WILCOX TO BE SHOT.
A Son Of Spreckels Was One Of the
Arch h-COnspirOtOrs.

San Francisco, Feb. 8.--Further infor-
nation to-day from Honolulu says:
While the confession Of John G. Cum
mings, one of the rebels, seems to indi-
cate Rudolph Spreckes as the one who
furnished the arms to the revolutionists,
the government does not seem to have
strong proof of the fact. Among the ex-
queens papers which were seized by the
government were found memoranda in
which she says Spreckels advised the use
of arms, but that she was doubtful about
adopting such desperate measures. And
among her notes were also the appoint
ments by her of commission to 60 to
Washington and see President Cleveland.
She says one of the ommissioners, Sam
Parker, tried to sell his secret to W. G.
Irwin. J. 0. Carter, the ex-queen's coun.
sellor, advised arbitration, and when
young Spreckels advised force she
thought the arbitration plan would please
President Cleveland better.
Regarding the purchase of arms it is
the impression that young Spreckels did
not purchase the arms himself, but
simply advanced money to the queen's
account and that arms were purchased
by some one else.
It is known that the court-martial has
passed the death sentence on some OF the
rebels, presumably Wilcox, Bartleman
Nowlein, Gulich, Walker, Davies, Rickard
and sentences of life Imprisonment to
many others. These decisions have been
handed to President Dole for final judg.
ment, and he will decide whether they
shall be carried out. 1t is certain that
nothing will be done hastily or in a
spirit of revenge.

On to white Oaks.

Information from private source re-
ceived through letter to a gentleman
here is to the effect that the money is up
for extension of the Pecos Valley railroad
from Roswell to this place, and that work
will begin on 1t at an early date. The
word is that Mess-s. Hagerman and Otis
have furnished the money themselves and
will make this extension before that to
Washburne is built. The information
comes from party not directly interest
ed in the road, but it is considered to be
reliable. 1t may be noted as a pointer
in the same direction that J. P. Hughes, a
heavy contractor from Texas, who has
been doing large amount of work for
the Pecos Valley people, has been over
the proposed line this week sizing it up
with view to bidding on the construc-
tion work. With this line and the Rock
Island from Liberal to Ell Paso intersect-
ing here, White Oaks would become the
principal railroad center of the territory.

THE IITF t T>T.
Delegate Joseph Worke, at the
Request Of San Juan c. .lty
Citizens.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, U. s.
Washington, D. G., Feb. 4, 1895.


Washington, D. G., Feb. 4, 1895.
To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Dear Sir:-As l read in a recent issue
of your enterprising paper an editorial
in which you state that the Ute bill was
not defeated because New Mexico has
only delegate in congress, I desire to
correct that statement. Although it is
true that delegate in congress has not
the influence he ought to have, yet could
have defeated the passage of said bill
had it not been that prominent citizens
of San Juan county and vicinity wrote
me requesting me to help the bill along,
as the land cut off from San Juan county
is unsettled and worthless, and the re-
moval of the Utes and the opening of
their reservation would meet with the
approval of the people of that section of
the territory.
Among the gentlemen who wrote me to
that effect can mention such prominent
citizens as Messrs. Frank G. Prewitt and
J. A. Laughren, of Pennington, and G. F.
Jones, Ed M. Gibson, John Il. Kuntz and
J. W. Berry, of Aztec, N. NJ, besides
good many others whose names can not
remember now.
Hoping you will be kind enough to
make this explanation, so that the people
may understand my situation in the mat
ter, l have the honor to be
Very respectfully,
ANTONIO JOSEPH,
Delegate from New Mexico.

made every effort to bring this proceed
ing about in due time, but l failed be-
cause of obstacles which l could not
avoid. Despairing of getting the record
to Washington within the prescribed
period, determined either to arrange
the matter by stipulation or to abandon
the first appeal and start anew. pre-
ferred the first course. 1t seems, how
ever, that without notice to me, the case
was docketed in Washington by the
United States, as permitted by one of the
rules, and the first appeal dismissed upon
the erroneous presumption that the fail
ure to transmit the record was chargea-
BILE to the appellant.
81 am perfectly willing to reinstate the
appeal and promote speedy hearing,
but all that it is in my power to do, in
the absence of a stipulation by the at
torney general, is to sue out a new ap-
peal and issue citations. l apprehend
that at least year may be lost by the
action of the government, but l hope
may prove wrong in this opinion. The
effort for review is made, not only II
good faith, but with absolute confidence
of ultimate success, and shall do all ir
my power to facilitate conclusion O.

