HARRITT & LAWRBNCB
Old P. O, Grocery,
Muskogee, I. T., Oct. 27. The in
itial step toward what may be the
ilnal termination of the vexed Indian
problem In Indian teirltory has just
been taken by Chief Isparcher In a
special message to the Creek council.
The plan advocated Is supposed to be
the result Of the recent conference of
the leaders of the Cherokee, Creek and
aeminoic tribes, and Chief Mays, of
the Cherokces, is known to favor the
plan. In his message Chief Isparcher
says:
"Our effort to treat with the United
States government has proven unsuc
cessful, and we can now have no hope
of continuing our government much
longer as we now do, by the terms of
any new treaty. The time has come,
in my opinion, when the citizens of
the fiye nations should get together
and agree upon the establishment of
a plan by which we may perpetuate
the principles of self-government,
"Should wc be attached to Okla
homa as a territory or state, tills right
of self-government will be taken from
us by the superior number of its vot
ing population. None of us want
such connection with Oklahoma,
yet otroog efforts are being made by
politicians for single statehood Includ
ing the live nations.
"But this can be averted by timely
and united effort of the five nations.
They arc yet the sovereigns of their
oil and politically free born, with the
right to shape for themselves a
government that will best suit them
for the protection of their lives and
property."
In conclusion the chief recommends
the holding of a convention of the
leading men of the Ave civilized tribes
to the end that the United States
government bo presented with defi
nite proposals looking to the estab
lishment of a "government by the In
dians and for the Indians of the live
civilized tribes."
Favors the Plan.
Muskooee, I. T., Cot. 27 Chief
Llpcrcecher, In a special message to
the Creek council, urges action look
ing to getting the five tribes together
and forming a government such as the
United States will accept. This, he
thinks, Is the only way the Indians
can preserve an independent govern
ment under their own management or
prevent the absorption of their terri
tory Into Oklahoma.
Not Apprehensive,
Denver, Oct. 27. Governor Adams
C1D
t
has rcclevcd the following from De
puty Sheriff Watson at IUtilc, Colo.:
"Game Warden Wilcox tried to nr
rcstsomc Utes on Snake river, five
miles from Lily Park. They resisted
and tired on the Wilcox party. No
whites were injured, but several In
dians were killed and wounded. Gen
eral Otis should order the Duchesno
troops out nt once to corral the In
dians and save further tro.ublc, as
there Is much alarm here.
The governursald tic did not appre
hend serious trouble, and would not
at present order out the state troops.
General Otis is Inclined to discredit
the report of the conflict in the ab
sence of a .'report from the ofilccr at
Fort Duchesne. The troops there
could soon reach the scene In trouble,
and that he would send them If ncc

"One of the prettiest scenes In The
Hoosler Doctor is presented at the
close of the iirst act," said Manager
Harrison. "It occurs in tills way:
The Doctor's patients are In the main
poor and needy, and one In particular
whom ho 13 attending Is positively
stricken and eventually dies, leaving
her little child to the Doctor's care.
The Doctor himself is exceedingly
poor and has three grown daughters of
his own to provide for and his mother-in-law,
yet he parries the little waif
in his arms to his lmpovished home,
and in answer to the Interrogations of
his shrewish mother-in-law as to his
intended disposition of the child, an

that ono touch of nature that makes

In-law Is the most demonstrative In
her efforts to succor and provide. The
scene Is simple, unstrained and natu

It Is but one of many of a like nature
that pervades Mr. Thomas' delightful
story of Indiana life."

