self to Secretary Ayers curt rebuke. but
1t was entirely unnecessary and uncalled

should make memorandum of the secre-

will say something in reply. Roosevelt
usually responds when called upon.

The News remarks, with its characteristic
sneer, that now that Hawaii has been an
nexed, the talk about a beet-sugar industry
should be very low, or words to that effect.
That is, the annexation of piece of terri
tory one-fifth the area of Indiana will make
it impossible to produce beet sugar because
that bit of land will produce all the sugar
needed. If annexation should cause any
change in the conditions of importation of
sugar from Hawaii it might have a slight eff
feet upon the price, but Hawaiian sugar has
been on the free list fifteen years or more,
and that advantage has put nearly all the
sugar lands of the islands under cultiva-
ton. Even for the sake of a sheer facts
that are well known should not be ignored.

In both army and navy circles the in
Irmation contained in the dispatches
General Shafter and Admiral Samp-
On was received with intense satisfac-
ON. The landing of so large body of
loops as General s5hafter at present
mas under his command is task of inn
nense proportions.
A prominent official of the war de
partment said last night that the COM
plete debarEation OF the troops. animals,
field guns ana supplies within a week
after their arrival off the Cuban coast
would be task well accomplished 1t
is probable, Ill the opinion OF the officer
referred to- that only partial landing
of the troops was effected today, and
that the landing win be continued from
day to day until completed. 1t is not
unlikely, too, that the troops will be
landed at several places along the coast,
of course within a short distance of the
headquarters which General Shafter
will establish for himself.
Admiral SIMPSONS dispatch indi-
Gated that he was carrying out his in
structions thoroughly to clear way for
the landing of troops. The demonstra-
ton which he made with the Texas be-
fore Cabanas, which is just cast Of
Guantanamo, may easily have led the
Spaniards to suppose that general
landing was to be attempted in that inn
mediate vicinity. 1t was evident from
the text of Admiral Simpsons dispatch
that a considerable landing had already
been effected near Guantanamo, as he
noted that communication by telegraph
had been re established at that point,
and that the channel had been cleared
of submarine mines. In the opinion of
naval officers the landing at Guanta-
namo was Of marines rather than of
land forces.
The cable station through which the
American commanders will communi-
cate with the departments in this city
has been established, as shown by the
dates of the dispatches received this
evening, at Playa del Este, a small
place directly on the coast and about :
miles east OF Santiago. The change was
made from Camp McCalla TO Playa del
Este in order that the station might be
nearer the scene of action.

IN IMPORTANT CASE.
he Decisiom Which VIII do Much TO
Settle Land Titles.

/ The decision of the United States
supreme court OF appeals in the case
Of Henry King against Nj. b. Mullens,
Alex. McClintic and John McClintic
will do more to settle West Virginia
/ land titles than probably any case
that has ever been decided in either
the state or federal courts. An adj
vance copy of Justice Harian's opinion
in the case has just reached here, and
the lawyers are all scrambling to see
it.
The case Involved the title to $780,
900 acres of land. patented in 1895 by
Robert Morris, and lying in Logan
and adjoining counties. The defend
ants in the case relied entirely upon
the fact that the land was forfeited
to the state by the failure of the
owners to enter the same upon the
land books for five years prior to the
suit. The case was first decided by
Judge Golf. of the United States cir
cult court, who instructed the jury
that the land having been left off the
books constituted forfeiture, and
the jury broguht in a verdict in ac-
cordance with the instruction. King
appealed on a writ of error to the
supreme court of the United States
on the ground that the statute Of
West Virginia declaring lands for
feited for non-entry was contrary TO
the fournteeth amendment TO the fed
eral constitution. The opinion OF
Justice Harlan affirms Judge COTS
decision. The upreme court holds
that the system established by West
Virginia for the forfeiture of lands
for non-entry is not inconsistent with
the due process of law required by the
federal constitution. This question
has been raised many times in the
courts of thestate. but this is the first
time the question was ever brought
directly before the supreme court of
the United States.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-From adviees
received by General Miles yesterday it
is evident that troops have been or are
being landed not far from Playa del
Este, east side of Santiago bay, and at a
point west of the harbor entrance.
The two divisions probably will be
pushed forward steadily TO take the
town of Santiago OH either flank, while
to Garcia and Rabbits bands of insur-
gents may be left the task of bringing
ON The attack in the rear. The distance
on the west side is slightly greater than
on the east, but it probably is not
greater by either route than Is or 10
miles. The country is mountainous,
but there is no reason TO believe it may
not be traversed by the United Statos
troops within week, even if it should
be necessary to construct entertainments
and abattis every few miles in order to
beat back the Spaniards. With the be-
ginning of the military movement the
navy will draw close in shore to pound
away at the forts at the entrance and to
draw the Gordon of warships so closely
around the mouth as to make it impos-
slble for Cervera's vessels to escape,
even if they are disposed to take the
most desperate chances.
Official dispatches received last night
by both Secretary Alger and Secretary
Long indicated that the landing of
troops near Santiago was progressing
most favorably. The first landing was
effected at Daiquiri yesterday morning
and met with comparatively slight re-
sistance This was stated i'll "a dispatch
received last evening by Secretary
Alger which, though brief, was full of
news and meaning. 1t follows:
'fPLAYA DEL ESTE, June 20.
Secretary of War,
Washington, d. @.
ssOFF DAIQUIRI, Cuba. June 3D.
Landing at Dalquiri this morning Sue
cessful. Very little if any resistance.
''SHAFTER.
Secretary Alger expressed himself as
delighted at the expedition with which
the landing of the troops was being
effected and with the fact that no seri-
Gus obstacle was being offered by the
enemy. He construed the text OF Gen
eral Shafter's message to mean that the
enemy had made merely nominal and
Ineffective resistance by firing from the
hills at long range.
Shortly after Secretary Alger received
his dispntch Secretary Long received a
more extended cablegram from Admiral
Sampson. 1t, too, was dated at Playa
del Este about $50 last evening. The
text of the dispatch, translated from
the navy department cipher, is as fol-
lows:
Landing of the army is progressing
fayorably at Daiquri. There is very
little. il any, resistance. The New
Orleans, Detroit, Castine, Wasp and
