WASHINGTON, June 1o.--Ameri-

The cruiser Washington and the pat

out from Key West at O'Clock TINS
morning under sealed orders, sent
from Washington late last night, are
expected to make the run across the
straits of Florida to the Cuban capi-

of 125, including officers. They would

of course, In a Ease of dire emergency,
in which event the bluejackets of
both ships also would be available.
The gravity with which this gov
ernment regards the situation is in
dicated by the fact that Rear Admiral
Osterhaus, commander of the Atlantic
fleet, is aboard his flagship, the

Havana first hand. The remainder of
the third division Of the fleet remain
at Key West and can join the flag
ship in few hours.
The mine-planter San Francisco

will join the ships at Key West. The
first division of the Atlantic fleet,
the Massachusetts,. Utah, North Da-
kota, Florida and Delaware also leave
Annapolis today with midshipmen
aboard While their destination is
now Cape Cod, there is no assurance
that the navy department may not
order these ships to join those near
Cuba at any moment.
Speaker Farrerra, of the Cuban
House of Representatives, and one
of the first lieutenants of President
Gomez. will have a conference today
with Secretary Knox, at which the
situation will be thoroughly can
vassed. The speaker is non-communi-
cative about his mission. 1t has been
reported that his visit is in connec-
ton with loan for the Cuban gov
ernment's use in putting down the
insurrection. In government circles
here the developments on the island
and the Cuban speakers s conferences
with Secretary Knox and perhaps
with President Taft are being
watched with greatest interest. 1t
seems that events of this week prob
ably will decide if the military force
of 5000 men now waiting to move to
Cuba shall be ordered.
Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff declared today that II the
: trouble in Cuba became more acute
the army would make another move
for preparedness. Two of the big
army transports now at Newport

the fourth would remain where it is.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 9-If Jimmy
Thorpe, the Sac and Fox Indian from
Oklahoma, wants any money to spend,
he must first get the approval of Com
missioner Robert Valentine of Indian
affairs at Washington, for under the
federal laws Thorpe-the winner of
many medals in the Olympic games
is "an incompetent Indian when it
comes to managing his own affairs,
although he is a citizen with the right
to vote. AS ward of the government
however Thorpe is under restrictions.
He cannot sell his land allotment near
Stroud, Okla, cannot lease it without
the approval of the departments at
Washington, and he can not get the
lease money, nor any portion of it,
unless applicatior-fs IS first made to Val
entine and by him approved.
It is the fault of Jimmy Thorpe
for around the Sac and Fox agency
he is known only as Jimmy my-and
his brother tribesmen that he is still
an incompetent together with the
remainder of the allied tribe Several
years ago, during the last Roosevelt
administration, the proposition was
discussed aad later enacted into law
to give the Sacs and Foxes entire free
dom in the management of their finan-
cial affairs. The Indians as rule are
thoroughly capable. and they were SO
considered by the Washington officials,
but the Indians themselves asked that
their warddom be continued and that
they be not taken from under the
watchful eye of the government.
Eyes, Jimmy is an incompetent, SO
far as being permitted to manage his
own business affairs is concerned,
said Indian Agent Myers of the Sacs
and Foxes, who was here during the
past week. 1--WE lease his land for
him-a valuable quarter section. rich
in productive qualities and bank his
money after we have collected it from
the lessee, and Jimmy cannot get any
of it until we apply to the department
and get consent, There is no doubt,
perhaps, but that he viii be capable
enough when his term in school ex-
pires, and ii all probability his re-
strictions viii be removed some day
and he wsll De his own boss.

COURT DECISION
HELPS PIPE LINES
Uphold Right to Grant Risht-of-Way
Across Lands of Greek Indian
Minors.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 9.-Three pipe
line companies, operating in eastern
Oklahoma, benefit by a decision hand
ed down Thursday in the supreme
court commission by Judge Sharp in
the case of the Texas company versus
Henry, from Okmulgee county.
The opinion holds that pipe line
companies may be granted right-of-
way across the land of minor Creek
Indians under the provisions of an act
Of congress which gives the secretary
of the interior authority to grant such
permission. The provisions of the act
are upheld and the judgment of the
district court of Okmulgee county, in
which it was held that the act was in
valid, is reversed.
Three pipe line companies are in
terested in the suit in which thou
sands OF dollars worth Of properties
are at stake. In passing on the right
of congress TO enact ieglSlatloh dHect-
ing the Indian tribes. Judge Sharp
holds that the government in its posi-
ton of guardian for the Indians has
the right, through its congress, to
grant rights-of-way over the land Of
Indian cinors when the public vel
fare is concerned by providing for a
just compensation.
The marriage question entered into
two decisions handed down by the
commission. A marriage between first
cousins, both of whom are residents
of Oklahoma, although the ceremony
is performed in Kansas, is void in both
states, is the holding in the case Of
Emily F. Fearnow ct al. versus Lutte

jim THORP INCOMPETENT
IN EYES Of GOVERNMENT

Thorpe is a popular young fellow
among his tribesmen an dalso among
the agency employees, according to
Myers. He has always taken part in
athletic events in that section of the
state, especially in long distance run
ming, football and baseball, but not a
one of his tribesmen ever dreamed
that he would become such world
wide star. He has always played base
ball, hut it remained for him to de-
velop as football player after he
went to Carlisle
Jimmy Thorpe is in fact OF one OF
the first families of America, for his
ancestors were chiefs of the tribe, cen
turies ago, when the Sacs and Foxes
had their headquarters on the pres
ent site of Chicago, had the Great
Lakes for their undisputed waterways
and had the entire central portion of
the continent for their hunting
grounds. Through his mother, Thorpe
is said to be a kinsman of Black Hawk
the revolutionary chieftain of half
century ago.
Even at the present time the elder
warriors of the tribe relate of the
prophecy made by one of their chief
medicine men at Chicago in the year
1908, the same year the Ozaukees and
Mishouwaukees-t Sacs and Foxes
formed an offensive and defensive
alliance. The prophet said.
"You people will go to war with the
white people; you will be defeated
and removed beyond the great riser;
then YOU will be removed further and
finally you will be removed to the
southwest, where the rivers are red
when there is much rain; then, when
you are in the land of the red waters,
you will sell the last Of your land to
your destroyers, the white people,
That prophecy has been fulfilled lit
terally. From thousands Of Sacs and
Foxes, they have dwindled now to
about 900. The older ones always re-
member and recall the prophecy when
they cross the Cimarron.
