saving the lives of many of them in
the exciting times of 1873. The land
now offered was the property of Vice
Consul Mason. who died several years
ago and left it to his daughter.
AS the government now owns be-
tween 10000 and 81 900 acres of land
at the Guantanamo naval station it is
doubtful whether any negotiations to
acquire more acreage there will be
undertaken. In the last session of
congress great hostility was shown
toward the development of naval sta.
ton at Guantanamo. it being claimed
by southern senators that such de-
velopment would divert work from the
Charleston, S. c., and New Orleans
navy yards.
The proffer of this property to the
government was made personally by
Nine. Rozier, recently, when she
called to see the secretary of the navy.
Although the daughter of British
consular officer, Nine. Rozier speaks
but little English, her mother being a
Cuban. No price was put upon the
property.

MONUMENT T0S|OUx
Courageous Deed of Indian Band
to Be Recognized.
Granite Shaft viii Be Erected In
South Dakota in Memory of
Young Braves Who Risked
Their Lives.

Aberdeen, S. D.-After the lapse of
well-nigh half a century the band of
young Sioux Indians, known as the
Fool Soldier band, which in Novem-
ber. 1862, at great personal risk to
themselves, rescued, at a spot near
the Missouri river in what is now
Walworth county, South Dakota, two
women and four children, whites, who
had been abducted by rowing band
of Sioux from their homes at Lake
Chetak. Mimi. are to be remembered
and their heroic behavior commem-
GRATED by suitable monument.
Under the auspices of the South
Dakota Pioneer association, granite
shaft will be erected on June 81, a
mile from Mobridge, S. D., where the
rescue was effected.
The Fool Soldier" band consisted
of II young Indian braves, and their
act was one of the exceptional deeds
of the aborigines in which the whites
were befriended at the risk of incur
ring ostracization and the enmity of
not only their own tribe, but the en-
tire Sioux nation, at that time power
full and warlike.
After conceiving the idea of saving
the white captives, the young braves
watched with unceasing vigilance un-
til the opportune time came, when
they secured possession of their cap
tives and rushed them to a white
settlement whence they were returned
to their homes
Walworth county was at that time
totally unsettled by whites, but after
the whites settled the country the
members of the band were always
welcome guests at any white mans
house, and after the Walworth County
Old Settlers association was formed,
the survivors of the band were fea-
lures of every reunion of the associa-
ton.
The monument erected to their
memory will be plain granite shaft.
standing upon two mammoth native
boulders and suitably inscribed with
the account of the deed which won
the Indians Immortality. Doane Rob-
inson of Pierre, S. D.. state historian,
will deliver the address at the dedica-
tion of the monument.

Hesketh Bell, who has just been on a
tour through the eastern province of
Uganda.
Vague stories of the charms of this
land of the Bagishu people. its dense
population and high state of cultiva.
tion had reached the governor of
Uganda, but the expedition was not
prepared for the surprises that met
it.
The governor travelled through
the enchanting scenery of a fertile
plain to the base of Mount Eldon, tow
ering $4,000 feet From the ridges
which separated smiling valleys Gov
Bell saw stretched out on every side
a scene which could only be compared
to Southern France.
Fields of millet, wimbi and other
grain, and groves of bananas rolled
away as far as the eye could reach
the vast garden being cut up into
small rectangular plots each carefully
defined by hedges, while dotted all
about were wonderful profusion of
dome-shaped huts of the Bagishu.
Gov. Bell says that the whole scene
gave him the impression of such calm
security, of plenty and of peace that
he tried in vain to realize that he was
in the heart of Africa. The inhabit
ants of this delectable land are, how.
