HOMES LOST TO
MANY SETTLERS
Northern Pacific Wins
the Overlap Land
Case.
Acquires Title to 100000
Acres Along the Colum-
bia River.
Men Who Took Up Homestead
Claims on the Tract VIII Lose
Their All.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug 16-In the Fed
eral court this afternoon Judge Hanford
handed down decision which gives the
Northern Pacific Railway title to 200, 600
acres of land in Clarke and Cowlitz coun-
ties along the Columbia River. It also
gives the railway an opportunity to begin
proceedings for ousting several hundred
settlers who have gone upon the land in
the belief that it belonged to the Govern
ment and was subject TO homestead en-
try. These settlers must now leave or pay
the railroad Tor the land.
It's title having been called into oues-
ton, the railroad brought suit over year
ago 10 quiet title to the lands, and to-day's
decision is the result. Part of the lands
were sold in tracts by the railroad and a
large mber of its vendees were made
parties defendant, for the purpose of OBJ
tanning decree restraining them from
commencing actions TO recover the pur-
chase money paid to the company.
The controversy as to the title grewsout
of the act of Congress of Septem ber %.
1880. forfelt1ng that portion of land grant
coterminous with the line Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad between Portland and
Wailula, through the valley of the Column
bia River, which its charter OF 1864 au-
thorlzed the company to construct. AS
this line was not built the land was not
earned under this grant, but the company
claimed to have earned it under the grant
OF 1870, made to aid in building a line
from Portland 10 Puget Sound.
The settlers, represented by Portland
lawyers, claimed that as the company
failed 10 earn the lands py com pliance
with the original grant, the title has re-
verted to the United States bv force of the
forieitlng act of Septem ber, 1890. notwith-
standing the fact that the lands were
within the limits of the later grant for the
Portland-Tacomali line.
Guided by decisions of the Circuit Court
of Appeals, Judge Hanford finds that, as
the Northern Pacific Railroad never made
a adetinite location OF any line of road be-
tween Portland and Wallulu, the original
land grant never took effect as TO these
lands. Therefore the title passed to the
railroad by the subsequent grant and was
not q affected by the forfeiture act of 1890
The lands lie within forty miles of the
Northern Pacific's main line, and where
the two grants had both been earned
would have overlapped. The title of the
company and its vendees Is thus found to
be perfect.
The poor settlers who felt certain that
their homestead entries would ultimately
be accepted find themselves homeless.
Their tllngs in most instances, however.
are on land not yet sold by the railroad.
and IT is presumed that those who are able
made valuable Improvements.

SACKED BY

Insurgents Enter the
Town of Sagua La

Weyier Sends Out Forces to
Attack at the Scene Of
His Recent Defeat.
Sensation Caused by en- Official
Among Spanish Troops.

HAVANA, CUBA (via Key West, Fla }.
Aug. 16 Cuban General Alfredo Rego has
entered the important town of Sagua la
Grande, Santa Clara Province, with large
lnsurgent force. The only details known
as yet ars that the town was sacked by The
Cubans.
A large Spanish force left Havana two
days ago to join the other Spanish columns
operating near the capital. They have
orders from Weyler TO attack the insur-
gents now encamped near Tapaste, the
place where. as previously reported, the
Spaniards were utterly defeated last week,
their reverse compelling Weyler to return
hurriedly to Havana.
General Quiniin Banderas is reported to
be at Batabano. Havana Province, with a
strong force of Cubans. The insurgents
continue 10 be very active in Pinar del
Rio Province.
The Spanish official medical report cre-
ated sensation here by the statement
that If the present state of sickness among
soldiers continues it is probable that by
next winter there will not be over 10. 600
healthy men in the army in Cuba. The
report has caused considerable excite.
ment. Tie friends of Weyler are hopeful
thatin case the present political situation
continues in Spain the captain-generai
will remain in office.
The Spanish merchant, Emilio Diaz, ar.
rested by order OF Weyler upon charge
of fraud, asserts that be deposited 4OoO
at clearinghouse of Cestana, in Cen

recognition of this TACT is to be found in

CLOSE CALL FOR THE KAISER.
Terrible Disaster on foad Over
Which He Had Just
Passed.

BERLIN. GERMANY, Aug. 16.-An ex-
press train running between Berlin and
Hamburg was deralled last evening, four
persons being killed and twenty seriously
injured. The cause has not yet been
ascertained, but it is thought the rails
were tampered with or that the track was
undermined. The imperial train with
the Emperor and EN- press aboard passed
over the same tracks six hours previously
and it is sugges ed that criminal out
rage contemplating the destruction OF the
Kaiser's train was intended, but the nm
dermining did not produce the desired
effect at the time.
