WASHINGTON, April 10. (Special Tele-

cral land ofllco today Issued an order that
patents for Omaha Indian lands In Thurston
county recently nllottcd by Colonel ltanklu
should be Issued as soon as possible In or-
dcr that tho wholo subject might bo closed
up. This action was brought ah-nit by the
vlslt of Senator Thuroton to the department
In behalf of the Indians, who desired to hold
thelr lands In severalty and who had c-
copted allotments In good faith, He nrgued
that tho consummation of this righteous net I
towards tho Omaha Indians, who wcro show- '
lng a decided advancement towards clvlll-
zatlou, would co far toward breaking down
tho barrier between tho whlto and the red
man; as the government had decided to Issue
pa onts to these amis It was tho bounden
du y of tho Interior department o actively
put the decision Into execution. It Is under-
stood that an effort will bo made to enjoin

In In Washington enrouto to his homo from

"When tho Flllplnco know that tho pres
ent administration will bo In power for thc
next four years thero will bo a great many
ready to lay down their arms and become
peaceful citizens onco more. A soldier, you
know, cannot talk much about ofllclal busi
ness, but I am not transgressing tho bounds
of propriety In saying that the trouble la not I
yet over. Thero will -be moro or Iras bother
with the natives ot tho Philippines until
after thu elections In thc United States.
Then, as I said, when It Is certain -that Pres
ident McKlnley will continue to bo the ruling
hand of this nation tho opposition to Amer
ican forces will cease. Natives ot thc Phil
ippines, aro an Intelligent class. They n re
nd what could bo called smart people. They
know enough, however, to make themselves
troublesome. I was In the Interior of tho
Island nearly all the tlmo I was In the Phil
ippines, so I had a chance to Judge them
pretty accurately. They aro a misguided
people, but will bo sharp enough -to know
when to quit. This tlmo will come when
they know that thero will bo no abandon
ment ot the campaign It they do not yield."
Representative. Shatroth of Colorado, when
tho bill -to scttlo tho claims ot the govern

up for consideration In tho houso today,
Offered au amendment to the meaaure pro
