PRACTICALLY KILLS THE CASE.
Stanford Estate Beats the United States in
Great Suit.

Stanford Estate Beats the United States in
Great Suit.
SAN FRANCISCO, July Judge Ross,
in the United States circuit court, has sus-
tanned the demurrer of Mrs. Leland STAN
ford in the suit commenced by the gen.
eral government against the estate Of the
late Senator Stanford for the recovery Of
moneys on account of Central Pacific
railroad debts The court sustained the
demurrer on the ground that the in.
dividual stockholders were not liable for
the debts OF the corporation, and while
the government was given time in which
to file an amended complaint it Is under
stood that this decision practically kills
the case.
The judge holds that the state can dc
nothing in the matter, because the law
holding stockholders liable individually
for the debt of n corporation was passed
after the Pacific railway people made
their contract with the government, and
the government has no claim because
that contract does not even hold the COR
poration, let alone its members, liable
from reimbursement to the government
for its bonds.
STANFo RID UNIVERSITY, Cal, July L.
There was great rejoicing at Stanford
university when the news was received
that Judge Ross had sustained the de-
murrer in the case of the government
against the Stanford estate. An adverse
decision in the case meant the ruin of the
university.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Segunda Alvarez,
the mayor Of Havana, who arrived in
New York, says the insurgent strike for
so-called liberty is an ebullition of an
archism. "The movement has no true or
we'll defined foundation" he adds "The
general opinion in Havana, at least, is
that If the United States had not openly
expressed friendliness toward the Cubans
the revolution would not have obtained
its present proportions. If the federal
authorities would only exert as much en-
terprise in preventing expeditions from
leaving the states as they exhibit in
catching smugglers who come to the
country with few pocketfuls of cigars
the cause of Cuba would not have
amounted to much, and Spains respect
for the United States would not be low
