CUBAN COURTS ARE CORRUPT,
GovernOr-GencralB Brooke VIII Take
the Matter of Their Purifcn-
tiOn In Hand.

Havana. April 3.-To-day, as under
Spanish regime, bribery aud fraud rule
the Cuban courts. This is the firm con-
viction of the military administration.
Governor-General Brooke is taking the
matter up and intends to clean out the
corruption, to revise the judicial pro-
ccdure, to change the court personnel
and TO abolish the barbarous practice
of incommunicado. by which Judge
may imprson for lifea person ignorant
Of the accusation against him and of
the names of his accusers.
II is true that the statutes allow
only three days detention incommuni-
cGdo, but a judge, under the practice
that has grown up, may make a new
commitment at the expiration of the
third day; another at the expiration
Of the sixth and 50 on without limit.
More than this, the evidence in GRIM
inal causes is taken by clerks, who, for
consideration, write into the tesil-
mony things never uttered, thus often
making the best friends of the accused
appear to condemn him. Apparently
the whole criminal and civil systems
have been arranged so as to make it
easy to buy and sell Justice.

SOUTHERN GLEANlNaS.
Was an Accomplished Student.

Prof. Walter d. Dabney, of the Uni
versity of Virginia, whose death is an
nounced, was one of the most accorn-
plished students of law in the state.
In ls92 he was sent to Chicago toargue
a case before Judge Gresham, then IN
the United States bench. At the end Of
his argument the judge came down
from his bench, invited him to his
home, and showed him every courtesy
and attention. When Judge Gresham
was appointed secretary of state by
Mr.. Cleveland he sent for Senator Dam
iel and inquired if he knew Mr.. Dab
ney. On receiving favorable reply, he
at once announced his intention 10
appoint him solicitor of the state de-
partment, and did so without Mr.. Dab
neys knowledge. His resignation, in
1895, to take the chair of common and
statue law in the University of Vir-
ginia met with universal regret IN, the

The State land sales for the month Of
March show a continued increase in
land purchases over the extraordinary
business of the previous five or six
months. During the previous month
the land commissioners las paid into
the treasury in actual cash the sum of
5000 for lands sold, and $2O2.jO in fees
for patents issued. In addition to this
sum there are thirty land patents pend
ing, or applications for patents amount
ing to $500, on which the fees will
amount to So Crediting this last sum
to the month of March, would make
the sales of that month larger than for
any single month in the past ten years.

District Attorney Lea of the Federal
district court is in correspondence with
United States Attorney-General Griggs
with reference to the injunction against
the two bridge concerns which have
contracted to build bridges across Pearl
river, in Copiah county. Mr.. Lea says
he will file the suit just as soon as
he can get the papers in proper shape.
Both the bridge firms have stopped
work and will go before congress with
the matter, but Mr.. Lea has no doubt
that the court will hold Pearl river to
he n navigable stream.
