From our Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, April 30, 1903.
Complaints of tardiness on the
part of the administration in push
ing the war against Spain are grow
ing louder each day. as indications
increase that the administration is
expecting very long war, instead
of very short one. The speech of
Representative Dingley, who prob
ably voiced the sentiments of Nc
Kinley, on the bill to provide war
revenues for the government, which
has just passed the House, indicated
his belief that the war would last
for years. He could not be proper
ly answered, because nobody cared
to get up and say things they knew
to be true that would be construed
by Spain and Europe as meaning
that there was a division of senti-
ment among Americans as to this
war. The same feeling has prevent
ed public criticism of the remark
able state Of unreadiness in which
the War Department was found to
be when Mckinley finally gave up
his jack o'lantern hope Of securing
the freedom of Cuba through peace
full negotiations. The people do
not want long war, and do not be-
lieve that there is any occasion fer
one. Fitz Lee, who is good mill
tary authority, and who has care
fully been over the ground, has said
that with 10000 men and the CO.
operation of the navy Havana could
be taken in IS days. That many
troops. three-fourths of them regu-
lars. could be landed in Cuba in 4s
hours after an order was issued, and
the navy is already there. But
there is no such order. Instead,
there is lot of talk about the ne
cessity of the I2s,ooo volunteers
just called out remaining several
months in camps ofinstruction. and
of the probability of the Spaniards
being allowed to remain in Cuba un.
til fall, unless the insurgent army
can drive them out, or the blockade
starves them out. Mckinley calls
this war for humanity, but a con-
tinuation Of the blockade Of Cuban
ports without capturing them will
result in starving as many women
and children to death as Butcher
Weyler's policy did. The Spanish
army in Cuba isn't suffering for
food-they prepared for the block
ade-but non-combatants are.

A Needed Notification.

For some time past the Indians
on Siletz reservation have been
asking for modification of some
OF the conditions of the allotment
treaty with United States, made in
1895.
They desire that when one of
their number dies his land may be
placed on the market and sold, his
heirs to receive the money and use
1t IN improving their homes. Since
the allotment was made $50 of their
number have died leaving 12, 900
acres of the best land on the reser-
vation to heirs who have no use for
II at all. Al this rate in a few
years very small number will
own the entire reserve, eighty acres
OF which is all one of them can
cultivate. They ask that the
balance OF about $1oo, 900 be paid
to them at once, that they NAV
receive the benefit of its use while
life allows its enjoyment. Manv
are old and wish to use this money
topurchase needed comforts. Tbev
90 not like to live as they now do
and at death have their share of
this money go to others. Thew
also wish to be allowed TO lease
their lands for as long a period as
ten years so the renter can fence
ana clear them and have time dur
Ing the life of the lease to obtain
reward for his labor. This a three
year lease will not permit. Thew
also desire to be made full citizens

lection of our civil courts lust the

A dispatch in the Oregonian says
the Navara struck rock on the
bar and sprung a leak which caused
her to return, unload and repair
before putting to sea. 1t is mis-
leading from the fact that the
Navara never struck rock on the
bar if she was in the channel. That
she struck is due to her being out
of her place-out of the channel.
We never kick about the truth con-
cerning Yaquina bar, but enter a
protest at a lie.

Oregon represented by Hon. Thos.
Tongue should feel very grateful
to him for the labor done in secur-
ing, during the late war, the letting
of the contract for Yaquina bar i'm

preciate this labor can be seen bv
facial expressions when he appears
and by kindest words in conversa-

his election, in that it robbed us of

only justice to Mr.. Tongue to say
he has done remarkably we'll during

1t will be noticed the Oregonian
says 1.-THE firm to whom the con.
tract is let will not be likelv to
undertake anything beyond prepar-
atory work until another appropri-
alton is made" As we understand
the matter, the provisions of the
contract made it obligatory on the
part of the contractor to begin the
work before a specified time, that
he was to spend SIS, 5000 per month
during each month from Nav to
November, each year and during
the rest of the year could drop 10
$9,o per month. Whether that
IS the amount spent on what the
Oregonian terms preparatory work.
or not, it is enough to satisfy people
that the good work will be accom-.
plished as soon as possible.

Some time ago Attorney Pipes
filed a bill against the county for
$3.50 for services in the Lands.
Jones cases. Our board of county
commissioners told him he had
over-estimated the value of his
services, and the court said further
that when the board received his
receipt in full, he should receive
$3.50; otherwise he must sue. A
few days since the receipt arrived
the warrant drawn and the matter
settled. During the first work on
the case Mr.. Pipes was paid $500,
and, with the last payment, re-
ceived $3.50 for his services. II
was amply sufficient.

ietty 21oo feet and the south jetty
1000 feet, removing rock from the
channel and placing more rock on
the present jetties, were opened
yesterday by Major w. L. Fisk,
corps United States engineers.
Eight bids were presented, rep
resentative of each bidder being
present when the bids were opened.
Following IS a list of the bidders
and the total amount of each bid:
Christie, Lowe & Heyworth,
of Chicago. ..$5I1,945
Wakefield & Jacobson, Port
land. ........ ..... 6o6, 1876
John Herman, Portland. GA, 4,6Io
Daniel Kern, Portland. .. 62o, ,246

California ia.......... 674,688
Campbell & Buckman, San
francisco ............ $50, ,ooo
Columbia Bridge Co, Port
land d....... ........ 047,5 500
The estimated cost of the work was
81 ,o25, 900, but congress ordered
that the contract should not exceed
81 600, 900 and the $25, 900 then
appropriated. This SIS 900, minus
the amount expended in taking
care OF the plant, etc., is all that is
now available for the work, so the
firm to whom the contract is award
ed will not be likely to undertake
anything beyond preparatory work
until another appropriation is made.
The specifications require that the
government shall not be obligated
to pay any more than $500, 900 on
contracts in any one year. The
bids will be forwarded to the de-
partment at Washington, with
Major Fisk's recommendation, and
as the Chicago firm is so much
below every other bidder it is a
foregone conclusion that the con-
tract will be let to it. A bond of
100000 will be required of the
successful bidder for the faithful
performance of the contract.-Ore-
gonian, Oct. 26.
