IOWA LAND CASE.
Decision Involving Title to Vast
Amount of PROPERTY

DUBUQUE, Ia, July 3.-Judge shiras,
of the federal court, today decided the
famous O'Brien county, Iowa, land case
by ruling that title in the disputed land
is vested in innocent purchasers.
The land grant was given the Sioux
City & Pacific railway, conditioned on
the construction Of the road into Mime
sofa, but building was stopped at Le-
mars. The road sold much to settlers,
but its failure to extend forfeited the
grant. The court so decided, the United
States supreme court sustaining the de-
cision. The lands were reopenel and
settlers went in and seized property
purchased from the railway. After
many years of litigation the court now
enters & decree holding that the original
purchasers are entitled to reGal1 land oc-
cupied by them. TIE decision involves
title to 10000 acres of land in Iowa.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July S-An in
crease in the number of new cases of
yellow fever and a decrease in the death
rate are the striking features of the sit
uation. There have been ninety-four
cases up to date, of which seventeen
have proved fatal. Eleven out of the
first fifteen attacked succumbed to the
disease. Nearly all were camp fol-
lowers. Eliminating these the death
rate has really been small.
Today the medical corps was reinforced
by several doctors from Havana. The
fever hospital, which is on an island
across the bay, Is finely equipped. There
is no finer medical corps in the city.
The final payment of the Cuban troops
has been altered, owing to the proximity
of the disease and Aug. has been fixed
upon as a probably available date. ALL

with first. Twelve hundred Cubans have
registered at ManzaniIlo, where payment
began today, at ratio in excess of that
originally estimated as necessary.

Cares for Her Husband.
PARIS. July S.-There has been re-
4narkabIe revulsion of public feeling here,
and throughout France, with reference to
preYsNs. The acquittal of the prisoner
now seems assured, and with it the pros
ecution of the men who sent him into
Punishment. No steps in that direction
will be taken until after the trial of
the famous prisoner, but then there will
be a reckoning among the army officers
who have had hand in the Dreyfus af-
fair
Nine. Dreyfus, 1t is asserted here, is not
only permitted to see her husband but
is allowed to attend personally to the
preparation of his meals. His memoirs,
which he wrote on DEVILS island, were
left there, but they will be forwarded to
the government with his other effects.
There is a good deal of comment upon
a speech made yesterday by Paul de
Roulede, founder of the League of Pa
triots, and long known as one of the
most violent opponents of revision. M. de
Roulede said, in substance, that If Drey-
fus should be found innocent by the new
court-martial mo punishment would be
sufficiently heavy; no pillory sufficiently
infamous, for all the ministers, civil and
military, who were responsible for his
conviction, and no honors high enough

FEARFUL FATE OF

was that of the little son of Thomas w.

James Owens, the engineer, of the gas

fire and rushed in to do what they could
to extinguish the flames. On looking into

along the side of an oil barrel they saw
the body of a child, burned beyond recog-

Y. M. C. AS FORTY
SIXTH ANNIVERSARY
APPROPRIATE EXERCISES HELD
IN ASSOCIATION HALL.
President John j. Valentine Tells Of
the Good Work Done in the
Past Year by the Chris
tian Workers.

The forty-sixth anniversary Of the Y.
M Z. A. of San Francisco was observed
with appropriate exercises in the associa
ton auditorium at the corner of Mason
and Ellis streets yesterday afternoon. The
large hall was well filled and the audience
listened attentively to the addresses of
the speakers and joined heartily in the
singing of the choruses.
The Knickerbocker quartet furnished
excellent vocal music and among the
speakers were Rev. Dr. A. N. Carson
Rev DR.. John A. B. Wilson, President
John ]. Valentine and Rev. Dr. E. r.
Ollie.
In his review of the work of the assocf-
alton for the year ending December 81
1898, President Valentine declared that in
many respects the past year had been the
most remarkable in it's history. He said
the receipts had exceeded expenditures
and although the excess on the credit side
of the ledger, was small, it was neverthe-
less extremely gratifying. The member
ship is large and interest in the work is
constantly expanding. The association
never had stronger hold on the young
peratively needed in the community than
to-day. The speaker referred to the work
among the railroad men and commercial
travellers, in the colleges and in the army
and navy. Speaking of the latter he said:
The association was in touch with every
regiment organized, and it's representa-
tives-paid agents-went to the front with
every army corps and with every naval
expedition as we'll"
The total liabilities of the association
now amount to 1902 1872 70, with assets
$100, 775 rs. leaving the total net indebted
ness SOL ,716 95. President Valentine ex-
pressed the hope that during the present
year sufficient interest might be aroused
in the great city of San Francisco to in
duce its well-to-do citizens to discharge
the entire indebtedness of the association.
There is no doubt of the prosperous con-
dition of the association, as the report of
the general secretary shows that notwith-
standing the great number that have left
the city in the past year to go to the
Klondke or enter the army or navy, its
rolls are well filled and new members are
being received at the rate of about 100
month.
The anniversary address was delivered
by DR.. Ollie. He spoke on Young Man
hood-Its Peril and Rescue" and he
handled his subject with rare tact and
eloquence, dilating on the dangers which
beset the path of the youth and urging
the necessity of providing proper safe
guards to protect them from temptation.

THE FAMILY ALL AT DINNER
ENTRANCE EFFECTED THROUGH
AN OPEN WINDOW.

A daring burglar broke into the home Of
Marcus H. Hecht, 200 Washington street,
early Saturday evening, and is now richer
to the extent of handsome Etruscan
gold watch, three valuable rings and IS in
silver. The estimated value Of the haul is
between $500 and $500.
According to the belief of the family the
burglary was committed between and 8
o'clock Saturday night. The watch
which is of special value on account of it's
rare novelty and artistic beauty, was in
the possession of Miss Grace Hecht as
late as quarter to on the night of the
burglary. A half-hour later her maid dis
covered it's absence, but thinking that it
had been locked u by her mistress, made
no mention of this fact at the time. Miss
Hecht left the house at z, went to the
theater and upon her return it was -
first discovered that the house had been
burglarized.
The burglar operated while the family
was at dinner a and was evidently stopped
GAS p. m.,. but one Of the purses, the con-
tents of which were appropriated by the
burglar, was not placed within his reach
until half-hour later. He evidently in
yaded the premises, took the watch, Sc
GREETED himself until the family left the
house for the theater, and then finished
his work
The entrance was effected by means of
an open window on the west side of the
house. The burglar then worked his way
down to the cellar, the doors of which. or
dinarily locked, were found open. From
the rear of the cellar is staircase which
leads directly to the second floor of the
apartments are located. Miss Grace
Hecht's room was thoroughly explored
by the burglar and it is her property
which was taken The only other room
visited by the housebreaker was that in
the front of the house on the other side
of Mrs. Hechts room. 1t is a singular
thing that the burglar ignored the middle
room, in which some valuable jewelry
was lying about.
No sounds were heard. either by the
family or the servants, during the hours
when the robbery is supposed to have
been committed There were three SER
wants in the house during the entire even
noticed by them.
The silver ornaments and articles Of a
similar nature which are fairly strewn
about both the rified rooms We're left in
tact. The police are now working on the
