TO PROTECT THE INDIANS.
Secretary Hitchcock Favors a Terri
torial Superintendent.


Secretary Hitchcock has formulated a
bill providing for the appointment of a
superintendent of Indian affairs for In
dian territory, and in transmitting the
measure to Senator Stewart. chairman Of
the Senate committee on Indian affairs, has
written letter in which he says:
THE existence of the Dawes commission
terminates at the end of the fiscal year.
the unfinished work of the commission will
be considerable, due In some measure to
delays occasioned by litigation. some Of
which is still pending. Add to this the
practical management of the sale and leas-
ing of the surplus lands of approximately
$1,000 ailottees the collection of purchase
money installments and rentals the care
and supervision of the disbursement OF
their funds, the control and adjustment Of
the estates of deceased minor and insane
Indians (Which, If left to the courts will
be largely wasted in official and attorney
fees). the supervision of their educa tionaI
and Industrial interests. and some fdea
may be formed of the magnitude and i'm
portance of the duties that will devolve
upon the local administration of Indian ter
ritory affairs for an indefinite period It
Is believed that the most satisfactory re-
suits will be attained by placing such
administration In charge of single cffi-
cial. possessing a high order of the quail
ihcations best adapted to the character
of the great service to be performed and
invested with du6QuAtc power TO cope
with the unusual conditions Of the situa-
tion."

afternoon erected barricades in the vi
cinity of the Narva Gate.
The news from the provinces today
shows an alarming extension of the
strike. Kovna, a fortress town of
Lithuania, having almost $4,000 in
habitants, seems absolutely in the
hands of the socialists who have sum-
moned the people to an armed rising
and the situation is so serious at Kre-
mentchug, south Russia. that the gov
ernor has declared martial law.
At Saratoff, in eastern European
Russia, wholesale arrests have been
made the strike is extending. At XIII
serious collision have taken place be-
tween the troops and strikers during
which about forty persons We're killed
or wounded.
The situation is really far more Sc
rious in the Baltic provinces, Cauca-
sia and other non-Russian provinces
where the entire populace is hostile.
In the case OF the Baltic provinces it
is realized that it may be necessary
to practically reconquer them. The
first divisions of the first army crops
which belongs to the St Petersburg
province have begun to arrive mere
from Manchuria but they are being
dispatched to the Baltic provinces
without stopping here.

Dominican Vice-Presidenl Assumes
Functions Of the Absent Morales
sANTo DOMINGO CITY Is oUIEI
Some Light Thrown on the Recent
Revolutionary Disturbance No
Actual Change in the Dominant Par
ty i'm Santo DomingO-President
Morales Reported to Have Been
Shot and Seriously Wounded.

Washington, December 27.--Tne
State Department today received by
cable from Santo Domingo advices
which throw much needed light on the
revolutionary disturbance reported
from there yesterday. These We're to
the effect that the diplomatic corps
had been notified by the dominican
minister for foreign affairs-General
Tejera-that the president (Morales).
having abandoned the capital, leaving
the government without an acting
head, the cabinet had called upon the
vice president General Caceres) to
take charge pending the temporary
failure of the president to exercise his
functions. The city Of Santo Domingo
was quiet and the cabinet officers We're
exercising their functions without in
terruptiOn.
President Morales was reported to
be at Jaima. ten or twelve miles from
the capital, among a band of revolu-
tionists who were fighting there. AS
the situation is understood here, there
mas been no actual change in the do
minicant party in Santo Domingo as
the result of Morales abandonment.
The fact is the party known as HOr-
acia, of which General Caceres, the
vice president is the principal figure,
has all along controlled the cabinet,
and this cabinet in turn, owing to the
popularity Of the Dominican constitu-
ton has completely dominated the
presidential office AS Morales was
ambitious to conduct his own govern
ment, he fell under suspicion of dislOy-
atty to his party. and also was suspect
ed of intending to join the opposition,
or Jimnez party. Finding himself
without power because the cabinet
controlled the party. Morales antici-
pated removal by the party leaders
and fled to the revolutionists. with the
intention of securing sufficient force
to re-enter the capital and drive out
his enemies.
The navy department has received a
cablegram from Commander Cham
bers. of the Nashville, dated at Puerto
Plata last night, stating that he had
been informed from governmental
source that President Morales had
been shot and seriously wounded.
