WASHINGTON, Nov. 24,-The annual re- ort of Secretary Ethan Allen Hitchcock f tho Interior department was made pub lic today. It endorses tho conclusions sub mitted by Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones regarding the present Indian educa tional system. The secretary says: The management of thc Indian service In the field and ln the schools, whllo sat isfactory under existing conditions. Is not deemed to bo the best for the welfare of tho. Indians and dlfforont methods will hereafter bo adopted. This policy, as hereinafter Indicated, contemplates requir ing tho working by Indian allottees able to do so of a fair portion of lands allotted them nnd tho contributing by their Indus- ry to their own Sliouort of all not nntlrnlr disqualified by actual disability, physical or otherwise; tho discontinuance of tho Issue of rations to those known and determined to bo ablo to support themselves and tho ex tension to tho latter of every posslblo aid for their well-being nnd encouragement; tha Inauguration of Industrial training In nil schools where not now established, so that such Indians of both scxea may be taught the trades or Industries adapted to their circumstances.-" Income of Indlnn Tribes, Tho Income of tho various Indian tribes from all sources during tho year aggregated $5,333,880, a falling oft of $260,052, mostly duo to tho oxplratlon of treaty obligations. In thc futuro full leasing privileges will be confined to those whoso disability or In abllty actually disqualifies them from working moro than a smalt part of their allotments, those conditions to bo clearly shown; all other allottees to be required to work at least forty ncres of their allotment. Tho Dawes rcommleslon to tho five civ ilized tribes in Indian territory reports that tho rolls of. membership of only one nation, tbo Semlnoles, so far havo been ap proved and their lands havo not yet been entirely allotted. ..Tho time cannot be fixed with certainty when tho onrollmont of tbo four remaining tribes will bo finished. A vast amount of labor Is yet to be per formed by tho commission In Investigating tho claims of nppllcants for enrollment and equalizing the valuo of the lands al ready classified, and Secretary Hitchcock recommends that tho commission be In creased by four members. Ho also favors a modification of tho law requiring distribu tion of lands on thc basis of equalized val uation and thnt a definite period bo fixed for the completion of all tho work pertain ing to tho allotment of lands among thc Indlnna in the territory. .iitlunnl Wnter Conacrvntlon, Tho report soya that tho act of June 3, IS87, known as tho timber and stone act.

Tha Introduction of practical forestry on the forct rcstrves'has now begun.

Systematic Investigation designed to mako them accessible and useful should be undertaken and each forest reserve and part theroof .should bo dealt with on Its own merits. Legislation to correct the abuses that have grown up in tho practice of lien selections of land Is urged. Wonl-ftrowInK Indniitry.

'Under these circumstances I havd adopted thq policy of permitting sheep to grazoln that portion of certain reserves where It Is shown, after careful examina tion, that Buoh grazing 1b ln no way In jurious to or preventive of the conservation of the water supply nnd that policy It Is my purpose to continue.

After extolling tho achievements nt Mnrtl General Garpla said General Palma had taken up tho work left by Marti and car ried on tho revolution. He referred to tho autonomists as "traitors, who would be tray the country to the Americans to morrow nnd who havo Insulted tho negroes In tholr manifesto. Ho declared there were no longer ungroes In Cuba, as all had been mado one by tbo revolution; that, blacks and whites could not be divided and that they must respect the Piatt amendment, as It was part of the constitution and could not be mado an Issue In tho campaign. Marau Delgado, a negro, said General Maso's manifesto was a trap to catch the negro vote and thnt General Palma was a man, above reproach, at whose hands thc negro had nothing to fear. Senor Capoto asserted that Senor Palma was sure to win, as he would be backed by the republican national, party, and that he would make an Ideal president. "General Moso's manifesto was not writ ten by him," observed Senor Capote. "It Is a raotl6y production of various people, somo of, whom accept tho Piatt law and some of whom do not accept It." Genoral Maso's political managers assert thai tholr candtdato mddo large gains last we'ek In Havana. La Liiclia has some out for hlin nnd to morrow Juan Gualberto Gomez will print tho first Issue of tho Independence in Gen eral Maao's Interests. Senor Palma's supporters, on the other hand, feel confident of victory, since tncy havo comploto control of the election ma chinery.
