INDIAN PICTURES.

In the summer OF 1895 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
OF Indians In this country to send dele
Sntes to m Indian Congress-. and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tcpccs and Enudiest trap
pinEs In the Exposition Grounds At
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such n
gathering. There were about Ave hun
drcd OF them. some partly civilized. but
tho greater portion picturesque In
original savagcry. Strange as II may
seem At this late day many OF the In
dians declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudcs OF white men there were or how
hopeless II was to try to stand against
them. This was probably the las; time
that SO complete and spectacular n
Wow OF the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege OF witnessing II are to be
counted fortunate. At the time Of the
Indian Congress n prominent pho
tographer obtained permission to take
the photographs of the most noted
chiefs present and succeeded N obtain
ing a collection which never will be
eQualed. Mr.. RInehart. the photograrh-
cr. copyrighted all these pictures and
placed In n few art stores some hand
colored proofs which. notwithstanding
their high price. sold at once. and these
Indian pictures have become the fad OF
the year. The Chicago Great Western
Railway has succeeded at large expense
in obtaining from Mr.. Rinehart the
privilege Of reproducing the best four
OF these pictures. Chiefs 'Wolf Robe"
"Louison." Hollow Horn Bear" and
Hattie Tom" and have incorporated
them in an art calendar for 1900. which
is pronounced the most artistic produc-
tion yet attempted. The heads are
6xS inches. one on sheet. wonderfully
reproduced in all their original colors.
and when framed make most striking
and effective pictures. particularly
suited for holiday gifts. Owing to the
expense but very small edition has
been issued. They will be sent. how
ever. while the supply lasts to any per-

Havana, June "a dispatch from San
Antonio de los Banos says that Jose
Labregat notorious agent of Gen. Wey-

killed children, arrived there yesterday.
His appearance was the signal for a
gathering of relatives and friends of those
whom he formerly prosecuted. The ex-
citement continued throughout the day
and last night
About midnight a crowd surrounded the
house where he was and began to threaten
him. He attempted 20 escape, and on
meeting the demonstrators, emptled his re-
volver, wounding two persons.
The crowd closed In and captured him,
and he was lynched in the public square.
The anxiety following the excitement
caused committee of Spaniards to come
to Havana yesterday to ask the lnterfer-
ence of Gen Brooke He could not re-
ceive them before late hour in the even
ing, but he readily offered to send de-
tachment of American soldiers to the
town.
The committee, which left San Antonio
before the lynching returned to find La
bregat dead.
Many burglaries have been committed
recently in hotels. stores and private
houses here ard the police believe an
organized band of American crooks is at
work.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has sent three troops
of the Seventh Cavalry to scour the prov
inces of Havana and Pinar del Rio and
squads of ten, fifteen and twenty men,
with provisions for len days, are visiting
