Them Back to Their Homes.

Havana, Oct. 31.-Major Kane. COM
mander of the marines stationed at
C%ienfuegos, has sent in a report that
on Oct. q he was informed that a
serious uprising was on foot. He at
once posted strong guards at the en-
frances to the city, with orders not
to permit armed persons to pass in or
out. He went reconnoitering and in
the town of Caunao, four miles to the
northeast, he fould Colonel Toledo at
the head of a mounted and unarmed
body of 100 ex-insurgents. Toledo
said he had organized for the purpose
of resisting a threatened attack by
the moderates. Major Kane explained
that these fears were u%nfounded and
advised Colonel Toledo to disband his
men and send them back to their
homes. This advice was followed.
A similar gathering near Sancti

TROOPS PLAN TO AWE INDIANS
Hope to Secure Surrender Of Utes
Without Bloodshed.

Arvada, Wyo., Oct. 31.-The rene
gade Ute Indians are ~entrenched in a
strong position in the hills adjacent
to Arvada and the Tenth and Sixth
cavalry troops are accommodating
the country, preparatory to closing in
on the redskins. Apparently, the OBJ
ject of the troops is to awe the In
dams with a display of superior force
and thus cur the surrender of the
Indians without bloodshed. The Utes
are determined not to give in to the
soldiers until they have to, believing
1t will mea their return to Utah,
where they say they cannot secure
enough to eat. The Utes have been
active in laying in a large supply or
ammunition at Cheyenne and Gillette.
together with provisions, and If tho
temper OF the leading tribesmen can
be taken as an indication, they pro-
pose to fight or at least make a show
OF resistance and secure concessions
from the soldiers and be permitted to
make their way to the Cheyenne reser-
walton and remain there pending their
disposition by Washington.
Last night the camphres OF the In
dams were blazing brightly and the
only evidence of life was the occa-
sional fitting OF the shadow Of some
warrior by the fires. The Utes are
not painted, o are they dancing.

Sheridan, Wyo., Oct. 31.-A hurried
change in the disposition of troops or

now lies in the anticipated junction or
Cheyenne Indians with the Utes. a
portion of Colonel Augur's command
was hurried on to Sheridan, where
supply wagons were started north

It Is learned that the troops under
Colonel Augur, reinforced by w adj
ditional companies from Fort Macken'
zie, will proceed today to Ashland,
eighty miles north of Sheridan, to
meet the troops coming overland
from Fort Keogh. Troops from Fort
Keogh should arrive at Ashland to-
night, but Colonel Augur cannot ar.
rive there before tomorrow night.
Rousculp was with General Crook In

MAD RUSH FOR LAND

DIAN RESERVATION.
Many "Sooners" Get Into Reservation
Ahead Of Time Set for Opening and
Take Up Most Valuable Claims in
Vicinity Of Creeks.

Thorne, New, Oct. 30.-With the fir.

from the top of Grant peak, the high

hurried heller SHELTER over the bound
airy lines of plains and mountain and
before the great cloud of smoke
which rose in the air from the dyna-
mite explosion had drifted away a
spectacular race of automobiles, race
horses and vehicles was on. So great
was the rush across the desert from
the line nearest Hawthorne that a
number of persons narrowly escaped
being trampled over and in numerous
instances injuries were reported.
Horses were ridden until they dropped
and men recounted their Ill fortune
when their automobiles became
stalled in the deep sands. Jaded and
overcome by thirst, numbers OF pros
pectors barely summoned enough
strength to make their locations.
Those who had waited for the sig
nal from the top of Mount Grant be.

found that all the most valuable
claims in the vicinity Of the rich
Dutchman's, Cottonwood and numer'
Gus other creeks emptying into the
southwestern section Of Walker lake
had been taken up by men who had
rushed in the night before. contrary to
law. Even men who employed
launches to take them across Walker
lake from the eastern side found that
their efforts were of no avail, as they
were much too late to be on an equal
footing with the men who had disre
garded the law.

the men were seen the Indians fired
a volley, killing a Spear horse. The
two men escaped to the Spear ranch
on one horse.
The Spear roundup wagon was
held up by another band of Utes and
stripped. George Thoet, the camp
cook. was bound and gagged and the
horse wrangler was covered with a
rifle while the Indians calmly looted
the camp and strapped the plumber on
their ponies.
