is the great advance in the social con-

Important Decision Handed Down in
NeeIey Case.
SETTLED BY SUPREME COyR~.
Il Holds That Medley is Subject TO
Extradition and Must be Tried in
Cuba.

Washington. d. c., SpeciaI.-The
United States Supreme Court has an
nounced its decision in the case OF c.

with embezzlement CT the public funds
of Cuba while acting as financial agen-
of the Department OF Posts. of that IS
land, holding that Medley is subject TO
eXtraditiOn and must be surrendered
to the Cuban authorities The court
held that Cuba is foreign territory. our
being to free Cubans from Spanish
domination. The decision was based
upon the act of June 6. 1890, which act
was held to be constitutional. Justice
Harlan handed down the courts
opinion, which was unanimous. Imme-
diately an order was issued requiring
that the mandate in the case be issued
at once
The opinion embraced complete re-
view of the case. Justice harlan said
that there was no dispute that on the
9Th of June, 1900, when the act under
which this proceeding is brought be
came a law. Cuba was under the con
troll Of the United States and occupied
by this government.
The court said the question Of
Cuba'S status was not difficult of So
luton and cited successive steps in
and affecting the case. 1t said: The
facts above detailed make it clear that
Cuba is foreign territory within the
meaning of the act Of June s, 1900. 1t
cannot be regarded in any COnstitu-
tiOnaI. legal or international sense, a
part of the trifus. While by the act OF
April %, 1898, declaring war between
this country and Spain, the President
was directed and empOw cred to use
our eutire land and naval forces, as
we'll tas the militia of the several
States to such extent as was neces-
sary to carry the act into effect, that
auth OrizatiOn was not for the purpose
Of making Cuba an integral part OF
the United States, but for the purpose
only of compelling the REIMBURSEMENT
by Spain of it's authority and govern
sment in that island, and withdrawal
Of its forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters. The legislative and executive
branches of the government by the
jointIesolutiOn of 4-pril 20, 1898, ex-
press1y disclaimed any purpose 10
exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction Or
controa over Cuba, except for the
pacffcation thereof" and asserted the
determination OK the United States,
that object beihg accomplished, to
leave the government and control of
Cuba to it's own people. All that has
been done in relationtto Cuba has had
that end in view, and So far as the
court is Informed by the pNlblic history
of the relations of this country with
that island, nothing has bean done in
consistent with the declared tSbject OK
the war with Spain.
