THE CRUEL SPANIlRDS
They Torture Natives of the

CHINESE MANDARINs oUTDoNE

Instruments of Torment Used In the Span
Brought Forth to Extort Confessions
From Observation-Disclosures of Wealthy
Persons Confscated.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.-News from
Manila, brought by the steamer City of
Picking from Hong. Kong, show that the
Spaniards have resorted to torture of
natives and half-casteS of the Phillip
ines which surpass in cruelty that prac-
ticed by the Chinese Mandarins in the
cases of the most atrocious crimes. They
are also charged with confscating the
estates of wealthy half-castes and de-
porting the wretched victims to the
island of Fernandope, on the west coast
Of Africa, a place which has climate
which will quickly prove fatal to the
stranger.
These statements are not given m,the
strength of the reports of refugees.
James w. Davidson, well known cor
respondent, was recently commissioned
by the Hong Kong Press to go to Ma
nilla and cautioned to evade the press
censorship, and i'll several letters which
he smuggled through the lines he tells
of what he has seen and what he has
heard on good authority.
According to him, instruments of tor
ture used in the Spanish inquisition
three centuries ago have been kept in
the monastries of Manila and were
brought out recently to extort confess
sions from natives and Mestizo suspects
which have been arrested and have been
kept in Jail in Manila. subjected to hid
eous treatment.
Mr.. Davidson also intimates that the
leading powers of Christendom will be
called upon to interfere and put and end
to torture which will revive the worst
features Of the Spanish inquisition.

READY TO MAKE A REPORT.

The Venezuelan Commission VIII Subnis
Complete Statement If 1t Is Desired.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Justice Brew.
er, president of the Venezuelan com,
mission, called on Secretary Olney al
the state department. during the day
and later had a talk with Secretary La.
mont. The call on Mr.. Olney was fol
the purpose of going over the status
OF the Venezuelan question with view
OF determining what nature of report
the Venezuelan commission shall MAKE
to the president. The act creating the
body contemplates report to the presi,
dent in time for his report to congresi
when it reassembles next month.
A certain agreement for arbitration
raises the question as to whether the
report should go into the subject matter
of the dispute Mr.. Olney explained
the terms of the agreement and its bear
ing on the commission. Whether a re-
port should be made going into ths
merits of the controversy was not de-
cided, but was determined largely by
the manner in which the agreement was
received, is conclusive. Both the United
States and Great Britain have accepted
it. but the position Of Venezuela is yet
to be made known, Minister Andrade
and J. J. Storrow, one of the Venezue-
Ian counsel, being now at Caracas
awaiting final decision.
1t can be stated positively that the
commission are prepared to submit a
full report, including the subject mat
ter and a final ruling as between Great
Britain and Venezuela, if the president
and Mr.. Olney desire it. Some of the
more material facts of the case have
been put in final shape and are now in
the form of proof sheets, but if the arbi-
tration agreement is accepted as final on
all hands, then the report of the COM
mission may be merely formal, SO as to
come within the requirements Of the

A BIG RAILROAD WAR CLOUD.


The Seaboard Air Line Demands Certain
Concessions From tIan Southern.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The Star pub.
fishes sn interview with Vice President
st. John Of the Seaboard Air Line on
The question of the existing differences
between the Seaboard and the Southern
railway.
Tho Stars correspondent expresses
the opinion that a desperate traffic war is
impending between the two companies.
The price of peace, he infers from his
interview with Mr.. ST. John, is the
withdrawal Of the Southern's steamer
line between Baltimore and Norfolk.
aud the granting of the demand Of the
Seaboard, which has been pending for
several years, to allow the latter to run
its trains between New York and New
Orleans.
1.-THE Seaboard Air Line" said Mr.
st John, will demand from it's con-
neetions all Of the privileges accorded
TO any other railway company, and,
failing to receive them, will resort to
such means to enforce its demands as
may be deemed wise and just by the
directors of our company. II the South
ern Railway company wants to preserve
peace between itself and the Seaboard
Air Line, it knows exactly what to do. !"
To further question, Mr.. St John
said that the Seaboard Air Line an
nounced some months ago that it wanted
to run through passenger coaches from
New York to New Orleans. and that it
still wants that right He added:
81 do not look upon the concessions
that we have said we wanted in the
light Of favor I consider that the
Seaboard has the right to demand any
and evory accommodation that is ex-
tended by any and every line to either
the Southern or any other competitor of
the Seaboard."
AS to whether rate war was impend-
ing MIR. St. John said:
THAT depends entirely upon what the
Southern may do, if it does anything to
change the existing condition of affairs
AS / said before, they know what steps
it is necessary for them to take to re-.
store harmony"

CHICAGO LAKE FRONT CASE.
Ono Hundred and Sixty Acres of Valuable
Land In the Windy City Involved.

One Hundred and Sixty Acres of Valuable
Land In the Windy City Involved.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The hearing
In the Chicago lake front case, in
which 100 acres Of valuable land on the
Lake Michigan shore about the Chicago
river are at stake, has besA closed. Lit.
tie time is expected to elapse before
Commissioner Lamereaux will announce
his decision, but whatever that may be,
it is certain the matter will be litigated
in the courts.
Counsel for Cox and Streater contin-
ued their arguments at the opening.
The feature of the session was the argu-
ment of the applicants or Mckee scrip
locaters, Matthias Bonner and Harvey
M. Lafellette. They sought to show
that the Kinzie patent did not cover ac-
cretions and that they are the owners
of the land covered by their claims and
only the issuance of patent remains to
be done by the land office. From the
time of the government surveying in
1921, the land lying east of the survey
line has constantly increased by accre-
tons and now comprises over 100 acres.
All OF this, they claim, is vacant public
land of the United States and has been
determined by the recent official survey.
Reviewing the KinZie patent, they in.
sisted that neither Kinzie nor his
grantees obtained any right or title to
lands lying east of the original survey
line when Kinzie's entry was made. AS
that survey made the boundary lines.
it is claimed, they insisted Kinzie did
not take to the shore line. Counsel
made an exhaustive review Of the. va
rious summaries and of the history of
the Mckee scrip, certain certificates of
which they are seeking to locate
The lands lying outside the wall sur
vey line of 1921, they submitted, were
the property of the United States at the
time of the issuance of the Kinzie patent
and remained such property until taken

TO SUCCEED GENERAL RTvA.
Senior Matthias Romero May BE Made Mex
lean Ambassador to Spain.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga special to
The Herald from Washington says: The
possible immediate appointment of Sc
nor Matthias Romero, Mexican minister
in Washington, as minister of Mexico
to Spain and Portugal, owing to the
present aspect of the Cuban situation,
is being discussed here. Since the death
of General Palacio Riva, late minister
of Mexico to Spain and Portugal, dip
lomatio surmise has been busy as to his
successor.
Senior Romero is q diplomat whose in
telligence and capacity for adjusting
difficulties and dangerous complications
are unquestioned. and whose acquaint-
ance with international affairs covers q
period Of 80 years. The record of his
work embraces negotiations OF some of
the most important treaties ever drafted
in the history of his country. While
the diplomatic service Of Mexico is
doubtless well equipped with capable
men, it is believed by diplomats here
that the appointment of the present
min ster to the United States to Mexico
would be q wise move.
