DIES MONIES RIVER LAND CLAIMS

Result of IA Investigation Set on Foot by
the Interior Department.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-An immense
tract of valuable land in Iowa whose Dos
session has been in dispute for many
years is involved in report Secretary
Smith has received from Robert L. Bsr-
ner, the special commissioner appointed
to investigate the hundreds of conflicting
claims known as the Dies Moines river
land grant claims. A prior investigation
was made in 1892, but was renewed and
the work largely extended by the discov-
cry OF many filings in the Des Moines
land Office of which no record can be found
at the interior department.
There were 5a6 applications filed for tho
lands, and in the investigation q great
number OF witnesses were examined. All
the claims. which were considered sep
arately, are listed and the aggregate
amount OF those cases alone where indem-
nifty should be awarded nearly consumes
the present appropriation, out of which
all the claimants insisted they were enti-
tied to payment. Commissioner Berner
gave liberal construction to the act I'M
der which he was appointed.
In cases where the paramount title had
been purchased the commissioner uni
1ormiy accepted the price stated in the
contract OF sale or deed, unless it appeared
from the evidence that that sum was not
the true consideration. In some instances
the title had been purchased and after
ward the land conveyed to a third party.
The indemnity is awarded to him who
purchased it while held to the government
title. In cases where the claimant pur-
chased first the paramount title and after
ward, for some reason, purchased the title
OF the settler, indemnity is refused.
In all cases where the paramount title
has been purchased the report cites the
reasonable value Of such title now, If the
parties are still in possession, or at the
time of eviction. The commissioner re-
jects all claims for value of improvements
placed on lands taken from them; for the
amount paid for attorneys fees by claim
ants IN defense of government title in
suits brought by the grantees and assigns
under the act of 1916; for interest, and for
value of mineral deposits in lands covered
by their claims

ct. Louis, Jan. 22.-The national Re-
publican committees subcommittee on
convention, after two days session here,
has finally completed its business, signed
The contract with the Business Mems
League for the care Of the Republican
national convention to be held June 16
next, and adjourned sine die. Joseph
Manley, chairman of the subcommittee,
speaking for and in behalf of every men,
Der of the subcommittee, said that the
arrangements had been perfected for the
convention to the entire satisfaction Of
oil. The citizens of st. Louis are to bear
the entire expense attending the conven.
ton and the national committee is to bear
no portion of the expense or to have the
expenditure of any of the money neces-
sary to the carrying out of the convention
arrangements.
Had No Political Significance.
Every member of the national commit
tee is to bear all his own expenses in at
tending the convention. 1t was thought
wisest and best in order that there might
be no misunderstanding to have this
definitely settled. The citizens commit
tee, however, will fkovide rooms for the
meeting of the national committee for
transacting its official business in conncc-
ton with the convention. Manley said he
was also authorized to say for every men,
Der Of the committee that the selection of
the scrgcant-at-arms and his deputies had
no connection whatever with any presi-
dental candidate, and has no significance
regarding the presidential contest.
The Hall Entirely Satisfactory.
There has been no friction at any time
between the members of the citizens com.
mittce and the subcommittee, and it is
only just to these citizens of St. Louis
who have SO amply represented the spirit
of their city that this statement should be
most emphatically made. A thorough ex-
animation of the convention hall was made
in company with consulting architect,
and the St. Louis propositions were found
entirely satisfactory. When completed it
Is estimated that the hall will seat at least
1900 people and will have ample commit
tee and retiring rooms, with every facility
for the work of the press and the telegraph
companies.
Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Chosen.
In executive session the committee Sc.
lected Major w. z. Huxford, of Washing
ton, ID. c., as an assistant sergeant at
arms. As to the matter of tickets, it was
decided that visiting Republicans would
have to look to the delegates from their
respective districts for admission to the
convention. a resolution was adopted by
the subcommittee that 500 tickets to the
convention be given the G. A. r. council
of administration for distribution among
q. A. r. men. St. Louis is to have 5000
tickets.

(Dcm }, 1; Stone (Dem.). 1; A. L. Wilson
(Rep.), /; c. 4. Bate (Pop.), l. Hunter

who voted for Wilson. Populist Poor voted
for Bate, but is counted for Hunter in the
final ballot.
In the senate Blackburn received Is
votes against 10 for Hunter. The leaders

lection from Blackburn was unexpectedly
large. and it is disappointing. The Re-
publicans are out Of humor with Stage for

strained, and revolutionary tactics may
DC resorted to.

be found striving in my weak way to
work for the advancement of Ctah's in
terest in general" Cannon said nothing
about silver.

GARCIA IS safe IN CUBA T!
The Bermuda Expedition EludeS the
Spanish War Vessels.
MEN, ARMS AND AMMUNITION
Turned over to the Insurgents-The Vessel
Carried over Forty Tons of Rifles,
Revolvers, Machetes and Several
Machine Guns and Dynamite.

HAVANA, March 26-The insurgent ex-
pedition which left New York on board
the steamer Bermuda on March 10 has
landed on the shores of Cuba. 1t is posi-
lively known that the men, arms and am
munition on board the Bermuda were
safely put on shore and conveyed to the
headquarters of the Cubans despite the
vigilance of the Spanish guards General
Calixto Garcia was at the head of the
party, and Is now understood to be in the
insurgent camp.
Elbert Rappleye, the correspondent in
Cuba of New York newspaper, was ex
PEELED from the country yesterday by order
Of the Spanish authorities.
The insurgents have burned the village
of Santa Ana, including the church, and
they have destroyed by fire house at the
entrance of Cuevas Bella Mar, province of
Matanzas.
NEW YORK, March 26.-The news from
Havana that the filibustering steamer Ber-
muda has escaped the vigilance of the
Spaniards, and has succeeded in landing
an expedition on the island of Cuba, will
be received with great enthusiasm by the
patriots throughout the country.
The Bermuda carried over forty tons of
rifles, revolvers, machetes, and several
machine guns, which had been seized by
the United States marshal on Feb. "a,
when preparations were making for the
first expedition. She had also on board
200 900 cartridges and quantity of dyna-
mite The ammunition, provisions and
firearms were put on board the Bermuda
on the Friday previous to her departure.
On the day before she sailed the Bermuda
cleared for Vera Cruz
The fact that the Bermuda was about
to sail at the time was known to the Span
ish officers in this 5ity, and also to the
Spanish spies, but they were unable to de-
tain her She steamed out with ten pas
sengers, flying the British flag. All of her
passengers were Cubans. General Garcia
was not among the passengers on the Ber-
muda when she left this port. 1t is said
that he and other men, who had sailed on
the Hawkins, went to Atlantic City and
there Joined the ship. There were thirty
three all told in General Garcia's party.
Great credit is due to the commander of
the Bermuda for landing the Garcia expe-
dition in Cuba. He is IA Yankee skipper,
John O'Brien by name, fine navigator
and of an adventurous disposition. Cap
tain O'Brien is a little man. He weighs
about l45 pounds. He sympathizes with
the cause of Cuba, although not posing as
a patriot. He will probably, 1T is said, re-
ceive 5000 for landing the expedition
safely in Cuba
Just how Captain O'Brien eluded the
Spanish guards may not be known, even
when he returns 1t is probable that he
disguised the Bermuda in some way, and
then slipped quietly into one of the many
inlets about Cuba
The price at which the Bermuda was OBJ
tained is said to be S25, 900. The cost of the
expedition is fixed at about 100000
