connecting roads running from Cincin-
natl. Ohio. 10 Augusta, Ga. This litiga-
ton began through the complaint of a
seller OF buggies at Cincinnati to the
interstate commerce commission that
the rates to Augusta at the end Of the
Georgia railway. and to Social Circle,
which was a point on the Georgia rail-
way so miles below Atlanta. are such
as to unfairly discriminate against So
cial Circle The Texas Pacific and the
Atlantic & Western roads claimed in
their answer that the rate to Social Cir
Gle could only be made by the consent
Of the Georgia road on which it is To-
Gated. The Georgia company admitted
that the rates to Social Circle were the
rates to Atlanta, plus the rate from
Atlanta to Social Circle, and contendec
that they were not unreasonable, thu
rate to Atlanta being less than it should
be because of competition with lines
from that city to Baltimore.
In his opinion Justice Shiras stated
that the real question at issue was
whether the various railroad companies
engaged in the traffic from Cincinnati
to Augusta and Social Circle were so
engaged under a common control man
Gus carriage or shipment within the
meaning of the Interstate commerce act,
and the conclusion of the court, he said,
was that they were so engaged.
The Georgia Railway Company, one
Of the parties involved, had set up the
claim that as its road lay wholly with
in the state of Georgia, did not fall
within the scope of the act. The court
refused to accept this view, and Justice
Shiras added that when the company
entered into the carriage of foreign
freight by agreeing to receive the goods
by virtue of through bills Of lading it
thereby became part Of a continuous
line, and became amenable to the inter-
state commerce act.
Justice Shiras handed down the opin-
ion of the supreme court today i'm the
case of the Texas Pacific railway VS..
the interstate commission appealed
from the circuit court of appeals for the
Second circuit, known as the import
rate case. The opinion of the supreme
court reverses the opinion of the circuit
court, which held it was illegal to
charge less on imported goods than do
nestle articles. The effect of the opin-
Ion is to continue the alleged discrimi-
nation in the interest of foreign ship
pers.
The decision of the court below in
the case OF Russ VS. Telefender involving
title to ,16O320 acres of land in Eel Paso
county, Texas, was reversed by the SUI
preme court today and the case re-
manded for a new trial

A BIG CRISIS IN CUBA
TN Twenty-Five THOUSAND REBELS
IN PINAR DEL RIO PROVINCE.
Forty-Ffve Thousand i'm the Field to.
Stop the Advance of the
Cuban Forces.

Key West Fla, March 30 (sent from
Havana March % to avoid press censor
ship).-Twenty-five thousand rebels un-
der Maceo are swarming over the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio, destroying prop
erty, ripping up rails and tearing down
telegraph lines. FOrty-five thousand
Spanish soldiers are in the same terri
tory and more are coming. General Ma
Geo is in immediate command of the
center column of the rebels with about
5000 men, General Masso is in the south
ern part of Havana pr~yince with 5000
men, and General La Crete is lowering
about the outskirts of Havana with
about 5000 cavalry. The other 1000 men
are divided into small bands of pill
layers
The insurgents are well equipped and
have plenty of ammunition and are cap
able of giving the soldiers a warm re-
Ception. The activity noticeable about
the palace of General Weyler seems to
bear out the idea that a crisis is near at
hand.
