EDUCATION OF THE INDIAN.
Should Be Taught that He Must Work
or Starve.

or StdrVS.
WASHINGTON annual report
OF Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Jones advocates the education OF the
Indian in the rudiments Of the Eng
lish language and that he be taught
that he must work or starye. The
commissioner thinks this policy, in a
generation or more, will resenerate
the race, and that the Indian should
be protected only to the extent that
he may gain confidence in himself.
There were 257 Indian schools in Cp.
GRAFTON during the year, ninety-one be.
ing reservation boarding schools,
twenty-six non-reservation and 140
day schools. The enrolment OF pupils
was 24,357, and employees numbered
2,2S2.
Mr.. Jones strongly denounced the
"sun" and otne- religious dances" of
the Indians, and says that sworn re-
ports of eye witnesses to these per-
formances show they are revolving in
the extreme.
A total tf S757,173 has been paid tc
the Indians for their inherited lands
under the act of May 81, 1902.

NO PEACE FOR SAN EOMINGo.
Attempt to Compromise Fails and
Bombardment Must Continue

SAN DOMINGO, Republic of San
Domingo, SInday.-President Wos y
Gil, in his efforts to bring about a
peaceable arrangement with the insur-
gent forces which are besieging this
city, today commissioned United
States Minister Powell, the Belgian
minister, the minister of Hayti and
the Spanish consul to visit the insUr-
gent camp. Consequently an armis-
tice was agreed upon, to expire al
noon, and the peace commission cen
ferred with the insurgent leaders. The
latter, however, refused to entertain
the peace proposals and demanded ,ths,
surrender of the city, but they pro
longed the armistice until o'clock
this evening, after which hour the
bombardment Of San Domingo was re-
sumed and will be continued until the
capital falls.
The United States minister's resi-
dence was destroyed during the pre-
vious bombardment.
The inhabitants of this city are IN
a state OF panic.

THE CONVENTION
CHICAGO OR ST. LOUIS LIKELY
TO CAPTURE 1T.
OTHER PLACES IN THE FIELD
ST. Louis viii Make Special Effort
New York Hopes to Get the Gather
ing-When the Convention vii!
Likely Be Held.

WASHINGTON-It is thought high
ly probable that the next republican
national convention will be held in
Chicago and that the date of its meet
ing will be Tuesday, June IA. That is
the opinion of several members of the
national committee, although of course
the place and date will not be decided
until the meeting of the committee,
which Chairman Hanna has called at
the Arlington hotel in this city for De-
cember II and II.
The opinion will not preclude the
usual interesting and lively struggle
between rival aspirants for the honor
Seven cities will this year present
their claims, with more or less display
of oratory and earnestness. These
are Chicago New York, Pittsburg, ST.
Louis, Milwaukee, Detroit and San
Francisco. 1t looks as though the
struggle would be narrowed between
Chicago and st. Louis.
st. Louis will make a special effort
to add a national political convention
to the list of attractions in connection
with the Louisiana Purchase eXposi-
tion. 1t will be urged that there will
be ample hotel accommodations, and
attention will be called to the success
full entertainment in st. Louis of the
republican convention that nominated
Mckinley in 1896. The point will also
be pressed that everyone who attends
the convention will wish to visit the
exposition, especially those who come
from distant parts of the country, and
thus will be able to avoid the time
and expense of two Journeys during
the summer of the exposition and con-
vention.
Pittsburg will press its claims seri-
ously. 1t will promise excellent hotel
accommodations and will urge good
railway connections. Philadelphia has
encouraged Pittsburg by keeping out
Of the contest, being content with hay
ing enjoyed the honor of entertaining
the second Mckinley convention in
1900.
New York has been suggested for
years as an admirable convention city,
and no doubt many of those who will
take part in nominating the next pres
ident would enjoy a. visit to the me-
trcpolis of the country. New York has
always shown an air OF Indifference as
to whether the convention should
come there or not But it is said that
representatives of the republicanism
organization there will appear this
year and urge its selection.
The probable date of the convention
corresponds with that of four years
ago. If the plans Of the republican
managers do not miscarry congress
will have adjourned before the second
week in June, and that date will allow
ample time for thorough preparations
for the campaign, whose months of
chief activity will be September and
October.

Rumors of Dissolution.

LONDON-The fact that two pro-

no questions of dissolution were
brought up. and that the matters con-

GENEVA, Switzerland-By order of

there has been curtailment of the

says: Notwithstanding this decline in

here from 100000 tons in May to 523,-

such sounccs are.
As mosquitoes can not be destroyed all at
once, because ii VIII take a considerable
time before every one IS educated to the
necessity and possibility OF doing so, It IS
most important that every case OF malaria
should be carefully screened during the
night so that no Auopheles may convey
the disease TO others. OF course the same
argument applies to yellow fever.
The quarantine authorities OF the three
