BY SUPREME COURT
Three Opinions Adjudicating Con-
f1icts in New Mexico and
Arizona

WASHINGTON, Oct 30.-In the United
States Supreme Court to-day an opinion
was handed down by Justice Brown in the
case of the appeal of the United States
from the decision of the Court of Private
Land Claims in the case of the Cuya-
rnunpa land grant, situated in Santa Fe
County. New Mexico. The land court de-
cided that the title to the grant was
nronerly held by Maria de la Paz de Con-
wav and associates, and declined to ex-
cent in the decree lands covered by pat
ents issued to Pueblo Indians covering a
large portion of the grant. The decision
rendered to-day holds that these lands
should have been excepted, and accord
ingly reversed the opinion of the lower
court.

claim of the town of Real de Dolores del

firming the decision of the Court of Pri-
vate Land Claims. In this case the SUI
nreme Court found that the land in con-
froyersy was included in the Ortez mine
grant and that the appellants were with
out legal redress.
The court, in an opinion by Justice
GRAY. reversed the decision Of the SUI
prenne Court Of Arizona in a case involy-
ing title to the Sonvito grant in Arizona
This title was at issue between Santiago
Ainsa and the New Mexican and Arizona
Railroad Company. The reversal was
based on the ruling of the court below
that the case could not be tried in the
ordinary courts.

CUBAN FARMERS
WANT A TARIFF
Ask That a Duty Be
Placed on Corn.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HAVANA, Oct. Ex-Governor General
Brooke has received a petition signed by
a number of Cuban farmers urging pro-
lection against American corn. The
farmers say they have no money to buy
machinery. but have to plant by hand.
and to carry their produce on their backs
to where they obtain little for 1t, owing
to the fact that there is scarcely any
duty on foreign grain. The petition goes
on to say that this condition greatly han
dicaps the Cubans in their attempts to
recover a degree of their former pros
perity
Incidentally the farmers protest against
the protective duties on oil, alleging that
these are in force solely to protect one
American refinery, whereas protective
duty on corn would mean the welfare
of thousands of small farmers, whose
only source of revenue is what they make
by growing corn

FRIARS BANlSHED FROM
THE ISLAND OF GUAM

WASHINGTON, Oct 30.-The Navy De-
partment has received a report from Cap
tain Leary, the naval Governor of the
island of Guam, in the Ladrones, which
has excited a good deal of interest among
the officials to whom it has been exhib-
tied The President himself has read the
report, his interest being particularly at
tracted by the disclosure of the fact that
the first American Governor of the ISL
and has been obliged to adopt heroic
measures to insure a proper administra>
ton of affairs there Captain Leary soon
learned that his authority as Governor
was being subverted and every one of
the measures of reform which he pro-
posed was being defeated by the hostile
influence of the friars. They resisted
every decree, no matter Of what charac-
ter, from spirit of intense conserva-
tism, and belief that any disturbance
of the order of things which had gov
erned the island for many years would
cause them to lose their hold upon the
natives.
After exhausting all other means to
overcome this influence. Captain Leary
reports that he was obliged to notify a
half dozen of the friars that they might
have free transportation away from
Guam and he should expect them to avail
themselves of the offer. That left but
one friar on the island, and be was
man whose character and reputation were
such as to convince Captain Leary of his
fitness to remain.

QUANTITY OF STORES
TO BE SENT TO GUAM

Now the Navy Department is not un-
mindful of the needs and necessities of
the island of Guam is evidenced by the
fact that yesterday noon bids were
opened at the United States Navy Pay
Office in this city for large quantity of
stores for Captain Leary. The supplies
will be shipped to Guam by the United
States steamship Solace, which is now at
Mare Island rapidly preparing for sea
and getting stores aboard. Her destina-
ton is Manila, but she will drop in at

bought complete sawmlll outfit, con-
sisting of boiler, engine and carriage. and

to the natives when in working order
The Solace is scheduled to leave about the

SUNK IN COLLISION
Disaster in Which Several Passen=
gers Are Believed TO Have
Lost, Their Lives.

