BUILDINGS FOR INDIANS.
Plans and Specifications Prepared
and Bids to Be Asked.

and Bids to BE Asked.
Congress having made an appropriation
of $4,000 for a new school building at
Truxton Canon, Col, and $4,000 for a new
dormitory at Fort Mojave, Ariz., the In
dian Office has completed the plans and
specifications for it and bids will be adver-
tised for within a few days. 1t is also
proposed, and plans have been formulated,
to erect new school plant at Keam's s.
Canon, Ariz., for the accommodation Of 200
pupils on the Moqui Indian reservation.
Plans and specifications have also been
prepared for the erection of a new stone
dormitory with capacity of 100 pupils,
pacity of the Indian school at Fort Apache,
Ariz., to 200 pupils The total expendi-
lures for buildings, water system, etc., will
aggregate $15OOOO.
The Moqui schools are the most interest
ing with which the Indian office has to
deal. There are about two thousand Mo-
Quis. They are practically the only In
dams who are house, dwellers and builders
They build their houses on rocks which rise
from the desert like islands, and which
are called mesas. The Moqui villages have
historic records running back to the six
teenth century. There are three principal
villages, at one of which Is held annually
wonderful Indian ceremonial known as
the Moqui snake dance
The new school will be located in q fertile
canon, where there Is an abundance of
water when compared with the arid region
surrounding it. There is no apprehension
about the pupils attending the school, as
the government has already about 15O pupils
in the present Moqui boarding school,
which must be abandoned because of the
being adapted to it's purposes, having orig
1nally been an old sheep ranch.

Capt. Gates and Thomas Morse Have
Rough Experience.

NEW YORK, October 11.-There landed
at a dock on East river near Brooklyn
bridge early today two hungry and tired
shipwrecked men, who said they had been
rowing in a small boat part of yesterday
and all last night. Their story was that
they were Capt. w. Gates and Thomas
Morse of the sloop yacht Rose belonging
to Abden Keen of Savannah, Ca They
were taking the yacht from Savannah to
Newport, r. l., to lay up for the winter
when yesterday morning about 10 o'clock
some twelve miles east Of Sandy Hook the
yacht was run into by the fishing schooner
Carrie and Lottie of Gloucester, Mass
any assistance. The yacht had big hole
knocked In her on the starboard side near
the mast and the water began pouring into
her. The men worked at the pump for an
hour, but finding the water gaining on
them and as the craft had five tons of lead
ballast inside and ten tons on deck, IL be-
came evident that she would sink. An at
tempt was made to get out the naphtha
launch, but IT was slowed away and dashed
so tightly that they gave it up. A small
dingie was towing astern and the men
jumped into it, They had no more than
done so when the yacht sank stern first
The men saved nothing, and without pro-
vision water, they rowed from IL o'clock
last night. They gave as their reason for
coming to this city and not stopping at
some place on the way. that they had no
money and thought they could better get
1t here. They said the yachts topmast
showed above water

CECIL RHODES BRIBE
Gave $4,000 to Liberals With a
Proviso Attached.
BRITISH TO STAY In EGYPT
He Offers Letters to Substantiate
His Statement.
L E A d E RS. ENY THEM

LONDON, October 1.-THE Spectator to-
morrow will print letters from Cecil Rhodes
and the late Francis Schnadhorst, who from
1885 to 1892 was the chief organizer and ad-
wiser of the liberal party. sustaining the
sensational allegations made some months
ago that Mr.. Rhodes in 1921 gave 5000 to
the liberal party on condition that Mr..
Gladstone would not bring about the evacu-
alton of Egypt by the British troops. Both
Sir William Vernon-Harcourt and Sir
Henry Campbell -Bannerman, the liberal
leaders, have publicly declared this to be
false. In letter covering this correspond
ence Mr.. Rhodes sums up as follows:
II met Mr. Schnadhorst in London and
he asked whether / was willing to SUBJ
scribe to the party funds. / said / was
prepared to do provided the policy was
not to scuttle out of Egypt. and that in
the event of a home rule bill being brought
forward provision should be made for the
retention of the Irish members at West
minister. / understood from Mr. Schnad-
horst that he would consult Mr.. Gladstone,
which quite satisfied me, as / looked upon
Mr.. Gladstone as the liberal party. Mr..
Schnadhorst accepted the contribution upon
the conditions defined in the letter APP
pended"
In this letter Mr.. Rhodes demanded that
his contribution be kept secret, and that
the check be returned If the Irish were not
represented at Westminster. But he add
ed postscript, saying:
Horrined at Mr.. Morley.
II am Mortified at Mr.. Morley's speech
on Egypt. II you think your party hope
less, keep the money, but give it to some
charity. 1t would be awful thing to
give my money to breaking up the empire"
In 1892 Mr.. Rhodes again wrote to Mr..
Schnadhorst drawing attention to a speech
by Mr.. Gladstone foreshadowing a scuttle
out of Egypt and expressing the hope that
Mr.. Schnadhorst would do his best to check
the mad step. But. he said, IL your re-
spected leader remains obdurate 1 shall GER
tainly call upon you to devote my subscrip-
tion to some public charity"
In Mr.. Schnadhorst's reply he says Mr..
Rhodes money had already been spent. as
he believed 1t was given mainly to help the
home rule struggle. Mr.. Schnadhorst. how
ever assured Mr.. Rhodes that Mr.. Glad
of pious opinion, that Sir William Vernon
Harcourt was also annoyed at them and
that no scuttle out of Egypt was likely, as
he had seen Lord Rosehery, then slated for
foreign minister, who would not permit 1t,
being "a strong man who will take his own
course, very different from the plant, sup
pie Granville"
"On the reception of this" Mr.. Rhodes
says, Il bothered no more, as upon Lord
Rosebery's appointment l knew that Egypt
was saved. 1 leave your readers to decide
how far Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman is
justified in characterizing the original state
ments as lie from beginning to end. Ac-
cording to their statements, neither Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman nor Sir Will
lam Harcourt are acquainted with the
facts. But / naturally assumed that Mr.
Schnadhorst was speaking with authority"

Admiral Sampson's Health.

Medical reports indicate that Admiral
Sampson is getting over the fatigue of his
journey south, and that the more favorable
surroundings of his present home are work
ing for his betterment. Beyond a little
added brightness in his bearing, however, it
is stated that his condition remains prac-
tically unchanged. The intense headaches
from which he suffers recur less frequently
than heretofore, and this in itself is a great
relief to him. The admiral continues to
take short walks, accompanied usually by
Mrs. Sampson. The principal obstacle in
the treatment of his case is said to be a
great constitutional weakness, which makes
it impossible for his system to respond to
the physicians treatment. Recurring peri
DDS of absolute forgetfuness have also a
depressing effect upon the patient

GEN. BULLER IN DISGRACE
His Speech of Yesterday Raised .
Storm of Criticism.

LONDON, October 1.-THE storm raised
by General Buffers remarkable outburst
yesterday afternoon continues to grow. The
speech is the one topic of discussion, and
there is general anticipation that dis
ciplinary measures will follow unless Gen.
eral Butler himself takes the advice of such
a conservative supporter of the government
as the Standard and resigns. The tone of
the press is generally one of surprised
amazement at his indiscretions. The people
Of England have generally stuck to him
throughout and his and his wife's social in
fuence has been most powerful and has
even reached the court.
1t had been decided that he would be ele-
waited to the peerage on the next honor list,
but it is now doubtful If, after yesterdays
confession that he advised the surrender of
Ladysmith, "a humiliation compared with
which," as the Standard says, ''all other re-
verses of the war would have been trivial"
either the king or the people will continue
to favor him.
