"Why, I should think you'd be delighted to

obviously. "they happen to be pirates or can

But Jack, anxious TO learp concerning the
smoke, had slipped off his shoes and was
climbing up the sloping coral ascent-which
was slightly rounded-before the other had

The smoke came pouring through sort of

Fred was so amused at the idea OF the
newcomer having stepped in that he began
to smile broadly, too, thinking to himself as
he looked Jack over:
"Why, this young fellow can't be any older

And then both began to laugh, in the midst
of which entered Mr.. Carline, who had become
alarmed at Jacks prolonged absence.
As | have often said, it was seldom that
this usually emotionless gentleman showed
anything like surprise. Indeed, he had been
heard to remark that, in his thirty-four years
of sailor life he had encountered so many
strange, and even marvellous, incidents by land
and sea, that he had used up all the astonish-

with all the other tribes of the
plains to the south. They were
democratic in their tribal life,
with hereditary chieftains.
Their first treaty with the gov
eminent was made in 1850, and
by subsequent treaties their range
was more and more circumscribed,
until the entire tribe, with the ex-
ception of the Southern Utes, were
confined to the present reserva-
ton in Utah. Despite adverse con-
ditions, those occupying the Utah
reservation have become fairly
prosperous, while the Southern
Utes, remaining in Colorado, have
been in miserable condition, owing
to broken treaty promises and the
arid soil on which they have been
compelled to live.
In 1881 the entire tribe was Of
ficially reported to number 1874.
In 1901 their number had fallen
to 1850, Of whom nearly 1000
were in the Colorado reservation.
Today the entire tribe probably
does not number above 1000.
The most notable uprising in
which the Utes have taken part
was that OF 1879, resulting from
the earlier gross mismanagement
of the agency and entertainments
upon the reservation by covetous
whites. This outbreak assumed
such serious aspect that the gov
eminent was forced to send troops
under Major Thornborough from
Fort Steele to check further in
subordination.
Immediately following this news
the outbreak became even more
widespread, and the advancing
cavalry was attacked and Major
Thornborough and 13 men killed.
The reservation agent, Meeker,
and many other whites were mas
sacred the same day Mrs. Meeker
was carried off into captivity.
Peace was at last restored after
a conference between General Mer.
rift and Chief Ouray.

BUTTE, Nov. 5.-For the first
time in years the United States
army has been brought face to
face again with an Indian problem
in the stubborn migration Of the
Ute Indians from their reservation
to find big water, big wood, big
game and life happy" Their
avowed destination was the Chey-
enne reservation and this threaten.
ed juncture with the Montana In
dams made the situation all the
more dangerous.
A force of cavalry was placed in
a strategic position to block this
latter movement and the soldiers
closed in from five different points
on the Utes.
Saturday the tribe was corralled
at Sheridan, Wyoming, and an
agreement reached by which the
government will maintain them I'M
til the chief can go to Washington
and ask Roosevelt for better hunt
ing ground.
The Utes are $50 strong, includ-
ing women and children. but not
more than $50 fighting men were
expected to oppose the soldiers.
From the beginning the troops
moved cautiously. planning to con-
front the redskins with such an
overwhelming force that they
could be arrested without blood
shed.
The Utes, led by Chief Kannapp,
have been off their reservation in
Utah several weeks. They were
short of provisions and when on
their slow march across Wyoming
they began raiding ranches and
herds, creating CONSERVATION
among the white settlers.
In a brush with COWBOYS the
Utes killed two of the latter,
which caused the governor Of
Wyoming to demand federal pro-
lection for the citizens of the state.

CRABS LITTLE REPUBLIC
ESTABLISHED BY UNITED STATES

MONROVIA, Liberia, Nov. s.
Liberia, the little West African
coast negro country established by
the United States as a refugee for
free negroes, will soon be annexed
by Great Britain.
The activity of Great Britain
has been brought to the attention
of the Washington authorities by
the German emperor, but the
United States government has de-
clined to interfere.
A British company has been
formed, headed by Sir Harry
Johnston, the famous African ex-
plorer, which has advanced to Lii
IBERIA a loan of $1,350,000 for rub
Der and other concessions in the
interior, and the customs dues
have been pledged for the pay
ment of the interest on the debt.
The Liberians themselves have
not given a thought to what this
means. Their legislators have
never before seen as much money
as one and one-third millions, and
the bill authorizing the loan went
through the congress with light
ming speed.
Before long, fighting is certain
to result from the efforts of the
Englishmen to get control of all
the entry ports. Only about one
third of the coast line of Liberia
recognizes the authority of the
Monrovia government. The south
ern part, where the Kroo boys
live, the only African natives who
are hard workers, has always de-
clined to allow the Monrovia Of
ficials to run the country.
Smuggling is constant there,
and England Is going to try to
stop 1t, so as to secure more money
for the new British company. 1t
will be necessary to employ an
armed force against the Kroo boys.
The Liberian police and army are
not capable'of making any impress
sion on the Kroos, and England
will De compelled to use her own

troops were ordered to intercept
the Indians and escort them back
to their reservation. To all adj
