the Interior James A. King, Mrs. Char
lotte D. King. yesterday petitione.i
the First Circuit Court for an order
compelling the guardian of the minor
children, ]. Lightfoot, to pay a greater
sum for the support of the children
than he has been paying. alleging
that she has only been able to get an
allowance of IS month for each child
and that this sum is not enough to
support the children. There are five
children.
The petition goes on to state that
King left an estate valued at $4,000.
Mrs. King alleges that notwith-
standing the fact that she has asked
for larger allowance on numerous
occasions she has been unable to get
any more than IS a month. She
says, also. that the property. some of
ii is real estate and is lying idle. does
not bring in as much as it should.
Mrs. King has been obliged to take
money of her own for the support of
the children. She has been i'll OF late
and expenses have been great.
The petitioner asks that the court
order Lightfoot to make some leases
Of the property and to zap $50 a
month for each minor. or $3.50 a
month in all, out OF the estate.

Supreme Court Decision.

A decision vas rendered yesterday
morning by the Supreme Court in the
case OF the Waikiki Sugar Company
IS. Claus Spreekels and the Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company. in
which the order Of the Second Circuit
Court was sustained and the Appeals
brought by both sides were dismissed.
The action was commenced in 1897
for the acquisition of a right OF way
for a wateTpipe and fiume at Waikiki.
Property involved belonging TO
Spreckels was decided to the Hawaii
an Commercial and Sugar Company
and the court dismissed the case as
far as Spreckels was concerned. The
plaintiff appealed from the order of
dismissal. The defendant corporation
appealed from a decree. signed by
stipulation subject to the right of ap-
peal. granting plaintiff the disputed
right of way and assessing damages
of $500
After reviewing the court proceed
ings and finding an error in not sub
shutting the corporation for Spreck-
els instead of dismissing the action
as to the latter. holding. however. that
such error did not affect the case, the
decision concludes as follows:
We have considered only the ques-
tons raised by the parties and not
certain other questions which natural
ly suggest themselves but which we
are led to believe the parties have in
tentionally omitted TO raise.
"The defendants appeal is dismiss
ed. The plaintiff states that it does
not care to press its appeal in case
the defendants appeal is not sustain.
ed. Its appeal also is dismissed on
the ground that the order appealed
from was not prejudicial to it, in view
of the final decree in IT'S favor

= lombian Minister OF War. ~
WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-The Co
lombian Legation had no news today
10 confirm the press report Of a new
Colombian invasion of Venezuela. /
Mr. Herrau. the first secretary OF
Legation. who is in charge during DR..
Silva's absence. said the point at
which an invasion is now feared is
near the border land in the vicinity OF
Meta river. south of the Lake OF Ma
racaibo Herran is expecting almost
hourly to hear from the Colombian
Consul-General at New York, and also
hopes for some news to shed light
on the situation on the isthmus from
the incoming Colombian mail, which
is expected soon TO arrive
Herran discussed generally the abil-
ity Of Colombia to cope with an
actual war with Venezuela. He point
ed out that Colombia has population
of 100000, against the 100000 of
Venezuela. and an army OF about 40
600 men, who have been for the most
part in active service against reyo
lutionary bands for the last year
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Just before

battle-ship viii be dispatched to Pa
mama in case the State Department
requests the presence of a war ship
on the Pacific side of the isthmus.
WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-At the
Navy Department today it was de,
-ided to send the battle ship Wiscon-
sin down to San Diego, Cal, in case
the desirability of that move became
| evident by the time she reached San
Francisco, and the State Department
was 20 advised. There was some com
ment also as TO the possibility of send
ing down some Of the ships of the
North Atlantic squadron, but Acting
Secretary Hackett treated the sugges-
tons as rather premature. There is
10 doubt, however, that an ample force
will be sent from the squadron If its
presence seems desirable.
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 9.-The United
States cruiser Ranger. now at this
port, will probably leave for Panama
