THE LANDS FOR SETTLEMENT.
Enormous Number Of Letters Asking fer In.
formation About the Opening -wsrn-
Ing to Intruder.

Washington, April 2O.-The pros
pect for the opening of new lands in
Oklahoma territory to settlement un-
der the act of March last, provid-
ing for the disposition Of lands ceded
by the Wichita, Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache Indians. has had the effect of
increasing the correspondence of
the commissioner Of the general lard
Office until it has come to be Of enor-
nous dimensions. Most of the let
tiers ask for information upon this
subject. In January 2,327 letters were
received; in February, 4,239; in
March, 5,O74, and thus far during the
present month this mail has num-
bered 3,744. In view of the fact that
the lands to be offered for settlement
include only about 10000 quarter
sections, or an equal number of
homes, it is foreseen that there will
be tremendous rivalry.
Many persons in the vicinity of the
new lands and elsewhere are repre-
sented to be holding but inducements
to would-be settlers to consult them
as to ways and means of securing
lands, protesting to have exclusive
information. Commissioner Herr
mann, Of the general land office, yes
terday issued a warning to the pub
lie against all such representations.

question that is not open to all

will be punished.
The lands will be thrown open in

THE MANCHU DYNASTY.
Japan Thinks II IL Bound Hand and Foot
by Russia French Claims -Expedi-
tl0n Against Gen. Liu.

London, April 90.-"There are very
strong indications,' says the Shang-
hal correspondent of the Morning
Post "that the Japanese government
proposes to put itself at the head OF
the reform movement in China in or
der to overthrow the Manchu
dynasty which it considers bound

The officials of the French foreign

II was asserted by n high German

lead to an engagement, inasmuch as
he will hardly stand his guard. The
expedition is more in the nature of A

CONMISSARY FRAUDS
Gen. Macarthur Says They Are
Exaggerated in Press Reports.
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT. in CEBU.


Washington, April 19.-The follow
ing cablegram to the adjutant gen.
eral from Gen. Macarthur was made
public yesterday: "With reference
to your telegram of the 10th the press
report is grossly exaggerated, mis-
leading; matters therein touched up
on regarding officers subsistence de-
partment fully investigated. Proceed
ings (mailed by) transport Sheridan.
Regarding theft of commissary stores,
the amount Of which is grossly ex-
aggerated by the press reports, i'm
mediate and most drastic measures
have already been applied. Three Of
ficers and a number Of enlisted men
are being tried by court-martial, a
number Of citizens by a military COM
mission"
No statement was made that the re-
port of Macarthur was satisfactory,
although it all along has been the
theory at the war department that
the reports from Manila were exagger-
ated. At the same time there is
cause for regret in the department
that even under the best construc-
ton that can be placed upon the
dispatch three officers and number
of enlisted men and a number of civil
ians have conducted themselves in
such a manner as to necessitate a
court,,martial, or a trial by military
commission in the case of the civil
ians. 1t is said, however, that even
IT these persons were being tried
there might be exaggeration in re-
gard to the offenses with which they
were charged.
Provincial Government In Cuba.
Cebu, p. l., April 19.-The act es-
tablishing provincial government in
Cebu was passed yesterday. Julio
Llorente, of the supreme court of
the Philippines, who is a native of
Cebu, was appointed governor. The
United States Philippines commission
announced that they were satisfied
the act would assist in the pacifca-
tion of Cebu, pointing out that other
wise there would be a recurrence to
military government. The adjacent
pueblo of San Nicholas was added to
the city of Cebu, though against the
protest of the inhabitants of San
Nicholas, who, like the inhabitants
OF most towns in this island, have
been conducting what are practically
insurrecto local governments, includ-
ing the collection of taxes, all of
which has been permitted by Lieut..
Col. McClernand, the military govern
or, who justfies this course on the
principle that it is all carried on un-
der military supervisor. Most of the
subordinate military officers favor
more vigorous policy.
The commissioners are disappointed
at the conditions in Cebu. Senior
Llorente, who is an honorable and
capable man, is opposed by a con-
siderable native faction, but his ad.
ministration is expected to relieve
what is admittedly state of siege.

BANK OFFICERS IN TROUBLE.
President and Cashier Of Broken Eu
faula, Alabama, Institution Charg-
ed With Wrong Doing.

Captain S. H. Dent and E. B. Young
president and cashier of the broken
national bank of Eufaula, Ala, went
to Montgomery Saturday night in
company with United States District
Attorney Warren S. Reese. No war
rant has been sworn out against them
but they went to the capital in order
that they might make bond and avoid
any unpleasantness in case proceed.
ings went so far as an arrest.
United States District Attorney
Reese went TO Eufaula at the instance
of the bank examiner, but did not take
out warrant. 1t is learned on the
highest authority that the matter will
probably be arranged to go over for a
couple Of weeks to the United States
grand jury without the Institution of
legal proceedings.
The charge against Dent and Young
is the conversion of Alabama state
bonds of Ex-Governor William c. Oates
ex-governor, however, did not insti
tute the proceedings, which are on the
initiative Of the federal authorities
Some of the bank officers claim they
had authority to use the missing bonds
which Governor Oates denies. The
failure to issue the warrants is partly
due to some conflict of opinion as to
whether it is matter for the state
or the federal courts.
Captain Dent denies all knowledge
that the bonds had been used at all.
