DIRECTORS MEETING, THE HAVAN LOTTERY
time to time been paid in gold or silver
or paper currency, as the price of the
different kinds of money was most adj
vantageous for the government. The
accounts were last kept on a gold basis
in 1899 During that year the amount
Of revenue paid into the treasury from
the lottery was ST., 957, 1874.
Drawings usually took place three
times a month, For each IL, 900 tickets
were offered for sale at $40 each for the
entire ticket or 80 cents each for any
one of the 20 sections into which it was
subdivided. Three-quarters Of the re-
ceipts were distributed in premiums
and one-quarter was retained by the
government, which took also all prizes
drawn on unsold tickets. The first prize
at each drawing was $50, 600. From
that amount they ranged down to 500
prizes of $50 each.
By a complicated system Of agencies
that reached to every village Of Cuba
lottery tickets were for sale everywhere.
There agents hired subagents to peddle
tickets in the streets and public places.
One of the favorite methods for recon
oentrado children to earn a few cents a
day was to sell tickets for some sub
agent. Their shrill voices crying, Good
numbers, sure to win prizes. could be
heard on every corner. Lottery tickets
were far more easy to obtain in Havana
than postage stamps. 1t is scarcely an
| exaggeration to say that every n more
than 10 years Of age in Cuba played in
the lottery.
In speaking of the lottery the Condo
de la Reunion told me recently that the
receipts had fallen off very materially
| since the American occupation of east
ern Cuba. Santiago, he said, was for
merly one of the best markets for the sale
of lottery tickets.
II do not very we'll see, " said the
conde, chow the United States govern
ment can dispense with the lottery
without causing great dissatisfaction
throughout Cuba. We are as much'ac-
customed to buying lottery tickets as
postage stamps. Savings banks have
never been a success in the island. One
was tried several years ago in Havana,
but it failed miserably, and its presi-
dent committed suicide. Cubans are ac-
customed to putting their spare money
into the lottery as an investment. Any
man who plays continuously and perse-
veringly is almost certain to get back
more money than he has paid into the
lottery, besides always having a chance
Of winning a prize that will make him
comfortably rich for life"
The Condo de la Reunion, who is a
large plantation owner and one OF the
leading autonomists in Havana, voiced
the Spanish and Cuban opinion of the
lottery. 1t is exceedingly doubtful
whether American eyes will ever view
this time honored institution in the
same light. Especial Cor. Boston Her

Our esteemed, -oore or less so, Dem
ocratic contemporaries are jubilant and
say the result of the recent election
demonstrates that the Republicans will
not be able to do any more lodging on
the statehood question. AS the Repub-
leans of New Mexico, as a party and as
a whole, have been strongly and ne-
quivocally for statehood for the terri
tory for the past 80 years and have
made heroic efforts to secure the same,
it is not so very apparent where the
joy of the Democratic papers of the ter
ritory comes in.

AS a nation, there has much trans

for sincere thanksgiving to the All

Thanks to the Dingley tariff law, the
Mckinley administration and the fact
that there will be a Republican con-

beyond precedent. There is n cloud
upon this fair horizon, however, and
that is, that Colonel w. Jennings Bry-
an. Senator Teller, "Coin" Harvey, the
Democratic national committee and the
yellow free silver papers all shout, that
this boom is but temporary and cannot
last. But the people are content to reap
the benefits while it does last.

Willis Aumock and his party of Cocos Island treasure hunters were obliged to keep in seclusion in their rooms at the Golden West Hotel yesterday to escape the horde of inquirers that all day be- sieged them. They all wanted infor- nation concerning the hiding place of the long lost wealth of the Incas that for more than half a century has eluded the probes of the army of fortune seek CTS that since the historical voyage of the bark Mary Dea have delved in the sands of the little isle of the South Pa cific. Some of the men who called on us," said Mr. Aumock, wanted to know the exact spot where the fortune lies buried, and they became quite in- dignant when the information was re- fused them.
 T am satisfied we have found the exact spot where the treasure lies buried on Cocos Island" continued the leader of the fortune-hunting party T feel certain that before twelve months more have passed we will have the hidden wealth in our possession, or as much of it as the Government of Costa Rica will allow us to carry away. I have no doubt that we are on the right scent and the treasure cannot get away from us unless some one by sheer good luck should visit the island and un- earth 1t before we can get back to the place. Of that, however, I have no fear. It can only be found by means of the chart l hold and it is the only

