TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT
To Be ExteRded to the indian Territory
Go CureaII Expenses.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The at
torney.general is somewhat alarmed
over the cost of running the Indian
Territory. He is in favor of re-
trenching. and is working on a
plan to present to the president.
Some time ago the attorney gen.
eral called the attention of the
president to the enormous expense
in the Indian Territory. The plan
of patch" seemed to be made up
mostly of bills to be paid out of
congressional appropriations. The
president suggested that the at
torney general get up some cheaper
and at the same time more efficient
form Of government.
This brought the attorney gen.
eral squarely against the Indian
Territory situation. AS a result
he will recommend to the president
that a regular form of territorial
government be applied to the In
dian eountry as soon as possible.
1t is reasonably certain that the
president will approve this sort OF
recommendation and that con-
gress will be asked to carry out the
plan. The subject will likely be
covered in a recommendation en-
braced in the coming message to
congress.
Information received indicates
that the Cherokee nation will GO
out of the tribal business very
soon, accepting the treaty and the
work of breaking up the tribes and
establishing a territorial form of
government will be rushed along
as rapidly as possible.

CHAPTER XIX

Upon the landing Of the grand stair
case leading to the main entrance Of
the palace Of the Presidency. three
men waited. They were Saugor. Hol-
car and the Fakir Souniancy. ..
Djella and Doorgal approached them
The princess whispered a few words
to Saugor, and gave to Holcar and the
fakir some mysterious instructions.
A fierce joy depicted itself on the
countenances OF the three Hindoos,
who separated. each taking a different
direction, while the princess and the
rajah together entered the carriage
which awaited them.
Djella's first words, On finding her
self alone with the prince, were these:
Accept my congratulations, Door
gal. You have outdone yourself. ex-
pected no more scarcely hoped as

"Content to absolute admiration

II believe that the comedians Of the

assurance was superb, and your affirm
ations clothed themselves with such
an air OF authority that I absolutely
asked myself if George Malcolm were

"And yet, princess. I swear to yov

gaze appeared to penetrate into my

since George Malcolm is an English
man, he is our foe," answered Djella
ut is not for this alone that hate

The princess regarded him with sur
prise, as she asked:

against him?'
YES"
''What has he, then, done to youy"
''Fate has placed him an obstacle in
my path"
II do not understand you. Between
Doorgal Sahib, the rajah, and George
Malcolm, what can there possibly be

path Of a prince?
George Malcolm is the betrothed OF
Agnes Burtell."

the Withdrawal of Our Troops and
Approach the American Lines,
Only to Be Repulsed-Another De-
cree From Aguinaldo>

Manila, April 9, $50 p. m.-The expe-
dition of 1,500 men under Major Gen
eral Henry W. Lawton, which started
last night with the intention of cross
ing La Guda de Bay, capturing the
town of Santa Cruz, on the eastern
shore of the lake, and then sweeping
the country to the south, consists OF
200 picked sharpshooters, chosen from
the various regiments, Hawthorne s
mountain battery, Gates squadron,
three troops of the Fourth cavalry, un-
mounted, with Bronke'S and Tappan'
battalion of the Fourteenth infantry,
Linck's battalion of the First Idaho
infantry and Fraino's battalion of the
First North Dakota infantry, under
General King. The flotilla of twenty
canoes, towed by tugs and conveyed
by the gunboats La Guna de Bay, Oesta
Rapidan and preceded by the launch
containing General Lawton and General
King, started from San Pedro. Macati,
on the river Pasig, moving toward the
lake, just as evening was setting in.
1t was truly picturesque sight.
The men were all in high spirits and
carried rations for ten days, with the
lightest marching equipment. General
Lawton's plan was to reach Santa Cruz
this morning at daybreak to capture OF
destroy any rebel gunboats or shipping,
or take the town and then to scour the
country to the south of the lake, dis
tance not yet explored by the Ameri-
cans. The tactics will be those of the
old time frontier fighting, and it is
probable that the command will be di-
vided into squads of twelve under nom
commissioned officers.
In General LaWtOn S absence the Sec
ond division is temporarily commanded
by General Oversshine, whose lines eX-
tend from the beach near Malate. south
of Manila, to the shore of La Guna de
Bay, beyond Pasig, distance of about
seven miles.
The withdrawal of the eighteen COM
panies constituting the expeditionary
force made a gap in the line from the
beach to Culiculi, just southwest of San
Pedro Macati, which was subsequently
filed by the Fourth regular infantry.
The rebels on the extreme right had
evidently been informed of the with
drawal of the troops, and they attempt
ed to sneak through after nightfall, but
were met with a warm reception. and
fell back in disorder on discovering
that the line was still intact.

one part he said:
1T is a pleasant thing in my memory

the last survivor. Up to that time
there has been no representative here
of the Pacific coast. A new empire had
arisen in the west, whose laws were
those of another country. The land
titles were from Spanish and Mexican
grants, both of which were often over
laid by the claims, of the first settlers
To bring order out of this confusion
congress passed an act providing for
another seat on this bench, with the in
tention that it should be filled by some
one familiar with these conflicting titles
and with the mining laws of the coast.

NEWS Is EXPECTED TODAY.
War Department Will Probably Hear
From General LaWton.

From General Lawton.
Washington, April 9.-The war de-
partment authorities look for impor-
tant news from Manila tomorrow, an
nouncing. in all probability, the cap
ture of the city of Santa Cruz, lead
ing town in a country as yet untouched
by the American forces, and now in
the hands of the Filipino forces. No re-
port of the movement of General Law
toms men has been made to the war-de-
partment, but the Associated Press
announcement occasioned no surprise
for the move is looked upon as one OF
the natural steps in General Otis care
fully laid plans against the insurgents.
Santa Cruz is place of considerable
Importance in several respects. 1t is the
capital of the province of La Guna.
and has a population, according to the
best available information here, of con-
siderably more than $4,000 persons. 1t
is regarded as likely that General Law
ton has already gained possession of
this stronghold, for it is but a short
journey over the Bay Lagoon, a fresh
water sea, which comes almost up TO
Manila itself, which is forty-eight miles
away from Santa Cruz.
The details of the dispatch show Cen
eral Lawton is essaying the formation
of squads of twelve men each, and
will make a thorough reconnaissance of
the ground before making a definite at
tack upon the city. 1t is felt here that
there will be only a show of resistance
by the natives, and whether they ac-
tually surrender the town or abandon
it to the southwark, the campaign
against the place will serve as an OBJ
ject lesson of the determined policy of
our forces in the island.
Santa Cruz is apparently an opening
wedge for the country beyond. From
it leads highways in all directions to
Manila by going around the shores of
Bay Lagoon, and to the important
point of Batangas and the we'll ad-
vanced province of Tayabaz, whose
capital city is located ninety-one miles
from Manila.
General Lawton, however, may not
contemplate any material advance be-
yond Santa Cruz at this time, as the
region to the south is a very broken
country, covered with mountains, and
the rainy season is coming on, so that
his purpose may be merely to gain an
advantage of our position for the fu-
ture.
