Trouble Feared at Leech Lake.

Minneapolis, June 12.-Word has been
received in Minneapolis that there is
danger of another Indian uprising at
Leech Lake. An Indian giving the name
of Gway-Tay- appeared at the
Leech Lake agency recently and an
nounced that he was the Messiah. He
said that all of his descendants, Indians
and white men, who lived in houses were
soon to be destroyed by big cyclone
but all Indians who lived in tepees would
be saved. The Indians had such faith in
him that about 200 left the agency and
went into camp on Squaw point. The
matter gradually grew so serious that
Captain Mercer, the Indian agent, had
Gway-Tay-Gonce arrested. The other In.
dians remain on Squaw point and ars
becoming ugly. They make many threats,
and, as there are no troops at the agency,
trouble is feared.

TO BOOM DANISH INDIES.
One Result of Denmark's Failure to
Sell the Islands.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 12-News has
reached st. Thomas from Denmark that
the failure of the negotiations for the
sale of st. Thomas and st. Croix to the
United States has not been without good
effect A scheme has been devised in
Denmark for developing these hitherto
sadly neglected islands. A West India
trading company has been launched in
the mother country. and. fostered by the
government, private enterprise has for
mulated Il plan which, if carried out,
must increase the value of the colonies
materially.

er Of 300 or 400 tons will inaugurate reg

St CroiX and Porto Rico. Coaling and
watering facilities will be another fea-
ture of the enterprise and will create
competition with st. Lucia and with the
existing coaling business at st. Thomas.
Hotels, a steam laundry, orchards and
cattle raising are all included in the
scheme.
All the Danish newspapers comment
favorably on the new departure and ad-
vocate state support for it. One paper,
The Nortland, says:
IF Danish energy and Danish enter
prise succeed in working up again these
so pitifully neglected islands, then we
have won victory which means more
for the trust in the vitality of our nation
than a long list of battles gained"
or course the people of st. Thomas and
st. Croix are jubilant over the prospect
of the reclamation of these islands from
their present condition of poverty and
misery, and addresses of gratitude from
them are pouring into the home govern.

ioUBAN TEACHERS VISIT. sEm
Some Comments by President Eliot
of Harvard

OF Harvard.
Boston, June 12.-President Eliot of
Harvard addressed the Cambridge Con
sregational club ON the visit of the Gu
ban teachers to Cambridge this summer.
In opening the subject, President Eliot
spoke of the undertaking as something
unique. He said.
Ihe object is to show the Cubans
what American civilization is like. They
have all suffered from generations of
Spanish misrule. Their education is
necessarily meager. Last December the
school system was extremely rough.
There are $500 teachers, and nearly half
nave enrolled themselves to come. Only
l,45O can be accommodated, about equal
ly divided between the two sexes. The
idea originated with Ernest Lee Conant,
n former teacher here in the university
and one of the first Americans to enter
Havana after the close of the war.
I'VE shall certainly shock these Gu
bans by some of our manners and GUS
toms. This cannot be helped, so great is
the contrast between us. For instance,
they are utterly unaccustomed to the
sight of drunkenness. The manners of
our boys will certainly appear strange
to them. We must try and soften our
Cambridge boy for the time
'rhe amount subscribed" !" he continued,
'is $4,000, and we hope and expect that
the entire $4,000 will be received by the
time the Cubans sail"

NEWS FROM HAVANA.
The Nationnlists Making n Bitter
Fight Against Mora.

Fight Against Mora.
Havana, June l2-Fhe National party
is making Il bitter fight against Senor
Federico Mora in the contest for the
mayoralty of Havana. The Nationalists
do not have meeting in which Mora is
not the principal object of attack. AS
nearly all the voting booths are in the
hands of the Nationalists, Mora recently
visited Governor General Wood and ex-
pressed fear that he might not have fair
play. General Wood said that he would
have every chance and could appoint
an agent at every voting office. Mora
says he will do this.
Mr.. Ernest Lee Conant, president of
the commission appointed to investigate
the finances of Havana and who is also
looking into the postal cases, says he now
has everything ready to proceed as soon
as Nicely arrives here.
The experts who have been examining
into the treasury report to Governor Gen
eral Wood that its condition is excellent.
Much praise, it is added, is due to Major
E. w. Ladd, treasurer of the custom
house at Havana.
The meeting called to protest against
the action of Major Pitcher, police mag
istrate and supervisor of police, in issuing
an order requiring the municipal police
to learn English was abandoned on ac-
count OF the managers not having secur-
ed the necessary permit.
