Grover Flint of Cambridge, Mass., who served as flrst lieutenant in the Thirty-fifth volunteer infantry, tes tified that early in May, 1900, he had been a witness to the watercure as administered to the natives by the Mac abebe scouts and that this was done to get information as to the whereaibtouts of their guns. The guns were delivered.. The follow ing day somne netI of his own rIegimentll applied the cure, but their aot was without tile authority of their connuand ing omcleers. The Macah)eb, s at the time referraed ii' were not under command of a cnom missiloned oflirer, but under a sergeant of the United States army. Flint had been, he said, ia witness to at least 20' cases of watereure. He had never seen anyone die as a: re sult of the cure, but had son a hos pital corps working on a nativei wlio had been rendered Unconscious, It a lso had been reported to hilm that one lFill pino died from the effiects of the water cure.

The treatment, he said, never got to the point if great hrutality. Repliying to a qurstion by Senator Lodge, witness said he had been refused a commission in the regular army be cause his colonel had accused him of us ing intoxicating liquors to excess. The witness deplored the raising of this question, but Senator Beverldge said it had an Important bearing on the case. Flint denied that on any of the oc cansons when he had witnessed the watereure, he had been under the Inilu enc: oft liuor. An Old Punishment. A fer considerable questioning, the wiitness finally admitted that he ap proved of the watercure and, responding to a qluery by Henator BIeveridge, said that It was not an Amerltan invention, but Was asS oh its the "(Chronices of Newgate." Asked regardling Fitilpinos In guard houses, he said thIat they were treated exactly the same as American prisoners., The wi'tlness described tihe burning of small villages, tithe idea, he salm, being to drive the women to the wooids or to tihe towns and concentrate them.

SPECIAL INDIAN AGENT ARMSTRONG VISITS MONTANA RESERVATIONS (Ity Assoclated Press.) \Vashington, 1). C., April 2:.-In ao. ('ordancfe with a plrovi)Vls iin tile last Indian -.ppropria tion act authorizinlg the secretary of the interior to investigate and report upon the condition of indians upon reservations their degrte of civil ization, the atdvlsabhility or reducing the size of their reservations, the propriety of commuting thi r annuitles and to in vestigate and report upon the chatrnater of reservations, the aroa, used by the In dians and the areas need edl for their uSe, etc., Hon. Frank ('. Armstrong, a spee('ll agent of the Indian ofilce, was charged with the investigation. IIe visited 17 reservations and made an exhqustlve re port. Mr. Armstrong visited the Flat head and Fort Peek reservations in Montana and has this to say of the Flathead reservation: "This is a large and excellent reserva tion. The majority of people on this reservation are of mixed blood, the moat of whom are prosperous. They have good farms, comfortable homes, large number of cattle, and are as well fixt'd as any agricultural people in Monttana. The full-blood Indians on this reserva tlon are not so well off. They need irrigation and allotments, The land of this reservation should be surveyed, the land regularly allotted, sufficient reserve retained for common cattle range, and the surplus land disposed of, and that portion of the reservation opened. M~ost of these people reside on the east side of the Flathead river and south of the I'.athead lake. A few reside wrst of,the river, whilst the hand of Kalispell and Kootenal Indians occupy portions of the country also west of the river. T'he large cattle interests of lntermarrieos whites and French mi:xed bloods, to gether with the large land holdings of these same people, who amr all quits prosperous, is the influence which has so far prevented the full-blood element from coming to any agrsenent to allot i ad dispose of their surplus. In mioy pnioin thieise lands shouil,] ! surveVed m'il suhdividei and the full bloode, allot 1 d vnd be mad, to n1le'":tan'I 'xaitly Ih r'cason why the mixed b)loods desire (I continue natters as they are. As It now is that class of people are getting All the benefits of the reservation, whilst 5 the fulll bloods are getting very little ald doing less.I'" The reservaon contains 1,433,600 acres aml1I Is '.ated in Missoula and Flathead ',untles atnd has a pohIulatlon of 1,734 I'4 ople over half of whom are mixed ilmods and grades. There are 442 chlil drien of sehool age and only 203 of them are attending school--100 In the Catholic mission schools and 40 in the agency school, leaving 242 without school privl I,.g;e,. The mission schools could take care of 350 children, but cannot do so now because they have no appropriationn for ccntract. Tne