lean Governments [ have no reason
to suppose that International consid-
erations or pressure influenced the de-
cision of Canovas to resign. The Lib
eral party wishes TO maintain and i'm
prove the cordial relations with the
United States and hopes its colonial
policy would help to do so.
But neither the Liberal party nor
any Spanish party could tolerate any
question of infringing on the rights of
Spain or of employing the interference
of foreign powers in her relations with
her colonies. The Liberal party would
be as jealous as the Conservative par
ty in the defense of supremacy of Spain
in Cuba and Porto Rico
By order of the Queen, Marshal Cam
pos has returned from Catalonia. where
he had gone for a brief holiday. The
Queen wished to consult him regarding
the solution of the crisis. His opinion
and those of Marshals Lopez, Domin-
guez and Blanco are likely to have a
decisive influence All three make no
secret of their opinion that the recall of
Weyler is exDedient, both for the paci-
fication of Cuba and for international
considerations. 1t is a singular feature
of the present crisis that the Queens
chief concern has been to know the
opinion of all the statesmen consulted
on the ACCESSIBILITY of the recall of
Weyler, and whether change of policy
in Cuba and the granting of home rule
would be most likely to hasten the
termination of the war.
The whole drift of the interviews of
the Queen with Marshals Campos,
Blanco, Lopez and Dominguez and with
Seniors sPadazes and Sagasta shows
| that all are unanimous in considering
the formation of a new Government to
have well-defined, concrete plans for
carrying out Cuban home rule and for
endeavoring to strengthen the cordial
relations with the United States. and
all believe that the Indispensable pre-
liminary step to this is the appoint
ment of a new Government, with a
| GoVernOr-G General who would inspire
| foreign countries and the Spanish col
onies with confidence in the sincerity of
Spanish colonial policy. All the Cen
erals and statesmen when approaching
the Queen are much struck by her anx-
iety and earnestness in seeking a solu-
ton giving the most promise of a per-
| manent pacification of the colonies and
an honorable, friendly understanding
! With the United States

munerative Investments.
Thieves flake Two Unsuccessful At
tempts at Burglary at Oakland
Interesting Ruling rIade by a
Fresno Judge Relative to the Sale
of Valuable Property.

FORT DUCHESNE CUtah), June s.
Dispatches from Washington announc-
ing the selection of Captain William E.
Beck, Tenth Cavalry, as acting Indian
Agent of Uintah and Uncompahgre Ute
Indians, have to-day created more than
ordinary interest here, for the reason
that other army officers were available
candidates for the position to succeed
Colonel Handlet, recently retired, and
who has been acting agent since Major
Ilsly, Commandant of Fort Duchesne,
declined the appointment as acting In
dian Agent. The disposition of the
opening of the Uncompag hre Reserva-
ton lands, except the gilsonite as
phaltum lands, by Congress yesterday
has given renewed interest to intending
settlers, a large number of whom are
camped upon the reservoir edge await
ing an opportunity to acquire lands
under the United States land laws.
The near future promises to witness
a large influx of people, including cap
italists intent upon remunerative in
Vestments. Allotment of land in sew
crafty to the Indians in accordance
with the recent action of Congress will
undoubtedly begin at an early day af-
ter President Mckinley signs the bill
as passed by Congress. Expressions Of
hope that the next Congress will throw
the mineral lands open to early settle
ment are made Within the past month
many queries have been made by East
ern capitalists for reliable information
concerning opportunities for invest
ment in lands within the Uncompahgre
Reservation.
The arrival at Price City, on the Rio
Grande Western Railway, of persons
evidently bent upon acquiring lands
upon the reservation are numerous and
the near future will undoubtedly see
large influx of people here at Fort
Duchesne. 1t is evident that the selec-
ton of an army officer as acting Indian
Agent for the Indians is satisfactory
to them.

freight rates on the line from HanfOrd

While the schedule issued to-day gives
the tariff from all new switches along

the new rate from Hanford. 1t is s. 30,
whereas on the Southern Pacific it was
81 30 plus 10 cents for switching. The
new rate includes switching in the
schedules.
Traffic Manager Moss says: These

ments with carriers by water from

INTERESTING DECISION
Rendered by Superior Judge OF
Fresno County.

FRESNO, June "a number of years
ago property valued at S15. 900 was set
aside for the children of d. w Park
hurst, with Parkhurst and his wife as
trustees. The trust deed was so drawn
that While the trustees could not mort
gage the property, there was nothing to
prevent them from selling it. The prop
erty was located in and about Fowler.
AS the boom fiickered out Parkhurst
needed money and tried to borrow it
on the properly. The attorneys for the
bank said they could not mortgage it,
but could sell it to a third party, and
then accept joint notes. Parkhurst and
wife made the sale to a Mrs. Ashbury,
a member of their family, and then
made notes for $4,000, on which only
$4,000 was ever advanced by the Bank
of Southern California.
The oldest son recently came of age
and brought suit to set the deed of the
bank aside, charging that it was fraud
ulent and not made in good faith, and
the whole transaction was a matter Of
collision, and that the sale was not
real. Judge Risley also viewed the
matter SO, and set the sale aside this
