Promised Land Opened On Indian Territory for Settlement
About 15 000 people gathered at the borders as Indian Territory open land for settlement on Tuesday. The rush began at noon with riders using horses and ponies to reach the tract of roughly 1 000 000 acres. Government patrols were sparse and poorly distributed, allowing many settlers to slip through early. A 1 500 Newry party and Guthrie women colonists led by armoured cowboys moved toward Hew Hinds, aiming to claim quarter sections. US marshals reported calm with little disturbance amid the chaotic scene.

The Porte distributed a circular to the powers detailing passage through the Dardanelles by ships of the Russian volunteer fleet.
