UnCIeSdm WiIt Give Up His Domain to Lucky Winners
 Today.

Fl Reno, O. T., July 29.-One
 of the greatest lotteries in his
 tory is that conducted by the
 federal government in desposing of 13,000 quarter section claims in the Kiowa -Comanche reserva. tion here this morning.
 A hundred and sixty-sever thousand persons each with one chance in thirteen of winning a homestead are interested. The drawing took place on a platform built in the open air a few blocks from the center of El Reno. Thousands went home immediately after registering content to await news of the re- suit by telegraph, but thousands remained and slept on the ground or walked the streets all night and packed every inch of space about the scene of the drawing.
 El Reno, July 29.-The first envelope taken from the wheels contained the name of Jas. Wood of Weatherford, O. T., who had registered for a homestead in Lawton district. Hattie Beales of Wichita drew No. ? in Lawton district. Both will undoubtedly select quarter sections adjoining Lawton townsite worth $4,000 each cash.
 When the commissioner an- uounced the woman's age 3, her heigth tue same as MT. Wood, twenty thousand persons shouted they must get married"
 Number one in the Fl Rino district fell to Stephen Holconb of Pauls Valley, I. T., and No. to Leonard Lamb of Augusta, O. T.
 Amidst thrilling tension the draw ing was continued until the thou sand envelopes constituting to- days batch were all taken out. Then the lucky ones took time to enjoy their good fortune and those whose names had not been drawn hoped again for the mor- row. Daily Citizen.

The United States will not in- terfere with Cuba's intention to pay the bonds issued during the rebellion. Under the Platt amendment the amount of the indebtedness is limited by the provision that the new govern ment shall not assume any public debt upon which the ordinary re- venues of the government will not pay the interest, and also create sinking fund to pay the principal after defraying the ex- penses of the government. With in these limits, however, Cuba is free to do as it pleases.

The latest Washington crank

The latest Washington crank Is man who goes about button holing government officials and seeking to impress them with the merits of a "The Greatest Scheme of Government in the World" invented by himself, which he seeks to have substitu- ted for the present Constitution of the United States. The fa- vorite way of dealing with such individuals is to refer them to some other officer, who in turn sends them on further.

Commercial relations between Spain and the United States seem to have been fully restored, and 1t IS not improbable that our ex- ports to that country in the fiscal year 1901 will be grater. with possibly a single exception, than in any preceding year. The figures for the year up to this time indicate that the total ex- ports from the United States to Spain in the fiscal year 1901 will be about $16, 100000, while in 18- 91 the exports to Spain were S14,- 619, ,335, in 1880 S14,657, ,884. and in 1883 the one year in which the fifteen million dollar line was ex- ceeded, S16, ,951.2 .287,

The new regiment organized in this country will not be sent i'm mediately to the Philippines, tho they will probably go there ul- timately. There will be no inn mediate withdrawal of troops from the Philippines beyond those already ordered home. There are now about 10000 reg ular troops in the Philippines, and 1t is the purpose of the de- partment to maintain that strength until conditions will justify a reduction.

Spaniards on Schley.

Madrid, Aug. D. Captain Elm fla Diaz Mour, who commanded the Cristobal Colon duing the memorable naval combat of Sian tago, paid a glowing tribute to- day to Adhral Sohley and the Brooklyn in the following inter view.
The St. Johns herald., 1901-08-10

All the AmerIC an OfhCerS
 without exception, did their duty
 in the naval battle of Santiago
 So did we, altho 1t is certain that
 we were vanquished by superior ity of force.
 1t isabsurd and unpatriotic to
 make any exception in the case of
 Admiral Schley. It is'absurd be-
 cause the Brooklyn was in the
 thick of the fight turnout. She
 was at the mouth of the harbor when we tried to pass out, and engaged us with terrific fire, do- ing frightful damage to the end. In the pursuit of the Cristoba Colon we surrendered to Brook 1y forty five miles west of Santi- ago.
 The Brooklyn was the first to encounter us as we were coming out, and the first to lead the pur- suit. And she kept up the lead with the Oregon vastly aiding. The Brooklyn landed a shell just ahead of my ship, and. with the Oregon helping her, there was nothing left for me to do but run ashore.
 The Brooklyn's condition was brave; hence Commodore Schley was brave. Schley was on post, where he was put by Sampson. After the battle commenced each commander acted according to circumstances and events show that the Brooklyn bore a brave part.
 I should say that Schley was not only brave but very compet- ent as is Sampson, whom 1 know personally.
 l don't know Schiey, but I am a friend ot Captain Cook of the Brooklyn whose photograph I have. On the back of 1t you can read he following:
 Duty to our flags brought us together in strife. The sea made us friends. May God preserve your life and give to you the measure of blessing which your courage so richly deserves.
 Il belive the whole crew of the Brooklyn, including Schley. acted with great bravery under fire, and amid the storm of projectiles. Of all the American ships the was the most exposed to our fire and to that of our bat teries.
 Commodore Schley's own re- port was model of a plain, sailor i like and gentlemanly statement. SchleV directed that our officers | retain their personal effects. A is never generous. The suggestion of cowardice probably comes from towards.
 T have read in 'E1 Mundo Naval that this attack upon an honorable naval officer had a low political basis. The navy should be left out of politics. Admiral Sampson's own official report is evidence of the Brooklyn's active part and Shley's competency and bravery. The adverse criticism is obviously an afterthought.
 As naval officer I deplore 1t, because the navy should be as as a woman about its 1Unor. The attack upon Schley S unpatriotic. It is enough for | country if her history should truly record tn at even one man ailed in his duty.
 Young America should not De taught unpatriotic untruths, TOT should they be instructed to iold up to ridicule the man or nen who fought competently, killfully and bravely for the lag. Enterprise
