DELAWARES REJECT MONEY.
II Was Conditional Upon a Settlement
in Full


Washington, May 26.-Three Delaware
Indians, composing the delegation sent
here to make arrangements for the set
tlenlent of certain Delaware claims
against the government. tonight turned
their footsteps homeward without taking
with them $4,000 in cash which has been
awaiting their pleasure in the United
States treasury vaults since April q.
This money was appropriated at the
last session of congress, with the under
standing that. should fhe Delaware In
dians accept the same, they would do so
only under the condition that il be re-
ceived in lieu of all their claims against
Uncle Sam. 1t was this question that the
Delaware delegation has been wrestling
with for the past week, they have finally
come to the conclusion not to accept the
responsibility for such arrangement with
the government. They claim to have
some s12c00,0 900 in claims against the fed
eral government and they see no reason
why the Delawares should give up their
fight for the recovery of the greater
part of this in view of congressional rec
ognition of the claims by recent legisla-
ton. These Indians were sent to Wash
fngton by the Delaware council with au-
thority to do what they thought best
within the premises. Their action OF to-
day again throws on the council all re-
sponsibility in the matter.
