FIGHTING FOR MARIN LAND.
Forty Acres of Valuable Property Which
Has Been in Litigation for Sev-
entee1 Years.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Feb. 13.-The oele-
brated land case of Wormuth versus Gard
ner, involving the title to forty odd acres
of valuable land in Mill Valley, was taken
up yesterday in the Superior Court of
MarinCounty before JudgeF. M. Angellotti.
The litigation over the property is part of
the history ofthe county and extends over
a period of seventeen years. Both the
plaintiH and defendant are men of promi-
nence and considerable means and have
lived in the county since the years when
railroads had not yet been built IN Marin.
The property is situated on the county
road which runs into Mill Valley and
Bnthedale and adj joins the vast estate of
the Boyles and Lyfords.
In 1880 Jacob Gardner claimed the prop
erty, which he asserted he had purchased
from the Throckmorton estate, which
consisted OF all the property from Sausa-
Iito TO Bol1nas, including Mill Valley.
Wormuth, on the other hand, produced
a United States patent emitting him to
the full control of the land. Then the
matter went through the United States
Land Office and finally reached the In
terror Department, the decision being in
favor of Wormuth.
The dispute was then taken into the Su-
perlor Court and was twice given hear
ing. Yesterday it came up for the third
time in the Superior Court.
The disputed property in Mill Valley
has greatly increased in value and now
commands about $500 per acre.

Union officials) has been very silly. 1t is
the old trouble of distinguishing between
amateurism and profes ssionalism. Wales
has q veteran halfback. A. J. Gould, who
is admitted by most competent judges to
be the finest exponent of the game that
has ever been seen. He is veteran, and
will probably retire in a few years.
Welsh followers of football. having in
mind the ng-boomed subscription testi-
monial TO DR.. Grace, the cricketer, thought
they would ike to honor their own cham
pion. They raised 600, with which it
was intended TO buy for Gould the free
hold of the small country house in which
he lives.
Hereupon the international board
stepped in and declared that Gould, If he
accepted the testimonial, would become
professional Wales, of course, resented
the interference, and hence a deadlock
which has delayed the international
matches. Wales has already won the first
OF these with England. The great body
of amateur players has no sympathy with
this policy. and the ultimate result seems
likely to be a complete obliteration by
public opinion of all distinction between
the amateur and professional classes.

have been received here that party OF
rebels made an attack upon the Spanish
steamer Fausto at Media Luna, port
near Manzanillo, when Commander Pom,
on board the Spanish gunboat Cuba
Espanola, came up and opened fire on the
rebels, driving them way and compelling
them to leave their dead behind them.
The Cuba Espanola then retired, but as
the rebels came back after the gun boat
left and renewed their attack upon the
steamer, Commander Pom returned and
again opened fire upon them, this time
dispensing them with considerable loss.
Pom then proceeded to the San Juan
River, where he dispersed a party of rebels
and captured boat which they had used.
Commander Carderona, commander of
the Spanish gunboat Yumuri, has beaten
and dispersed party of rebels at Punta
Photo in the Puerto Principe prov vince,
which had made an attack upon the gun
boat.
Military Commander Madrugh defeated
a strong party of rebels at Condee ranch,
in the Havana province. The rebels lost
thirty killed and wounded and the troops
lost five killed and two missing. The
camp of the rebels was destroyed and a
large quantity of arms and ammunition
and a number of cattle, which the in
surgents left behind them, were captured
by the troops.
A fight has also taken place at Palisa
des Drilla, in the province OF Pinar del
Rio, in which three re bells were killed.

An Insane Student Created Dramatic
Scene in The French Chamber
of Deputies.

PARIS, FRANCE, Feb. 13.-A dramatic
scene occurred in the Chamber OF Depu-
ties this evening which for time caused
much excitement in that body. The pro-
ceedings Of the chamber were going along
in routine fashion when suddenly a young
man in the gallery, who had been watch
ing the deputies, sprang to his feet and
leaning forward shouted in loud VOICE,
Treason, treason; in 1900 Paris will be a
cemetery"
The members of the chamber present
were greatly surprised and demands were
made for the arrest of the man. When,
however, an attempt was made to take
him into custody he made desperate re-
sistance and it was only with the greatest
difficulty that he was arrested. 1t was
then learned that he was Pierre Tramoni,
president of the Students Association of
AK, and that he had suddenly gone in
sane. He was removed to the hospital,
where it is hoped that under proper treat
ment he will recover.

General Weyler Marches Through a
Province Applying the Torch
But Not Fighting.

HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. 13.-Jose Varela
Zeguira, prominent physician, has been
arrested here on the charge of conspiracy
against the Government. DR.. Zeguira's
brother Eduardo was transported to the
Chaffarine Islands some time ago.
Eight native Philippine officers have
been transferred from the army there for
service in Cuba.
About 300 families have arrived in the
city of Santa Clara from the country.
Their homes have been completely de-
stroyed by the Spanish troops, who are
burning or otherwise destroying every
thing of value in the province outside the
cities and towns. The condition of the
refugees is pitiable. Many of them were
not able to obtain lodgings in the city,
having no money to pay therefor. and
they have been compelled to camp in the
outskirts, where they have little or no
protection from the elements.
The rebels have apparently disappeared
from the province of Santa Clara, but it is
known that they are sheltered in the hills
where the Spanish troops cannot reach
them. All the columns accompanying
General Weyler are said to be seeking for
them, but can find no trail. As the troops
have maze no attempt to enter the hills
it is quite certain they will discover no in
surgents SO long as the latter remain en-
sconced in their hiding places.
General Weyler to-day continued his
march through the province. His forces
are divided into three columns, he him
self commanding the center one.
Captain Ochoa reports from Cienfuegos
that he has repulsed in that district an
attack made by about 200 rebels. He said,
it is reported, that the rebels were led by
various chiefs and that they were escort
ing the members of the rebel government.
This is not believed in Havana, as it is
not thought probable that such a small
number of insurgents would be entrusted
with the duty of escorting their govern
ment.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Feb. 49,
Undertaken Emigh of this city has found
gold mine in Smiths Canyon. For sew
eral months past two experienced miners
have been prospecting in that neighbor-
hood and supposed six weeks ago that
they had struck the main lode. After
their report went out Mr.. Emigh and
some friends began prospecting in the
canyon. Lately he sent specimens, the
results of their search, to Los Angeles to
be assayed. Yesterday he got the assay

HONOLULU. HAWAII. Feb. 7.-GeneraI
A. s. Hartwell proceeds to Washington
this morning per Doric. He is the agent
of the Pacific Cable or Scrymser Company
in dealing with the Hawaiian Government.
He denied that his present errand is con-
nected with cable matters, which he
believes will haye been finally dealt with
before he will arrive. He will work for an
nexation as opportunity may arise.
The Hawaiian Government is on the
alert for any action necessary to secure an
nexation. Officials are prepared promptly
to send forward to Washington a suitable
commission, whenever advised by Minister
Hatch of any such need. 1t is thought
probable, however, that Mr.. Hatch will be
able to avail himself of sufficient helm
from L. A. Thurston, and perhaps also
General HaItwell.

Many ymothers have been brought through

PANAMA, COLOMBIA, Feb. 13.-The
Panama Star and Herald says: Nicara-

labor market, and the system of selling
labor has resulted in reducing very large
numbers of men, women and children to
a state of slavery.
Men and women are endeavoring by
every possible way except an armed revo-
luton to escape from the sale of their
labor, authorized by the constitution of
Nicaragua and enforced as vigorously as
possible by military power, until the
money for goods advanced to them there
on and heavy fines for delinquency have
been paid in full by labor at low rates.

Strict Justice.

Two Arabs sat down to dinner; one
had five loaves, the other three. A
stranger passing by desired permission
to eat with them, which they agreed
to. The stranger dined, laid down
eight pieces of money, and departed.
The proprietor Of the five loaves took
up five pieces. and left three for the
other who objected and insisted on re-
ceiving half. The cause came before
Ali, who gave the following Judgment:
"Let the owner of the five caves have
seven pieces Of money, and the owner
of the three loaves, one; for, if we di-
vide the eight loaves by three, they
make twenty-four parts, Of which he
who laid down the five loaves had fif-
teen; whilst he who laid down three had
only nine. AS all Jared alike, and eight
shares was each mans proportion, the
stranger ate seven parts of the drst
mans property, and only one belonging
to the other; the money in justice must

and buried the body in such way that
stream of trickling water would help
in it's decomposition. But Capt. Weller
had friends; he was missed; search was
made and it was not long before the de-
tectives discovered the grave and identi-
fed the remains.
Meanwhile, news had been brought to
the Australian police that another man
| named Preston had gone into the noun
tains and never returned. Next the body
of this Preston was discovered. Then it
was found that another man had disap-
peared under the same circumstances as
those surrounding the vanishing of We'll
Ter. Then another and another, and still
another. The news of these disappear
ances ran from end to end of Australia,
and the whole police system of the coun-
try was brought to bear upon the case.
Finally it was found that a man named
Lee Weller had applied to the Sailors
Home at Newcastle for a berth on a ship
Seven days later this Lee Weller shipped
out of Newcastle before the mast on the
British tramp ship Swanhilda, bound for
San Francisco in coal. This was all the
detectives wanted to know. The man
calling himself Weller was Butler beyond
any doubt, suddenly grown suspicious and
resolved upon bolt. Buffers photograph
was identified at once by the Superintend-
ent of the Sailors Home as the supposed
Lee Weller. It was out of the question
to overhaul Butler now, but two Austria
liam detectives, McHattie and Conroy,
took passage on steamer for San Fran
cisco, where they arrived some three
weeks ago.
They outstripped Butler and waited for
him. At the same time another detec-
tive set out for London to obtain extradi-
ton papers. Upon obtaining these docu-
ments he crossed the ocean to New York
and Immediately departed for San Fran
cisco, where he joined the other detec-
tives.
The detectives, REINFORCED by others
until there were seven in all, took up
their quarters in room on Meiggs' wharf
at San Francisco to await the arrival of
the Swanhilda. The ship arrived Friday
and Butler, doubtless astounded to find
that he had been outstripped, was taken
into custody.
