New York dispatch dispatch: Since, tho
death of Mrs. A. T. Stownrt, speculation
Iibb been rife concerning tho disposition bIio
luwl mnde of tlio hugo property left her by
lior husband to vrliich sho had nddod r
largo amount by her frugality and Judge
3Iilon'a economical management. Tho re
port thnt tho mansion with ltd nrt treas
ures had been lelt to tho city as a publics
gallery was denied by nenr Iricnds ot tho
deceased, who say that such a disposition
of tho resilience and its cintonts, vulued nil
iold at $5,000,000, would bo entirely for
eign to tho conservative spirit of tho Stew
arts. Neither Alexander T. Stewart nor
his wifo believed in public benefactions.
Tho general opinion among tiioso who aro
in n position to know appears to bo that
the clinritablo benefactions all told will
amount to scarcely a one-hundredth part
ot tho entiro estate. They think that tho
marble houso will go to Hilton.
Charles J. Clinch, thesonof Mrs.Stownrt's
leod brother, cabled Judgo Hilton from
Paris yesterday that ho would lenvo for
America on tho first steamer. Mr. Clinch
and his sister. Mrs. Smith.aro Mrs. Stewart's
nenrest blood relatives. JIo lins always
lxsen a favorito of hers and dependent on
her bounty for his support. Mr. Clinch
has an only daughter and it is generally
buliovcd that a greater portion of tlio
estnto will go to him. Mis. I.awronco
Smith, wife of Judgo Lawrence Smith, of
Sinlthtown, L. I., was Mrs. Stewart's
nistcr-ln-lnw. Her six children will also
como in for a fair portion of tho estate
Tho MIhmcs Julia, Anna and Mary Clinch,
half flistcis ol Mrs. Stewart, will probably
receive something. Judgo Henry Hilton,
Col. Henry Hilton, jr., IiIh son, and his
(laughters, Mrs. John Hughes and Mrs.
Hornet) Russell, will undoubtedly bo ro
membered. Dr. J. C Minor, who bus
iittendcil Mrs. Stownrt for ten years and
daily for the last threo years is snid to bo
down for $100,000. William Smith, Mrs.
Jdack, tho housekeeper, Funny, tho maid,
and tlio other servants nro remembered for
greater or Jobs tiinounts.
Tho will in all probability will not bo
opened until Mr. flinch arrives from Paris.
Mrs. Stewart's diamonds am valued at
$750,000. Homo of thorn nro so largo and
valuablo that alio never ventured to wear

Ue.MaUes Ills Annual Ueportofthe Workef

The annual report ol Gen. Atkins, com
missioner ot Indian affairs has been sub
mitted to the secretary of the interior. At
Iho outsot tho commissioner refers to and
notes uninistnkablo evidence of tho pro
gress made tiy many Indian tribes during
tho Inst twclvo months.
"Tho excellent temper, subordination
nnd general tranquility which, with two ot
threo exceptions, has everywhere prevailed
among tho red men is ot itself a most
auspicious omen of progress," snys tho re
port. "Tho active Inquiry among ninny
ot tlio tribes for further knowledge of tho
art ot agriculture, tho growing desiro to
tnko lands in severalty, tho urgent demand
for agricultural implements witli modern
improvements, tho largely increased ncro-
ngo ot the Indians have put to tillago ex
cccding that of any preceding your, the tin
precedented increase in the number of In
dinn children who hnvo been enrolled in
schools theso and many other facts fully
establish tlio claim that during tlio Inst
year tho Indian raco hits taken a firmer
step and a grander strido in tlio grcnt
inarch inward civilization than ever before
In tho sarno length of time. Another year's
experience nnd practical trial of this
'humupitnrinii and peaco system' only
noils cumulative testimony to tlio super
iority of its methods of Indian civilization
over any other ever yet tried, nnd all this
progress hns nccn made without corrO'
bpotnling increase in expenditures."
Tho commissioner tlovotus considerable
spaco to the condition of thn'llve civilized
tribes nnd tlio inlluciico of their example
upon tho semi-civilized and savngo tribes.
Ho strongly recommends a division of the
lands in those nations in severalty, equally
among the population, so 1 hut members ol
these tribea who now stand mutely by anil
see members of their own raco occupy and
cultivate tlieir lands anil pocket tho pro
ceeds, may bo put in actual possession of
mat which oolongs to them. J his reform,
,ho advises our red brothers in tiioso terri
tories to hriiigahout themselves by passing
lust laws lor the division ol hinds In never
nlly, allowing to each member of tho tribe
ills own birthright. Ho ulso urges a change
in their present form of government, re
placing it with a regularly-organized terri
torial form of government, to bo ndmittcd
at some future time ns a statoiu tlio ti ill on.
Thero Is, ho snys, a rapidly growing senti
ment in favor of Hiieh a change, and tlio
sooner It becomes universal tlio bettor for
all concerned.
Commissioner Atkins presents a number
of fuels nnd suggestions in tho way of agu
in on t against throwing open Oklahoma,
surrounded us it is by Indians on three
sii!cst to white sottlemout. llo urges tho
passage of tlio general allotment bill, which
passed the senate at tho lust session and
was favorably reported in tho hc.uso, ns to
Indians' education. Ho urges a continu
ance of government support to all of the
different kinds of school now in operation.
The commissioner repeats his recommenda
tion of last year for an appropriation to
enable him to take a ronsus of the Indians,
believing that a new census would show a
decrease in Indians below tho number now
claimed throughout tho country, at least
at several of tlio agoiicles. and would ulti
mately result in great saving in tlioamnunt
ot rations now issued ut these ngeucies.
Farming by Indians, louses of lauds, In
dian police, court of Indian offenses and
Indian trade, sanitary condition of tlio In
dians and other questions affecting the
government of the Indians and relating to
their Interests are all tieated carefully and
exhaustively by the commissioner.

