Cleveland Engineer Tells Of . New and
BETTER Canal Route.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 28.-John F. lie.
baron. a we'll known civil engineer, de-
clares in an interview here that while
engaged as IN engineer on the old Mica.
ragua canal be discovered g new and
practical route for the interoceanic con.
nection.
81 was one of the engineers,' said he.
''and became thoroughly acquainted
with the territory; and when I discov-
cred the new and practicableroute, I at
once laid it before the menswho were
backing the enterprise. But they were
pledged to put the canal through on
practically the route that had been laid
out, and did not act upon mysuggestion,
and furthermore, did not want anything
said Of the new and shorter route.
"When congress acted nsthe matter,
and the president designated commits
sion to go thoroughly over the ground
and report on all feasible routes, I at
once wrote the commission, saying that
if it was desired, I would 60 to Wash
ington and make known my route. l
asked for no commission normoney, and
have no other interestin the matter than
the public interest. The commission
did not see fit to accept offer, and
therefore ! have never ssed the
route. The commission has passed IA
vorably on the Lull route which, I be-
lieve, presents obstacles that make it
impracticable."
MI. Lebaron claims that the route he
proposed ismuch shorter than any other,
and would cost $s229, O0O, 600 less than any
yet named. Mr.. Lebaron is now an en-.
.gineer of the American and Honduras
company, to which Honduras recently
granted valuable concessions.

VEI0ADIRR GENERAL CHARLES r. EAGAN.
General Wesley Merritt is at the head,
and a Judge advocate, and it is to meet
in this city Wednesday the 95th inst,
or as soon thereafter as practicable,
this qualification being necessary be-
aus a number of the members are at
distant points and will require some
days to adjust their affairs and reach
this city. All the officers composing
the court, save one, are from the regu-
lar army, a number Of whom, however,
during the war accepted volunteer rank
and still hold those commissions.
Detail of the Court.
The detail for the court is as follows,
Major General Butler being the only
member not connected with the regular
army: Major General Wesley Merritt,
U. 8. A.; Major General James F.
Wade, U. S. w.; Major General Mat
thew G. Butler, u. S. "; Major Gen
eral Samuel B. Young, U. S. "; Briga-
der General Royal T. Frank, U. s. ";
Brigadier General Alexander Now.
Pennington, u. S. "; Brigadier Gen
eral George M. Randall, U. s. "; Brig
adler General Jacob Kline, u. s. ";
Brigadier General Richard Combs, q.
s. "; Colonel Peter G. Hams, Corps of
Engineers; Colonel q. G. Gillespie,
Corps of Engineers; Colonel Charles r.
Suter, Corps Of Engineers; Colonel
Francis e. Guenther, Fourth artillery,
and Lieutenant Colonel George B.
Davis, deputy judge advocate general,
judge advocate of the court.
Will Not Re Placed Under Arrest.
If the expectation at the adjutant gen.
erals Office is followed it is probable
General Eagan will not be placed under
actual arrest and deprived of any of his
liberties pending and during the actual
trial, but will be subject only to tech
nical arrest during that time. In the
case of officers of high rank this is occa-
sionally but not often done and this
course does not in any way invalidate
the trial or findings of the court. Gen
eral Eagan will be expected to remain
away from his Office and render himself
inconspicuous until his appearance be-
fore the court to answer the charges,
when he will be placed under construc-
tive arrest and remain so during the
proceedings.

THREW OUT THE GERMAN.
Rather Exciting Proceedings in the sa--
moa sapreme Court.

moa sapreme Court.
LONDON, Jan. 21.-A special dispatch
from Auckland, N. T., says the British
and American consuls were compelled
to force the doors of the supreme court
at Apia, Samoa, in which the German
consul had established himself, and to
push him into the street.
All parties at Apia, the special dis
patch continues, unite in condemning
the German consul for the fighting
which has taken place between therival
kings. It is pointed out that in viola.
ton of all agreements, the consul &C.
companied Mataafa's force when the
claimant invaded the town and encour.
aged the opposition to Malietoa Tanus.
When the British and American con.
suls were informed to the situation,
they adjourned the court and locked the
building. The German consul then de.
manded the keys, which were refused
him. He then broke open the doors, re.
moved the locks and replaced them
with others. He afterwards brought
the German municipal president into
.LuO Clld11UcI duu I1c AdGOel WcuG upon
the balcony and shouted to the British
and American marines assembled on the
square, II am the supreme court. ]
am the chief justice"
The crowd replied with jeers and the
British consul demanded the keys of
the building, which were refused.
A~Scotchman named Mackie, there.
fore climbed on top Of the building and
hoisted the Samoan flag, while the
British and American consuls and a
number Of marines invaded the build
ing, forced and broke open the doors
and pushed the German consul into the
street. Then the two consuls formally
and legally, according to the special
dispatch, opened the court and issued a
warning against any further inter
ference with its jurisdiction, threaten
ing to arrest and imprison any one at.
tempting to do Sc. Matters, the dis.
dispatch concludes, are now quiet and
the German consul remains in his con-
sulat6.

MoNTANA's ACTION UPHELD
HUI a Right to Tax U~npatented Selections
of Railroad Companies.

Hns q Right to Tax Unpatentcd Selections
of Railroad Companies.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-In the United
States supreme court, Justice McKenna
handed down an opinion in the case Of
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
versus the treasurer of jefferson county,
Mon. The case involves the right OF
the state authorities to tax railroad
lands within the Northern Pacific grant
which are unpatented, because their
character with reference to minerals
has not been determined. The railroad
company contended that such right had
not existed, but the decision of the cir
cult courtswas against the company and.
the supreme court upheld this opinion.
Justices Brewer, Shiras, White and
Peckham dissented.
