FRESNoITES WIN
The s. P. Worsted in Its Last Attempt
at Land Grabbing


FRESNO, July N-Judge Risley rem
dered an important decision today in num-
bers Of railroad suits which were brought
the Southern Pacific company against Isaac
T. Bell and large number Of others who
had settled on land on the west side, and
who were ssuedpatents by the government.
The suits came up before Judge Risley on
demurrers interposed by the defendants,
and the Judge sustained the demurrers.
The sustaining of the demurrers practical
ly is a victory for the defendants, as the
points raised by the demurrers went
squarely to the merits of the suits.
The history of the cases is quite an inter-
esting one. In 1866 the government deeded
to the railroad company every odd section
of land along the route of the road, ex-
tending a distance of twenty miles on
either side Of the track. The condition to
the grant was that the railroad company
should have every other section which was
not occupied at the time. AS some of the
land which would fall to the railroad com
pany had been settled, what was known
as an indemnity grant was afterward made.
giving the company an additional strip of
land ten miles wide in which 1t might select
land to make up for the occupied sections IN
the previous grant. Subsequently, how
ever, the indemnity grant was rescinded.
After the indemnity grant in this particu-
lar case was withdrawn by the government,
the defendants in the present litigation
settled upon It, complied with all the pro-
vision Of the law appertaining to Ming upon
land. and patents were Issued to theml by
the United States government The rail-
road company now sues under the indem-
nifty grant, claiming that the cancellation
Of It was unconstitutional.

PRINCE BISMARCK
THE IRON CHANCELLOR SAID TO
BE FAILING
His Physicians Deny That There Is
Any Immediate Danger Of
Death

BERLIN, July H.-In the face Of the con-
flicting statements and the secrecy MAIN
tanned at Friedrichsruhe, accurate ac-
counts Of Prince Bsmarck's condition are
impossible. 1t is the custom Of DR..
Schweninger TO deny all alarrntst reports,
first because his patient is etill in the habit
Of reading the newspapers when he Is we'll
enough, and. secondly, because he con-
tends that Prince Bismarck has the same
right of privacy In such matters as an ordi-
nary private citizen.
From the best available sources It may be
gathered that Bismarcks condition is one
of diminishing strength and power to fight
against chronic disease, rather than OF
sudden collapse or change, and that he may
live for some time unless sudden weakness
of the heart sets in. The Inflammation
Of the vein of the leg is causing increasing
trouble. Some reports say that an open,
painful sore in one leg prevented him from
sleeping, and has caused general weakness.
DR.. Schweninger, in a published inter-
view, denies all these alarmist reports. He
complains of the great trouble caused to
himself and the whole Bismarck household
by telegraphic and other inquiries from all
parts of the world, saying that he wants his
time for his patient, and cannot be expected
to answer inquiries, expressing the opinion
that people Ought to be more consider
ate"
BERLIN, July IA representative Of
the Hamburfsche correspondent, telegraph
ing from Friedrichesruhe at 4:30 p m,
says:
The reports Of Prince Bismarck's serious
Illness are unfortunately verified so far as
can be ascertained. The family feared the
worst yesterday. The prince Is weaker
today, but as he slept wen last night, 1t Is
hoped he may again improve. The whole
family is assembled at FREDERICKSBURG.

Prince Bismarck Is again causing his

When Mr.. Hooley was questioned about

THE WANDERED woRsTED
Tried to Land Supplies but Spanish
Cavalry Prevented

KEY WEST, Fla, July q, $3.50 a. m
News reached here today Of the attempted
landing off Cuban shores of q large expedi-
tion of men and arms by the steamer Wand
erer, which left Key West about a week
ago.
Banes, west of Havana, was the point
selected for debarkation, but arriving
there, the expedition was confronted by a
body of cavalry numbering thousand or
more, and sharp engagement ensued.
The Wanderer was to have been met by a
party of Cubans, who had evidently been
driven off by Spanish forces before the ar
rival of the Wanderer.
The Wanderer, which was not under
convoy, drew up about 400 yards from the
shore and began discharging her cargo by
means of gallant boat. At first there were
no signs of resistance, and portion of the
supplies had already beer. placed on the
beach. when vigorous rifle fire was open
ed on the members of the expedition from a
wood lining the beach and a force Of Span
ish cavalrymen burst into sight.
There were about two score sharpshoot-
ers who evidently expected the expedition
and they attempted to cover the retreat
by lying fiat and returning the Spaniards'
fire. They picked off number Of the
cavalrymen. and as the opposing force
backed to the woods the Wanderers men
got their boats of, but not before William
Davis, mate; William Ross, seaman; Ga
briel Alvarez, Felix Lopez and Rotolu Gar
ella had been slightly wounded.
After the Wanderers men had gotten
away the Spaniards pushed down to the
beach and resumed their fire. peppering the
hull Of the Wanderer with Mauser bullets,
but infiicting no further damage.
The gunboat Vicksburg returned here
this morning after having been 80 days in
the blockade. She reports that on Tuesday
last, while two miles of shore, west of
Havana, the vedado battery and the bat
terry recently erected fred three shots each
1t her. The shells fell close to the SHIP
and she quickly got out Of range.
