WILCOX SAYS HE'S LOYAL.
When He Wrote Letters of Sympathy to
AguinaldO He Was Not Yet a Citizen
of the United States.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The charges
against Delegate Wilcox, of Hawaii,
were taken up Friday by the house
committee on electioHs. Mr.. Wilcox
was accompanied by Representative
Robinson, of Indiana, who appeared
as his friend and counsel. The writ
ten answer of Mr.. Wilcox was then
submitted. He claims that many of
the charges preferred against him
are without merit. With regard to
the letters he is accused of having
written to Aguinaldo dated January
81, 1899 and March s, 1899, he sug-
gests that the conditions prevailing
at that time, and the legal status of
the Hawaiian islands with respect to
the United States were entirely diff
ferent from those existing later and
at the time of his election. He claims
to be now sincerely and Thoroughly an
believing in and heartily
supporting their institutions.

AMERICAN CLAIMS ON CHINA.
Total Amount of Indemnity Due to Private
Parties Is Ss01 ,oOO-Claimso of Various
Missionary Societies.

Pekin, Feb. 9.-The work of COM
piling the American claim for in
demnity on account of the uprising
In China has been practically COM
pleted. The total amount of private
claims is Sso1,OoO in gold. With the
exception of the claims of few
business houses, which amounts 10
about 100000, this sum is for the
missionary bodies. Claims of these So
cieties to the amount of about $780,
300 are distributed as follows:
Woman's Foreign Missionary society,
s3S,296; Presbyterian Board of Mis-
slons. $35,135; American Board of
Foreign Missions for North China.
S64,410; Presbyterian Mission at Pao-

as the missionaries have been col
lecting large indemnities from Chi

THE LORD SAID ono"
Mrs. Nations Followers Were All Ready
to Make a Night Raid When Their Lead
er Suddenly Backed Down.

Topeka, Kan. Feb. 9.-Mrs. Nation
last night for the first time dis
played the white feather. 1t was at
meeting of 30 of her followers, who,
armed with hatchets, had gathered
in secret to arrange night raid on
Topeka joints. The women had been
promised the aid of several male
students of Washburn college who
were to come to town after midnight
and personally take part in the raid
and also see that the crusaders were
not molcsted. The excitement at the
meeting was intense, the women
planning minutely for the raid. 1t
was decided to saunter out at three
o'clock in the morning and demolish
every joint in town. Suddenly, when
everything seemed satisfactorily ar
ranged for a terrific onslaught, Mrs.
Nation balked, began putting on her
wraps and said she was going home.
Instantly her followers were in an
uproar. Several accused her of cow
ardice. This she vehemently denied,
saying the Lord did not want her to
go at this time. While the women
waited to wonder at their leaders
latest move, Mrs. Nation, accom-
panied by lone reporter, made the
rounds of the joints to satisfy her
self that all were closed. The joint
lists, apparently anticipating raid,
had closed and barricaded their
doors, and at midnight went to her
home.
Some of the volunteer members of
Mrs. Nations band of crusaders
claim that their leader has been in
duced to give up the smashing of
joints in order to go on a lecturing
tour. Mrs. Nation is expected to
speak in Omaha, Sioux City, Des
Moines and Chicago. and she has re-
fused other offers. She left here for
Kansas City Friday afternoon, where
she lectured at night.

TO AVOID A GREAT RUSH.
Four Indian Reservations May Be
Thrown Open to Settlers With
out Notice from President.
THE LAW LEAVES IT DISCRETIONARY.
should Extensive Notice BE Given, the
Number of People Who Would COngre-
gate on the Borders of the Reservations
Would Exceed Many Times the Number
of Homesteads to BE Distributed.

Washington, Feb. "a discovery
has been made at the interior depart
ment with relation to the laws pro-
viding for the opening up of the XII
owa, Comanche and Apache and Wich-
ita countries. The law providing for
the opening of the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache country leaves it dis
cretionary with the president as to
wheher he shall give the prospective
settlers any notice whatever. If, in
his opinion, it is deemed best for
the public service, the country will be
opened without any notice whatever,
the proclamation taking effect as soon
as the president signs the docume1 1T.
1t is not improbable that this course
may be resorted to in order to pre-
vent the great rush among the set
tiers now on the borders of the res
ervation for homesteads. Should due
notice of the opening of the country
be given the number of people who
would congregate upon the borders
of the reservation would exceed many
times over the number of homesteads
to be distributed. This would result
" 0o"'eS'S anu ieS"i ulsPuVeS
which the department is anxious to
avoid.
The law providing for the opening
of the Wichita country, however, con-
tains different provision. Under
that act the president must issue his
proclamation 20 days before the coun-
try can be opened, in order that
everyone may have an opportunity to
compete for homesteads.

THEY CHARGE CONSPIRACY
Democratic Senators Say the Ad-
ministration Is Determined to
Hold on to Cuba.
PLATT HAS AN EVACUATION PLAN.
Connecticut Senator Would Not withdraw
from the Island Without Reserving a
Naval Station and the Power to Say How
Far the Cubans Can Go-Powerful Cap
italistic Influences at Work.

Washington, Feb. 9-Senator Platt,
OF Connecticut, is engaged in drawing
the amendment which he proposes to
have added to the army appropriation
bill defining the conditions on VIII ch
the troops Will be withdrawn from
Cuba. The senator's views are strong
ly against turning the island over to
the Cubans without some distinct
as to what the relations
of the United States with Cuba are to
be. Senator Platt wants naval sta
tlon and the power to say how far .he
Cubans may go in contracting debts
and recognizing claims. He also in
sists that Cuban treaties which here
after will be made must be subject
to the scrutiny and approval of this
country.
The consent of senator's in favor of
the absolute separation and independ-
ence of Cuba will be hard to obtain.
They charge there is conspiracy to
hold on to Cuba; that the PROPOSE
ton originating with Senator Platt.
OF Connecticut, and practically in
dorsed by the administration, is in the
interest of ultimate annexation or at
least protectorate. This, it is de-
clared, will be a violation of the
pledges made when war was declared
to give the Cubans their independence.
There are tremendous capitalistic
influences at work to facilitate the
organization of the Cuban govern
ment that franchises may be secured
in the cities for the building of street
railways and the establishment of
electric light plants
