Friday, July 28.
The interior department has decided
upon October IS next as the date of
sale of the lands in the noith half of
section IS, in the Cass lako tceorvc.
This sale wab determined upon as the
final bolutlon of the controversy over
the Intruders upon the Indiuu lands of
Cass lake.
A naval vessel Is to be sent immedi
ately to Santo Domingo. Secretary
Hay has made the request that Secre
tary Long take this action, and the
Machias, now at San Juan, Porto Itlco,
and only a day's run from San Domin
go, will proceed at once to that island.
This is a measure of precaution rather
than one of necessity at the. present
time, for Minister Powell has not suit
Rested any such action to the govern
ment. Still it is deemed well, in view
of the press reports indicating the dis
turbed condition of affairs.
Saturday, July SO.
Anna M. Mendenhall lias been trans

Nebraska, to assistant matron of the
Ft. Sill school, Oklahoma.
Italy will be paid an indemnity for
the lynching of three of the five Ital
ians at Tallulah, La. The state de
partment will lay down the principle
once for all that an alien docs not be
come n full fledged citi.en of the Unit
ed states until citizenship papers have
been formally issued to him. The de
y partment will pursue the regular legal
course for ascertaining the facts in
connection with the lynching and thero
will doubtless be considerable diplo
matic correspondence between the two
countries before the incident is closed.
While there has been no direct de
mand from Italy, the state department
officials appreciate that there is no es
cape from the payment of the indem
nity. The attorney general has rendered
opinions in three cases Involving ques
tions of franchises and concessions in
Porto Rico. In the case of Vincente
Tand Jose Usera, the attorney general
holds that they do not hold u complete
nnd lawful concession to build a tram
way from Ponce to Port Ponce, and
that the secretary of war has no right
to confirm such concession. The at
torney general holds adversely on the
application of Ramon Valdez y Cobian
for a concession in the right to use the
water power of the river Plata, In
Porto Rico. In the cases of Frederick
W. Weeks, for permission to const nut
n wharf or pier at Ponce, the attorney
general holds that to grant the peti
tion is beyond the power of the sccre-
inry of war.
Qanday, duly SO.

JThc condition that has existed in the
' ftvar deDartmcnt since the camrmlrn in
Porto Rico Is reviewed, showing that
General Miles, while the major gen
eral commanding the army, lias had
little or no voice in the management
of the affairs of the army, and it is
stated that with the Incoming secre
tary he hopes the present conditions
will change.
