ASSURANCE OF LOYALTY.

Washington, oct. 24-The following
unique assurance OF loyalty TO the gov
ernment has been received at the In
dian bureau from the Grand Marais band
OF Chippewas OF Minnesota:
'The great father-The grand Marais
band OF Chippewa Indians Of Minnesota
are in council this evening, 18th OF Oc-
tober. 1898. We wish to say TO you that
our forefathers for many generations
have lived here i'm the eastern part OF
the state of Minnesota when there were
great many Indians and very few
white men. and we have never heard OF
them committing any depreciation or
wronging any white man or the govern
ment up TO the present time.
The reason we say this to you is that
we hear OF those foolish Indians at Bear
island, Leech lake. of the wrong they
are doing and the mistake they have
made in fighting the government and
its laws. We also hear OF what this
Chief Bug Nah Ge-Shi said when
holding upon his right hand To heaven
he declared that all the Chippewas of
Minnesota were backing him. When we
heard of this remark that he made we
did not like ii. We are now living in
peace and hope that we will continue
living so. We like all our friends, the
pale faces, and they like us. We are
christians and live up to the rules of our
church. The bible tells us in the fifth
commandment. thou shalt not kill, and
how could we wrong our neighbor? We
say now as Indians living in the east of
Minnesota that we do not. approve o.
what the Bear island Indians are doing,
and we do not propose TO help them or
encourage them"

Operations OF His Fleet Before IN,
Cervera Spisode.

Ceryefa Spisode.
Washington, Oct 24.-The navy depart-
ment has made public that portion OF
Admiral Simpsons report covering the
conduct of the fleet under his command
In its operations in the West Indies for
about two months prior 10 the destruc-
ton OF Admiral Cervera's ships on July
3. 1t is made up largely of Official dis
patches and the movements OF the feet
with explanations and comment by the
admiral.
Regarding his action at San Juan
May II the admiral says: 1t was clear
TO my own mind that the squadron would
not have any great difficulty in forcing
the surrender OF the place, but the fact
that we should be held several days In
completing arrangements for holding IL:
that part OF our force would have TO be
left TO await the arrival OF troops TO
garrison; that the movements OF the
Spanish squadron. our main objective.
We're still Unknown; that the flying
squadron was still north and not in a
position TO render any aid: that Havana.
Cervera's natural objective. was thus
open To entry by such a force as his.
while we were 1000 miles distant, made
our immediate movement toward Ha-
Vana imperative. j thus reluctantly
gave up the project against San Juan
and stood westward for Havana"
Sampson apparently felt certain of the
presence OF the Spanish al Santiago. and
urged that the harbor must be block
AIDED at all hazards. Schley In the mean
time had proceeded 10 Santiago. al
though IL appears not the same day Ad-
miral Sampson expected. At one time
Commodore Schley contemplated going
to Key West with the squadron for coal.
but this was abandoned. The repairs To
his collier having been temporarily re-
paired and the necessity for a trip TO
Key West being avoided. Santiago was
then blockaded. The admiral congratu-
lated the commodore on his success and
directed him TO maintain close block
ade at all hazards, especially by night.
