THE MINERAL LEASES
He Told the Committee Are OBJ
jectionable to the Cherokees
Who viii Vote Against Rau-
fcation If the Clause is In
cluded in the Instrument.

A bill was introduced in the
senate Monday by Senator Dolliver
of Iowa, which proposes to estao-
lish the boundaries between the
southern aud central judicial dis
tricts of the Indian territory and
10 establish a court at Durant.
The conferences committee on
the Cherokee treaty gave hear
ing Monday TO Chief Burlington
Burlington spoke particularly with
reference 10 the mineral leases,
which, he says, were Objectionable
to the Indians, and he said they
would not ratify the instrument II
the leases were Incorporated IN the
treaty. He said that the leases
are illegal, and that they were I'M
properly granted. Attorney owen
who claims to represent the Cher
okees, also appeared before the
committee.
The committee invited Chlel
Burlington to file a statement con-
cerning the objections to the treaty
made by the tribe and also pro
posed amendments that they de
sire incorporated 10 the instru
ment. Chief Burlington filed THU
statement yesterday.
1T is provided that a standard
allotment shall consist OF eight
acres. valued at $3.50 an acre
When this provision was formu
lated a year ago it was -suppose'
that the roll of citizenship woul'
contain 10000 names. 1t now ap
pears there will not be more thal
10000 when the rolls are com
nleted. There will be for allo'
ment more than 5 million acres
land after townsites have bee
taken out. If there we're 'SO,OO
citizens and 5 million acres ther
would be 1876 acres to each citlzer
Tn view of this fact our citizen
are nearly unanimous in favor
increasing the standard allotmeI
to 120 acres, and | earnestly r.
quest your committee to recon
mend to the two houses in congre

IS DEwET DEAD OR sAL1vE7
several Conflicting Reports in South Africa
About the Famous Boer
General.

Durham, Natal, Oct. 21.-Gen. De-
Vets recent Inactivity has produced
the impression that he. is either dead
or incapacitated through illness or
wounds. According to a letter from
Pretoria Boer recently wrote to a
friend there relating the shardships
suffered by the Beers in the field, es-
pecially from lack of surgeons.
''DeWet,o for example," wrote this
Boer, suffered the most terrible
agony before he died. Hewas wound
eed in the shoulder by splinter from
a shell and the N'ound gangrened in
consequence of a dressing with dirty
rags"
Five Beers recently captured at diff
terent places said DeWet was dead,
but each gave a different version of
his death. Agai9st these reports is
a statement of Piet oDevilliers, the
field eornet taken prisoner in the
northeastern part of the Orange River
colony, who says that on the morn
ing of his capture he took breakfast
with Gen. DeWet.

GUARDIANSHIP TO CEASE.
Commissioner Jones Says the Governments
Policy Hereafter ssyilI Be to Mako
Indians More Self Reliant

LakeoMohonk. ~ y Oct 1s,-Wil-
liam A. Jones, commissioner of In
dian affairs. was the principal speak
er at last evenings session of the
Indian conference. He said that the
most important step taken by his de-
partment during the year was Sc
curing the record OF Indian births,
marriages and deaths. In working
for Indian reform grave obstacles
were encountered: The isdiscriminate
issue of rations, unwise appropriation
of money and the leasing of allot-
ments were some of the obstacles.
The schools gave the Indians too
many things, including not few lux
uries, for little or nothing. Not earn
ing their education, in too many cases
they failed to appreciate it. The In
dams were hardly more self-reliant
than they were a quarter of century
ago. The time had come to make a.
vigorous move to end such guardians
ship, and to- throw the Indian ON his
own resources.

Ninth infantry, which suffered, there,
was the same organization that en-
gagged in the latest fight at Banga-
jon. An inspection of the dispositions
made of the troops on the island of
Samar shows that before the Bala-

to the troops by water.

Manila, Oct. 21.-Owings to the vigil
lance of Lieut.. Thomas NJ. Baines, Jr.,
sof the Ninth United States infantry,
another slaughter of american troops
by Insurgents has been averted. 1t
seems that Lieut.. Baines discovered
a prisoner re-entering a cell att ar
'biga, island of Sanar, where several
were confined, through a hole that
had been made in the wall. An in
vestigation showed plan to fill the
jail with boiomen and to call the
guard, which would be necessary to
get the door open, and then to at
tack the garrison. 1t also developed
that the instigators were "a priest
and the presidente, both of whom
have been arrested, together with
several other prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discov-
cred, but fortunately frustrated at
Pambujan and other points in Samar.
Several persons have been arrested in
connection with these.
Reinforcements are being rushed
to Samar. Three hundred and thirty
marines under Lieut.. Col. Mancil c..

the cruiser New York, and two <bat-
talions of the Twelfth infantry will

Gently arrived in Manila, and they
say that the news of American disas-
ters spreads like wildfire among the
natives, who scarcely attempt to con-
-ceal their delight. eo
The Manila eonstabuiary discovered
"a large quantity of steel wagon
springs, which were being shipped to
various districts. Investigation
showed that these were to be used
in manufacturing bolos.
The troops in Samar anticipate
hard fighting. Brig. Gen. Jacob III.
Smith, who is. in command, has visit
ed most of the posts and instructed
the commanders that the oinsurrec-
ton must be hammered out and
Gen. LulSban, the insurgent leader,
captured. Already the movement of
troops has begun.
Gen. Lacuna, who surrendered last
May, has complained to Gen.. Chat
fee that the terms upon which he
and hiss force surrendered have not
beerb respected by the Americans.
He exhibits document signed by
himself and Gen. Frederick Funston
in which he and his force are granted
Immunity in respect of all acts COM
mitted contrary to the laws of war.
Since this document was executed
several of Lacuna's officers and men
have been tried, condemned and sem
fenced to death for killing American
prisoners. Gen. FEnston says that
when it was signed he gave Lacuna
orally to understand that the killing
of American prisoners was excepted.
Lacuna admits that something was
said con the subjects but says no
thorough understanding was reached
and he considers thee written agree
ment binding.
