CLAIMANTS FILE OBJECTIONS.
Attorneys Oppose Motion to Dismiss
the Maine Claims.

Attorneys representing petitioners in
what are known as the Maine claims"
have filed with the Spanish Treaty Claims
Commission preliminary objections to the
motion of the Assistant Attorney Gener-
al TO dismiss. These claims are founded
on the loss of life and property caused
by the blowing up of the Maine, and the
Assistant Attorney Generals motion was
made at a hearing before the Commits
sion on May %.
In the objection Just filed to this mo-
tion it is held that all of the grounds
stated by the Assistant Attorney General
under the act creating the Commission
and under the rules formulated for its
procedures, are not such as empower the
Commission to consider a motion of the
Government to dismiss, but can be the
basis of a demurrer, or of an answer as
to fact.
The following additional claims were
fled with the Commission yesterday:
Claim No. AZ, Ricardo Machado. de-
struction of property by insurgent and
Spanish troops, $4,000.
Claim No 4S, Antonio A. Martinez, de-
struction OF property by Spanish troops,
