QUIET AT MANILA.
A Change for the better Since thu
Arrival of ReinfOrcenlents.

A Change for the better Since the
Arrival of Reinforcements.
Manila, March q. = The transport
Ohio has arrived. In the last two days
there has been a very noticeable
change fol-. the better. probably due to
the arrival of achievements for the
American troops. Numerous people
are seen on the streets and the amount
of business transacted in the stores
has maryelously increased. Outside
the city there was desultory firing
throughout yesterday. and ut various
points the sharpshooterss were most an
moving. At San Pedro Macati the
rebels are very active, erecting in
trenchments i'll front of the position
occupied by the Washington troops al
though a >two-gun battery Of the Sixth
artillery repeatedly shelled them.
The enemy are fully alive to the
fact that ,Mausers have a much longer
range than springfields, and are con
stantly taking .'pot shots" in COM
palative safety. The American SOL
diers dislike this passive resistance,
aud are eager for the excitement of an
active campaign. Despite the heat
the health of. the men in the trenches
has improved remarkably. X
The steamer Ell Caro- has arrived
from Iioilo with advices that I'LL is
quiet there and that business Is brisk.
The natives in the interior are levying
upon the supplies in the hands OF the
farmers and seriously interfering with
the work upon the plantations. j.

Letter From the Kansas and Nebraska
Delegates to Dauphln.
o5 Prince Albert, Sask.,
William McCreary. Esq, 1mmigra-
ton Commissioner. Winnipeg, Man:
Str-We, the undersigned delegates
from Kansas and Nebraska, U. S. A., in
reporting the results of our trip to
Dauphin. and subsequently to Regina,
Prince Albert and the middle Sas-
katchewan country, beg to say that our
tickets were limited to Fl days, and as
We had other large regions to visit. we
could only spend a short time in the
Oauphin country. We examined. how
over, the principal. cultivated areas IN
the southern parts Of township rs,
range 10, the great wheat fields Of Wis
hart, Buchanan, Owen, Smith, Ross,
Sinclair, the Whitmores, Drinkwaters.
ETC., and subsequently, others to the
north, and never, in our experience,
have we seen finer grain. The whole
country is watered by numerous
streams flowing from the slopes OF
Riding Mountain, and excellent we'll
water is found everywhere at from 3 to
IL feet. Extensive forests of spruce
and tamarack cover the northern parts
of the mountains. from which timber
is manufactured in Dauphia and else
where, and sold at $12 a thousand
ut the mills. Wild hops and wild fruits
are abundant, and ripen in the open
air. Vegetation throughout Is surpris-
ingly luxuriant, and without hesita-
ton we would rank the whole region
amongst the best grain growing areas
of the continent. The output Of wheat
last year was about $4,000 bushels, but
this year it is estimated at over a mill
lion. Westward lie tie homestead
lands which now, and when fresh sur
veys are completed, will afford COM
Portable homes to thousands OF dill
gent families. The great Gilbert
Plains, also, we were unable to visit,
where grain growing has been conduct
ed with the best results for years, and
which will become a vast wheat field
Is soon as a branch railway reaches
there. Settlement is speeding in all
these regions, reminding US indeed CT
the early days in our own states: and.
as we have examined, since our visit to
Dauphin, a portion of the great coun-
try lying south and east of Prince AL
bert, we can readily imagine the tide
of immigration which will soon flow
into the Canadian west.

IN FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF.
Supreme Court Decision Relating
to Lands in San Diego County.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The Su-
preme Court has handed down long
decision in the case of ]. Downey Har-
vey, administrator, and the Merchants
Exchange Bank of San Francisco
against Allejandro Barker and others
The defendants and appellants are
Pueblo or Mission Indians, living in
San Diego County, and they claim
title to certain lands on a possessory
right extending back unnumbered
years.
The plaintiff, representing the estate
of John G. Downey, claims title to
the property in dispute under Mexl-
can grant to Juan Jose Warner. The
Indians contend that this grant specl-
fed that their ancestors and their de-
scendants were not to be disturbed.
The Warner grant was approved by
the United States Government in lSSu.
and a patent issued therefor.
The court holds that the decision OF
the Land Commissioners of the United
States that the land in question was
at the time it was granted vacant ana
subject to absolute alienation is con-
elusive on the defendants and all 9TH
ers.
Justices Beatty. Mcfarland and Tenn
pie wrote dissenting opinions.

THE LOST VALISE FOUND
1t Contained Nearly Fifty Thous-
and Dollars in Bank Notes.

HONOLULU, Sept. 27 (via Victoria.
B. c., Oct. Ar. B. Banning, who LEFT
here August Both ON the steamship
Australia, lost a valise containing
nearly $4,000 in bank notes, bonds and
sugar stocks in the Occidental Hotel
just after he arrived in San Francisco.
The valise was shipped by mistake on
the Nippon Maru as part of the per-
sonal effects of Purser John p Iver.
The latter discovered the mistake be-
fore arriving here, and left the valise
on the Pacific Mail wharf He evil
IDENTIFY had no idea of the value of the
contents of the valise, as he made no
report to the steamship company's
agents, and the valise containing a
small fortune lay comparatively unpro-
tected among other uncalled for pack
ages, until advices received Yesterday
by the Belgian King resulted in a
search being made. The lost valise
was found intact
The steamers Maura and Kinau of
the Wilder Steamship Company have
salvage claim of about 81 900 against
the bark Colusa, which they hauled off
the reef near Kahuluai on the 24th. A
part of this will probably go to Cap
talns Mcdonald and Clark of the
Maura and kinau and their crews. The
Colusa carried a cargo worth about
SOOO0O, and is worth about 1000.
She went aground at dangerous point
about 800 yards from where the old
Leahi went to pieces. The Maura
worked to save her over thirteen hours.