Madrid, Oct. 27. Spain refuses to
furnish for publication the text of
her reply of the note of tho United
States presented by Minister Wood
ford last September on the subject of
the Cuban insurrection. Woodford
admits having received a reply, but
declines to discuss the matter beyond
baying tho Spanish reply will be
transmitted to Washington. From
other sources it was learned that of
ficials of tho United States legation
arc engaged in translating Spain's
answer, and It Is reported the min
ister will cable to Washington tho
full text.
Although Spain will not givo out
the text of her reply, It Is otllclally
announced the reply Is on the follow
ing lines:
It expresses regret at the fact that
the insurrection In Cuba, "receives
support from frequent American fili
bustering expeditions, and that other
wise the rebellion could not possibly
exist. It is hoped that by granting
autonomy to Cuba and withdrawing
American support that tho Insurrec
tion will shortly bo ended. It Is fur
ther otllclally announced that the
Spanish note Is marked throughout by
an energetic tone.
It Is not thought that tho text of
tho answer will be published here be
fore tho senato has hud an opportu
nity to deliberate unon It.thercforo it
is understood it may not.be published
in the United States until after tho
reassembling of congress, by which
time Spain expects more favorable
conditions in Cuba.
Finally, It Is announced, In official
circles, that Spain has determined to
take more concerted military action
against the Cuban Insurrectionists.
Trouble At Havana.
Havana, Oct. 27. Considerable
anxiety is expressed among American
residents of this city as to the out
come of the demonstration which the
volunteers are cxpcciea iu hiuko uu
Friday or Saturday next upon tho de
parture of Weyler for Spain. In spite
of order? from Spain and steps taken
by Spanish oftlclals there Is still ap
parently a determination on tho part
of tho volunteers, who In this matter
seem unwilling to bo controlled by
their otllcers, to make tho general's
departure an occasion for an antl
Amcrlcan demonstration. Should
this bo tho case, serious troublo Is
feared. Many Americana in tho olty
havo been hoard to express moro
strongly than ever the view that a
United States warship should bo pre
sent in tho harbor to protect Ameri
can life and property If necessary.

Dr. Davis of Yaqulna Ray has been
in town today seeing what interest
Salem had In harbor Improvements nt
Newport. lie found our business men
united and enthusiastic for the fur
ther development of tho Yaqulna Bay.
Petitions are being circulated all over
the valley nddresscd to tho Oregon
delegation In congress, composed of
Senator McBrldo and Congressmen
Tongue and Ellis. Tho Yaqulna Bay
country Is terribly alarmed as all tho
property Interests of Lincoln county
ate Involved, as well as the farming
and mernantllo lutercstsof Western
Oregon. Following Is the text of tho
petition setting forth tho facts of the
caso In clear and strong language:
TO Tim OKKdOX DELEGATION.
Wo tho undersigned .citizens of tho
State of Oregon respectfully call your
attention to tho matter of tho im
provement of Yaqulna Bay, for which
an appropriation of 825,000 was tuado
by tho last congress to apply towards
the completion of the original preject:
and tliolsamc'congress further author
ized a contlnuous.contractof 81,000,000
In addition for t'ic extension of tho
present Jetty system In accordance
with tho plans as recommended by
the special board of Engineers ap
pointed by tho president underact
of congress to cxanilno and report
upon tho need and feasibility of tho
project for securing deeper water on
bar at that place.
Although nearly eighteen months
have passed since tho act became u
law, not ono dollar has been expended
nor has a step been taken towards tho
letting of this contract; whllo othor-
and less .Important. polntajgrhero con
tracts wcro authorized In the b'iuiio
bill, tho contracts nrclctund the work
Is now In progress.
Now, In tho nnnual report of Chief
of Engineers it Is announced that tho
Secretary has not approved tho Ya
qulna project and thercforo no estim
ates aro submitted for tho coming
year.
Tho work of improvement so far has
cost a large sum of money, tho success
of tho work, and tho benefits accruing
havo Justified tho expenditure. Thcro
is need for deeper water that tho
transportation facilities may bo en
larged. A compotent board ol engin
eers havo reported that tho project Is
entirely feasible, and the bay worthy
of the Improvement. Congress has
authorized tho necessary outlay, and
notwithstanding nil this tho money
1 withheld and tho Improvement al
ready mado allowed to go to destruc
tion. This Is a matter of vital lmportanco
to the pcoplo of a largo portion of
Oregon and adjoining Btates. especi
ally tho producers and shippers, nnd
wo urge that you as our representatives
impress upon the Hon. Sccrctury of
War tho lmportanco of this harbor us
a natural out lot for a largo territory,
and Insist that ho comply with tho
law and order this contract at once.
BALEM INTERESTED.
This is not tho llrst tlmo the city of
Sulcm has come to the reKCUo'of tho
Bay country and no doubt a largo
petition will go In and the board of
trade of the city will tako action and
appoint a couimlttco to Inquire Into
tho matter. There ought to be tho
most perfect harmony in protecting
Western Oregon Interests. It looks
very much ua though the develop
ment managers of Oregon had put up
a Job on Yaqulna Bay, and tho causo
should bo discovered.