Late Literary News.

General Lord Wolseley makes most
important contribution to the literature
of the China-Japan war in an article
for the February Cosmopolitan. He dis
cusses the situation and does not mince
matters in saying what China must do to
this emergency. Two other noted foreign
authors contribute interesting articles to
this number. Rosita Mauri, the famous
Partisan dauseose, gives the history of
the ballet, and Emile Olivier tells the
story of the fall of Louis Philippe. From
every part of the world, drawings and
photographs have been obtained of the
instruments used to torture poor human
ity, and appear as illustrations for a
clever article, by Julian Hawthorne en-
titled, "Salvation via the Rack" Mrs.
Reginald de Koven, Anatole France, W..
Clark Russell, Albion Tourgee, and Will
lam Dean Howells are among the story
tellers for the February number of the
Cosmopolitan.

Another Effort for silver.

Washington, Feb. S.-The next move
of the western members, who desire the
government to take possession of the
bonds voted in aid of the Pacific rail-
roads for default in payment of their
obligations, will be to try and prevent
them from disposing of their granted
lands until their financial relations with
the government have been settled. Rep
resentative Camlnetti, of California, has
for this purpose bill which will be
passed upon by the public lands commit
tee at its next meeting.

BLAND's AMENDMENT.
Mr.. BANDS amendment to the Springer
currency scheme, which was so badly
showed under in the lower house yester
day. contained the following provisions:
All coin obligations of the government
shall be paid in gold or silver coins, and
such payments shall be made in such
coins as may be most advantageous to
the government. For the purpose of
providing the treasury with such coins
the duties on imports are to be paid one
half In gold and one-half in standard
silver coins. To redeem the treasury
notes issued under the Sherman act the
bullion purchased hereunder is to be
coined, not less than $10000,O00 every
month. The treasury notes redeemed are
to be paid into the treasury. The free
coinage act of 1887 is revived, and all
authority to issue bonds or to increase
the interest bearing debt is revoked. To
meet the deficiency accruing in the treas
ury and enable the secretary to set apart
coin to meet obligations of that charac-
ter the secretary is authorized to issue
treasury notes, which are to be receivable
for all demands of the United States ex-
cept duties on imports and other de-
mands.
BILL BY MR.. ALLEN.
Senator Allen has introduced bill re-
quiring that hereafter all the gold and
silver coin kept by the government for
the purpose of redeeming silver certifi-
Gates and treasury notes shall be kept in
the vaults of the treasury department
and at no other place, and that all re-
demption of these notes or certificates
shall be made at the treasury depart
ment and at no other place.

