WASHINGTON NOTES.
Tams Bixby at the Capital on Dawes
Commission Business.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 81
Tams Bixby arrived in Washington to-
day to appear before the senate commit
tee on Indian affairs relative to the ap-
preparation for the Dawes commission
for the next fiscal year. No quorum of
the committee was present, however, and
an adjournment was taken until later in
the week, probably Wednesday or Thurs
day.
Bixby left a statement with the clerk
of the committee showing an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the current fiscal year,
expenditures of $1S1, ,806 to date and an
estimate of 1924, 900 which will be re-
Quired to carry on the work next year.
Mr.. BiXby says that the enrolment of
the five civilized tribes will be COM
pleted by the end of 1901, after which al
lotments will be made. Officials of the
interior department say that it will take
some years ito complete these as there
are about 10000 Indians to whom parcls
Of land are to be given. AIlotting lands
to Indians is always slow work, and 1t is
said that the Dawes commission will be
alive for the next five years and perhaps
longer.
Bixby was called here In order that they
might learn the exact state of affairs in
Indian territory. The statement was
made last year that the commission
could complete it's work in two wears
if sufficient funds were placed at its dis
posal. Acting on this S524, 600 was appro-
priated, but the work is progressing slow
ly and the end is not in sight. Bixby's
statement does not forecast the time of
the completion of the work, but in his
oral statement he can probably satisfy
the committee on this point.
SECRETARY ROOT RALKs
There is likely to be some delay on
the part of the executive in complying
with the terms of a resolution introduced
by Senator Bacon and adopted on the
18th instant, directing the secretary Of
war to transmit to the senate the report
of Abraham L. Lawshe, auditor Of Cuba,
giving in detail the result of his inyesti-
cations, made under direction of the
war department into the receipts and
expenditures of the Cuban funds. Sec
retary Root has transmitted the report
to President Mckinley with a state
ment of his opinion that its publication
at this tine would be incompatible with
public interests" Several criminal pros
ecutions are under way as a result OF
the discoveries made by Auditor Lawsne,
in connection with the administration Of
Cuban affairs and the secretary OF war
regards it as inadvisable to publish to
the world the data upon which proceeds
are based, pending their judicial deter
mination.
The situation raises an extremely in
teresting question, which Is left for the
decision of the president. The senate in
unqualified terms directs" the secretary
of war to transmit the Lawshe report to
that body and the secretary has referred
the matter to the president with q re.
port that he does not think the resolu-
ton should be complied with at the pres
ent time on the ground that such action

The amount to be asked for does not
cover the total cost of the institutions, as

sixty of the Prince Alfred on guards on

The Beers numbered 200, with supports
that could be seen in tho distance.
The soldiers defended themselves until
their small quantity of ammunition was
exhausted, when all were captured,
though subsequently released.
The passengers had narrow escapes,
as the bullets Of the Beers perforated
their carriages.
An officer and three soldiers were Sc

The railway traffic has been stopped,

PARIS, Dec. 31-A military board of
inquiry presided over by Gen. NoelIati.

ly to the premier, M. Waldeck Rousseau,
and to the minister Of war, Gen. Andre,
instead Of through his immediate superior
officer with publishing these letters, and
with refusing to reply to Gen. Andres
