A Dispute as to the Ownership of As
phnlt Concessions

Washington, January 5.-SOlicitor
Penfield, of the state department today
heard General Francis Greene and Mr..
Bean, of New York, in reference to the
conflicting asphalt concessions in Ven
ezuela. These gentlemen represent the
New York and Bermudez Company,
which has been in possession of the as
phalt concessions for the past twelve
years, and whose property is now
claimed by LaFelicidad concessionaries
under later title from the Venezuelan
government. The argument was devot-
ed to showing that h action of the
Venezuelan government is seeking to
dispossess the New York company was
clared such by the supreme court of
Venezuela. 1t now was sought to ac-
complish by indirect means what that
court had forbidden to be done directly.
The solicitor of the department also
has heard arguments in behalf of La
Felicidad by Messrs. Warner, Quinlan
N Sullivan, strongly defending the
action of the Venezuelan government in
the premises. He will now take the
case under consideration with a view
to submitting a report and recommen-
dation on the subject to Secretary Hay.
Meanwhile, Minister Loomis at Cara

Havana, January 7.-R. B. HawIey,

southern part OF the island, reports
that tranquility and prosperity exist
there; that h people are satisfied with
the American government Of Cuba and
that no desire is expressed for an ex-

The proposed constitution Is not
meeting with a favorable reception.
The concensus OF opinion is that it is
involving too many govern
ments, assemblies, executives and other
unnecessary officials. Moreover. it Is
believed that such a scheme as is pro-
posed would mean AN enormous ex-
.pene. The feeling Is that great con-
fusion would inevitably follow the
adoption of federalism. Business men
fear the extortions of excessive gov

SAN JOSE COLLEGE CASE.
The Philippine Commission Provides
for Its Settlement In the Courts

Manila, January 5.-The decision OF
the Philippine commission in the San
Jose medical college cas unanimously
refers the settlement Of the questions
involved to the courts and provides
that the trustees, with the assistance
Of the attorney general Of the Philip
pines, shall inaugurate and prosecute
the litigation. The sum Of 5000 is APP
propriated for the expenses of the suit.
A bill has been passed carrying out
the terms of the decision. It appoints
five physicians as trustees, including
DR.. Tavera, who is the complainant
throughout, and Colonel Greenleaf. the
chief surgeon in the Philippines. The
trustees are required to begin a suit,
within a month, in the supreme court
of the Philippines to determine wheth-
er the ownership Of the college is in the
church or in the government. The Do
minican rector of ST. Thomas Uniyer-
sity n Archbishop Chappelle are re-
quired to defend the suit on the part of
church. The act provides that the de-
cision Of the Philippine court is not to
be so final as to make it impossible for
congress to provide for an appeal to
the United States court.

IMPORTANT TAX DECISION
Mississippi Gains the Suit Involving
SI,7OO, 900.

Washington, January THE United
State supreme court today decided a
number OF cases involving the right
|of the state of Mississippi to tax rail-
roads in that state. The roads in
volved were tine Yazoo and MISSISSIPPI
Ipi Valley Railroad Company and the
Illinois Central. In the general pro-
Iceedings against the Yazoo railroad, the
court held in an opinion by Justice
Brown that the road was not exempt
from taxation. The decision in the
Illinois Central case was to the effect
that the case involved a federal ques-

1855 to 1892. OF this sum, the state and

which the road runs Will receive 30
pr cent. n the revenue agent n

total involved about 81, 700, 900. The
charters granted to the various
branches of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley road carried exemption of taxa

lieutenant governor, and his name be