NEW YORK, Oct. S1.-The Pennsyl-
vania ferry boat Chicago. plying between
Jersey City and New York, was cut in
two by the steamer City Of Augusta Ct
the Savannah Steamship line at 1886 this
(Tuesday) morning on the New York side
Of North River She went down in seven
or eight minutes. There were between
thirty and forty persons aboard, four be-
ing women. 1t is supposed several were
drowned. though there is no positive proof
of this assertion.
In spite of the severity Of the accident
there was no panic. Most Of the pas
sengers were on the upper deck and only
a half dozen persons were on the lower
deck Nearly all Of them managed to
obtain life preservers. Some who could
not obtain them, about half dozen in
number, swan ashore.
The five or six persons who started
from the lower deck assisted each other
in getting ashore. One or two were with
out life preservers but they all aided
one another and succeeded in getting to
the pier safely.
There was considerable shouting for
help, those on the boat calling for small
boats to come to their assistance. No
small boats were launched, however
probably owing to the brief time which
elapsed between the collision and the
sinking.

FILIPINO LADRONES
AND CHINESE FIGHT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Recent mail
advices from Manila show the existence
OF much uneasiness among the Chinese
residents Of the city and suburbs due to
repeated riotous conflicts between the ma
tive FiIipinos and the Chinese. One Of
the sources of friction appears to be the
displacement Of Chinese laborers for FIJI
ipinos on a considerable amount Of Gov
ernment work The transportation quar-
termaster general discharged 200 Chinese
and filed their places with Filipinos, most
of them Macabebes, brought from the
interior. The discharge Of the Chinese is
said 10 be due to their unWillingness to
be shifted to various points where the
emergency work was TO be done. In the
suburbs Of Binondo a party Of Chinese
was attacked by native Ladrones and a
pitched battle ensued, one of the Chinese
being killed and several others wounded.

PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
BEGINS ITS SITTING

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3o.-The Philippine
Commission held its first meeting at the
quarters selected for it in the Arlington
to-day. Professor Schurmann, for whose
arrival the other members have been
waiting, reached Washington this morn
ing and paid an early call at the state
Department, after which he went to the
commissions s rooms, where Admiral Dew
ey and Colonel DENLY were waiting.
Professor Worcester was the last to ar
rive and the commission sat down to
business soon after 10 o'clock. 1t was
announced before the meeting that all
the sessions would be secret and that none
of the deliberations would be made pub
lie until the commission had finished It's
labors. Colonel Denby said no programme
had been arranged and 1t was impossible
to say even what general course would
be followed until after the commissioners
had discussed the matter.
The commission reorganiZed its clerical
force and roughly blocked out the form
of its report. There is a mass of material
on hand and a good part of the report is
already written 1t was said after the
meeting that it was too soon to say how
long the work in hand would take, but
the suggestion was made by one member
that it would be a matter of some weeks,
but not much longer. The commission
will meet daily from 10 until l o'clock.

accident, while the ferry boat Chicago
was headed straight across from the New
Jersey shore for the New York slip. The
City of Augusta stopped after the acci-
dent, but apparently no boats were
launched, and in the brief space of time
which elapsed nothing was done to assist
those in the water.
Estimates made by the persons who
succeeded in escaping differ very widely,
some thinking it possible that at least a
score OF persons were drawn into the
Whlrling vortex as the ferry boat sank
Ihe steamboat Squad, few minutes be-

supposed, is that of one of the passengers
on the ferry boat, drowned as the result
of the collision.

SEEK TO CONTROL
SOUTHERN OIL FIELDS
Various Large Investments Recently
Made by Capitalists From San
Francisco

LOS ANGELES, Oct 3O.-San Francisco
capital, If investments that are now in
contemplation are realized, will dominate
the local oil field as well as the streetcar
system. During the past week northern
capital has purchased the fourteen wells
belonging to the Yukon Oil Company The
wells purchased are among the steady
producers and have a registered capacity
of 5000 barrels a month. 1t is reported
that the same company is negotiating
with the Rex Oil Company for its sixty
wells. Producers are strongly inclined to
believe that an effort is being made to
corner the Los Angeles field. This would
be no impossible task, and once accom-
plished would make possible almost any
price on local oil and a profit almost
fabulous.
The Hearst estate has purchased the
controlling interest in the Garfield and
Chanslor Company of Coalinga The price
paid for thirty-five shares in the company
is said to be $4,000.
The Santa Fe Company has a flowing
well at Fullerton steadily producing $50
barrels of oil daily. The Lotus gusher
in this field is flowing about 16O barrels.
There Is g. bear tendency in the market
now, oil being sold during the week as low
as 81 05 barrel
