Indians AfO0t,

William T. Larned. In May Lppincott's.
Gen. Crook is quoted by Mr.. Edward 8.
Ellis as having seen an Apache lope for
l.500 feet up the side OF a mountain with
out showing the first sign Of fatigue, there
being no perceptible increase of respira-
lion. Capt. III. l.. Scott. of the Seveath
Cavalry. has related some astonishing
feats performed by the Chirachua Apaches
forming troop l. OF his regiment. He tells
how nine OF these Indians after a hard
days work. by way OF recreation pursued
coyote for two hours, captured the nim-
BILE brute. and brought Il into camp: how.
on another occasion. the scouts gave chase
10 4 deer. ran it down some nine miles
from camp, and fetched ii in alive. Hence
/ see no good reason for doubling the
word of an oId-timer I met in the Rocky
Mountains. who told me that. in the days
before tine Atlantic a. Pacific railroad was
built. the Pima Indians OF Arizona wodld
recover settlers stray horses. along the
overland trail. by walking them down in
the course of two or three days.
After this one may begin TO believe
that Lying jim Beckwourth. whose re-
markable adventures early in this century
are preserved in book form. was a much
rnaiiened man, and that he spoke no more
than the truth when he said he had known
instances of Indian runners accomplishing
upwards of 10 miles in one day.

OUR RIGHTS IN
THE PHILIPPINES.
Can Hang On TO Them Unfii Spain
Pays . War Indemnity

NEW YORK, May s.-Frederick r.
who represented the United States In the
Kering sea commission. In an interview
gave his views of the disposition OF the
Philippines as follows.
1.-THE United States has the right to
either hold the Philippines for indemnity
or to keep them altogether. as part OF her
ferritory. just a. Germany took Aisace-
Lorraine In the Franco-Prussian war. We
may Keep possession Of them until hostii-
tiles are ended and then their disposition
viii be one OF the factors In the making
Of peace.
I'VE would. OF course. have to respect
the vested rights of other nations on the
islands. II there are any. These rights
would include coa.inr stations. liens or
mortgages on custom houses and claims
of that nature. Spain cannot give US any
more than she owns.
''If we find sufficient indemnity nearer
home. for instance. In Cuba, we would
possibly content ourselves with holding
A
as a military or naval base. but il ade-
quate indemnity could not be procured in
this hemisphere. then We would hold Ma
Mia until Spain pays UP. Some arrange
ment could be made whereby we would
keep possession for a certain number OF
years. while Spain was paying the INSTALL
ments of the indemnity. This is al q
matter OF contract and agreement be-
tween nations.
I'm regard TO the selling or transfer Of
the islands to another power by the
United States that could not be done until
1--WE had a valid title TO the island. which
can be obtained only by treaty Of peace
with Spain. in which she cedes the islands
to US. Otherwise we would be selling a
disputed title and the country that pur-
chased 1t would have to reckon with Spain.
The law Is thu same among the nations
In this respect as among private persons.
This law was observed between France
rand Austria in 1853. when Piedmont was
France turned over to King Victor
Emanuel.
1.-THE theory Of modern times is that
princlpality or a province should not be
turned over TO another without the con-
sent of its people and a plebescite Is usu-
al.v held, as I'm the case Of Nice and
Savoy.
''once having secured the title from
Spain, however. by treaty OF peace,
there could be no legal international OBJ
lection 10 our disposlng OF the islands.
either by ceding or selling them to any
nation We chose. or by offering them to
the highest bidder, but such a proceeding
would cause Jealousy and bad feeling
among the nations.
But this is not war OF conquest. and
/ do not think the United States would
resort to any such practice. But We have
"A legitimate claim against Spain for the
expenses of the war. and Spain must pay
the costs. When that Is done, the United
States. believe. will relinaulsh all claims
TO thu Philippines and return them to
Spain"

SAN FRANCISCO. May She present
war with Spain has impressed upon the
people OF San Francisco the necessity Of
q Geographic cable between this city and
the Farraion Islands. which are located
twenty-eight mics west Of the Golden
Gate.
A signal station there could give early
information Of the approach OF a hostile
feet. and would be OF great value IN time
OF peace. as incoming vessels would be
sighted much earlier than is now possible.
Gov. Budd has wired to Senator White
asking him to call the attention OF the
administration TO the matter. A cable
would not cost more than $4,000 and could
be laid within month.
