LAS VEGAS LAND CLAIMS
Justice Cole Renders a DiSCisIon In
 inc Famous Litigation.

Washington. April 2O.-By a decis-
 ion which Justice Cole rendered yes
 terday in Equity court No. 2, another step is taken in the long-dispUted con- troversy concerning the Las Vegas
 land claims in New Mexico. In deny ing the injunction prayed for by Pablo A1aese, Jose D. Lopez, Donicio Con zalez and Jesus Maria Tafoya, for themselves and for others, the heirs of the original grantees against Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary of the interior, and Binger Harmann. com missioner of public lands, to erJoin them from issuing certain pltents or N. M, the court, in effect, divests the claimants of all right, tLtte and inter est in and to tha property.
 The Las vegas claims have had an tnteresting history, and have been the subject of lit igation from time 10 time since the cession Of the T3xan terri tory to ohe United States by Mexico. It has been maintained that these lands, embracing 496,446 acres ano valued at $2 GOO, 600 were. granted by the Mexican government to Juan Dios Maese, Miguel Archuleta Manuel Duran and Jose Antonio Cossaos for themselves and upon behalf of twenty i've others on March 20, 1885, When the peace protocol and treaty be- tween the United States and Mexico were signed in 1848 the claimants as sert tha: it was agreed that the title to pI;Vate land holdings was not invali- dated and that the United States se- cured no rights to the lands of in tliViduals
 Recently the town of Las Vegas has become Incorporated and on December IF, 1897, steps were taken to have the general government issue patents to certain lands upon which the town is built to the corporation. These pa.- ents were about to be issued by the general land office when the present action WIS brought. There are now many claimants to the lands, whos3 title to the lands, if any ever existed, is now invalidated by the decision of the court. The case will probably be appealed

The Delmonico Restaurant q. 2Gth
 Street, New York, Closed.

New York, April 2O.-The career of the old DelmonicO restaurant at Twenty-Sixth street and Fifth avenue came to an end today, when the place was closed. The lease held by Charles Delmonico expires on May 1, but he decided not to wait until the end of the month before vacating the premi- Ses. A few months ago there was some talk abou: the place being taken by NJ. Martin of the Hotel Martin, but this project. if it ever was seriously enter tained, was abandoned, and after to- day the premises will be empty
 The history of the restaurant is naturally closely allied with the story of New York's social life for nearly a quarter ot century. It was opened 1876, following the famous Delmonico cafe at Fourteenth street and Fifth

DATES FOR ARIZONA.
The Agricultural Department Prepar-
 ing a New Industry.

Washington, April 20.-The most ex- pert pathologis't of the agricultural de- partment, Dr. Zwingle, is in Morocco on a mission which the department hopes will launch new and profitable industry in the most arid sections of our southwest. It has been found that date palms with some irrigation will grow as well in Arizona as Arabia. The early Mormon settlers in the ter ritory proved this many ysars ago, but. the trees were not of the best variety and date growing has never developed as an industry.
 Dr. zwingle is making a clcSe study of the African date palm, selecting the very finest varieties and those best adapted to our arid region. These young trees will be carefully shipped to Arizona and there planted ana cared for under the close supervision of the departments experts.

 Draft Upon inc Already made quafe American Forces in Luzon.

Manila, April 2O.-Spains evacua- tion of the Philippines will be practi- cally completed by the withdrawal of the Spanish garrisons from Zam- bOanga, in the island of Mindanao, and from the Sulu islands, and if the United States assumes control of Min danao and the Sulu islands, on the Spaniards' withdrawal, the military authorities here must, in order to gar risCn these islands, diminish the forces of the American troops, which are all ready too small.
 There was almost a mutiny among the Spanish troops in the islands be- cause they were expected to proceed to the Ladrone islands and the Car0- line islands, some of them refusing to do so, claiming that their enlistmenrs had expired. The latter were exempt ed and were allowed to return to Spain on the transport Alava. The native troops in the Spanish garrisons are in sad plight. They must ac- company the Spaniards or risk the rage of their own people.
