LAND PURCHASE
San Diego Aroused Over
Griscom'S Actions.
Believed He Bought Land for Cable
Use-Survey Made from
&There.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 2S.-During the last
few days San Diego has been in a high
state of excitement over the purchase
by an Eastern syndicate of tract com
prising 135 acres known as Pueblo lot
l4o. The land was purchased of Sheriff
Jennings for $4,000. 1t was supposed by
some that the lot was wanted as a rail
road terminus for the Vanderbilt lines
another theory was that a club house
would be built upon the point; yet an
other rumor was that it was intended
to build thereon large steamship ware
house for the proposed line to Japan.
Still II could not be seen why steam
ship company railroad corporation
should buy a tract of land that sloped
gradually into the ocean, when less than
one mile distant is a safe anchorage IN
a landlocked harbor.
This afternoon it was learned on good
authority, that the land was purchased
in order to be used terminus of a
trans-Pacific cable line from San Diego
TO Yokohama via Honolulu. To such a
purpose the lot is admirably adapted
The matter of a direct cable has recent
~ been discussed before the House Com
mittee on Commerce, and it is believed
that the purchase is made in anticipation
of favorable action the Cable Bill.
The land was purchased by Edward B.
Rambo and c. A. Griscom, Jr., of New
York. Mr.. Griscom is vice president of
the American Navigation Company. Soon
after the purchase he sailed for Japan.
There are two companies which pro-
pose to lay cable line across the Pa
cific. One of these is the Pacific Gable
Company, the other is the Spalding com

that each caller who could get the

of the length of her stay in this coun-
try. Her Highness" was quite guarded
in all her answers. and took special care
that she did not give away state secrets
Whenever vital topics We're touched upon
she abruptly changed the conversation
by returning TO climatic conditions of
the country. One lady, the wife OF a dis
Congressman, asked if she
to again be enthroned. The ex-
Queen gave an evasive answer by say
ing, Being human, 1 have. of course

switched off into something less delicate. !
Secretary Palmer was asked if Mrs

invited to visit the eX-Queen. He re-
piled that he did not believe they had

Private Secretary Palmer called the
attention of the Queen today to a state

to be an outline of President McKiniey's
policy in regard to the annexation of

afternoon. With her came a retinue OF

The call was a short one, less than q
minutes being taken for the visit Her

stead saw Mrs. Cleveland. The visit was
at the request of Mrs. Cleveland, who,
on Friday last, sent note to the ex-
Queen, asking her to call at the Execu-
tive mansion, and set day and hour for
the visit. Her Majesty promptly an
swered the note, accepting the invita-
ton.
The call on Mrs. Cleveland was purely
an informal affair. The ex-Queen and
ner servants, three in number,-were ush-

each must signify assent that the cues

be with the restrictions that are now

that this is an inopportune time to take
such grave step.

Senate today the Alaskan boundary

Chamberlain thought that the cloud
which recently overshadowed the rela-

was an achievement worthy of the jul

looking toward the establishment OF an
arbitration tribunal, the
negotiations themselves could not fail to
have had their effect on the common
