WHO OOT THE CASH?
NEW YOKK, Oct. 28.—Tho Herald publishes a half-page spocial from Johnstown, PuM giving what it claims to bo a correct history of the disposition of tho funds contributed for tho relief of tho flood sufferers, largo amounts of which tUo Herald correspondent claims were misappropriated.
Tho Herald charges that of tbo $5,000, 000 subscribed in cash for tho immediate relief of Buffering survivors, nearly 81,500,000 has been misappropriated in various ways. This money went in numerous directions. Tho Stato Government, it is said, appropriated $150,000 $250,000 went to reliove ordinary povorty in other parts of tho State $75,000 was uged to build bridges a year and a half after the disaster. Thousands were squandered among contractors, superintendents, ovorseera and elorks. After detailing tho manner in which other sums were misapplied, the Herald says:
The record is one replete with evidences of maladministration, political corruption, robbery and jobbery well calculated fo heap disgrace upon the Stato of Pennsylvania and discourage a similar demonstration of public generosity should an occasion for its display ever again occur."
NEW YOIIK, Oct. -8.—Under a Johnstown (Pa.) date tho Herald publishes another chapter of its expose of the manner in which thousands of dollars contributed for tho reliof of tho flood sufferers were diverted from tho proper channels. Among other things tho correspondent ^ays: '1 am enabled to show you, from official sources, that tho Johnstown flood sufferers were permitted to receive but 12,510,849 in all for&s of relief— money, bouses and provisions —out of tho general fund of fS,269,167. Tho amounts deducted tn this calculation for houses —$179,085—was gross swindle for the benefit Of contractors, while the amount expended for supplies—flit.0U0—was uncalled for and worse than wasted. The mostastoumltngstory brought out in this connection Is that of a discrepancy of upward of f«W,000 between the books
spanc tue C' commission and thoso of the board of Inquiry, the development of which the commission sought to suppress, but which the board made public. It appoars that the flrst relief given the people from this groat contribution was not paid them until nearly six weeks after the flood, whllo tho flual payments were delayed for fu)ly six months, the money meantime being fpeouiated on by favorite bankers or used to furnish profitable jobs for contractors. "July 19 the first of tho houses were allotted aqjong applicants approved of by a local committee on house distribution. A correspondent, describing these houses at the time, said of them: Thcso wore miserable light sieves cabled "Oklahomas," and the larger and better ones TTughes houses, which, though tar from comfortable, must furnish shelter to thousands through the coming winter.1 «rue Hughes houses, which were the favorites, were made of rough boards, unpalnted, without lath or plaster, no cellar, two stories
Of

Hsrner, a responsible citizen who owns and operates a plaulng-mill, told the following: "Mr. Hushes built a house (or one Dart Carney and chargod him ?V00-for it This was bofore any buildings hud been contraoted for. This Identical house was taken as a model for t]ie construction of I»J houses tor wliioh Mr. Hughes was given a contract, without competition, and tor which he was paid tSGO each out of the plethoric chnrity fund, or *T0 more than ho charged a private citizen for one. Thoso housos could ensily be built for H?8 or less." "For thoso houses the poor houseless people were charged tsao, an advance of $10 above the contractor's exorbitant price for thorn. Mr. Hughes reports that ho built 400 of them, which. It the above statements aro reliable, gave him a profit of at least fi!0,C00, and their salo furnished an additional prolit of t-1,000 to somebo'dy haudling the funds.

riTTsnunoii, Pa., Oct 28.—An article published simultaneously in a Pittsburgh papor and the Now York Herald charging corruption on tho part of tho Stato Itolief Commission in handling tho .Johnstown flpod funds has created a good deal of comment here. Mr. Bonbon MlUor, a mombor of the commission, said Monday: "Our accounts will bear inspection and we aro not afraid to havo the light turned on. Tho writer of tho article referred to speaks of ttio commission spending S.'.,000,000. Tho fact is we did not have that much monoy. Wo had exactly $2,012,340. Tho distribution of tho great fund cost loss than one-half of 1 por cent" Mr. .lames B. Scott, tho other Pittsburgh member of tho commission, said: "Tho entiro article is wrong.

