STILL LAYING CABLES.
Government Not Barred By Concess-
ions to Spanish Company.

Washington, April 1.-THE cable ship
burnside is to continue laying cables in
the Philippines connecting Manila with
the islads. This decision revives in
terest in the protest of the Eastern Ca
bic company against the laying of cables
in the islands. This protest was consid
cred by the state, war and justice de-
partments of this government, and it
was determined, after an opinion by the
attorney general that the reservation
by the Spanish government, when it
granted the eastern extension company
exclusive rights in cable construction al
lowed the United States government to
continue it's cable connection. This res
ervation decided that the Spanish gov-
elnment could lay cable for state pur-
poses. AS the cable being laid by the
war department is for the use of military
authorities in governing the islands, it
was held that this meant state purpose"
in the Spanish concession. The conces-
sion was granted just before the Spanish
American war and runs 40 years.
1t is still an open question whether the
concession was covered by the Spanish
treaty. The extension company claims
it was While the company makes no
strenuous objections to the laying of ca
be for purely government purposes, it
has served notice that it would protest
emphatically should the cable be used
for commercial purposes. The company
offered to relinquish it's franchise upon
payment of $4,000 year for the life of
the grant. This proposition has not been
received with particular favor by the
United States authorities. Meanwhile
cable tolls are quite high, especially up
on messages sent from here to Manila,
the rate being $225 a word on mes
sages going to the Philippines. while the
rate is $1.79h on messages from Manila

What is believed to be one of the first
cases decided by jury in favor of the
payment of a gambling debt. disputed
on the ground of it's illegality. has been
disposed of in the city court before Chief
Judge Fitzsimmons. The jury gave a
verdict in favor of John Bradley on two
Il. O. US" given to him by Henry w.
lvison, a we'll known broker of this city,
one for $500 and the other for $500.
Mr.. Ivisop, while in st. Augustine, Fla.
on March &c. 1899, paid a visit to a gam
bling house kept by Bradley and lost
81. 900 at roulette. He gave his Il. O..
IT, but as he refused to pay, Bradley
placed the matter in the hands of his
counsel, A. H. Hummell
Mr.. Hummell put the Il. o. US" in
evidence, together with letter written
by Alexander Lamont. counsel for wi
son, saying that his client was desirous
of settling the matter without the trou.
BILE of going to court if short exten-
sion should be granted him.
Ivison on the stand admitted making
the notes, but insisted that they were
given to pay for his losses at roulette.
Mr.. Hummell asked. on cross examina-
ton, if he would not, have taken Brad
ley's money had he been winner, and
he confessed that he would. 1t took the
jury but a few minutes to find a verdict
against Tvison.

PEOPLE ANXIOUS TO LEARN

KNOWLEDGE.

Tutuila, March p, via San Francisco.
April l-(Correspondence of the Asso-
ciated Press.)-A census of the popula-
ton of the Samoan group has been
taken. The number of Samoans ir
Upolu and other islands under the Ger
man government is $1,000, while the pop
ulation of the six islands under the
United States government is returned
at $500. The very slightest increase dur
ing the last thirty years is about the
same in proportion all around. The III
fant mortality is greatest. and this is
due in a large measure to the ignOranc
and carelessness in dieting the young
1t is not unusual to see a mother feed
ing her infant from the mouth after she
has herself masticated the food intend
ed for the child. 1t is only since the
United states took possession that pc J.
pie have been able to receive medical
advice and treatment. With the SAM
tary laws now in force and the laws
concerning the health of the people gen
orally throughout the island, it is hoped
a considerable increase of the popuia-
ton.
Governor Tilley returned from New
Zealand on March IS. The natives
showed their delight at the governor $
return by giving number of feasts III
his honor.
Magisterial returns from all justices
have been sent into the high court of all
cases tried by magistrates up to the end
of last month. The reports Indicated
great improvement among the Samoans.
These statements, together with the reg
ular reports of the native governors and
other officials, are carefully prepared
and are models of neatness. The native
officers are not lacking altogether in ed
ucaton, but there is good opportunity
for the United States to assist them IN
their desire to obtain greater knowledge.

KRUGER KNOWS OF

New York, April 11.-A special dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
The report that General Botha has re-
opened peace negotiations lacks official
confirmation, although one correspond
ent in sending the news from Capetown
describes it as semi official. The fact,
however, that the telegram has been al
lowed to go over the wires by the mill
tary censor should not be taken as
guarantee of it's correctness. Only the
other day Mr.. Kruger secuted the idea
of peace without independence and as
serted passionately that his officers in
South Africa We're of his opinion: but
if there should be any truth in the re-
port of the revival of negotiations, it Is
clear that the ex-president must have
been misinfOrmed, for it must follow that
any idea of securing the independence of
the republics has been finally abandoned

General Botha does not find it easy to CO.
