that the "owncr cf dog has such a
property therein as to ontitle him to
recover or wrongful injury there
to" This decision was filed by JUS
tico Jones in the case Of Salley vs..
the Manchester and Augusta Rail
way company. The plaintiff brought
suit against the railroad company
for damages for running ovor dog.
The decision says:
"Whether dogs in this State may
be the subject of such complete pro.
perty rs wonld mako the stealing Of
them larceny has not beon expressly
decidod." But Justice Jones opined
that rs dogs are assessed for taxa
tion therefore "there is legislative
recognition Of dogs as personal pro-
pcrty capable of valuation. What the
law taxes as personal property, it
will tax as such"
The latter case was romanded to
the circuit court for trial, and from
this it is probable that tho supreme
court will decide that stealing dog
i'll tho night timo from premises ap.
purtenant to Il dwelling is burglary.

CANINE QUESTION
BEFORE The COURT.
MAN CHARGED WITH BURGLARIZING
n DOG-KENNEL
Novel Case lin Supreme Cnurt-T The Priu-
ciPle OF Law lnyoived In whether u Dog
lisa Piece Of Personal Property
(l'he.Stute.)

An interesting case is soon to
come up in the State Supreme Court.
The principle involved is lis a dog
such property as is the subject Of
larceny?" The question is seeming
ly al insignificant one, but it has
never beon determined definitely in
the courts Of this State.
On July IS, 1893, George Lang
ford entered the dog house of Mary
Nichols, at Newborry, about 10
o'clock at night, "feloniously and
burglariously with intent to steal
tho goods and chattels Of Mary
Nichols" and with force and arms
did steal one dog Of the value of
$50, etc.
The case was not tried in tho cir.
cult court as Langfurd's attorney 9,
Johnstone e. Wolch, moved that tn,
indictment be quashed on the grounds
"that a dog is not such property as
in the criminal law is tho subject of
larceny, and therefore there can be
no burglary.
"Thc second count does not allege
that the said dog house was within
zoo yards Of, and appurtenant to,
the dwelling house, and hence com.
pound larceny could not be com.
mittcd therein"
His Honor, Judge Geo w. Gage,
quashed the indictment for the fol-
lowing reasons:
"Bnrrlary Of the dog house ap.
purtenant 10 the dwelling with in
tent 10 steal the goods and chattels
Of person named.
"Compound larceny. a stealing
of dog in the night time, worth
$50, from a dog house, aud EN-
braced in the last is petit larceny.
"I hold, first, that larceny cannot
be committed Of n dog; that the in
tent to steal goods and chattels,
charged in the first count, nccpssa-
rily implies the stealing Of a dog, be-
cause from dog house, and that the
offense of burglary is therefore not
charged.
81 hold, further, that it is not com.
pound larceny to steal from dog.
house.
II hold, lastly, that no petit lar
ceny Of dog can be committed, but,
if SO, the magistrate has concurrent
jurisdiction, and the case is triable
by that officer and onght not to be
tried here"
Solicitor Scase entered an appeal
on the grounds that dog is the sub.
ject Of larceny as much as any other
personal property; and thai the case
was a matter for proof and should
have gone to tho jury.

HOlSrS THE WHITE FLAG AND ASKS
TERMS FOR SURRENDER.
Seeo His Finish-Sends two Oniccrs who
hre kindly Il, lived and Conducted to
Gen OTIS. at Manila, to Ncgoiiute for
Peace.

Manila, April 2S.-As was pre-
dicted, the capture of Calumpit by
the Americans broke the back bone
of the insurgent cause and the cap
tnre was made by such daring skill
and was such remarkable military
achievement that Aguinaldo lost no
time in boisting a flag of truce and
making overtures for cessation of
hostilities.
Col. Manual Argueleses and Lieut..
Jose Bernal, chief of General Lunas
staff, entered General McArthurs
limo early today bearing u flag of
truce. They we're on route for Ma
Mia ! y train to confer with General
Otis regarding terms Of surrender
Arriving at Manila, Colonel Man
uel Arguelesson and Lieutenant Jose
Bernal told General Otis that they
wore Representatives of General Luna
and had been requested by Aguin-
aldo to ask General Otis for cessa-
tion Of hostilities in order to allow
time for tho summoning of tho Fill
ipino congress-, which would decide
whether tina people wanted peace.
General Otis replied that he did
not recognize the existence of the
Filipino government.
There will be another conference
tomorrow.
When the flag Of truce was first
raised the Filipino officers walked
down tho railroad track to Kansas
regiment outpost at 8 o'clock this
morning. The Kansas captain in
command there escorted them to
General Wheaton's headquarters
where they were provided with
horses and sont to the headquarters
of General Macarthur. The latter
invited tho Filipinos to luncheon
and conversed with them for some
time. He refused, however, to speak
athoritatively on the subject of their
errand.
The Filipinos were then escorted
by Major Malonoy, Of General Nc"
Aithur's staff, to Manila, reaching
that place at 3 o'clock p. m. Gen
eral Otis's aide, Lieutenant Sladen,
was awaiting their arrival at the
depot with carriage in which they
we're driven to the palace entrance.
They were escorted directly to the
Office Of General Otis. -.
Jacob G.. Schurman, president Of
the Philippine commission, and the
Hon. Chas Denby, member of the
commission, soon joined the party
there.
The news Of the 'arival of the
Filipino officers under flag Of truce
spread through the city rapidly and
many officers gravtated to tho corri-
dors of the palace while Il crowd Of
natives gathered in the square op-
posite the palace.
At 5 O'Clock the Filipino officers,
escorted by Lieutenant Sladen and
Major Maloney, left the palace.

NOT OUR AFFAIR
Reputation of the Interest on
the Cuban Bonds Gives Us
No Concern,
Except That There May Be an
Attempt to Discuss 1t in
Congress.
Matter Was Practically Settled
When the Paris Treaty Was
Signed.

NEW YORK. Sept. PA special to
The Journal and Advertiser from WASH
ington says: The decision by the Span
ish cabinet that interest on the Cuban
bonds must be paid by the Cuban gov
ernment is q virtual announcement
that Spain will not pay the interest:
that the bonds are valueless. Involved
in this announcement is the condition
that there may be an attempt to entan-
gle congress in discussion of tho re-
sponsibility of the United States for the
amount due on the occupation Of the
island. The following authoritative
statement was obtained from the state
department:
1.-The United States commissioners at
Paris never at any time or in any de-
gree admitted that the United States
should become responsible for the Gu
ban debt. There was never any under
standing that any other party should be
responsible for that debt but Spain her
self. The reason the United States did
not assume the debt or any part OF It,
was that the debt was incurred almos,
wholly by Spain to crush the several
instructions. The United States might
have assumed to gurantee this debt i
the funds named had been expended II
! internal improvements in Cuba.
| This government, as is well known
consented to pay to Spain $50. .OOO. 900 II
the case Of the Philippine islands solel.
on the ground that approximately tha
amount had been expended by Spain II
improvements in the islands.
The United States, therefore. as
sumed no obligations for and has no in
terest whatever in the declarations of tn
Spanish cabinet on the debts OF Spa''
or how they shall be paid. The presen
declaration looks like repudiation {
the debt, principal and interest,""
The state department argues tbs
when Spain relinquished her sove1
eighty in Cuba. she relieved that islam
of debts contracted to keep her
bondage. This construction. it is hell
is affirmed in the notes which passe
between the two disputing commission
when the treaty was under discussie
in Paris.
