UNREST OF THE RosEBuDs
Commissioned Jones Optimistic as TO
Situations, hut Others Worry
q Little.
(From a Stan cofrespondent)


WASHINGTON, March 5.-(Special Tel
egram.)-W. Il. Scott OF Atkinson, Neb.,
recently sent communication to Senator
Millard, stating that there was considerable
unrest among the Rosebud Indians in South
Dakota, because OF a contemplated change
In the method of issuing rations to the
Indians. Senator Millard sent the commun-
ication to Commissioner Jones with the
request that any information he might have
be given relative to the question. Commits
sioner Jones writes a characteristic reply
and while admitting that changes are con
templated says they are entirely satisfac-
tory to the Indians. The whole subject
or these changes, he said, had been pre-
viously taken up with the head men OF
the Rosebuds and after the matter had been
explained to them they were highly salts
fed with the changes contemplated. He
thinks, therefore. that Mr.. Scott's letter is
somewhat incendiary in character and has
little ground upon which to stand.
Notwithstanding Commissioner Jones'
optimistic view of the situation the fact re-
mains, it is reported, that a great deal OF
dissatisfaction exists among the Sioux In
dians in South Dakota and protests are
being filed in the Indian ofice against the
reforms which are In contemplation.
EOhNmhANeE lot Ren0er.

REPUDIATE CANAL PROTOCOLS
Nicaragua and Costa Rica Say that
Last Springs Agreement is
Effective Now.

WASHINGTON. March 6.-Every fresh
turn in the development Of the isthmian
canal project discloses a new obstacle.
1t now appears that the protocols ne
gotiated last spring with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, whereby those countries out
lined the terms upon which they were pre-
pared to enter into permanent treaties with
the United States, conveying the necessary
rights for canal construction, are no longer
OF effect. Conditions have changed since
then, and whenever the balance of opinion
seems to incline towards one route or an
other for the canal the governments inter-
ested In the favored route suddenly hardens
It's terms and wants to abandon past agree
ments. Therefore it was necessary to draw
up new protocols, not only for the Panama
canal with Colombia. but for the Nicar-
aguan canal with Costa Rica and Nicar-
aqua, in pursuance Of the State depart
ment's policy of placing 1t within the
power of congress to freely choose the
route.

Prevent IL.

WASHINGTON. March 5.--Messrs. VOL
marans and Vessels, the Boer representa-
tives who came to the United States from
Europe for the purpose OF conferring with
the secretary OF state. have achieved their
purpose.
They were received by Mr. Hay at IL
e'cloek this morning. II was distinctly un-
derstood that the Beers we're to be re-
ceived as private citizens and not In an
Official capacity. Secretary Hay talked
with them freely with this understanding.
The principal object of the delegates was to
induce the United States government to do
something to terminate the present bloody
struggle In South Africa. They were not
very specific as to what they wanted and
apparently would be satisfied with almost
anything from Intervention direct to
q simple tender of the good
offices on the part OF the United
States Secretary Of State Hay heard them
Attentively and promised to consider their
representations and to do whatever he could
20 ameliorate the conditions in South
Africa. But he pointed out that the presi-
dent was the prime authority in such mat
ters and he recommended that they see
President Roosevelt and ascertain his
views. This they agreed to do and will be
received at the White House in the same
unofficial way.
Call at the white House
Later in the day Messrs. Wolmarans and
Vessels, accompanied by DR.. Frederick
Mueller OF the Orange Free State. called at
the White House. They we're received by
President Roosevelt in the library and re-
mained with him about fifteen minutes.
They called as private citizens and not In
their oficial capacity as Boer representa-
tives. Mr.. Roosevelt listened attentively
TO what they had to say and then informed
them this government cannot and will not
interfere in the struggle.
A matter of complaint by the delegates
was the shipment of horses mules and pro-
visions from the United States for the Brit
fish forces In South Africa. Secretary Hay
went over this subject very carefully with
them, citing authorities and precedents.
which he pointed out conclusively estab-
l1ished the hack OF authority on the part Of
the general government to prevent the
American farmer from shipping his stock.
and the stock raiser from shipping his
produce to any part OF the world he de-
sired. He also pointed out that the gov
ernment's attitude In this matter toward
the South African war had been strictly
neutral and that the government had done
nothing to prevent shipments Of commodi-
ties to the Boer forces.