ed. Meanwhile Black remained in jail, and his attorney, H. Cook, applied to the Supreme Court to have MT. Curry com pelled to send up the printed records MT. Curry made answer to the effect that the fund was exhausted and he could not get any of the printers to do the job, they fearing that they could not get their pay.
 In their decision yesterday the Justices hold that the Supervisors have no right to make any special appropriation for the purpose in question, the Legislature directing in no uncertain terms that the county must have records in appeal cases printed and sent to the Supreme Court. The decision concluded:
 Section 1246 further provides that the cost of the printing shall be a charge against the county, and the county is not exempt from liability therefor by a failure of the Board of Supervisors to set apart a sufficient fund therefor. Whether the cost of the printing shall be paid by the Clerk in the first instance. or whether the person doing the work shall present his claim therefor to the Board of Supervisors is immaterial. The statute makes it charge against the county, and, as the mourning of the expense is not within the. control of the Board of Supervisors, it is not competent for that body to determine the amount that shall be expended therefor. or by setting apart an insufficient fund ab- solve the Clerk from his duty to cause the record to be printed and transmitted to the clerk of this court. The order asked for Is granted.

Attorney Gillis Told Why He Gave Bad Advice
 to the Cooks.
But He Did Not Mean Any Disrespect to Judge
 Morrow.
Contempt Proceedings in the Lumber Cases at an End Except for
 the Judgment

Hervey Lindley went on the stand yesterday in the United States Circuit Court and explained the bill of sale transaction between him and John R. Cook of the Klamath River Lumber and Improvement Company.
 Tt was a question of perfecting our title to the property which includes this logging railway, the chutes, etc." said MT. Lindley. "John R. Cook was in debt, and the title of the property was in him personally and was held by him 1 presume for his company. On ac- count of the danger of attachment at the hands of Cooks creditors, and the consequent tying up of the railroad, MT. Cook conveyed the railroad to me. I thereupon made a memorandum agree ment reconveying the property to Will Cook and John E. Cook, this memoran- dunn to be held by me; and it was made for the purpose of the proper transfer of the property at the time of the expir- ation of the lease.
 T put the paper away and had not seen 1t for more than a year when I went on the stand yesterday. Yes terday 1 testified to the best of my memory and belief that it had not been signed or executed. I telegraphed for the paper and it came this morning, and on inspecting it I saw that it had been signed and acknowledged, but that it had never been delivered. It is not an executed document. l testi- fled yesterday to the best of my knowl- edge and belief, and there was noth- ing for me to gain by misrepresenting the matter"
 Attorney H. B. Gillis was placed on the stand for the purpose of explain Ing why he had advised the Klamath people to disobey the restraining order of United States Circuit Judge Morrow. He deemed that it was his duty to his clients and to the court, he said, not to yield up any more of their rights than he was obliged to. He had told the Deputy United States Marshal that he did not understand that the order required them to give up possession of the property. It was not until after consulting with the other attorneys for the Klamath Company that a doubt arose in his mind as to the propriety of the advice he had given the. Cooks.
 He had left a gang of armed men in the mill to hold technical possession, not to have a crowd of men there to bulldoZe or scare people, but simply to hold technical possession so that their legal rights might be preserved.
 'The Cooks have followed my advice
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-09

as had given it, and if any contempt has been committed it has coma through my advice,'' continued Mr Glllis T didn't think that the restrain ing order required Us to give up all possession of the premises and nron- erty involved, but considered that the order was made for the purpose of preventing us from interfering with any property of which we had con structive possession"
 You advised the Cocks to hold inc mill by force of arms if necessary ?" asked MT. Pillsbury of the witness
 'tYes, sir"
 After you had read the restraining order of the Circuit Court?'
 YeS, sir. AS soon as I had a con- sultation with Messrs. Stratton & Den son we sent dispatch ordering that no more men should be put into the mill and to take out those who Were in there.''
 After the witness had left the stand Judge Morrow remarked that whenever there is any question as to the mean ing or authority of a restraining order a motion should be made to dissolve the injunction. Whenever lawyers are in doubt about such matters they go to the court for enlightenment.
 Attorney Pillsbury, for the Pokega ms Sugar Pine Lumber Company, said that if any of the attorneys on the other side had gone to the court the next day they could have been informed as to the courts idea of the scope of the re- straining order.
 The matter was taken under advise ment, and the court directed that the restraining order should remain in force under the final disposition of the dispute
