MEXICAN BOUNDARY LINE
c Carefully Remarked According to Treaty
Agreement
The Work is Expected to Put an End to
the Constant Disputes Over
Territorial Rights

WASHINGTON, Nov, 2S-Colonel ].
w. Barlow, corps of engineers. United
States Army today submitted to Secre.
tary Olney the final report of the inter-
national boundary commission and the
announcement of the completion of the
work assigned it. The commission was
organized under a treaty between the
United States and Mexico for the pur-
pose of surveying and re-marking the
boundary between the two countries
west of the Rio Grande. The original
convention was concluded July 20, 1882,
and subsequently continued by later
convention to October II, 1896.
The report consists of nearly seven
hundred pages of printed matter, accom-
panied by maps and Photographic views.
In brief. it shows the complete marking
by series of stone and iron monu-
ments of the entire divisional line from
the Rio Grande to the Pacific ocean,
about 20 miles. The principal work
performed was in restoring the original
monuments wherever destroyed or
displaced, and erecting new ones whera
necessary. The line was formerly
marked by about fifty monuments. Re
marking became necessary to put an END
to constant disputes and controversies
over territorial rights.
In accordance with general instruc-
tions, the committee erected 25S monu-
ments In all, including al the old ones
that could be put in good condition. Most
of them are of cast iron, but the prin-
cipal ones are of stone. They average
about two and half miles between
them. Stone was used wherever pos
sible. Generally they are in the form
of simple tapering four-sided shaft,
bearing suitable inscriptions in English
and Spanish. The stone monuments are
about eleven feet high, and the iron
monuments about six and a half feet
high. They are arranged so that they
are within sight of one another from
one end to the other. Most of the coun-
try traversed consists of deserts and
mountains, and in many instances the
work was prosecuted with considera-
Bile difficulty. BY the terms of the treaty
the destruction or displacement of any
of these monuments is made a misde-
meanor, punishable according to the
justice of the country of the offenders $
nationality. The report just submitted
is signed by all the members of the COM
mittee and its conclusions are binding
upon the two governments concerned.

original list of claims. He explained
Triumph, and that the Pathfinder seiz-
that there were two schooners named
ures were so different in nature that
they were separately stated, and that as
the Alfred Adams had changed her
name, the second claim was put down
separately as the Lily, the schooner
then being owned by different owners.
He cited a case in the United States
Supreme Court Reporter to show that
where a treaty is open to either restric-
tive or liberal construction, it should be
construed literally. If the commits
sioners threw out the claim it was barred
forever.
Dickinson replied that the Paris tri-
bunal found certain seizures were made
by authority of the United States. The
committee is a sequel to the Paris tri-
bunal and as the Black Diamond claim
for the 1885 warning was not before the
Paris tribunal, therefore the present
commission could not go into the ques-
ton. He also moved in the Ada claim to
strike out portion of the claim, which
asks for $4,000 damages for the arrest of
Capt. James Gaudin. on the ground that
the finding of the Paris tribunal case
fully limits the claims for damages in
cases of seizures to the several arrests
entered in the British case, in which this
case is not included.
Boique, Q. c., answered shortly. stat
ing that the governing element of the
convention is that full compensation be

MALESPINA IS FREE.
The State Prison Directors Had
Doubts of His Guilt.

Steve Malespina, whose life sentence
for murder was a short time ago COM
muted by Governor Budd to twenty
five years, and whose term expired on
Tuesday, came down yesterday from
Folsom on his way to his home in Sierra
County.
The State Board of Prison Directors
had recommended the pardon, having
investigated the testimony on which he
had been convicted, and found 1t was
circumstantial and weak, the connect
ing links being faulty and defective. and
there appearing to be no reason why
Malespina should commit the crime, as
he and the murdered man were the best
of friends, and the only discriminating
circumstance being the fact that they
were together the night before MS
friend was found dead.
Malespina was a gardener, and was at
first put to work as a trusty in improv-
ing the Folsom Prison grounds, and did
the work that makes them attractive.
He served his own purpose while doing
so, however, for he sunk a large barrel
in the ground and skillfully covered 1t
with a lid of turf, and one day he was
found missing. A fellow convict, how
ever, melted by a promise Of having his
own term shortened, gave him away"
and he was recaptured and made to
work in the uuarrieS thereafter
