for Cabanatuan, seventeens miles north of
San Isidro, drove force of rebels from
the trenches near Tuboatin River and

CANNOT FORCE A TOWN
TO GRANT A LICENSE
Judge Buckles Renders an Important
Decision in the Vieira License


SUISUN, Oct. 27.-Judge Buckles has
rendered an important decision regarding
ordinances governing the issuance Of
liquor licenses in municipal corporations
of the sixth class. Joseph Vieira is a res
ident Of Rio Vista and asked the court to
grant him writ TO command the Town
Clerk and Town Marshal to issue to MIN q
license to sell spirituous, malt or ferment-
ed liquors within said town in less guam
titles than one pint The officers refused
to grant the license, as the petitioner had
not complied with a certain town ordi-
nance, which required any person desir-
Gus of conducting a saloon 10 present a
petition to the Board of Town Trustees
signed by twelve resident freeholders re-
siding upon the street on which the saloon
IS proposed to be opened.
Vieira made no effort TO comply with
the ordinance. There were not twelve
resident freeholders residing upon the
street Vieira claimed this portion Of the
ordinance was unreasonable and oppress-
i've and void.
Judge Buckles said: "Our courts have
held in effect that the sale of Intoxicating
liquors is not to be classed as the sale of
useful and beneficial commodities, but that
their sale may be prohibited. Rio vista
could by ordinance prohibit the sale of In
toxicating liquors within the corporate
limits Of the town. There is no inherent
right in any citizen to sell liquor by re-
tail. The petitioner was not entitled to
the writ sued for and a demurrer against
the same is sustained

HAVANA, Oct 27.-General Rios Riv-
iera, former Civil Governor of the prov
ince of Havana, whose withdrawal from
the Governorship was cabled last evening
as resignation, denies that he has re-
signed. He says he was dismissed and
that he does not know upon what grounds
the dismissal was ordered. He admits
that he recently remarked that he would
resign in the event that at least one out
Of three nominations he had made to pub

Riviera, sent for the latter's resignation,
which was refused.
preached regarding the matter to-day,
said he preferred that any explanation
should be made by General Riviera him
self. Senor Capote asserts that he re-
quested General Riviera to resign because
he was an obstructionist and out Of har-
mony with the administration, and that
General Riviera replied that he would
decided upon Immediately. There was no
objection, according to the Secretary of
State, to General Riviera holding certain
views as private individual, but as a
subordinate it was the duty of General
Riviera to carry out instructions and not
to make himself an obstacle. There was
no other way to solve the problem, said
Senior Capote.
La Lucha,> referring to the dismissal,
says: The sole cause was the refusal of
General Riviera to allow cock-fghttng, his
course in this respect being contrary to a
previous order emanating from Senior Ca
pote permitting it,
La Discussion says: "The occurrence
shows the lamentable lack of harmony
between prominent Cubans occupying
leading positions. The Government must
have had exceptional reasons for dismiss
ing such prominent man"

send a man-of-war to Colombian waters,

either to Cartagena or Colon, probably
the former, which is the sea terminus of

This railroad was built and is owned

according to the latest prophecy, may be
executed before Christmas. Persons who
assume to be we'll informed insist that he
will step out Immediately IN pursuance
of an arrangement which will change the
whole face of Republican politics in IL
linois. The story, as widely circulated
yesterday, runs to this effect:
Senator Mason will resign in a few
weeks to take high-salaried legal posi-
tion-$12,O0O or more a year-with one of
the biggest corporations in the country,
having headquarters in Chicago. Governor
Tanner will then resign and Lieutenant
Governor Northcott, on succeeding to the
Governorship, will appoint Tanner to the
vacant Senatorship. With Tanner thus
