RULING PORTO RICO.
General Henry Il Doing a Good Job
There.

There.
General Henry is making as good
record as military governor of Porto
Rico as he made as an Indian fighter
in the field. He gives the authorities
at Washington no trouble or anxiety.
They have discovered that he Is just
the man for the place, and the best
thing they can do is to approve all his
acts and accept all his recommended
tions, which is promptly done. This
neutrality-suspicious. soldier is patient
and forbearing as long as he thinks
people are acting ly with him,
but when he discovers the contrary is
the case he applies discipline with a
heavy hand His orders and proclama-
tions need no diagrams or foot notes
to make them clear, even to Span
lard. The other day he furnished a
specimen to Captain Mansfield, who is
commanding the garrison at the town
of Aguadilla, in this wise: at having
been demonstrated to me that for
some weeks matters have been gener-
ally mismanaged at Aguadilla-that the
councilmen quarrel with one another
that they refuse to act in the interest
of the people and that money is cor
ruptly used-you will notify the al
calde and the councimen that they are
call a meeting of the representative
men of the town, and as soon as they
agree upon reputable men to govern
them in the interest of the whole peo-
pie you will induct them into office and
report TO me-"
In another order General Henry says:
81 have frequently warned the people
of this island that when they fail to
govern themselves as they should, aft
err having every opportunity to do so,
l should take control"
In another order he says: "Heads of
departments and other officials object
ing to the Introduction of American
methods of business and progress will
be relieved from office, or their resig
nations will be accepted as rendered"

FROLIC OF THE TORPEDO BOAT.

In the earlier days of the war, while
the excitement of the new condition OF
affairs was still at its height, the COM
manders OF the different craft engaged
in the blockade of Havana were rest
less under the monotony of their du-
ties, and sometimes did things that
were not ordered by the commander
in-chief So writes a naval corre-
spondent of the Companion, and he
proceeds to narrate pretty lively ad-
venture as a case in point.
One particularly dark night the cap
tain of a torpedo-boat decided to take
advantage of the darkness and run
well in toward the MORO. With all
lights doused, the boat steamed slowly
toward the entrance of the harbor until
her crew could hear plainly the surf
breaking on the rocks under the cas-
tle." While the boat rolled lazily in
the swell, the officers tried to make out
the guns and the fortifications at the
harbor mouth.
Suddenly, as the boat gave a heavy
private night signal was moved, and a
blaze of red and white lights illumi-
mated the entire boat Every one made
a .insh to break the connection. In the
rush the colored cook managed to roll
overheard, and as he went over the
side he grabbed at everything handy.
Among the things he took hold of, un-
fortunately, was the whistle rope.
II the boat had been laundering.
nothing more could have been done TO
attract attention. The big search-light
on the Moro twitched around in an
uncertain manner, and turned slowly
toward the boat Before it reached
item the people on the torpedo-boat
managed to turn off the signal the
spasmodic shrieking of the whistle
stopped when the cook was hauled
aboard. and the boat escaped in the
darkness without a shot being fired at
her.
The next time his boat went In, the
captain took in his private night sig
nal and the cook had orders to stay in
the galley.

The court of claims has decided
the case between the Choctaw and
and Chickasaw Nations of Indians
and the United States, and the
Wichitas and affiliated band. The
actual tract of land involved as
claimed by the Wichitas, is what
is known as county "I'' in Okla
homa and contains 743,61 acres.
The contention of the Choctaws
and Chickasaws includes the Chey-
enne and Arrappahoes, Kiowa and
Commanche countries and Greer
county, tract of country contain
ing 7,713, 239 acres, and had they
been successful in this case, they
would have recovered the payment
of this quantity of land. The case
was referred to the court of claims
b. special act of Congress for ad-
Indication, and the decision dis
misses the petition of the Choctaws
and Chickasaws, and places the
land included in county rs in
such position that they can be
opened for entry and settlement
under the agreement of June 4th,
1891. In conclusion the court
says: Tested by the rules of law
applicable to the case, the claim
ants have no right, title, and in
terest in and to the lands in con-
troversy, for the reason that bv tie
treaty of 1866 they made, in Ian
guage importing but one meaning,
an absolute cession thereof to the
government; and their rights be-
ing fixed by that law, equity will
not intervene to relieve them from
the consequences Of their own act. "
