REYNOLDS TO PROSECUTE.
Another Chapter In the Peralta Grant
Fraud-A Curiosity from the
COasf.

Before the deputy clerk of the U. s
court OF private land claims, Hon. M. G
Reynolds yesterday afternoon qualified
for his new official duties under appoint
ment by Attorney General Harmon as
special counsel for the government tc
prosecute witnesses in the Peralta grant
case who may be indicted for perjury
Mr.. Reynolds will leave shortly for San
Francisco whore the U. s. grand jury ia
now investigating these cases. The
statement telegraphed from Washington
that Assistant Attorney General E. B.
Whitney had been designated to assist in
these prosecutions is not true. Mr.. Rey-
nolds and U. 8. Attorney Foote, of San
Francisco, will have exclusive charge in
the premises.
These prosecutions have created no
small furore out on the Pacific coast, and
the San Francisco Bulletin prints list
of the witnesses in the Peralta case as
follows:
Alfred E. Sherwood, of Sherwood VAL
ley, Mendocino county; John W. Snow
ball, merchant of Grafton, Yolo county;
Jose Jesus Tico, farmer, living at Ven
tura; his wife, Maria Jesus Peralta Vas
quez de Tico; Julio Peralta Vasquez,
farmer and stock raiser, of Santa Paula,
Ventura county; Miguel Lauro Peralta y
Vasquez, clerk in store at Tucson, A. r.,
and Joseph Craig, attorney at Woodland,
Yolo county.
AS indicating how ever ready some of
Reavis' hackers are at twisting the truth to
make the fraudulent grant claim appear
plausible the following extract is a Gu
riosity-it is from the San Francisco
Bulletin:
"The witnesses named as possible de-
PENDANTS assert that the whole proceeding
is for the purpose of discrediting the
claims of Reavis. DR.. w. E. Sherwood, a
brother of Alfred E. Sherwood, OF Sher-
wood Valley, Mendocino county, said to-
day that the proposed prosecution of wit
nesses was simply blackmail. The
men who had testified to the antecedents
of Mrs. Reavis we're reputable and honest,
and had given their testimony ia the
regular order of legal proceedings. His
brother had told only what he knew of
the woman and her forefathers. AT San
ia Fe, N. NJ said he, they accused such
men as I. B. Catron, one of the attorneys
for Mr.. Reavis, of conspiracy, but Mr..
Catron was released aud he was subse-
quently elected as president of the Bar
association of New Mexico.
"All the other persons charged down
there we're all released. Now they pro-
pose to arrest number of persons here,
and the result will be the same. This
movement is in the interests of the per-
sons who would be dispossessed if Reavis
would win. am confident that Reavis
has just claim, and have no fear of the
outcome.'
"In Reavis' behalf it may be said that
Roscoe Conkling and Robert lngersoll,
his former attorneys, declared his title
undoubtedly clear"

Denounced.

Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 16.-The Iowa
cal pitol building was grandly decorated to-
day in honor of the Inauguration of Gov.
Drake. The ceremony took place at
2:3O this afternoon in the presence OF
several thousand people.
MONROE DOCTRINE SUPPORTED.
Gov. Drake, in his inaugural address
said: "The stand taken by the president
in favor of the enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine has received the most un-
hesitating and cordial approval of the
patriotic people OF all political parties.
The immediate action taken by both
houses of congress sounded the keynote
of the true American policy. The time
has come when this question must be
settled and the principle contended for
acknowledged. We hope this will be
done peacefully; but, if it can not be
so done, Iowa is ready to acquiesce IN
the determination of the nation for the
defense of its integrity and the mainten-
ance of this vital principle, if necessary,
with force of arms"
TURKISH BUTCHERS DENouNcED.
Speaking on the Armenian question,
German Drake said: A so-called Chris
tiah organization, which will thus tolerate
the inhumane butohery of innocent Chris
tian people, is not worthy to be coupled
with that of American Christian civiliza-
tion. Such foul assault on Christianity
and such inhumane practices would be Of
short duration on this Western Hemis-
phere. No boundary lines would suffice to
stay the onward rush of American soldiers
for the protection of the innocent and tho
punishment of the guilty.

arrest for being one of the leaders in the
recent uprising in the Transvaal, as he
has always been strongly opposed to the
English schemes for securing control of
the country, and has often mentioned the
matter in letters written to friends in
this city.
aERMANY's STAND.
London.-Sir Frank Lascelles, English
ambassador at Berlin, has communicated
Substantially as follows to the foreign Of
fee in regard to Germany's position:
"The German government contends
that the suzerainty of Queen Victoria
over the Tranvaal became null and void
when the COD pvention of 1884 was signed.
They deny absolutely that they have any
intention of proclaiming protectorate
over the Transvaal, and affirm that their
interest in the pending question is due
to their desire to protect the great COM
mercial interest which they have in the
Transvaal, and to the fact that, in their
view, the security of these interests de-
pends absolutely on the maintenance of
the practical independence of the South
African republlc."
For these reasons the German govern
ment could not stand idly by while ansat-
tempt was being made to re-annex the
Transvaal by Great Britain.
