having just taken on board a military
expedition brought out to her from a
steam yacht which had left Atlantic
City on Friday afternoon. The yacht
is said to have arrived at the sea
shore resort two weeks ago under the
command of well known Cuban.
When she left she had twenty passen-
gers on board. They were armed with
revolvers and machetes. The vessel
met the Laurada coming up the coast
and the passengers were soon trans
ferred. 1t is further stated that the
yacht had subsequently been engaged

was seen on Sunday she had already
taken 10 armed men on board, some
of whom We're taken from small boats
before she left Delaware Bay. 1t is
also declared that she carries 1,500
tons of ammunition.
The Norwegian steamship Moringen,
which arrived today from Giabrara, re-
ports that the town of st. Lucia was
totally destroyed on the night of Aug

Captain General Weyler has issued
an order which will soon be put into
effect closing the port of Giabrara to

has been brought about by the large
consignments of arms and numbers of
Cubans being brought there by ships

no probability of the public knowing the
fact for a certainty, 50 far as Mr.. Cleve-

nothing to say, and this evening stated
that he had no information whatever to

ITALIAN LYNCHINGS.
Baron Fava is Anxious For Informa-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Aug. n.-Baron
Fava, the Italian ambassador, who is
suInmering at Bar Harbor, has tele-
gTapfed the state department in accor-
dance with cabled instructions from
his government, asking for official in
formation regarding the lynching of
the three alleged Italian subjects III
Louisiana, as reported in the news
papers. The state department has
promptly called on the governor of
Louisiana for a full report of the oc-
cuTence, in order to make a full re-
port to the ambassador If it can be
found that the Italians were natural
lied American citizens, the inquiry
will stop, as the Italian government
can no longer take any interest in the
affair; but if, as in the cases of similar
lynchings of Italians in Louisiana and
Colorado, the men are shown to be
aliens to the United States, an indem-
nifty will undoubtedly be demanded
and congress asked to appropriate for
that purpose, a. it did in former in
stances. Until the governor of Louisi-
ana makes his report no further action
by Italy can be expected.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 11.-Judge
Welborn of the United States circuit
court, handed down a decision here thiE
forenoon of great moment, invotv--s
some entirely new and original ques-
tons touching the right of Congress to
regulate the rates chargeable by the
railroads of the country in the conduct
of interstate commerce business. It is
probably the most important decision
ever rendered affecting the rights and
privileges Of railroad corporations in
this country.
THE AMOUNT INVOLVED
is as large as that of the income tax.
and the principles laid down by the
court are as important in New York
and Massachusetts, as in California.
The issues settled by this decision are
those arising between the government
of the United States and land grant
railroads. as to the rate of compensa-
ton that the roads should receive from
the government for the transportation
Of troops, mail and other effects. The
roads claimed they had a right to
charge the government the same rates
as individual shippers or travellers,
while Congress has frequently provided
that the compensation should not ex-
coed half the regular rate, the exact
figures to be fixed by the secretary Of
war Under these acts of Congress
ONLY HALF RATES HAVE BEEN
PAID
by the government, and the roads, de-
string to have the matter settled for all
time. brought a test case under the
court of claims act, the Atlantic & Pa
cif1c railroad being the plaintiff, to re-
cover full fare for the transportation Of
a trooper, one Philip Barrett, from Al
buquerque, N. NJ, to Prescott Junction,
Ariz, a distance of 42S miles. The regu-
lar fare for the trip is $3.50. The gov
eminent offered $13.23. The railroad re-
fused to accept that sum and brought
suit for the full amount The railroad
the Atlantic & Pacifc-was repre-
scented by Judge Terry, its chief attor-
ney, assisted by Mr.. Herrin of the
Southern Pacific. The decision of Judge
Welborn is very lengthy and enters
/ fully into the discussion of the subject
| IL - q COAALp4C NASIO4J LII III
ernment The
IMPORTANCE OF THIS DECISION
may be understood when it is stated
that the Atlantic & Pacific alone would
receive $75OOOO a year more for the
transportation of troops and that when
I the char=es for carrying the mails are
! added, the difference on this one road
I in favor of the government reaches ST.
/ 100000 annually. AS the land grant
/ roads include one half the mileage of
+ the railroads of the country, the amount
| involved aggregates from 900 to
! S5O,OOO,O 900 a year. Besides the Santa
/ Fe and Southern Pacific systems, there
/ are the Northern Pacific, the Texas and
Kansas roads, the Rock Island and the
numerous roads in Missouri, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and Nebraska
The decision, however, is not applica-
/ BILE to the land grants alone, but ap-
/ plies to all the railroads in the country,
and is not confined to government bust
ness, but involves the right of Congress
to fix compensation for all charges by
+ the railroads for interstate commerce. 4
The railway attorneys say the case
viii not be appealed.