from San Francisco on the morning of
the 18th. She resumed her voyage to
Manila the next day. The transport
Aztec arrived from the same port yes

CASE oF CAPTAIN CARTER.
Comes Up in Habeas Corpus Pro-
ceedings in u. S. Circuit Court.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4-Oberlin NJ
Carter, the former engineer Captain,
who is under sentence on a charge Of
conspiracy to defraud the Government
was taken from Governors Island to
the United States Circuit Court on a
writ of habeas corpus on his behalf
obtained last Monday. Judge Lacombe
was on the bench.
The army was represented at the
hearing by John w. Clous, Judge Ad-
vocate General of the Department of
the East; Colonel G. B. Davis of the
Judge Advocate Generals office, and
General Burkett, United States Dis
trict Attorney. Captain Carter was
represented by Abram J. Rose and L.
/. Kellogg.
Mr.. Rose, in opening for his client,
said there was no contention that the
court-martial which had tried the
charges against Carter had acted IL
legally on its finding in the charges.
In the sentence, however, it was
claimed the court had acted in excess
and beyond its jurisdiction, and con-
trary to law.
Colonel Clous. in reply, held that
action of court-martia1 cannot be re-
viewed by any civil court. He said
that the court-martial had power to
fix the sentence, and in the exercise of
such power the court had power under
the first charge to impose fine upon
Captain Carter. under the second
charge to sentence him to imprison-
ment, under the third charge to dis
miss him from the army, and under
the fourth charge to impose a sentence
of a fine or imprisonment, or both.
Counsel submitted briefs.
Judge Lacombe reserved decision on
the writ, and ordered Captain Carter
back to the custody of Captain Roberts
of Governors Island.

sequences Which Might BefalI

NEW YORK, Oct. A cable dis

from Caracas to the effect that Presi-
dent Andrade has engaged passage for
himself and family on the Red d line
steamer Philadelphia, which leaves La
Guayara on the 10th for Ponce, Porto
Rico and New York 1t is generally
believed he will go to Ponce.
If this dispatch is authentic it means
that President Andrade regards him
self defeated by the insurgents under
General Cipriano Castro, and will leave
the country to save himself
Latest advices received here say that
General Castro and his advance guard
are at Ell Vale, which is only three
miles from Caracas. General Castro.
however, has declared against entering
the Capital, as battle there would en-
tail the loss of the lives Of many disin-
tereSted persons. He wished. there
fore, to engage the Government troops
just outside the city. The latter, how
ever, show no disposition to meet the
rebels in decisive battle.
The revolutionary forces have been
augmented by the followers of General
Jose Manuel Hernandez, who is now in
prison in Caracas. Thus far the latter
have fought independently of the Cas-
tro forces.
General Samuel Acosta, one of Cen
eral Hernandez's leading officers, has
been appointed Military Governor of
the State of Carabobo, which has fallen
into rebel hands. General Acosta is the
person who killed President Crespo in

The record-union., 1899-10-05

PARIS, Oct. A representative OF
the Associated Press this evening had a
conversation with Justice Brewer of the
Supreme Court of the United States, re-
garding the award of the Anglo-Vene-
zuelan tribunal, from which it appears
that the deliberations of the court did
not proceed as smoothly and with the
spontaneous unanimity which a peru
sal of the award would lead one to be-
lieVe.
Justice Brewer, in reply to a cues
ton, said: Until the last moment l
believed an agreement would be impos-
sible, and it was by the greatest con-
centration and mutual concessions that
a compromise was arrived at. If any
of us had been asked to have given an
award, each would have given one diff
fering in extent and character. The
consequence of this was that we had
to adjust our different views, and
finally to draw a line running between
what each thought right
Being asked whether political consid-
erations influenced the award, the JUS
tice said he could net admit that, as
such an admission would reflect on the
Judges, but there was no doubt that
the present insurrection in Venezuela
and the consequent feeling of instabil-
ity weighed to a certain extent in the
balance
In reply to an inquiry as to what
questions separated the Judges, Justice
Brewer replied: Nearly every point.
In the first place, European lawyers
don't look upon the question of prior
rights resulting from rights of discov
cry in the same way as we do. Then
the question of the nature of control
and the extent of the influence and re-
lationship with the native races and
many such matters are not viewed in
the same manner on either side of the
Atlantic. In fact, the whole situation
is not so keenly appreciated by Euro
peans as it is by Americans
Replying to a query regarding the
deliberations within the court, Mr..
Brewer said that there was, properly
speaking, no casting of votes. Each
Judge conceded something in turn.
With regard to the proceedings in
open court, he said the hearing of argu-
ments might have been considerably
curtailed had the case been heard ex-
clusively by either an English or an
AMERICAN Dul Tic uQScS lI1OuS
it prudent to allow counsel full liberty
in order to make matters clearer to the
President, who, after all, was not a
lawyer.
Asked whether, according to his own
opinion, Venezuela was entitled to more
than she actually received Justice
Brewer, after some hesitation, shrug-
ged his shoulders and said he would
rather say nothing on that subject, and
concluded by remarking that whatever
these two parties might think of the
award, Venezuela received Barima
Point, which gives her full control of
the interior of her territory, and Eng
land is confirmed in the possession of
a territory in the development of which
she has spent considerable money and
energy, but "the principal blessing is
that the two nations can at least de-
velop peacefully side by side large
tracts of territory, which, owing to the
previous antagonism, have remained
unproduetiVe"
