DISPUTED BOUNDARY
Maryland aud West Virginia Claim,
Forty Miles.

The survey of the boundary
line between Maryland and West
Virginia, under the direction of
the United States Court of APP
peals was completed Friday. The
survey has been made for the
purpose of settling the long
standing dispute over the posses
sion Of the territory lying along
the line between the two States.
One Of the engineers on behalf of
Maryland said that the State had
made out a strong case, and that
about 40 square miles included in
2 eston county, w. Va, will go
I'd Maryland. The engineers on
behalf of West Virginia will file
q counter claim, showing that
the result obtained in this survey
was brought about because the
survey was begun at the wrong
point.
The dispute over the line dates
back to the days before the war,
when what is now West Virginia
was q part of the Old Dominion.
The line which was established
by the survey of 1859 has been
considered the correct one,
though occasional disputes have
arisen, By the new survey West
Virginia loses strip about two
miles wide and running the en-
tire length of Preston county.
The old boundary intersected
Mason and Dixon's line near
Markleysburg. in Fayette county
but the new survey shifts this al
most two miles west. If the new
survey is permitted to stand
many West virginians will be
compelled totransfer their allegi.
ance to Maryland, and a lot of
trouble will ensue over the trans
fer of titles to land.

The New Order In cuba.
From n. Y. Tribune

l = $500 @Ns - SAADtaAS-
Weyler is condemned by
Blanco. That is the immediate
ly obvious import of the new
order issued by the new Captain.
General. The severity, not 10
say savsgery, of weyleS's rule
may be seen in the orders for
their abrogation. Agriculture is
to be permitted--that indicates
Weyler forbade it. No more des.
truction of dwellings and crops is
to be allowed-that means that
such destruction was practised
by Weyler. The people penned
up in the garrison towns are 70
be fed and cared for humanely
that confirms the report that
Weyler let them starve. Cover
nors do not take the trouble to
revoke orders that never existed,
nor to institute reforms where
there was no abuses. No strong.
er confirmation of the charges Of
cruelty against Weyler could be
desired than is furnished by the
conductor his successor In conn
mand.
What the practical effect Of
the new system will be upon the
war is an interesting question.
Marshal Campos waged his cam
paign humanely. and made no
Roadway against the rebels.
Weyler, with vastly greater re,
sources, waged campaign of un-
relenting cruelty and devastation
but there is no reason to think
he made any more progress to.
ward suppressing the revolt.
Now Marshal Blanco returns to
the first system with stronger
4 3
forces than Marshal Campos had.
What headway he mskes, ifanys
viii be regarded with uncommon
interest. His success would be
a complete vindicatlon Of Mar
shall Campos's policy. and an
equally complete condemnation Of
Weyler's. His failure would be
on the other hand, an emphatic
proof of the truth Of the Cuban
contention, that the island is un.
conquerable by Spain, either
through mild or harsh measures,
The policy adopted by Marshal
Blanco makes, however, several
immediate changes in the situa-
ton of no little importance. It
places the insurgents themselves
under obligations to observe the
rules of what is termed humane
warfare. If they had any excuse
for making savage reprisals
against Weyler they have none
to think they have in the past
committed some savage acts al.
most as bad as Weyler's. They
must do SO no more, unless they
want to ALLEVIATE the sympsthies
of the United States and of the
whole civilized world. Again.
the new policy must have material
effect upon the attitude of this
country toward war. While
Weyler was making it a CAM
paign of savage outrage and ex-
termination it was not unreason.
able to consider the necessity Of
intervention in the name of civil
lization and humanity. But now
that Spain readopts humane
methods of warfare she is entitl-
ed to a fair chance to re-establish
her authority.

PERRY BELMoNT's VIEWS.
Does Not Believe That Bimeta1Iism
Will BE Adopted.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Perry Bel
mont, who returned from Europe Sat
urday, in a carefully prepared inter-
view which he gave out for publication
to-day, has this to say on the money
question:
I'm regard to the present attitude of
Europe toward international bimetal-
lism there are advocates of it in
France, England and Germany as there
were year ago. but the advocacy has
not increased in volume or intensity.
Neither France nor Germany will unite
with US in placing gold and silver on
parity, unless England leads the way.
The continued increase in gold pro-
duction, the surplus last year and this
year of British incomes over expendi
lures, the continued supremacy of Eng
land in commerce and of London as
an international money market have
the effect of persuading Parliament
that the present coinage, currency and
financial system is good, even though
there is distress in India Reduction
Of taxes with an enlargement of it's
basis there may be, if peace continues
but probably not a modification on
coinage or currency laws so long as
existing British Industrial prosperity
endures. There is every prospect of an
international conference to be held
within short time and probobly to as
semble in Paris.
European bimetallists believe that if
in the failure of intera tional bimetal-
liSm, We snail open our mintS to silver
at the ratio of is TO /, and subsequently
Europe opens hers on the ratio of 1511a2,
then all our gold will leave us, as it did
after 1884, and only token silver coins
would remain"

ALASKAN GOLD FEVER.
1t Takes Hold of New York and the
Craze Is Still Spreading.

NEW YORK, July 1S-This city has
been touched with the Alaskan gold
fever. The past twenty-four hours has
seen come to the front at least 1000
Argonauts who will be on the way to
the Clondyke region just as soon as ar
rangementS can be made for transpor-
tatiOn.
This city furnished more forty-niners
than any other State in the Union. 1t
would not be strange at all if this city
should within the next six months, as
Suming a confederation of the favora-
BILE reports, be more largely represent
ed in the boats for the Yukon than will
the entire Pacific Coast.
Some notion of how the craze is
spreading may be had from the fact
that within forty-eight hours an ad-
vertisement calling for those who de-
sired to join an expedition to Alaska
and who had from $500 to 81 900 to in
vest was answered by more than 1200
applicants.
The interest displayed is evidence
that the fever has reached town, and
an indica ton that one of the largest
colonies which will winter about the
gold bearing region will be composed
of New Workers.

godspeeds, mingled with cheers and
shouts. Every inch of her passenger
and cargo space was taken.
The Alki carries forty horses and l.
900 sheep for Dyea, where they will be
landed and driven across the summit
to the Yukon Valley. Stockmen say

AN UNGRATEFUL WRETCH.
Robbed the Lawyer Who Had Saw
ed Him From Extradition.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Leon Graves
and John P Ryan are in prison in this
city, held in default of $4,000 bail for
trial for assault and robbery of Robert
S. Clark, Brooklyn lawyer, commit
ted last Friday night. Graves, who is
u years of age. is said to belong to a
good family in Utah. He was recently
charged in connection with Barton of
Ogden, with stealing 5000 from the
Utah Loan and Trust Company. Graves
and Barton were arrested in this city,
but successfully resisted extradition,
because of a technicality raised by their
attorney, Robert S. Clark. After their
release Clark was retained to bring suit
in their behalf for damages for false
Imprisonment. Graves, it is said,
sought TO induce Clark to go to his
room ON Eighteenth street, in this city,
but Clark was wary. On the pretense
that Graves landlady had a piano for
sale that would be a bargain for Clark
