CLAIMS MAY BE PAID
SUFFERERS FROM WAR IN SAMOA
MAY BE REIMBURSED.
Matter Now Under Consideration by
many and the United States.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The three gov
ernments interested in Samoa, Great Brit
ain, Germany and the United States, have
been considering the claims arising out of
the bombardment last summer, in which the
American forces under Admiral Kautz and
the British forces under Captain Strude,
participated. As a preliminary step the
British government has signified a purpose
TO adopt in this case the principle observed
in the damage done by the Commandment of
Alexandria, Egypt, namely, that private
property destroyed as a necessary incident
to the prosecution of naval and military
operations, would be paid for. While ap-
plying this general principle. the adjustment
of the various claims Is yet TO be made ac-
cording to the circumstances OF each. The
claims are being considered under the main
heads, namely: Those arising from the joint
naval operations OF the British and the
American forces, and. second, those grow
ing out of the operation of the Samoan
natives, chiefly the followers of Mataafa.
Under the first head, caused by the
British-American operations, are included
the claims resulting from the actual bonn
bardment, such as damages done by shells,
and also those resulting from the demolition
of buildings and like incidental damage to

necessary as a means of checking the native
uprising. The damage done by shells and
projectiles has turned out TO be compare
lively small and much larger amount is for
the incidental destruction and damage of
houses and property as a precautionary
measure.
The second class of claims, growing out Of
Gepredatiors by Samoan natives, has been
more difficult Of adjustment The officials
have hesitated TO impose a heavy money
burden on the Samoans, and yet they have
felt IL essential that the Samoans should
understand that they cannot cause whole
sale damage TO the property OF the whites,
and then go free of obligation. Thus far 1t
has not been possible TO formulate even a
general principle for consideration Of this
class of claims.
1t Is understood that the British and Ger
man authorities are agreed on the general
principle that the bombardment and naval
claims should be reimbursed. This, how-
ever. 1t Is asserted. imposes no obligation on
Germany to share in meeting the claims,
as the German forces did not participate in
the bombardment. 1t is said. also, that no
proposition has been made to have Germany
pay a part of the Samoan damage done by
the Mataafa forces. The course OF the
United States has not yet been fully de-
ermined. either as TO the bombardment or
the claims arising from native Expectations.
So far as known all the claims under con-
sideration are for property loss. there being
no present basis for estimating claims for
the loss of life among the British-American
forces during the operations.

special to the indianapolis .aurnal.


RUSHVILLE, Ind, Sept. 2.-Blood-
hounds from North Vernon were this even
ing placed on the trail of the Milroy bank
robbers. The bank has been kept locked
all day in order that the dogs might get a
good scent. The attempt to rob the bank
was during a rainstorm, shortly after mid
night this morning. Milroy is eight miles
south Of this city and DR.. III. c. Hampton,
while returning from a professional call,
discovered the robbers at work and alarmed
the citizens. A posse was hastily formed
and the robbers were surprised. There were
four men in the gang and they left the
bank so hurriedly that all tools We're left
behind. The robbers went to the Big Four
road and through the entire distance there
was a running fire from guns and revolvers
between the robbers and the posse. A
hand car was seized and the robbers es-
capped n~orthward. The car was found this
morning at the edge of town and ditched.
When surprised the robbers had knocked
off the knobs and tumblers. had drilled
the hole and were about to put in the dyna-
mite. 1t is thought that between $2o,OU
and $50, 600 in cash and securities were In
the safe. but it cannot yet be opened be-
cause of the damage done TO IT,. The bank
is a private institution and has been in ex-
istence less than a year. but it is the de-
pository for many of the wealthy farmers
of the neighborhood. Cashier Allison has
offered a large reward for the arrest of
the robbers.

YAQUIS HAVE SCATTERED
NOW wAGINGA GUERILLA WARFARE
AGAINST THE MEXICAN TROOPS.
Latter Adopting the Same Tactics, but
Are Suffering Severely-Mfners
Fleeing to Save Their Lives.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 25.-Judging from
reports reaching here to-day from Ortiz.
State of Sonora. Mexico, the Yaqui Indian
warfare is rapidly growing worse instead
of abating. Lieutenant Majeran has ar
rived at Torres on his way to the City of
Mexico TO make official reports as TO the
progress of the campaign. He says there
has been no cessation in the warfare being
waged against the Indians by the Mexican
government. He reports that the Indians
nave scattered into small bands and are
now vigorously waging a guerilla warfare
and that the Mexican soldiers nave adopted
similar tactics and are also divided into
small scouting parties and that there are
frequent engagements between the soldiers
and the Indians. The Indians avoid open
engagements with the soldiers, rather har-
RAISING them with attacks from secure posi-
tions in the mountains and along the rough
mountain roads. not infrequently causing
much loss of life among the soldiers with
little harm to themselves.
General Torres, in command of the Next
can troops, asks the Mexican War Depart
ent to send a force of Rurales to assist
him, as 1t Is thought they can render very
effective service against the Indians. The
Yaquis hold the rurales in great dread, as
they are their old-time enemies and a most
formidable foe.
During the past ten days a great many
miners have arrived at Ortiz. having been
driven out of the mountains by the threat
ening situation, and all bear tales of MUIR
der and bloodshed. Dozens of skirmisb
fights have resulted in a number of soldiers
and Indians being killed and several min
ers have lost their lives. Many of them
have deserted paying mines in order to save
their lives. The entire country tributary
to the uprising Is In a state of fermenta-
ton and all the Americans are leaving as
rapidly as possible. Dividing the soldiers
into small squads %scatters the war over a
wider range Of mountain territory and
every section of the Yaqui country is ter
rOriZPd.
