DEL AMAR CASE At CARSON.
Sens attonaI Compile ation In the Inte,
esting Mining Suit.

Sens sationaI Complication In the Inter-
esting Mining Suit.
CARSON, New, May 13.-To-day the
plaintiffs in the Delamar case continued
to introduce evidence. GALAXY. ex-shift
boss of the DeIamar, swore that there was
no mineral in the Naiad Queen ground.
Patrick Bonner, the principal plaintiff,
took the stand and testified that the town
site was settled in May. 1894. When cross
examined by Judge Rivss he was asked if
he had not made affidavit and filed it in
the Land Office in which he swore that
the townsite was laid out in 1892 When
this question was asked the witness threw
up hls hand 10 the attorney and said:
There is some mistake here, Judge;
there is some mistake" He then added
that If he had made such an affidavit it
was a mistake his lawyer drew il up, and
he must have signed 1t without knowing
what the date was.
This admission caused quite sensation
in court, as the Land Office affidavit placed
the site In April, 1892. only antedating
the location of the mine by two weeks,
while the change to 1894, admitted by the
plaintiff made the mining location ante
date the towusite by two years. F. Swim
dler, for the defense, explained some maps
in a diagram. He will be on the stand to-
morrow to testify regarding the mineral
deposits.

BUCK CONG TO HONOLULU
New Minister to Japan WU M1ka Pass
ing Investigation for Use at
r,

f(kiO.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 13.-The
Star, an annexation paper, says: That
the administration is keeping watchful
eye on the situation in Hawaii was ascer-
tanned beyond doubt in the informa-
ton received by a Star reporter to-day
that Colonel E. A. Buck, the new Min
lister to Japan, will stop at Honolulu on
the way to his post.
Minister Bucks intentions have been to
leave San Francisco June 5. He has now
decided TO leave San Francisco on the
29th Of this month. He will spend week
at Honolulu and will take the next pass
ing steamer for Japan. He will probably
leave San Francisco with Harold Sewall,
The new Minister to Hawaii. They will
be together week in Honolulu, and in
that time will be able t 20 jointly acquire q
great deal of valuable information as to
the exact situation of the influx OF Japa-
ne Sc into the islands.
OF course it is i'm possible to learn from
Colonel Buck or Mr.. Sewall the nature OF
their instructions. 1t Is known, however,
that the administration has been deiuged
with stories of the alleged attempts OF the
Japanese to colonize the islands and, III
time, start revolution to secure posses
sion of them. The dispatch OF the war
ship Philadelphia to Honolulu and re-
cent developments in other ways have
been sufficient to keep all eyes open.
The Japanese legation here has persist
emily denied that Japan has any designs
on the islands. The reports, however,
have evidently become SO conflicting to
President Mckinley that he has decided
TO ascertain for himself just what is going
on. He has given the instructions under
which Minister Buck will act. The knowl-
edge which Minister Buck will get in Hon
oIulu will be of benefit TO him when he
reaches Japan. He will be in position
to more readily understand the future
movements of the Japanese.
Another matter is that OF annexation,
Minister Sewall is supposed to favor annex
alton, and many people believe the plans
of the administration tend to ultimate
annexation. Ii this is the case, and Japan
being interested more than any other
country. it is a diplomatic movement to
have Minister Buck post himself as much
as possible on the situation in Hawaii and
Japan.

TO END THE WAR.
Merchants and Bankers Getting Up
Memorial for Presentation

Memorial for Presentation
to Congress.
NEW YORK, n. Y, May 13.-The me-
mortal which number OF merchants and
bankers of this city have been getting up,
asking the Government to put an end to
the war in Cuba and restore peace, will be
IRE esented TO Secretary Sherman within
the next ten days. The greatest secrecy
has been observed by those interested in
the memorial.
The firm which undertook the work OF
drawing up the memorial and getting sig
natures was Mosle Brothers, bankers of
16 Exchange place. Representatives of
the firm have been in conference some
time with a number of leading bankers
and merchants of the city who have inter
ests in Cuba, and the memorial was not
drafted until most of them had agreed to
sign.
In order to facilitate matters several
copies of the memorial were sent to Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, where signatures
were speedily obtained and returned to
this city. The original memorial is now
in the safe OF Mosie Brothers, and will re-
main there till forwarded TO Washington.
ANOlPA 1oFOhobSNI1 a AAOAAOS VI bAAo
firm, in refusing 10 allow copy of the
memorial to be published, said to-day:
I'VE had resolved to keep the matter
secret until it is presented to Secretary
Sherman, and although the matter leaked
out we shall continue to refuse to give any
information to newspapers Everybod
who has been asked to sign has been re-
quested at the same time to keep the mat
Ter secret. There are several hundred sig
natures now, and the memorial will be
presented to Sherman within the next ten
days"
From other sources it was learned the
memorial simply requests the Govern
ment, in the interest of humanity and
commerce, to take such steps as it can to
stop the war. The signers, in support of
their position, point out numerous facts
to show the destruction of property in
Cuba during the past two years, and con-
sequent destruction of trade between the
island and this country. Prior to 1895 our
imports from Cuba averaged SIS, 900. 600 a
year and our exports about SIS 900, 900. In
1895 our imports were reduced TO $50, ,000,-
900 and exports to 100000

STOCKTON. CAL, May 13 3-Borland' s
general merchandise store at French

the second successful burglary COM
mitted in the town recently. The store
room of the establishment was entered,
the door being opened by skeleton

and some provisions were stolen.
The matter was reported to the Sheriff 9

Carroll and Beach also went out, but none
of the officers were able to obtain any

place before the burglary. 1t is certain,
however, that whoever is doing the house