SLAVERY IN CUBA.
Tvto Hundred Thousand liondmcn
Freud by 11 Iloyal licerco.
Friends of humauity all over the world will
hear with Interest, witli pleasure, aud with
gratitude that the queen regent of Spain lias
slimed a decree freeing the slaves in Cuba
from tiie remainder of their term of ecrvitudc
The leform thus consummated by .1 graceful
and, let us add, womanly act of generosity
began more than fifteen years ago In tho law
of Feb. 10, lfcCO, which provided for the con
ditional liheiatum of certain classes of slaves
lu Cuba and tor the payment of recompeiike to
the owners of the men and women freed. In
lb"9 a bill was pai-sed by the coites for the
gradual nbolltion of Cuban slaverv. This law
at once liberated slaves from 5 m curs old nnd
upward. Slave from 50 to r3 were set free lu
1WD; from 4b to 50 in 18S'); from 40 to 45 In
1USI, and from 35 to 40 in lbSO. The inten
tion of the law was to set Iree tho3j from 10
to ii.) vears old in 1SS3, aud those under o0 in
1890. '
The recompensing of owners has gone on
from the first, hut since lsbO 11 sum of 10J.00O
piastre has been set nniiuallv apart in the
Cuban budget for defraying tho expenses ot
the emancipation, each 'owner receiving re
compense at the rate of 35J piastres per
slave.
That the abolition jKiliey has been modcratc
lv successful Is fairly indicated by the statis
tics of emancipation. In the-seven years be
tween 1S0 and 18T7 the number of i-laves in
Cuba was deeieaed by 1S0.00), hut the popu
lation showed a falling oil lu the same period
of 20.590. In December, 18T8, Cuba still had
227.902 negro slaves.
We may conclude, therefore, that Qneeu
Christina has bestowed upou upward of 200,
000 slaves the rights and privileges of free-)
men, and the net is none the less liiaguaul
mous because If has anticipated bv four years
the emancipation In 1890 contemplated liy t he
eortes itself. Spain lias long been the only
European state permitting the existence ot
-lavcry in its colonies: that, Impatient pf the

she has at last rid herself of the rei roach by
an act as noble us it was well timed otters ono

The IJiut and Hamilton Ilnt'l.
When Washington died, Hamilton saw that
there was little left for him in public life.
He had never takfiu. up tho Implements of
scaudul and intrigue to match his unscrupu
lous enemies, but lie determined that the rem
n.mt of the Federal party should not be
used by Aaron Uurr either to bo elected to the
Presidency or to become the Governor of tho
State of New York. As badly as Jefferson
hud pursued Hamilton, the latter believed
that be was only an excited and suspicious
man, and not necessarily a wicked one, and
the Presidency was the gift of Hamilton to
Jefferson. The lSurritcs first challcuged
Hamilton's sou and killed him 011 the dueling
ground. Next Uurr drew Hamilton Into a
duel and shot him. The occasion of till? duel
was merely a half responsible publication by
one Dr. Chas. D. Cooper. This writing con
tained Hamilton's real opinion of Uurr.
though uot what he had said ns to that
person, but Uurr demanded not merely that
lie deny the authority, but the opinion. In
loliit o'f fact Hamilton believed that Hurr was
u despicable character, and so he was, as all
ills subsequent life proved. U01I1 theso men
having been revolutionary otlieers, and the
public opinion at that tlme'sanctlonim,' duels,
Hamilton had to go to the fatal uruund.
Tho incidents of the duel, though often de
scribed, arc comparatively unimportant when
we see the majestic mass of Hamilton's work
and sen Ices. Hamilton ma ie ids will and ap
pointed tho grandfather of George Pendleton
and the fattier of Hamilton Fn-h two of his
executors. On Wednestlav morning, July 11,
lOi, the parties met at 7 o'clock, and Hamil
ton immediately fell with a fractured rib and
a ball thrnuih tho liver and the diaphragm,
nml spliuteretl it so far that the tinker t.utsido
of the vertcbr.o could feel the pieces of bono
move, hi great pain, and nttcudtd by tho
same clergyman to whom lie hnd brought a
letter froih tho West Indies thirty-two years
befoie, Hamilton took the sacrament aud died
thirty hours after tho duel. He rece.ved tlio
crcatct funeral ever held, up to that time, in
the United States. His oltl war hoise. tlrossed
In mourning, followed Ilia bier, and on ids
