SALE OF OYSTER BEDS.
Important Opinion by the Assistant
Attorney General.

Olympia. June ..-Speciaa.-In answer
10 an inquiry CT the commissioner of pub
Nc lands dIreoted TO Assistant Attorney
General Haigqat the following reply Ks
made:
''you inquire whether there is any au-
thority under chapters "a and % 10 sell
oyster beds located below the line of
ordinary low tide" After quoting see
ticns ]. 3. 4. s and Z. Mr.. Haight says:
.'It win be observed from these quota
tions tnat the only tracts authorized by
the language OF this act 10 be used are
tide lands and lands authorized TO be
used by the act of March 26. 1880. The
act or March 26. 1880. provides only for the
sale of tide lands, therefore the only
oyster lands that can be sold pursuant TO
chapter q are tide lands. Tide lands
have repeatedly been defined By the
courts 20 bs ordinarily covered and left
hare By the flow and ebb OF the tide.
tracts below the line Of ordinary high
tide are not tide lands The :racts, PRO-
vision for the sale or which is made by
chapter .. are indicated by the following
language; All persons having the quail
ficatfon provided by law TO ena Die them
TO purchase tide lands within his stare
and who. prior 10 March Is, 1890, In good
faith catered upon tide lands not in front
of any incorporated city or town nor
within two nuies thereof on either side
and planted ana cultivated thereon arti-
fetal oyster beds, nd who con -Inued 10
occupy and work the same continuously
In good faith 10 March y 1850 and ever
since said date, and are now IN posses
sion OF and working said oyster beds in
good faith, shall be permitted 10 pur-
chase the same for the purpose OF culti-
waiting oysters thereon II will be Oh
served that this statute provides only
for the sale of oyster beds that lie in
and on tide lands. Tide lands being the
area between ordinary high and low wa
ter mark the statute provides for the
sale OF no cultivated oyster beds below
the line OF low wafer mark
THIS confirms the opinion Of Land Com

duplication of the Union Pacific Branch
Roads Heard at st. Paul.
ST. PAUL, MINI, May 27-The appli-
cation of the Oregon Short Line and the
Utah Northern for separate receivership
and the payment of overdue interest on
coupons on prior liens came up to-day in
the United States court of this city. The
receivers of the Union Pacific road pre-
sented report of the amounts applicable
to pay the first mortgage interest of the
Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern
road in order that the road might be
turned over to receiver appointed under
the foreclosure of the second mortgage.
The forenoon was devoted to discussion
of the points of the printed reports made
by the receivers, no result being reached
This afternoon there was long argu-
ment over the situation. The receivers of
the Union Pacific said that the transfer of
the Oregon Short Line and the issuance of
certificates at So, running at per cent,
meant that the present interest of per
cent would be increased to 81 per cent,
and that the court would, under the cir
cumstances, make the order of transfer.
Judge Sanborn said he should make no
order with reference to the issuance of GER
tifcates not heretofore made by Judge Gil
bert of Oregon.

NEW YORK, Nay, May GA special
to the Herald from Santiago says:
The telegraph wires were cut between
this city, San Luis Songo and intermediate
points on the SabinelIa and Morotto Rail-
road, and it is feared that traffic will be
again suspended.
The rebel troops raided Ell Cristo. They
burned the commodious garrison building
in Moron and are within half league of
San Luis. 1t is thought an attack upon
the latter place is seriously contemplated.
San Luis is one of the terminal points of
the railroad. 1t is inhabited mostly by loyal
Spanish citizens. of whom a majority are
well-to-do.
fiutter OF excitement is noticeable
among the Spanish marines, caused by the
news that two new expeditions sailed for
Cuba, one from Florida and the other from
Honduras. The latter was fitted out in
New Orleans. 1t is said three Spanish war
ships hurried to sea with orders to inter-
cept both. Only the gunboat Condo de
Venadito whose boilers were strained re-
Gently in fruitless race after the Nor
strand, remains in port. She will go to
Havana soon for repairs.
A British subject, General Barnes, has
been arrested and locked up here as DO
itical suspect.

KILLED BY SPANIARDS.
Rumored Death of an american Corre
spondent in Cuba.

Rufnored Death of an american CorTe-
spondent in Cuba.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May ga special
to the World from Havana says:
An unconfirmed report comes from
Santiago that an American named Wood
bury, or Woodward, was killed by Span
iards in the fight at Boca Deserios, where
Jose Marti is said to have fallen. Wood
ward arrived on the Niagara, the direct
steamer from New York, the latter part of
April. He was very young, had bright.
honest face and confding manner. He
said he was from st. Louis, and after a
stay in New York he had come to see what
he could do in the rebellion. He was to
furnish letters to New York newspaper
and to serve the Western journals. He
was poorly equipped and seemed short of
money.
In addition to being wholly ignorant of
the Spanish language, Woodward had
vague ideas of the geography of the coun-
try and of the characteristics of the people.
Armed with letter to a well-known
Cuban, who was in active sympathy with
the revolution, Woodward announced his
intention of going to the interior. The
correspondents tried to dissuade him, but
he replied that he would make reputation
as correspondent or die in the attempt.
