WON'T REooaN1zx HIM.
Secretary Gresham has received dis
patch from Minister Thompson of Rio do
Janeiro that he had received circular
from Mello, the insurgent leader, asking
that the United States recognize his
rights as belligerent. Minister Thomp-
son has asked for instructions. After
conference between Secretary Gresham
and the president, our minister was in
structed to say Admiral Mello that in
the opinion of this government he had
not been able to establish either politi-
cal or military organization which enti-
tied him to recognition.
SINGULAR LAND CASE.
Assistant Land Commissioner Bowers
is considering an interesting land case
from Louisiana. About the beginning of
the war the United States granted patents
to citizens of Louisiana to the amount of
$4,000 acres. These patents were never
recorded. The governor of Louisiana
during the war granted to the same par
ties the same lands by state patents, as
suming that, as Louisiana had gone out
of the Union, it had taken the public
lands within its borders with it. The
state patents we're recorded, and at pres
ent are the only title by which the lands
are held. The lands have been assigned
and request is now made to the general
land Office for patents from the United
States in order that the title may be Sc
cure in the parties now owning the lands.
This is the first case of the kind that has
ever come before the land Office.
CUBAN REVOLUTION.
A special to the Pest from Keywest,
Fla, says private dispatches from Cuba
show that a revolution is under full head
way there. The government controls all
news channels and nothing is allowed to
GO out. An armed expedition leaves the
vicinity of Keywest to-day for Cuba.
BLouNr's REPORT.
The department of state made public
last night what purports to be the full
and impartialireport of Hon. J. H. Blount,
special commissioner to the Hawaiian
Islands. II states that tho queen was
deposed through force and fraud and
recommends that the government be
restored to the queen. Sec. Gresham
says: sour government was the first to
recognize the Independence Of the island
and should be the last to acquire sov-
reignty over them by force and fraud"
Later-The letter Of Secretary Gresham
practically advocating the restoration of
the Hawiian queen and giving his reasons
therefor, has created profound impress
sion here. The president this morning
declared in favor Of the proposition. The
New York Tribune to-day applauds
Gresham for the stand he has taken.
AN INDIAN ON SILVER.
N. H. Patuck, wealthy Parsee mer-
chant of Bombay, India, who is visiting
in this city, says: "The Indian govern
ment has made great mistake in sus-
pending the minting of silver for the
benefit of Englands Office holding class
and has caused great loss to Indian
merchants and manufacturers by disor-
ganizing trade transactions with silver
using counties. I think the government
will shortly be compelled to go back to
the free mintage of silver"
NATIONAL NOTES.
Secretary Hoke Smith has sent George
B. Cosby of Sacramento, CAL, as special
agent to examine and report on the con-
dition OF the Digger Indians, with view
to improving their condition.
There is $4,000 yet in the treasury to
be utilized in deporting unregistered
Chinese. All those who will register
within six months will be allowed to re-
main, all others will be summarily sent
home.
Ratifoations of the extradition treaty
between the United States and Sweden
and Norway have been exchanged by
Secretary Gresham and Minister Grip.
The provisions of the treaty, which have
been published, will 60 into effect thirty
days from the date of exchange.
In an interview yesterday Senator
Sherman said that the recent discussion
in congress over the purchase clause of
the so-called Sherman billl has nothing
to do with the result ,6f. the election.
That 1t was the mighty protest of the
thousands of idle workmen who have
been tn. own out of employment by the
threats of the Democrats to revise the
tariff law.
