DISMISSED LIBEL SUITS.
New York Not the Place to Sue Newspapers
In Various Parts of the Country.

New York, Jan. 1i.-Judge Lacombe
of the United States circuit court, by
decision, has thrown out of court the
suits brought by the Union Associated
Press and President Brewer, of the
association, against about fifty news
papers all over the country charged
with libel. Judge Lacombe says:
Here we have nearly fifty libel suits
all brought by the same parties against
different newspapers located in widely
scattered states, with no suggestions
that the libel was ever published or
circulated here by defendants, or that
they have ever done anything more in
the way of business here than to solicit
advertisements through some advertise
ing agent who has no control over the
rates to be charged or the space to be
given. Probably there are but few
newspapers in the United States which
do not publish advertisements original
ing in this city or which do not solicit
such advertisements here. If this and
the adjoining southern district are for
that reason to be considered the proper
forum for suits aginst the owners of
such papers, wherever they may reside
and conduct their business In publish
ing and circulating such papers.it seems
probable that our calendars may be
seriously overwhelmed.

"Who can deny the truth of that as

facts, the House of Representatives

refuses to recognize the incontestible
fact that state of war actually exists
in Cuba today. That refusal is now
prolonging unnecessarily the present
conflict and those who are responsible
for 1t should be held to account for the
useless sacrifice or human life thus
brought about. In the present desc
