the club, while determined in

your own interests and those of the

Non-citizeus cannot afford TO put
Improvements upon the lands when
their tenure Of them is uncertain.
Consequently the lands are either
idle or poorly farmed and their
productive power is crippled
The Department Of the Interior
wants congress to pass a law sub
jecting all the lands Of the terri
tary to the burdensome restrictions
imposed upon the Creeks. It's the
opinion Of those best acquainted
with conditions in the territory
that such a measure would operate
only to further retard the develop
ment Of the territory; that instead
Of these restrictions being extended
they should be removed in all the
nations, and such safeguards adopt
ed for the perfection Of the incom-
petent citizens as Congress may
deem advisable.
What Washington doesn't know
about the IndianTer. would proba-
bly, fill the congressional library

the conditions in the territory than
about those in the Philippines. It
is inconceivable that if out states

facts that they would be willing to

course, make a tremendous noise in

The Roosevelt sentiment in the
Atlantic Coast States and many Of
the Middle States is certainly at

thing against the trusts and at

MONTREAL FLOODED
Ice damned Against the
 Victoria Bridge.
Houses Carried Away, Suburban Vil- lages Inundated and Thousands Living in Upper Stories.

Montreal, April 10.-Montreal is eX- .periencing a serious flood. Early to- day a large quantity of ice came down from Lake St. Louis and jammed up against Victoria bridge. In a few minutes the water began to rise and in a short time it had reached the top of the dyke built after the last great flood and which has been, up to the present time, sufficient protection. In a short time it became possible to navigate all that portion of Verdun in the neighborhood of Queens park, with boats. All teams that could be pressed into service were engaged in strengthening and raising the dyke. At o'clock the water had reached a depth of six feet on the streets. To- night it is falling, but the danger is by no means over yet as there is more ice to come down.
 Three thousand people in the village of Verdun, adjoining the western linn it's of the city of Montreal, are tonight living in the upper stories of their houses, while several thousand more who reside in that part of the city known as point St. Charles are in danger. LaPrairie, which is situated opposite to Verdun, was flooded at an early hour today and four houses sit uated on the river front were carried off their foundations by ice.
 Lachine, which adjoins Verdun to the west is also threatened.

Qua veSi and MardviIIO Cap- tured and Shot.
.TORTURERS OF TORRES
Principal Leaders of the Rebellion Disposed of Tn a Most Practical Way After Confessing to the Killing of Mexican General.

Hermosillo, Mex, April 1o.-Manuel Guavesi, who for five years has been at the head of the Yaqui'g in Sonora and who has in that ime instigated many uprisings, and one Maravillo, Q lesser leader of the savages, have been captured by Capt. Barron and eXecut- ed. They were discovered among a number of prisoners taken in an en- gagement with d band of Indians near Batomote and Capt. Barron, not being prepared to take any chances, ordered them shot immediately. They died bravely.
 The execution of these two men, it is believed, marks the death of the warning Yaquis. It was Guavesi who was in command of the Yaqui forces that ambushcd and almost annihilated whole company of the twentieth bat talion near Zamorata in the. rebellion of two years ago, when both Capt. Celso Gomez and Lieut. Jose Vallejo were killed. Guayesi was in practical command of the hostile Yaquis in Son. ora and exercised great influence over them. Before his death Maravilla. confessed to the killing of Rafael Tor res, nephew of Gen. Torres, who, while in the rear of the Mexican party, was set upon by a band of Indians. cap tured. tortured and finally killed. He | told O fthe terrible torture to which | Torres was subjected.

A Report on the Work of
 Reclamation Service
SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS
One of them is the Salt River Valley Regarding the Montana Scheme Certain Difficulties have been Pre- Sented.

Washington, April 1G.-Progress has been made in the irrigation work of the government and is reviewed in a publication issued by the geological survey which points out the necessity of great caution and conservatism in the extension of reclamation work. It says that of the irrigation projects favorably reported in 19G3 which in cluded those on the Truckee river in Nevada, on the Salt river in Arizona, on the Milk river in Montana on the Sweet Water river in Wyoming and on the Gunnison river in Colorado the Ne vada and Arizona projects have been found feasible and construction and engineering works along the Truckee and Salt rivers have progressed to req sonable extent.
 The Montana project, however has presented unexpected engineering diff faculties as well as complications re- garding water rights, so that progress is slow It was found necessary to modify the first plans in order to achieve early results. The Wyoming project as first outlined was found i'm practicable. A better reservoir site than that on Sweet Water river, how ever. has been discovered on the North Platt> SC that q. large system of development may be worked out there in the future. Engineering difficulties are encountered in the Colorado pro- ject. The arrogant of arid lands there by reclaima5le is less, too, than was anticipated.
