HITCHCOCK CANNOT PUT
VALUE ON COAL LANDS

Washington, December 14.-Secretafy
Hitchcock today added his views to those
which have been gathered in Indian Ter
rtory by the special Senate committee
authorized to investigate the property
rights and citizenship situation of the five
civilized tribes. An endeavoM was made
to arrive at the value of the coal lands
of these tribes. it having been variously
estimated at from S150O0,OOO to between
four and five billions of dollars. It
was stated that application for the pur-
chase of these lands was expected from
the new state of Oklahoma.
The secretary was unable to place 4
value on the lands The geological survey
had estimated the deposits to contain
nearly three billion tons of coal, while the
government mining inspector for the ter
ritory placed the amount at billion and
quarter tons. The secretary regard I'd
the latter estimate as more nearly cor
rect. He added that a fair price for the
mineral rights might be arrived at upon
the basis of the royalty of cents a ton
the amount the Indians now receive under
coal land leases.
The secretary expressed himself against
any present sale of the lands. saying he
believed it would be impossible to get
anything like fair price for them.

ECUADOREAN REBEL
COMMITS SUICIDE
COL, VEGA HAD BEEN CAPTURED
BY GOVERNMENT TROOPS, AND
EFFORTS HAD BEEN MADE TO
RESCUE HIM.

Guayaquil, Ecuador, December IA
When General Paez and the government
troops were entering Cuenca today with
the rebels captured at the battle of Ayan-
cay, a mob tried to rescue the prisoners,
whereupon the soldiers fired and dis
persed the mob. As the troops fired Col
onel Vega. the rebel leader, who was
among those captured at Ayancay,
drew revolver and killed himself.
The conservatives say that Vega was
assassinated by the government troops.
The death of Colonel Vega, who was
a prominent figure in the conserva-
tive party, is deeply lamented.
In spite of reports to the contrary, the
revolution against the government is not
crushed Dispatches received here last
night announced that rebel bands had
appeared in the province of ORC, and had
occupied the towns of Santa Rosa, Ma
chela and Pasaje.
1t is further asserted that Colonel Lar
rea, who was secretary of war in Presi-
dent Garcias administration, has landed
in the province of ORC at the head of
new rebel band, and has occupied the
Umbes and Pera.
The authorities here hurriedly organized
an expedition to attack the rebels. This
force left Guayaquil for Machela late
last night on board the Ecuadorlan cruiser
CotopaXi The troops, which were under
the command of Col Manuel Serrano,
numbered 400 men, and took with them
field guns and large quantity of ammu-
milton.
AS this dispatch is filed 1t is learned
that bands of rebels have appeared be-
tween Lataculga and Ambato.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Girl and the Bandit"

The comedy opera at the Jefferson last
night contained the germs of a love story.
Angelo, a poet, and Count di Romano
both sought the hand of Violetta, the
fair Venetian girl. The count wins her,
and he deserved success because he could
sing. George J. MeFarlane was the Count
di Romano, who could sing, while the
tenor, Frederick Knight, as Angelo, had
little opportunity to sing or to act.
But the life of the play was furnished
by Viola Gillette, who as Violetta
charmed all who came to the play. She
has a eontralto voice, and she is pretty,
and as a girl-boy she easily wins APP
plause. Miss Gillette was the girl in the
comedy and William Selery was the
bandit chief, but he was not very dam
gerous bandit, just a make-belieye ban
dit.
The chorus was exceptionally excellent.
1t actually could sing, and the girls as
well as the men in it wore fine costumes.
All in all the two acts of the Girl and the
Bandit ran off pleasantly and satisfae-
toriy. The audience went away well
pleased, and that after all is the best
test of a musical comedy.
