 War.

the anchorage is narrow, but
 the water is navigable to yes
 sels of large tonnage. The
 city is surrounded with walls,
 and a reef of half-sunken rocks, extending over about
 tWo-thirds of the whole cir
 conference, makes another
 barrier. The walls are solid,
 but would very easily yield
 to modern ordnance. Until
 early in last year the only
 battery of any consequence
 was a new one placed toward
 the east coast, designed ap-
 parently to protect the city from anticipated attack on the land side. The battery mounts several Krupp guns of medium caliber. It is be- lleved that several more of these are mounted in Moro Castle at the other end of the town. The remainder of the ordnance in San Juan along the walls until very recently was of very obsolete pat tern and quite unserviceable.
 When the batteries have been reduced several of the vessels in Admiral Sampson's fleet will be left to harass the Spaniards if they attempt to remount their big guns. With the other vessels he will re- turn to Havana, and by this time 6o,ooo or more regular and volunteer troops will have been landed in Cuba at a point known only to the ! War Department.
 BIancO will be called | upon to surrender Ha- vana under penalty of having the city sheIled. He will, of course, send a defiance as his an- sWer. The batteries at MOrrO and Santa Clara and other Qualifications will then be bOmbarded and reduced, and if BldncO still refuses to yield Havana will be shelled by our fleet, while t h e American troops and the insur- gents attack from the

 If the combined Spanish fleet crosses the Atlantic to Blanco's relief Sampson, re- enforced by Captain Schley and his flying squadron, as we'll as the magnificent bat tle-ship Oregon, the Marietta and the Nictheroy, will meet and destroy it before it arrives off Porto Rico.
 In the minds of naval off, eers there is not the slightest doubt of the outcome of such a battle royal on the high seas. In the two American fleets there will be sixty-four war vessels, battle-ships of all kinds, viz.-battle--ships pro- tected and unprotected cruis- CTS, monitors, torpedo boats, gunboats, rams and one dyna- mite hurler.
 The combined Spanish ar mada would contain one formidable battle-ship and a large number of first-class ar cruisers equal to our second-class battle-ships. In to these there would be six torpedo boats and six destroyers.
 Practically the entire reg ular army will invade Cu- ba, and it is believed that 10000 of them will be landed on Saturday or Sun day. They will be under the general command of Gen. eral Miles, who leaves for the South tomorrow, but active operations in the field will be personally directed by Gen. eral Shafter.

THE 4LGODONES GRANT.
Satisfactorily Settled By the Suprem Court Last Monday.

The last barrier in Yuma's pathway
 to prosperity has at last been removed,
 For a quarter of century the people of Yuma have wrestled necessarily
 with the question of a legal title to
 fortv-fve thousand acres of the fines t
 land that ever sprouted a pumpkin,
 the AIgodones grant in the Colorado
 River valley. Last Monday morning
 the Supreme court of the United l States rendered decision in favor of ] the government, which settles the
 matter definitely and the land wilt
 soon be thrown open for settlement.
 In rendering the decision the court admitted the existance of the grant but denied the authority of the grant ing powers to make the grant. The grant was made by the Mexican State ot Sonora, in which the land included in the grant was located. The court held that the Sonora authorities were not competent to act for the republic of Mexico. Justice McKenna rendered lhe opinion In the case, swing
 "The proc. is ample 10 show that the national laws were not pursued, and besides 1t Is conceded that at the tune of the grant, the State Of Sonora was in rebellion against the nation. 1t and its officers were therefore op-, ponents of the national authority, not its instrument, while declaring in the presence of it they could not claim to act for it and convey its title"
 There was great rejoicing in Yuma when the information of the decision was received, and frantic rush for the land office at Tucson was made. Fifteen or twenty thousand acres were filed on the first day. The filings, however, were rejected and no ap- plication for entry will be received y the land office officials until the au- thorities at Washington take action in the matter.
 After the tract has been properly | declared open for settlement it will require thirty days notice by pub lication before filings can be accepted, which will give prospective settlers ample time investigate the matter and know exactly what they are doing. While there will not be half land enough to supply the demand already made, there is no trouble anticipated in adjusting the matter satistactorial- ly to all concerned.
 A petition was yesterday forwarded to Delegate Smith at Washington asking that the rights of actual set tiers, who have spent thousands of dollars and years of hard labor in building homes and placing the land under cultivation, he protected, which !. of course will be done as they come ] under the squatter's right ruling
 The destjue of Yuu is uoE settled. She will no longer be designated IS a ! sleeping little village on the banks of the Colorado, but henceforth will be known as the coming metropolis of he great Inland Empire of the South west.