agency school will rot nitommodate more than 40. Mr. Ar". strong recommends the erection of a good hoarding school which will accom mitoate 200 children. HSpeaking of the livestock interests on this reservation the agent says there are 25,000 head of cattle thereon besides large herds of ponies and horses. IReferring to the agent, Mr. W. H. Snead, Mr. Armstrong says he under stands the situation is active, much in iirested in the work, attends to it and should be supported and strengthened in his efforts. In no part of the state is there a 'better country for farming and stockgrowing on this rescrvation.and it is only a question of management and labor and the expenditure of some money for irrigating purposes to bring these Indians to comfortable self-sup lport and this can all be brought oabout In a few years by Mr. Smea4 if the recommnendations in the report are adopted, Fort Peok Reservation. This is a large reservation containing nearly 2,000,000 acres o4 land with less 'IPRSID[NT PALMA HE Is WAAXLY 3RE3IVED AT HOLGUIN IN CUBA. EXTENDED A GREAT OVATION. Everywhere Reeeived With Honor and Loud Acclaim of Joy - Crowds Gather at the Villages and Towns. (By Associated Press.) New York, April 22.-When President elect Palma arrived at Holguin, Cuba, the demonstration in his honor ex ceeded even the welcome at Gibrara, says a dispatch from Holguin. Before leaving the latter place, the president elect received a dispatch from Governor General Wood, extending to him his best .wishes. Orher dispatches to the number of 300 were received from all parts of the country. All along the route to Holguin General Palma was the recipient of one great ovation. Every farmer displayed a flag and every village had Its quota of citizens at the station to greet their first presi dent. Ills private car stoplped at Can timplorn, where General Palma spoke a few words and releved a present of a huge floral pliece. Just at the entrance of Holguin was lined up a troop of mounted Cuban vet erans, who fired the national salute from three or four guns. At the station there w-as an excited crowd of 6.000 men, wo men and children, each anxious to be the first to shake the general's hand. Mayor Rondan and Captain Watson, military commander, extended the offil cial welcome to the city. It was at liolguin, the birthplace of General 'alilxto Garcia, that General Panlmn 25 years ago was confined in prIison by the Spaniards. than 2.000 Indians. There is but little Irr'lg;ation, and not much farming done there. 'i'hese Indians have some cattle, antid t is an excellent grazing country. They have every opportunity given them to secure work along the Great Northern railroad, which runs entirely across the front of their reservation and bordering along the Missouri river, from the mouth of White River to about 80 miles east. These Indians are not inclined to work, however, but prefer to lay around their tepees and draw government rations. Manly of them have good herds of cattle, and r·ath year sell some steers. Those who take care of their cattle make a anhecrss of it. Their reservation is too larg,, and a portion of it, at least 1.010.t000 acres, could be disposed of, which would give them money to in ertase their cattle herds, to improve theit, Irrigation where it is possible to make it. and help them in improving their homns,. etc. They would then have sttlthlent land left to give every famil'y allttients along the Missouri river with morte than enough land retained for a ernmcnon range. These Indians, by a IProper agreeacment and arrangement, coull ih put in good shape to make their 'utult '( sulpport without a dollar's cost to th-, gRvernnlment by converting a large .I art of titls reservation into money and .tt- nt it as I have suggested. Rations I shoutl be stopped, and they should be forl.ced by necessity to come to reason able agreements and accept work when they ca;in get it. l There are two tribes on this reserva tito-- Sioux antd Assinnlbolne. The for t er ntdbeor 1,200 and the latter 600, total Spoputlatlin 1.800. The reservation con tains 1,776.000 acres of unsurveyed land. The Indiirns all receive rations semi I monthly. 'T'here are 404 children of t school agre and out of this num'ber 200 Si're attending the agency school at Fort Plork andi 27 are In the Mission school tat Wolf Point and 68 are in the outside governmtent schools. The school at Fort Pet'tk is one of the best conducted schools that the agent visited on his trip. The 1 first day of school the Indians volun tarily brought In 180 pupils. The agent says that the land of this reservation could be Irrligtted from the Missouri river and that the land would then be worth $10 icr acre. Mr. Airmstrong estimates that the grazing privilege on this reservation Is wtrth alout $75,000. WANT ADS. WANT AD. RATS.
