| Holders Of tho Land.
/; Washington, May ~. - Mr.. Binger
Hermann, commissioner Of the general
land office, announced his decision in
the Chicago lake front case, reversing
the decision of Commissioner Lamo-
reaux and denying and rejecting the
application of Harvey M. Lafollette and
Matthias Bonner to locate Mckee scrip
on the lands. This allows the patent
rendered to Robert A. Kinzie in 1921 to
stand for the benefit Of the grantees.
/ The decision involves many millions
of dollars worth Of property along the
'shore front of Chicago, and IL the most
stubbornly contested case that has
been before the department for years.
It will be appealed immediately to the
secretary of the interior, which do
eision, however, in any event, will not
be final, as the case will be carried
through the courts, it already having
been begun in the: courts in Illinois.

Premier Canovas Says She Cannot Al
cent Intervention Rexarding Cuba

Premier Canovas Says She Cannot Ac-
cept Intervention Regarding Cuba.
Madrid, May 22.-Senor Moret y
Prendergast, former minister, asked
the government on behalf of the liberals
in the chamber of deputies to submit
all the papers relating to the rebellion
in Cuba and to the diplomatic relations
of Spain with the powers. Senior Can
ovas, the premier, replying, said the
government could only attach credit to
such information as was sent by Capt.
Gen. Weyler. He severely blamed the
American newspapers for disseminate
ing false news, and cited as case in
point recent statements attributed to
Consul General Lee. The premier said:
"spain's relations with: other powers
continue cordial, but the advice which the
Americans are offering to us as to Cuba
never accept any Intervention in a matter
which peculiarly concerns herself. :, The
documents which have been asked for
would only refer to this'advice. The'gov-
eminent he's accepted full responsibility
for everything which has been done by
Capt. Gen. Weyler."
- Senior Moret y Prendergast asked #
1t were true that the United States SEN
ate had recognized the belligerency Of
the Cuban insurgents. The premier re-
piled that the report to this effect WAS
not a surprise to him as it was a ques-
ton. of creating more difficulties for
President Mckinley in connection with
the tariff bill, but he said he believed
President Mckinley, like President
Cleveland, would decide for himself in
such a matter. 't 20 -
In the course of his reply to the i'm
terpellation of Senior Canovas, he said
that the exchanges of opinion between
Spain and the other Europeans powers
on the subject of Cuba had always been
unofficial. The powers had shown great
reserve in defining their views and this
attitude had led the government to be-
heve that they were unwilling to offer
any effective Intervention between
Spain and the United States. The,ex-
change of views had been friendly, but
Spain had refused the proffered media
ton. The guarded tone adopted by the
premier in reference to the belligerency
vote of the senate has made a profound
impression, but the general opinion in
the Hobbies is that President Mckinley
and Secretary Sherman will not allow
the senate to drive them into conflict
with Spain. s..->.. s..>.

At noon the levee in front of City Re-

The waters rushed into the house, al
most drowning the recorder and friend

had just moved his family out. His
pretty residence was washed away, to-

neighborhood.
Every wagon in Ell Paso is engaged

dred poor Mexican citizens who resided
on the river front have had their houses
washed away, and are camping out on
vacant lots. Many Of them did not have
an opportunity to save their bed cloth

from their crumbling adobe houses.
So far as can be learned no human lives
