MINNESOTA TIMBER FRAUDS.

Both Criminal and Civil Suits Probable
Unless the Contractors Settle.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-Oficials of
the interior department. refuse to talk
about the alleged frauds in connection
with the dead and down timber con-
tracts in Minnesota. They say that In
spector Nessler has been instructed to
mand payment for the 1000, 900 feet of
green timber he reported cut in VIOLA
ton of contracts and further steps will
be postponed until answer is made to
this demand.
1t is probable, however, that if the
contractors refuse to pay for the green
timber the matter will be referred to
the department of justice for such &C.
ton as it may seem fit to take, and it is
not improbable that both civil and
criminal suits will be begun to recover
the value of the timber and to punish
the offenders for, tim Der depreciation.

RESERVATION LANDS.
Minnesota to BE Allowed Indemnity For
School Sections.

Minnesota to BE Allowed Indemnity For
School Sections.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE secretary
of the interior has made an adverse de.
cision on the claim Of Minnesota for
sections Is and 36 on the Red Lake res
ervationfor school purposes. The sec
rotary; holds that these sections were
not a part Of the public domain at the
time Minnesota was admitted into the
Union, but were reserved for Indian
purposes. The state claimed that the
proposition made to the people Of Min
nesota by the act of Feb. Is, 1857,san
the acceptance of the same in the
state constitution, constituted d
compact whereby the lands which
might by appropriate surveys, be
identified as embraced within these sec
,tions as irrevocably appropriated to the
state, so that no law subsequently, en-
acted could authorize a sale or other
disposition of them by the United States.
Also if the joint resolution of March. 3,
1857, be regarded as modifying the prop
osition made by the government in the
act or February, 1857, before it's ac-
ceptance by the state, these lands were
never reserved for public uses within
the meaning of the joint resolution.
The decision says that the propositions
of the state cannot be sustained. The
proper authorities will be permitted to
select equivalent unappropriated public
lands as indemnity.

n1ascardo's Army Makes an Attempt to
Drive Out Americans.
MANILA, May 11.-lO:15 a. m.-Gen-
eral Mascardo's army, inspired by wine
taken from the storehouses of Barcorlor
and by the generals oratory, on Monday
evening attacked San: Fernando. There
was tremendous yelling and a great
expenditure of cartridg es by the rebels,
but very little result. General Mas
cardo holds the outskirts of Barcolor
west of the railroad. -.
The trenches undoubtedly saved the
Americans from heavy loss, the bullets
falling thick about them during the
engagement. General Luna is massing
his army east of the railroad, bringing
up troops by train loads, in 81 ht of the
American'lines., The country between
San Fernando and Calumpit is filling
up with natives, who profess great
friendship towards the Americans, but
who are suspected: by many of sympa-
thy with the Instruction.

WANTS AN ARMY.

Gomez Is Trying to Persuade Brooke to
Enlist Fifteen Thousand Cubans.
HAVANA. May III General Maxine
Gomez is trying to persuade Governor
General Brooke that Cuban standing
army Of 5000 men is a necessary adj
junct to the proper government OF the
island. His views have. been presented
in writing, but without eliciting any
reply as yet. The proposition is not
likely, to receive much consideration at
headquarters, where consid erable sur
prise was occasioned by this magnificent
project, which, If adopted, Gomez
doubtless believes, would be placed un-
der his personal control The growing
conviction is that there is no need of
rural guards except in the wilder por-
lions of the provinces of Santiago and
Puerto Principe. Captain Hickey, who
has just returned from a 2, O00-mile trip
OF the provinces east of Havana con-
hrms this opinion and says: 49,.
:, Political feeling in the. countryqdis-
tricts is far less intense than in Havana,
where the .malcontents are gathered.
Most of the Cubans of the provinces
favor ultimate independence, but they
are willing to have the American occu-
patton continue for year, at least, for
they recognize that the islands rev.
enues are expended honestly upon bet
terments."

WILL BE RATHER BRIEF.

Cars Peace Congress Not Expected to
Consume Much Time. a
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE British
Venezuela arbitration which was to
begin at Paris on the 24th of this month
has been postponed until June Is. An
Inference has been drawn from this
postponement that the cars peace con-
gress will be brief. Mr.. Maertens, the
eminent Russian jurist, is one Of the
Russian delegates to the cars congress
and also one Of the arbitrators on the
British-Venezuela question. It was inn
possible, therefore, to be present at both
events. A postponement of the meet
ing in Paris was thereupon arranged
until June 18th, with the understand
ing that Mr.. Maertens' services at The
Hague would not be required beyond
that date. Being. one of the cars per.
sonal representatives, it is hardly ex-
pected Mr.. Maertens would leave the
congress while it was in session, SO that
the arrangement just concluded is taken
to indicate that the peace congress will
be over by June Is, thus giving about
three weeks for discussion. Is

by lively and affecting demonstrations
All the military and civil officials Of
San Juan, representatives of the princi-

children, large crowds of citizens, to-
gether with delegations from the sur
rounding towns, thronged the quay
wheresoever bands played, and numer-
GUS flags and decorations lent animation
to the scene. The Mcpherson left the
harbor amid the booming of guns, the
women on shore waving their handker-
chiefs and in not a few cases shedding
tears of general sorrow. General Henry
was visibly affected by the unmistak-
able tokens Of good will.

GALICIANS COMING.

Large Number of Undesirable IMMIGRANT.
Stated to BE Headed This Way.
NEW YORK, May ia dispatch
from Hamburg has been received here
announcing that $4,000 Galicians are on
their way or preparing to come to this
country.
The steerage quarters on the German
American lines next week are crowded
with the immigrants who are leaving
nome in consequence of oppression and
famine. The Patricia, which sailed
from Hamburg Sunday, had $500 and
the Graf Waldersee, which sails next
Sunday, will have as many more. The
Hamburg American steamship Brazilia
which arrived at Halifax, N, S., Tues
day morning had 1,4OO, Galicians bound
for places in Canada. ~.
Commissioner Fitchie thinks that the
figures mentioned in the dispatch must
be wrong, as he does not believe that
the Austro-Hungarian government
would permit so large number to emf
CRATE at one time. It was pointed out
that the immigration of $4,000 people
would mean about one tenth of the pom
ulation Of Galicia going away, and
would go a long way toward depopulat-
ing the province.
Chief Clerk Lederhilger, an expert on
immigration, said it was enough to
make one faint, if true, and no matter
how small the number might be, that
any were coming was to be regretted.
as they are a most undesirable class.
There are five ships on the sea with
1000 Poles all told, and the Amsterdam,
which arrived Tuesday, had several
hundred. Nearly z, 900 Italians arrived
Tuesday on the Tartar Prince and the
Massilia had as many more.
