There are four different grounds on
which European nations base their
claims to territory in Africa. One is
actual occupation: another Is treaty
with a native chief. conceding terri
tory. a third Is the claim that the oc-
cupatIon OF the mouth Of river gives
a right to the country which 1t water~;
. fourth is the ''hinterland" theory. by
which Is meant that a nation which oc-
cupies q strip Of territory on the coast
has q right to the country lying behind
It. OF these grounds Of claim. the first
IL least likely to be contested: but as
to the others. the same chief may give
concessions to two or three rival na-
tons; or the territory which Is claimed
by one because It II watered by river
the mouth Of which It controls may be
claimed by another because II Is In the
.shinterland" or territory which It pos-
sesses on the coast.

There are conflicting British and
French claims to certain territory IN
West Africa. and the presence OF armed
forces Of the contestants in the dis
puted region makes the situation seri-
Gus. The coveted territory lies behind
French Dahomey. which gives France
a claim to II on the hinterland theory;
but Its natural outlet is by the Niger,
the mouth OF which is in possession of
the British. Both powers base tnei-
claims also on treaties with native
chiefs; but as the same chiefs have con-
ceded the same territory to both and
possibly to the Germans as well. there
are difficult questions OF priority to be
settled. Negotiations have been openci
through commission at Paris to set
tie these claims, and an arrangement
recently effected for the adjustment OF
similar differences between France and
Germany gives hopes OF success.

Jacksonville. Fla. Jan. 24.--A special
to the Times Union and Citizen from
Key West says:
There has been much excitement In
this city during the last twen,y-fOur
hours. due to an alarming telegram
from Havana stating that the streets
had been flooded with mn anonymous
ultra Spanish circular calling upon all
nnti-American elements to mobOlixe
and raid the American colony. Captain
General Blanco. fearful that the rnbid
element OF the city might attempt such
violence, Inns placed an extra military
flee. Many OF the Americans Of the
city, who believe they are In real dam
ger, have prepared their affairs for any
emergency. This news Is what gave
rise to the rumor that General Lee had
been assassinatetl.
The feeling OF uneasIness felt here
because OF the proximity OF this city
has been much allayed. especially since
this morning at 10 o'clock, when Atl-
miral Sicard's feet OF battleships, con-
sisting Of the New York. Indiana, Mas-
sachusetts, Iowa aud Texas. arrived
on the bar. The Maine, Montgomery
and Detroit, and torpedo boats Cushing
and Dupont. left the harbor az N

pearance and one inspiring coniidence

POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSITS.
Move to use the Funds to build Good
Roads.

Washington. Jan. 2l--General Roy
Stone. special agent OF the Department
OF Agriculture In charge Of the good
foads" movement, says that the amend
ment proposed by Representative
Stone OF Pennsylvania TO the postal
savings bank bill will he the chief
topic for discussion ut the next meet
ing OF the national league for good
roads. and that the League OF Amcri-
can Wheelncn also proposes to make
an energetic crusade In favor of It's
adoption. This amendment proposes
that the deposits In postal savings
banks shall he Invested In county
bonds issued for meeting the expenses
OF highway improvements and guaran-
tecd by the government. General Stone
says he II receiving letters from all
parts OF the country and from many
organizations expressing their approx
nj of this proposition not only because
1t insures good roads. but will keep the
moncy deposited In the postal savings
banks I'm the country districts and ex-
pend 1t for the benefit OF the deposit
ors.
"The greatest objection that has been
raised TO postal savings banks" said
General Stone. sis that II will be like
~ to drain the country districts OF
money for Investment in government
bonds and other securities that will lie
Idle nnd bring no apparent benefit to
the people. But nearly every man
have heard from who has raised this
objection admits that the investment
of the money In the improvement OF
the highways of the country Will saiis-
~ the opposition and strengthen public
sentiment In fnyor Of the bill.
'The postmaster general objected mt
first," said General Stone. '.bccause he
thought ii was Populism. but since be
has made an investigation he has
changed his mind and now gives the
proposition his Endorsement. The menu
bers OF the Republican National COM
mittee have also taken I'M interest in
the matter and will encourage II az n
political issue. l believe that great
deal more money would be brought into
the postal savings banks IL the depos-
itors realized that II IL going to he In
vested In their own locality to improve
their property and condition."
General Stone will go before the
postoffice committee when the bill is
taken up and make nm argument In
support OF the amendment.
