nilln.
London. April %. - The Hongkong
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
U''nited States Consul General Will
Jams, after spending the evening
ashore with United States Consul
Wildman, accompanied the American
squadron. Thirty insurgent leaders
here wanted to accompany it, but Chief
Aguinaldo goes as their representative.
He will take charge of the insurgent
forces. at Manila. Admiral Dewey
has issued strict orders that NO barbar-
Gus or inhuman acts are to be perpe-
trated by the insurgents.
'"The primary object is the capture
Of the Spanish fleet which Admiral
Dewey thinks more important than
capturing Manila. He is determined
to prevent it's preying upon American
vessels. On reaching Manila he will
demand it's capitulation within half an
hour of his arrival. His men are in the
best of spirits and excellent health.
1.-THE cooperation of the American
fleet with the rebels has been kept a
strict secret. The latter await the ar
rival Of the fleet, when Manila must
sooon succumb. Its defenses are i'll a
wretched state. The Americans in the
Philippines are anxious to see British
rule established there, and the proposal
has beeen favorably received here.

The Usage Indians are said to be the
richest community in the world. They
number but 1923 souls, all told-men,
women and children; they own 1,500,-
900 acres of valuable land; have 49,
100000 in trust with the government,
which pays S per cent. interest, and
have leases with cattlemen for the use
of their pasture lands, which bring
them between $4,000 and $4,000 a
year, without counting the rent from
the agricultural lands and the pro-
ceeds of their own labor. That, how
ever, is very small. They have SO
much money that they are lazy, idle
and in a state of rapid degeneration.
The entire tribe is composed of about
300 families, of which LILO are adults
and $50 are children of school age.
This gives them over 5000 acres Of
land for each family, and more than
$50 acres per capita, with 100000 cash
for every family. Including the grass
money" as they call it, which is receiv-
ed from leasing pastures, the income of
the tribe will average 100000 year,
which is about 5000 per capita, or ST.
600 per family, without any labor what
ever.

dent of the state, and not only reversed
the lower court, but ordered the case

The supreme court in it's decision
warns all district courts to look to the
question of residence in all cases where
divorces are sought by residents of
other states. The stand of the Sill
preme court in this matter is apt to
put a check to the wholesale divorce

SPANIARDS MUST LEAVE.

Portus ais Declaration of Ncutrali-
ty Will Drive Them From Cape
Verde Islands.
Washington, April 29.-The attitude
of Portugal is felt to be more impor-
tant just at present than that of any
Of the great powers of Europe owing
to the presence of the Spanish fleet at
the Cape Verde islands, belonging to
Portugal. Neither the state depart
ment nor the Portuguese minister at
Washington, Viscount de Santo-
Thyrso, had received word up to last
night as to the purpose Of Portugal on
the question of neutrality. This<caused
considerable apprehension in official
circles here, as it was felt that Portu-
gals vicinage to Spain might-induce
her to withhold neutrality for a time.
She owns the Cape Verde group, the
Azores and the Madeiras, which would
give the Spanish fleet three very inn
portant bases of operation. Late in
the day the press dispatch from Lis
bon saying that the cabinet council
would to-day declare neutrality re-
lieved this apprehension considerably.

pei the Spanish fleet at Cape Verde is
lands to leave Immediately. 1t is felt,
however, that Portugal has done her
neighbor a good turn in deferring the
proclamation until to-day, as the fleet
has been laying in stores and coal for
several days past, and doubtless will
be fully equipped and ready to sail be-
fore the neutrality proclamation
forces them out of Portuguese waters.

CUBA SURELY LOST.

neer Press the following: "Since the
capture of the Spanish ship Panama
nothing of startling Importance has
happened off the Cuba coast. The net

about the beleaguered island, and it

carried communication to Gen.

letter that had been struggled from
Havana to a gentleman aboard one Of
the ships patroling the coast. In it the
priter said that the Spanish army Off

termination to fight to the bitter end.
None Of them expressed any doubt
what that end must inevitably be.

they win victory that is dearly

ATTITUDE OF PRELATEs.
Carlists Are Greatly Incensed
1hercAt.

Madrid, April 29.-As counterpoise
to the growing sympathy toward the
Carlists among the people since Don
Carlos raised a vigorous war note
against the United States, the Spanish
cardinals and prelates are now as
sembling here to visit the queen regent
collectively, declaring their adhesion
to and support of the reigning dynasty.
They will endeavor to convince the
people that the queen regent has never
advocated peace at any price, but
thoroughly participates in the enthu-
siasm Of the people to defend the honor
and rights of Spain. This attitude Of
the prelates will cause a sensation
throughout the country, greatly irrita-
ting the Carlists. Tonight Madrid is
absolutely unmoved. The capture Of
the American bark Saranac by
Spanish gunboat near Manila caused
a momentary excitement, but the town
is expectant of the result Of the action
likely to occur off the Philippines and
awaits the outcome with perfect con-
fidence.

There is a great deal of mau6lin
sympathy wasted on the queen regent
of Spain by those persons who do not
remember that she is head and front
of a government responsible for Wey-
Ter. The world fails to understand
how an Austrian princess can so far
forget her civilization as to permit the
murder and starving of hundreds of
thousands of her helpless subjects
without protest Possibly the respon-
sibility rests upon what we call poll
tics" in this country.
