FOR NAVAL STATION AT CAvITE
Admiral Dewey and Secretary Loni
t.IaGstl.- niscx,as IEcoSiI,iIitx:

Admiral Dewey and Secretary Long
Earnestly Discuss Its Feasibility.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-Admiral Dewey
called at the, Navy department today in re-
sponse to a request from Secretary Long, tc
discuss the question Of establishing a naval
station at Cavite or ether point near Ma
nila. Such station Is now in operation at
Cavite, but 1t is foreseen that the require
ments of the navy may be much greater than
those which are temporarily attended to at
Cavite. The admiral brought with him por-
tons of his report to be incorporated in the
full report of the Philippine commission.
This discusses the establishment of a per-
manent naval station in the Philippines at
Subic bay, sixteen miles from Manila as
preferable to, Cavlte as there is a fine harbor
of capable depth of water and many ma
tural advantages for making this a strong
naval establishment.
While Admiral Dewey's view will doubt
less prevail when permanent station is
established, this will be for congress to deal
with, and the present purpose is to utilize
the Cavite station for the current work on
the war ships. Rear Admiral Gillis name
has been mentioned as commander of the
Cavite station. He was at the department
today and conferred with Secretary Long on
the subject, but the impression prevails that
one OF the younger officers will be chosen.

the winner in the neighborhood of $1,000.
One stake for ,S-year-olds will close on

the local association. 1t is the Turf Con-
gress sweepstakes, which has $1,000 added,

Majority, That It Is Con.
g. atftutiOnal, '.te-5-]aa :, --sf

WASHINGTON. April lin the United
States supreme court to-day Justice Brew
er announced the opinion of the court in
the case of the Atchison, Topeka 8, Santa
Fe railroad VS.. Matthews & Truedell. The
case came to the supreme court on writ
of error from the supreme court of Kan
sas and involved the validity of the act of
the Kansas legislature allowing the col
lection of attorneys fees from railroad
companies in suits brought against them
for damages by fire and in which ii is
proved that the fire was the result Of the
negligence of the companies. The state
court affirmed the validity of the act and
the opinion of Justice Brewer handed down
to-day sustained that decision.
The decision was reached by bare ma
jority of the court. Justices Harlan, Brown,
Peckham and McKenpa dissenting. Justice
Brewer, in his opinion, held that the statute
must be affirmed on tHe ground that Its
purpose Is not to compel the payment of
debts. but to secure the utmost care on
the part Of railroad companies to prevent
the escape of fire from moving trains. The
protect the state against this destructive
agency and thereby subserve the general
interest.
The ground of the dissenting opinion,
read by Justice Harlan, was that the real
question involved was the right of b state
to compel a railroad company to pay the
fees of attorneys for plaintiffs in damage
suits. 1t denied this right as discrimina-
tion against a certain class and denial of
the equal rights guaranteed by the consti-
tuition.

Manila Surprises Her
Mother.

Topeka, April I.-(Special.) Miss Olivia
O'Brien. the Topeka society girl who has
been with the United States troops in the
Philippines, arrived home to-day, to the
great surprise of her mother. The last let
ter Mrs. OBrien received from her daugh-
ter last week did rot say word about
coming home. This threw her off her
guard completely. She thought Miss
O'Brien was at Manila caring for the sick
and wounded soldiers.
Miss O'Brien is in perfect health and
shows no effect of her stay in the tropical
climate of the Philippines or her arduous
work in the hospital. Her duties as a
nurse made her a devotee of that vocation,
and she says she would gladly have re-
mained until the end of the war had she
not felt it her duty to return.
Miss O'Brien saw none of the active fight
ing, and she is provoked at the reports that
she passed cartridges to the soldiers on the
firing line. II didn't go near the firing

INDIANS OFF FOR MEXICO.
Five Thousand CherOkees, Creeks and

New Homes.

GUTHRIE, o. T.. April 17.-(Special.)
Five thousand Indians who are dissatisfied
with conditions existing in the reservations
of the Indian Territory have left in body
for Mexico, to establish a union reservation
on large tract of land near Guadalajara,
according to reports received here to-day.
They belong to the Cherokee. Creek and
Delaware tribes. The emigrants are said
20 have a capital of $425.vO0 and expect fur
ther additions to their colony after they
have organized their settlement.
The self-expatriated redmen declared that
they had tired of having white people COME
into their territory, and thar, in their new
reservation. no indication of civilizing in
fuences will be tolerated. Indians in the
settlements near Arapahoe also have ex-
pressed their displeasure at the inroads
made by the whites. 1t is charged that
allotments in this camp were leased for
the month of last July at the rate of s.
per quarter section, the white cattlemen
agreeing to pay reasonable damages for
any crops destroyed by their stock. The
Indians claim that their crops were almost
totally DESTROYED and that. although they
receive a cent for damages. In their Mex
lean settlement, the reds hope to enjoy the
freedom Of the original American.

opening of the Creek land Office and the
rapid selection of the public domain by the
citizens of the Creek nation seem to in

half the Creek population has already ap-

reason. Over in the Cherokee nation the