The Administration Approvos of Minister Mizner lu the AfTitir.
Nnv YOIIK, Oct 28.—A Washington spocial to tUo Herald says: It is understood that Mr. Miznor, our Minister to Central Amorioa, lias received from Secretary Blaino assurances of tho approval of tho President of his conduct in tho Barrundia case, and has been fully justified in the course ho pursued.
According to tho announcement Minister Miznor is held not to have exceeded his duty. On tho contrary, he went further in the matter In tbo interest of General Barrundia and his family than ho was required to do. He secured a written guaranty from tho President of Guatemala and tho Ministor of Foreign Relations, mado to the Government of tho United States, that in no caso would tho lifo of General Barrundia be in danger. Minister Mizner so stated in his letter to Captain Pitts, which was road and translated to Barrundia. It appears also that Miznor did not order his surrender. Mo simply called the captain's attention to the instructions laid down by the Stato Department for tho information of commanders of merchant vessels in just such cases. Tho demand for General Barrundia was not based on political grounds, but entirely upon allegations of crime.
Minister MInter, in his explanation to the State Department, says he knew of an intonso personal foellng existing against Barrundia, growing out of his former conduct as Secretary of War, and, knowing also the tomper of the Guatemalans at the timo, ho doomed it but just that, if landed, he should have the protection of the Guatemalan Government against mob violence. Sueh guaranty was mado to the Government of tho United States and not to Ministor Mizner, in order that itmight not thereafter lm alleged that tho arrest of Barrundia, on a charge of malfeasanco in office, was merely a pretext to expose him to assassination. Theguaranty was also given on account of the Paoific Mail Steamship Company, to avoid all pretext of refusing to surrender persons on proper demand. It also appoars from the statement, that if the surrender had not been made tliu steamship would have been linblo to legal procedure, and tho company would then have had ground for asking tho intervention of our Government. General Barrundia's political acts did not enter into tho consideration of tho question. Captain
Pitt's conduct, it is understood, has aiso been approved by the steamship company. ...

WASHINGTON,
Oct. *JS.—Tho Indian
lluroau has rocoivod from Agont McLaughlin at tho Standing Uock Indian Agency a report upon tho prospective outbroak among the Sioux in conaoquenco of tho promised coming of tho now Messiah." Tho agent says:
I trust thut 1 may not be considered an alarmist, aud 1 do not whit to be understood AS considering tho present state of excltcment so alarming as to indicate any Immediate uprising or serious outbreak, but 1 do feel It my duty to report tho present 'craze' and fiaturo of the excitement exlnting among the 'Sitting Duir factions of Indians over the expected 'Indian lamentum,' the annihilation of the white man aud supremacy of I the Indians, which is looked for not later thao next aprlng. Some members of the Sioux irlbo who have b\t ly developed tuto 'medicine men' have promised them that the Great Spirit has promised them thai their punishment by the dominant race had been sufficient, and that thulr numbers having now beeome so decimated, they will be roinforced by all Indians who are dead that the dead are all returning to relnhubit the Jearth, which belongs to the Indiatib that they are driving back with them as tbey return immense hcrdb of buffalo and elegant wild horses to havo for the catchIpg that the Great Spirit promises them that tho white man will bo unable to mako guppowder in future and a'l attempts at such will bo a failure, and thut the gunpowder now op baud will be uselo as against Indluns, as it will not throw bullet with suJUcient force to pass through t)c skin of an Iudlau. The Great Spirit apologizes for having deserted the Indlaus for a lout* period, but he is now with them and n(? iin«i the whites, and will oover the earth over with thirty feet of additional soil, well souded and timbered, under which the whites w-U all be smothered, and any whites who nu:y eeape uk.s great phenomenon will become llshr.-. in the rivers of the country but in order to bi i. ut thin happy result

He has been a disturbing element slm^e his return from confinement as a military prisoner in the spring of 1888 but has been growing gradually worse the fast year, which is partly to be accounted for by the presence of a lady from Brooklyn, N.