THIS rs THE RULE,


Knockout.
THIS rs THE RULE,
it being sub division, l, of rule 8, United
States supreme court:
"It shall be the duty of the plaintiff in
error or appellant to docket the case and
file the record thereof with tho clerk of
this court by or before the return day,
whether in vacation or in term time. But
for good cause shown, the Justice or
Judge who signed the citation, or any
justice of this court, may enlarge the
time, by or before its expiration, the
order of enlargement to be fled with the
clerk of this court. If the plaintiff in
error or appellant shall fail to comply
with this rule, the defendant in error or
appellee may have the cause docketed and
dismissed upon producing certificate,
whether in term time or vacation, from
the clerk Of the court wherein the judg-
ment or decree was rendered, stating the
case and certifying that such writ of error
or appeal has been duly sued out or al
lowed. And in no case shall the plaintiff
in error or appellant be entitled to docket
the case and file the record after the same
shall have been docketed and dismissed
under this rule, unless by order of the
court"
THE ONLY RECOURSE
of the grant claimants now is to file a
motion in the supreme court to set aside
the order of dismissal, and even if this
should be done, as Mr.. Knaebel threatens,
it will scarcely, considering oil the cir
cumstances, be successful.
Reynolds said: "The United States attor-
ney is in no wise responsible for failure
to file transcripts on the part of appel
lants. The rule is plain and the time
ample. In sending on to Washington the
certificate as to the condition of the rec
ord in the office of the court of private
land claims the United States attorney
feels that he has simply performed his
duty. He has no excuses to make, nor
apologies to offer,"-and this was followed
by little laugh that told the reporter
how confident the genial Reynolds was of
having won final victory in behalf of a
good cause.
THE OTHER SIDE.
| However, the NEW MEXICAN, always
fair, gives space to the following from
Joel Parker Whitney's attorney, Mr.. John
II. Knaebel:
"The probable effect of the formal dis
missal of the first appeal will be delay in
the final hearing Of the case. 1t was my
intention, after the adjournment of the
present term of the land court, to 60 to
Washington and make an attempt to Sc
cure hearing upon stipulation with the
attorney general for the fling of the
transcript, notwithstanding the lapse of
the sixty days prescribed by one of the
rules of the supreme court. 1t was quite
competent for the attorney general to
join in this plan of speeding hearing,
and even now the supreme court, on re-
assembling in March. may authorize
reinstatement of the old appeal, and save
us the delay incident to the serving of
citations.
"The law on the subject of appeals is
very plain. An aggrieved party has six
months in which to take his appeal. In
the present case, this period will not
terminate until the lst of April. In q
New Mexico case the appellant has sixty

A SECOND KNOCKOUT.
The COchiti Grant Appeal Dismissed
in the U. S. Supreme Court
Victory for the Miners.

Hid away in mass of more than two
notes appearing in the metropolitan
journals at the east of date the 5th in
stant, appears this significant para
graph:
"No. 900. Joel Parker Whitney ct al,
vs.. the United States; appeal
from the court of private land claims;
docketed and dismissed on motion of
Assistant Attorney General Conrad for
the appellee"
Innocent as this appears on its face
this little news item means very great
deal for Santa Feans in particular, and
the people of New Mexico in general. 1t
refers to
THE COoBITI GRANT
claim, which has SO long cast blight
over the titles of that wonderful mineral
region, thirty miles west of Santa Fe, and
has served to discourage miners and
shut out the investment of thousands, yea,
millions, of capital in developing the re-
sources of that most interesting region.
It's true significance is this: The grant
claimants, whom the United States court
of private land claims last fall decided
had no shadow of title to this marvelously
rich domain, have been again knocked
out, and the cause of the miner and pros
pector is trium phant. In word, the OBJ
structionists have
LOST THEIR LAST OPPORTUNITY.
They have halted on the road to talk
compromise, something that the real
friends of the camp have never consid-
cred for moment, and they have let
slip by the time in which they could law
fully, under the rules of practice, perfect
their appeal and get it up into the United
States supreme court. 1t is all very we'll
to seek excuses and attempt to lay the
blame for delay upon the shoulders of
some one in the clerks office-and Law
yer Knaebel does this-but such an
apology will scarcely smother the yells of
Joy that will break forth at Bland and
Allerton tomorrow when the miners
peruse this
ISSUE OF THE NEW MEXICAN.
Be it said to his credit, United States
District Attorney Reynolds has been the
staunch friend of the miners all through
this affair. He has always been Uncle
Sans most faithful servant, but in this
case he has felt that he had three-fold
duty to perform; he he'd the government's
interests to protect, New Mexico's pros
perity to advance and the cause of the
miners to advocate. That he has fear
iessly and honestly performed his duty is
shown by the hearty congratulations to-
day being showered upon him.
