TITLES DETERMINED.
Department of the Interior Makes It's
Last Decision In the Famous
O'Brien County Cases,

Register and Receiver of the Land
Office Howard, whose Office is in Des
Moines, has received notice from Wash
ington that the land commissioner has
denied the motion for review of the
case of Ole Olsen versus Daniel L. Simp-
kins and William Traver the land in
question being a part of the disputed
territory in O'Brien county which has
caused such a long and bitter fight be-
tween two would-be owners,
This decision of the commissioner is
the last move that will be made by the
department, and settles the title SO far
as it is concerned. AS matters now
stand the land is given to William Tray
er. The applications have been re-
turned to Des MONIES for the action
of that office.
This decision Is a far-reaching one, as
it will act as precedent for number
OF similar ones now partly tried. There
is no way of taking exception to the
ruling of the commissioner, as it is
final. But one recourse is left the liti-
giants and that is the federal courts.

changed. The militia are still on guard
and the Paine plant, the only one op-
Grating, was started up Saturday morn
ing with slightly increased crew. The
other factories have posted notices,
however, that their plants will be re-
opened Monday morning, and ad-
vertisements for men have been placed
in the local papers. Some of the bust
ness men are inclined to criticise Gov.
Schofield for announcing in Milwau-
kee paper his intention of recalling the
militia to Milwaukee for the carnival ex-
ercises next Tuesday. They declare
that to remove the militia so soon will
surely be followed by further acts Of
violence by the strikers, In fact, the
strikers openly assert they will wait
until the militia is taken away, knowing
1t cannot be kept here very long.
Gov. Schofield had long telephone
conference Saturday morning with
Sheriff Lambert, Mayor Ideson and
Gen, Boardman, relative to the with
drawal of the militia and sending them
back to Milwaukee for the carnival
fetes. 1t was finally decided to leave
the matter 10 the discretion of the
sheriff, who will act under advice of the
manufacturers. Col. Seymour Hollis
ter was designated to represent the
governor in local conferences.

Matter Discussed in the Cabinet-one

Ten of Our Best Ships for the
Task.

Washington, June 25.-The PROPOSE
ton to attack the coast of Spain itself,
while not having progressed to any
definite stage, has not been abandoned
by the administration. On the con-
trary, it has been the subject of some
earnest discussion in administration
circles, though 1t has gained no Sc
rious attention in the deliberations of
the cabinet as body. The plan as in
formally discussed looks to taking a
number of our first-class battleships,
supply vessels, and making war on the
large cities along the Spanish coast. In
this connection the statement of cab
met official that he fayors an early or
dering of about ten of our vessels of
the first rating, with orders to carry
what will be needed in the course of so
long journey, to he taken away from
our fleet in Cuba and sent direct on
this mission, is significant He said
he believed that until some such work
as that is done by our forces the gov
eminent of Spain will fail to appne-
eiate the resources of the government
with which she is at war.
Nothing Definitely Decided.
1t should be distinctly understood,
however, that there is no semblance of
conclusion as yet to take any such
step in the future, and, while earnestly
discussed, no project of this nature has
been laid before the official family of
the president This action, if it were
taken at all, would involve the view
that the vessels could easily be spared
from the Cuban waters, and some mem

iation IN saying that they might be
easily spared before long without detri-

reference to Havana, it has been sug-
gested that our troops surround the city
and take possession of the highlands, so
as to cover every point of approach, and
fopdnpt a peaceful siege. The plan is
yet tentative. 1t would do away; or
dinarily with the large fatalities that
must necessarily follow an attempted
immediate capture of the Spanish cita.
del and also would locate our troops in
healthful regions. Probably not less

this plan be adopted. While the admin.
istration has not over much confidence
