NEW INDIAN DEAL.
Commissioner Jones Says the Red Man
Must Dig for Himself and Live Like
Civilized Folks.

Washington, Nov. ga policy
which, it is contended, will settle the
.ntire Indian question within a gen.
.ration is announced by Commission
n of Indian Affairs William A. Jones
n his annual report made public yes
;erday. His plan is to give the In
liam opportunity for self-support, the
same protection of his person and
property as given others, throw him
1pon his own resources and to en-
force on him realization of the dig
lity of labor and the Importance Of
building and maintaining a home for
himself.
In the last SO years over $780,
10000 has been spent on an Indian
population not exceeding 100000.
Notwithstanding this, the Indian is
still on his reservation, being fed;
money is still being paid him, he is
still dependent on the government
.or existence and he is little, if any,
nearer the goal of independence than
ne was 80 years ago, and, if the pres
ent policy is continued, he will get
little, if any, nearer in 80 years to
come"

LONG AND SHORT HAIR.
The Former Once Regarded a. q
Mark of High Birth. the Lat
ter O Sign of DishonOr.

Homer wrote of the long-haired
Greeks by way of honorable distinc-
ton. Subsequently the Athenian
cavalry and all Lacedaemonian sol
diery wore long hair. The Parthians
and ancient Persians wore long, flow
ing hair. The Franks and ancient Teu-
tons considered long hair mark of
high birth. The Goths looked on long
hair as a mark of honor and on short
hair as a mark of thraldom; SO did
the Gauls, for which reason Julius
Caesar, when he subdued them,
obliged them to cut their hair short
in token of submission. In England
judges, the speaker of the house of
commons and at one time the bishops.
wore long hair, while criminals and
paupers wore short hair. On the other
hand, Jewish priests during their
time of service had their hair cut orce
a fortnight, and Roman slaves wore
their hair and beard long, but shaved
their heads when manumitted. Sail
ors who escaped from shipwreck
shaved their heads as if manumitted
from the sea. In Ezekiel vi there is
mention of a "barber's razor" with
instructions to ''thou son of man to
cause it to pass upon thine head and
upon thy beard."-Detroit Free Press.

SURPRISED INSURGENTS.
Sergt Mcmahon and go Men Climb q
Precipice on Bohol Island and
Rout the Enemy.

Manila, Nov. 25.-Capt. Edward P.
Lawton's company of the Nineteenth
infantry has attacked and captured
an insurgent fort on Bohol island,
south of Cebu, in the Vizayan group.
This fort was surrounded on all sides
by precipice and the only entrance
to the higher ground was guarded by
a stockade with line of entrench-
ments behind it. Capt. Lawton sent
Sergt. Mcmahon and 20 men to climb
the precipice and attack the fort in
the rear. Sergt. McMahon's party
accomplished their task after three
hours climbing through the thick
underground of brush and vines that
covered the almost perpendicular
cliff. They took the enemy by sur
prise and drove them from the fort.
AS the insurgents escaped they had
to pass the remainder of Capt. Law
tons company at a distance of $50
yards. Here the enemy suffered ter
rible losses. The insurgents defended
themselves with both cannon and
rifles. The cannon were captured,
the smaller ones were removed,
while the larger ones were buried.
Capt. Lawton, in his report, makes
special mention for bravery of Sergts.
List and Mcmahon.
The local steamer Alerta, with 200
passengers, including some dis
charged soldiers from Olongapo, SUI
big bay, to Manila, is believed to
have been lost.
