John II. King of Chamberlain is in,
Washington looking after ~ interests of
the Rosebud Sioux. Indians, whom he is
attorney both in the Court of Gaims and
the departments, presented a claim to the
Interior Department for about $1,OOO,O00
which the attorney claims is due the Sioux
Indians under section q of the Noux
agreement or treaty of 1889, which section
provides that the Government shall pay the
Sioux Indians $1.25 an acre for each section
ID and S6 In each township of the coded
portion OF the Sioux Reservation, and pay
the same out of any money in the treasury
not otherwise appropriated. Mr.. King
claims this money has been due and pay
able for eight years, and that it has not
been paid because the SiouXs have never
mad efftcient counsel to look after their in
terests, and that unless he can induce the
Government to rectify the neglect and pay
the interest equitably due by its non y
ment that there would be a loss of over
$4N,OW of forest money alone on this one
item. Mr.. King is also filing his appear

Soldiers Will Soon he Home.
Gov. Lee has received an answer TO his
letter written to the President April 10, re-
questing the return of the South Dakota
Regiment. The reply came through the
adjutant generals Office in Washington
and is as follows:
Your letter of April 10 last to the
President, in which you set forth at
some length the reasons which in your
opinion require the immediate return
of the South Dakota Volunteers now
serving in the Philippine Islands to the
United States, has been referred to this
department. In reply, the Acting Sec
rotary of War desires me to say that
early in January last Maj. Gen. Otis,
commanding at Manila, was authorized
to return the volunteer troops serving
in the Philippine Islands upon the
arrival of the regular troops then en-
route to relieve them. but that before
this relief could be accomplished UNI
fOreseen complications arose which re-
quircd their attention, and that in re-
Spouse to an inquiry from the depart
ment, Gen. Otis replied that it was the
desire of the volunteer troops to remain
until pending operations had reached Il
satisfactory conclusion. Since that
date other regular regiments have been
ordered to that point, and the situation
is being rapidly reached, if ii has not
already been accomplished, when all of
the volunteer troops can be dispensed
with. To that end, and it depends
wholly upon the rap,ditv with which
transportation facilities are available.
the movements for the return of the
volunteer troops will be rapidly pushed
forward. The volunteer regiments will
be returned as far as possible in the Or
der i'll which they went out, SO that the
FIRST South Dakota Regiment will
probably have left Manila by the mid
die Of June OR the LIST of july.

from the insurgents is everywhere COM

PosTMEN ON A STRIKE.
Paris Mail Carriers Demand In.
crease in Pay.


Owing to the refusal of the French
Senate to vote increased pay for postmen
the whole force in Paris, numbering 5000,
struck Thursday morning. AS a result
there will be no mail deliveries. The post
men held an open air meeting around the
postoftice and We're addressed by tlieundcr
Postal Secretary, Mougeot, who vainly
urged them to return to work.. The strik-
ers responded by demanding an increase
in pay.
NJ. Mougeot ordered the postmen to in
stantly return to work under pain of dis
missal, but the strikers refused to do so
and attacked the postwagon manned by
republican guards, emerging from the
postoffice yard. The police beat the strik-
ers off after a fight, in which several po-
liccmcn were hurt. y number of strikers
were arrested.
The postoficc was besieged by business
men. who demanded their letters. Mou-
gcot arranged for a delivery during the
afternoon. Mail will be delivered by SOL
diers, conducted by policemen. The alb
sence of the regular mail delivery caused
great disturbance i'll business circles.

The grain shovelers at Buffalo on May
~ adopted resolutions repudiating all
agreements made with the Lake Carriers
Association and demanded the %uncquivo-

Corners. The striking freight handlers
did likewise. The final conference be-
tween Contractor Corners and the men
was held during the afternoon. The strik-
crs proposed there be inserted in the agree
ment already reached with the Lake Car
rierS' Association Il clause governing the
appointment OF boss scoopers. This clause
provided that the grain sllovciers should
submit the names of ten men from each
elevator, out of which list the contractor
should select his boss scOopers Mr.. Con-
nors refused TO agree to the proposition and
the men left the conference. During the
evening President Mcmahon reported to a
meeting of grain shovelers the result of the
conference. A wild scene ensued. The
men poured out their wrath upon the pres
tdent and the committee for having at
tempted to make such terms; declared that
they would have refused them even if the
contractors had accepted them, and in the
midst of d%enunciations of the contractor,
the committee and even Bishop Quigley, Il
resolution was adopted to the effect that
the executive committee representing the
strikers should establish an office and wait
there for the Lake Carriers Association to
come to it and agree to break the contract
with Mr.. Corners.

The expected manifesto of Gen. Maxine
Gomez has been issued at Havana. It
reviews his part in the negotiations with
Gov. Gen. Brooke and speaks OF his love
for Cuba and his sufferings on her behalf
in the past. He calls attention to his pro-
test against the insuficicncy of the sum
offered by the United States, speaks of the
attempted intervention of Spectators, his
endeavor to obtain an army of 10000 for
Cuba and reviews his conferences with
Gen. Brooke in trying to discover some
plan of payment that would not exclude
the men who never carried arms.
Continuing, Gen. Gomez Y "Gen.
Brooke insisted upon the surrender of arms
before the receipt of money, and l also
desired that such arms as had already been
surrendered and such ms should be suyren-
dered hereafter might be delivered to the
warehouses. in the care of Cuban armOr-
ers, to he paid out of the Cuban treasury.
l do not think it a disgrace that the Cuban
soldiers should receive from a government
which is able to pay sums that will relieve
their Immediate needs. Special certificates
will be given to all, redeemable by the
Cuban republic as soon as it is established"
After praise of "Gen. DrOoke'S consider
tion," and a declaration of his own desire
to correct an error existing in Cuba with
respect to the United States, lie goes OH to
say:
II did not act alone. as seems to he pop
ularly believed, but always consulted with
our officers. My advice to you now is to
return to your homes with amounts offered
by the intervening government and to
practice patience, which will be an addi-
tional proof of your heroism. In this way
we shall reconstruct most rapidly the
homes consccrated by the bloodof martyrs,
blood poured out in behalf of a purpose
now attained, and thus begin this cycle of
liberty, with the grandest prospects pre-
coded by the lieralds OF future prosperity
and peace.
This work is your portion. Let no PEE
text Interfere with the attainment of the
independent government for which three
generations of Cubans have struggled with
all sacrifices, and which is now promised
by a noble nation, pledged to obtain for us
our rights"

Nine Unarmcd Natives,

Formosa advices give details of a terrible
massacre in the vicinity of Taiko, a town
i'll the central district. Thirty unarmed
villagers were ambushed by about sixty
savages, who killed twenty-nine of them.
Only one escaped. The cause of the mas
eacrc is said to have been Il dispute be-
tween savage tribes over the paternity of
nm Legitimate child and the death of its
mother. The reputed father of the child
denied the charge and refused to make
compensation to the tribe to which the
girl belonged. An appeal to head hunting
was the only way by which the injured
tribe could prove its Righteousness to its
ancestors. After the massacre the savages
INDUCED i'll Il feast, at Which the heads of
the murdered villagers were displayed.
