INDIANS GOING TO MEXICO
Mexican Government Agent In Con-
ference With Prominent Cherokees.

Fort Gibson, I. T, July 2S.-W. J.
Lyon Of the City of Mexico, agent for
the Mexican government, has been here
for two days in conference with some
prominent CherOkees, among them J.
H Dick, well known in Washington, in
relation to the Indian emigration bust
ness.
A reporter had a talk with Mr.. Lyon
In relation to the purpOsed emigration.
He said that matters were progressing
smoothly and that his mission is meet
ing with success He said that about
1000 CherOkees, 5000 Creeks, 5000
Choctaws. 1000 Chickasaws and 1900
Seminoles had signed an agreement to
&C to Mexico, and that more would fol-
low. He said that they were not MAX
ing much talk over the matter, as it
was not necessary, but were doing bus
1ness on the quiet. Agents from the five
tribes have been to Mexico to see the
lands, and, so far as they have exam
dned them, are satisfied.
After the election next month 1t is
expected that a good many Cherokees
Will go to Mexico to see the country for
themselves as the trip will cost them
little or nothing. If the election in the
Cherokee nation next month goes
against the full b1Oods as seems likely
there will probably be a large addition
TO the Mexican colony. Mr.. Lyon leaves
today for the Greek nation, where he

DEWEY TO VISIT BOSTON.
Secretary Long Says the Admiral Will
Go There on the Flagship.

Washington, July 2S-Secretary Long
said today that Admiral Dewey would
go to Boston on the flagship Olympia
the latter part of October.
New York, Washington and Boston
will take precedence over all other
cities in giving Admiral Dewey recep-
TONS" said the secretary. The ad-
miral is expected to arrive in New York
October L 1t will probably take about
two days for him to get through the
festivities incident to his arrival there.
Then he will proceed to Washington to
receive the sword that will be given
him on the steps of the capitol. The
next place to which he goes will be
Boston. The admiral will leave New
York for Boston with the Olympia soon
after his arrival from the capital"
Secretary Long, by request of the
Boston Merchants association, sent an
invitation to Admiral Dewey to attend
a banquet, to be given in his honor on
a date to be fixed by himself. He has
not received a reply yet, and does not
expect one before Dewey's arrival in
New York, but the secretary has no
doubt of his acceptance, and that he
will be in Boston before he goes to any
other city after leaving the capital
Secretary Long may accompany the
naval hero to Boston on the Olympia;
at any rate he will probably be in Bos-
ton when the flagship arrives.

Newspaper Man Says the War Gould

Chicago, July 2S.-Murat Halstead

day en- route to Madison, Wis, where
he is to lecture on the Philippine ques
ton Mr.. Halstead was in the Philip
pines during the late Spanish-American
war. He conversed frequently with
Admiral Dewey and also came in con-
tact with Aguinaldo Mr.. Halstead has
the greatest contempt for the latter
Il believe that Aguinaldo is actuated
purely by love of greed in carrying on
the present war; he said. He is no
patriot [ believe that the Filipinos are
an intelligent race. They are skil1ful
artificers and many of them are fairly
we'll educated. The higher classes, as
a rule, have been educated in foreign
universities"
Mr.. Halstead said that if proper re-
endorsements were sent to the assist
ance of Gen. Otis the war would soon
end.
Il believe that at least so. 900 troops
should be sent to the Philippines" said
Mr. HaIstead. 1.-The only way to deal
with the Fflipinos is to give them
crushing blow. I think that the back

broken by sending more troops"

EXTENDING QUARANTINE.
Prohibition Against Eastern Cattle
Made General

The state live stock sanitary COM
mission today extended the quarantine
against all of the states east of the
Mississippi river and Minnesota, Iowa,
Louisiana and Arkansas west of the
river
This is a continuation of the recent
quarantine against Illinois on account
Of tuberculosis. The members of the
commission witnessed the slaughter Of
the diseased cattle at Chicago and then
ordered a quarantine against that
state.
This new order of the board is far
reaching and is without a precedent in
the state. No other commission has
taken the precaution to look out for tu-
berculosis which might be imported
from other states. This quarantine ex-
tends to breeders and dairy cattle, Kan
sas receiving from their territory now
prescribed, no feeders or butchers stuff
The commission has taken charge of
300 head of cattle owned by Hull & Dill
lon at Pittsburg. The cattle have the
Texas fever and 10 head have already
died.
The commission is in session today
and will complete the official order Of
quarantine against the new territory
