MADRIz IS WARNED.
He Is Again Notified Not to Modest
American Property.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Invasion of
American property in Nicaragua by
soldiers of Madriz, has called forth a
formal protest from the United States.
The state department has repeated its
ultimatum to both factions in Nicara-
aqua, that American property must be
protected.
The situation of the Madriz govern
ment is precarious, according to state
department reports.
The Madriz soldiers have again been
invading the property of Americans,
impressing laborers and appropriating
provisions according to the state de-
partment advices from Consular Agent
w. H. DeSavigny at Matagalpa. On
July 81 they invaded the home of AL
fred Scott, impressed his laborers as
soldiers and carried off supplies. The
same depredations were also commit
ted on a large American estate in
Chontales.
Consul Olivares, at Managua, made
formal protest to Madriz and repeated
the ultimatum of this government that
both factions in Nicaragua will be held
strictly to account for protection of
Americans and property in the terri
tory.

GORE OFFERS EVIDENCE.
Senator Submits Telegram Referring
to Sherman and Curtis.

McAlester, Okla, Aug 9-Senator T.
P. Gore at the congressional investi-
cation of the Indian lands deal intro
duced and had read to the investigat-
ing committee kilograms in which the
names of Vice President Sherman and
Senator Charles Curtis, of Kansas,
were named.
One of the kilograms read:
With McMurray there to state our
claims with Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Sher-
man, who understand better than any,
body else what we want and with the
assistance of our president it begins to
look like we are coming into our own
This telegram was dated at Kinta.
Okla, May 2, last. and was sent to
Richard c. Adams, an attorney at
Washington, by George w. Scott, J. F.
McMurray's agent among the Indians.
It's relation to Senator Cores charges
of having been offered 1000 bride to
put through" congress the s30,O00,00O
McMurray Indian land deal was eX-
planned by the senator.
1T merely shows the activity of the
McMurray interests at Washington
said Senator Gore.
by Offering this evidence, / do not
wish to reflect either on Mr.. Sherman
or Mr.. Curtis said the snator.
DO you mean that as an exoneration
from you of Mr.. Sherman?' asked
Dennis Flynn, attorney for McMurray.
1T is merely to state that if the
names of these men were taken in vain
at one time they may have been at an
other" replied Mr.. Gore.
Another telegram from McMurray at
Washington was read. 1t ordered that
McMurray's agent among the Indians
send so kilograms urging congress to
approve the contracts, allowing a 3d.
DOC. 900 attorneys fee"
Two dozen Indians, many Of them
leaders of their tribes, stood ready TO
testify in the investigation today. So
far the Indians have taken the posi-
ton that they signed the contracts al
lowing the sale of. $30.000,000 worth of
land on a 10 per cent attorneys fees"
basis because they had become inn
patient with the government.
Senator Gore said he might call new
witnesses to testify relative to his
charges. 1t is believed here the COM
mendations to congress as a result OF
the investigation.
1.-THE time has come for the govern
ment to take hold of the Indian sit
uation and handle it with an arbitrary
hand regardless of attorneys, con-
stand between the Indians and the au-
thorities at Washington" said an Of
fetal today. when the government
gave the Indians allotments of land to
live upon in accordance with its
treaties it agreed to sell the surplus
land and give the proceeds to the In
dams that they might develop their
farms and build homes. It was not
contemplated that portions of the
money should be turned over to third
parties for performing merely per-
functory service. 1t would be absurd
for the government, even if 1t sold the
land to turn over to the Indians so
vast a sum as $50, 100000 without re-
strictions. The Indians probably VIII
he wards of the government for long
time to come and while the land will
be sold in accordance with treaty. pro-
visions will be made for elimination OF
third party interests. !"

obtained on either side?''
Decidedly not said Mr.. Lillis, en-

circulated it is without foundation.
