco on the eth, bring
ing news OF the wal between the
United States and Spain. Captain
Nichols was seen on board the Ben

dispatches. and also after he had n

THE PUNISHMENT IS DEATH.
Three Suspects Arrested While Providing
Around Sandy Hook.

New York. May 16.-The guards at
Sandy Hook ave discovered three men
prowllng about in a small row boat who
were captured by the coast patrol. The
men could not give satisfactory expla-
nation of their presence in the waters
near the fortiicatiops and adjacent to
the mine fields. and were therefore
made prisoners and turned over TO the
authorities on the Hook. There have
been so many interferences with the
submarine mines in the bay that the
patrol guards concluded to take no
chances, and turned the prisoners over
to the army officers in charge of the
defense, to be dealt with as they may
see AT. Thu punishment that woul
follow a conviction by oourt-martia for
spying upon the Notifications in the
interest Of the enemy would be death.
Lieutenant Hale, who has been des-
ignated by Major General Merritt to
give out such Information as Is proper
at Governors island, said that he had
no information about the arrest or de-
tention OF three men at Sandy Hook.
Officers In communication with patrol
boats refuse 10 talk about the affair
further than TO admit that three men
had been taken from a boa and turned
over to the authorities at Sandy Hook.
They declined to give the names OF
the men.
