FULL FLOODED CREEKS OBJECT.
A Protest Against Division of Their
Lands Comes Too Late.

a delegation of full-blood Creek In
dams, headed by Chief John, called at
the Interior Department yesterday and
had an interview with Mr.. Ryan, Acting
Secretary of the Interior. The object of
their visit was to protest against the
division of their lands and any change
of the treaty of 1872
In May last the Creeks, by a popular
vote, ratified an agreement with the
United States by which the treaty of 1882
was amended SO as to provide for a dis
ton among the individual members of
the tribe
The Dawes Commission is now in the
Creek Nation arranging to carry out the
agreement. Chief John and his compan-
ions represent some Of the Greeks who
are opposed to the agreement In answer
to his protest the Acting Secretary OF the
Interior stated that it was obligatory on
the part of the Department to execute
the laws and that the agreement entered
into between the United States and the
Creek Nation by which the treaty OF lS;2
was amended must be enforced. and the
Department was powerless to change the
decree.
The Creeks have recently been inclined
to be a little rebellious When the dele
CATION was leaving Chief John remarked
that the Creeks wanted to do right but
they wanted their rights under the treaty
OF 1882. Mr.. Ryan told Chief John that
his rights were defined In the laws of the
United States and agreements or treaties
States, and that he was expected TO obey
these laws and agreements or treaties.
IF you want to do right, added the Act
ing Secretary, that is what you will do"

VESSELS OFF FOR PANAMA.
State and Navy Officials Decide to
Act without Further Delay.

Notwithstanding the fact that the State
Department is inclined to look upon the
troubles in Venezuela and Colombia as
being but little out of the ordinary trend
of affairs in those two countries. it has
been definitely decided to send battle
ship direct to Panama, the west side
of the isthmus. for the purpose of pro-
tecting American interests and ensuring
under the treaty with Colombia the free
dom of transit across Panama.
After a conference between the officials
of the State and Navy Departments 1t has
been decided to send a vessel there with
out waiting for any further request or the
report of any action which would demand
TIE presence of a warship. The Ranger
is expected TO sail within a few days from
San Diego for Panama. The battieship
Iowa is now on her way to San Francisco
and it is possible that she may continue
her course to San Diego in order to be
nearer the scene of the trouble should 1t
be deemed necessary at any time to send
a larger ship than the Ranger there. rms
step is entirely a precautionary one. as
the State Department has no further ad-
vices from either venezuela or Coiomoia
as to the situation there. With the Ma
chias on one side and the Ranger on the
other side of the isthmus there Is little
doubt but that the United States Will be
able to fulfill its treaty Obligations ana
protect American interests.
The State Department is inclined TO De-
lieve that the trouble is not of very
unusual character and that 1t will soon be
terminated. Revolutions and warfare are
a part of the life of the South American
countries and it is said by officials at
the department that there has scarce
been a month within the past twenty
wears when there has not been hghtinS OF
n more or less serious nature In some
one or more of the countries of South ana
Central America. a.,
The opinion prevails that President cas-
tro is TO a large extent responsible Tor
the present outbreak, as 1t is evident that
he is endeavoring to assume autocrStic
power, making his personal influence pre-
vail in all branches of the Government
He is known to be very ambitious and de-
sirous of increasing his power. II is even
said. although this Is not confirmed at
the State Department, that he Is strug,
Cling to unite Venezuela, Colombia. ana
Ecuador into one nation, over which ne
wishes to be the supreme ruler. 1t is SAID
that a large portion of his support comes
from those who hope for reward at MS
hands in case he succeeds in overthrow,
ing the Governments of Colombia ana
Ecuador and forming union oil THESE
nations.

boat destroyers Whipple, Truxton, and
Worden slid from the ways at the Mary
land Steel Company's Works. Sparrow S
Point this afternoon. The Whipple's crib
caught on the bottom of the ways and
for a moment it seemed that the vessel
would capsize. but she quickly righted.
Owing to the low tide the Worden stuck
in the mud. requiring a tug to pull her
out
The Whipple was christened by Miss Ell
sic Pope, of st. Paul. Miss Pope wore
white. and like the other two sponsors,
carried a huge bouquet of American
Beauty roses and maiden hair ferns. The
Truxton was named by Miss Isabella

tened the Worden. Each vessel was re-
leased by the touch of an electric button
and there We're no bitches.

tertained at luncheon by the Maryland

and also changed their relative
position, so that now the great
world Powers are four only-the
United States, Great Britain,
Russia and Germany, with France
a doubtful fifth. If the forces
now in existence continue to oper-
ate as during the past century, un-
less some great change should
take place in the conduct and
ideas of the nations, the close of
the present century in all reason
able probability, the population
of European origin nations would
become one of over 1900 mil
lions. The black and yellow
races, as far as one can see re-
naming comparatively stationary,
would cause immense changes in
the world, and further progress
in the redistribution of political
power, and international politics
among European nations would
become more limited to the affairs
of the four great powers: United
States, Great Britain, Germany
and Russia. Probably the most
serious problem will of course be
how to supply the needs and
wants of the growing population
as time goes on. So long as there
are new lands to occupy the
growth of invention and produc-
ton can keep pace with the in
crease of the supplying human
wants; but after that different
means will have to be adapted.
