Says tho Desire for Independence Is
Strong Among Cubans.
WASHINGTON, July l4.-Secretary
Root, in discussing the coming consti-
tutional convention in Cuba, expressed
himself quite positively on the question
of annexation. In reply to question
he said that the question of annexation
or any other subject, for that matter.
might be brought up before the conven.
ton, but that, in his own opinion, Gu
ban annexation, iii came at all, was
not imminent just now. Said he:
my own experience in Cuba leads
me to believe that the desire for indie
pendence is both strong and general
among the people. do not think they
want annexation, even supposing we
want them. Under the congressional
resolution we are in honor bound to
give them independence first. If, sub.
sequently, they wish annexation that is
q matter for them to determine. But
it should be determined when they are
in position absolutely independent of
us. Even then, as l have suggested, it
is case in which it takes two to make
bargain"

CHICAGO. July l4.-Regarding the
reports that the Grand Army encamp-

ecutive Director Harper said: sS
There is absolutely no politics In tho
coming national encampment. Never
in the history of this organization has
there been an annual encampment to
which the president Of the United
States has not been invited as the chief
executive officer of the nation. We
naturally follow the precedent estab-
lished in this matter. Mr.. Mckinley,
however, is also the most distinguished
comrade Of the G. A. r. When the
formal invitation was sent by General
John @. Black, chairman Of the COM
mittee on Invitations, to President No
Kinley a similar invitation was for.
warded to William J. Bryan. The
president has accepted. Mr.. Bryan
Immediately acknowledged the receipt
Of the invitation, but did not give us q
definite reply. We want him here at
the time of the encampment and will
certainly extend to him every courtesy
in our power.

SQuaws and Proposes Are Sent
North, Only Young Bucks
Remaining.
MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED
Many Small Bands % Reds Are
Joining Forces With the
Main Body.
Governor Lind to Be Asked for
aDetachment of the State
Militia.

er. PAUL, July IA special to The
Globe from Solway, Mimi, says:
Later reports from Red Lake state
that the danger Of an uprising by the
Blanket Indians is increasing hourly.
The Indian police from the agency
have gone over to the point where the
Blanketers are holding their war dance
and it is expected trouble will ensue
upon their arrival. Bulletins have been
posted in Chippewa warning all friendly
Indians and whites to remain away
from the point or suffer the conse-
quences.
Twenty mounted men have left Sol
way and will proceed to the agency and
take instructions from Captain Mercer.
The men are all we'll armed and carry
each 1000 rounds Of extra ammunition
which will be distributed among the
settlers.
A petition will be sent to Governor
Lind asking that detachment of state
troops be sent to Red Lake at once.
The Indians
Keep Up Their War Dances
and their shouts can be heard for three
miles at frequent intervals. They dis
charge their rifles in the air. 1t is said
that q large body of reds from the
northern part of the state have joined
forces with the Blanketers and small
bands of Indians are joining the main
body hourly. 1t is estimated that the
entire force will number over 800 at the
present time.
The squaws and papooses have been
sent north and only the young bucks
remain at the point. The white set
tiers at the lake have gathered at the
old Block and are preparing for an at
tack. The Indians at the agency have
assured the whites Of their support, but
it is thought great many Of them are
going over to the Blanketers. Nothing
has been heard from Captain Mercer
since his departure for the lake and
fears are entertained for his safety.
However, it is thought he is well able
to care for himself, as he knows the
country perfectly.
