Maine Claims F1lod.

Two claims were fled at Washington
by Butler & Harwood, Of 1876 Broad
way, New York City, with the Spanish
treaty claims commission, one on be-
half Of Harry Mccain, United States
seaman, for 10000, for injuries sus-
tanned by him from the blowing up Of
the United States battleship Maine in
Havana harbor, Feb. IL, 1898, and the
other on behalf Of Catherine Burns,
for $4,000, whose son, a corporal Of
marines, was killed by the same explo-
sion. While they have only fled these
two claims. so far, says a Washington
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, it is understood that Butler
4 Harwood represent q number Of
claimants, all of whom will hle claims
within the time presSribsd by law. The
Maine was blown up at $40 p. NJ,
Feb. IL, 1898, in Havana harbor. There
were SIC persons on board; 2 ohhcers
and 264 seamen and marines were
killed or died shortly afterward from
wounds then received, "a omcers and
rs Of the seamen and marines escaped
alive, but ali we're more or less severe
" injured. The question Of SPANS
responsibility for this act will now be
settled, as; BY the treaty of; peace Of
DEC. 10, 1888, the United States re-
leased Spain from all claims Of the
citizens, and agreed to settle and ad-
judicats them. To carry out this clause
Of the treaty an act OF Congress VA
passed on March 2, 1901, appointing q
commission to investigate and report
claims. The President appointed on
that commission ex-senator William
b. Chandler as president, James Perry
Wood, William A. Maury and William
L. Chambers, associate commissioners
The commission has already had sever
n sessions, and gives further notice
that claims must be presented and
prosecuted according I'd the rules OF
they will lose the benefit of the act
It was stated recently that claims
amounting to over $50, 600, 900 had been
filed with the State Department, most
~ for damages to property In Cuba
This does not include any claims fol
those injured or killed on the Maine
which will greatly increase the amount
which the United States may have te
nay in settlement of these claims.

She came to the farmhouse bringing

Her ignorance of c~ountry-nfe was

Boston, Dec. 7.--Hereafter men may
be admitted to membership in the
Women's National Indian association,
the convention. having voted to elm
mate the word women" from the
name of the organization, making it
the National Indian association. Tho
business Of the association in its clos
Ing session yesterday dealt with reso.
lutions and amendments. One Of the
resolutions passed was to do away
with Indian dancing in public exhibi-
tions such as the Buffalo exposition,
such exhibition being degrading. An
effort will be made to prevent an
exhibition Of their dances in the st.
Louis exposition. Another resolution
aimed to prevent the selling Of liquor
on Indian reservations.
