SUIT AGAINST The SANTA FE.
Litigation to Cancel Land Patents Along
the Line In Central Kansas Means Much
to Innocent Purchasers.

Topeka, Kan, March 29.-The suit
brought recently by the government
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Ee Railroad company to cancel the
patents for lot of land along its
line in central Kansas means a great
deal to several hundred Kansas people.
If the government wins it is claimed
that innocent purchasers of about co.
900 acres of land will be dispossessed
of their homes. The litigation began
with the filing of petition in the
United States circuit court here by
John W. Griggs, attorney general of
the United States. The old Santa Fe
company, which controlled the road
before the receivership, is the de.
PENDANT. By an act of congress passed
in 1863 the road was given the odd
numbered sections of land for ten
miles on each side of the rlght-of-way.
1t provided that the governor should
examine the reports of the company
and recommend the issue of patents
from time to time as each ten miles
of track was completed. The patents
were then issued by direction of the
secretary of the interior.

and Chastised.

Washington, March 22.-The trans
fer from the military to the civil gov
ernment,in the Philippines is expected
to occur about June 30, according to
calculations made at the war depart
ment upon information received from
the Taft commission and Gen. Mac
Arthur 1t is known that even where
civil governments are being estab-
lished by the Philippine commission,
the military will be necessary for
some time to support the civil authori-
ties. 1t is the intention to withdraw
the military as far as possible and the
soldiers will be more of police than
military force. Wherever possible
native police will be organized.
The Philippine commission has not
definitely decided when to establish
provincial governments in the island
of Negroes. The civil government es-
tablished by Gen. Otis is still in opera
ton and fairly successful. The Negroes
government employees half dozen Of
fcers and an advisory council Of eight,
all elective. The military commander
has an absolute voice. Senior Sever
inc, the present civil governor, is not
popular and it is alleged that he is
un-American. Nevertheless the sys-
TEN is not criticised. The commission
prefers TO gather the sentiment of
the people of the island and then to
show reasons for organizing Negros
on lines similar to the organization of
other islands.
Marine Hospital Surgeon Perry,
quarantine officer for the Philippines,
has forwarded here an official report
on leprosy in the Philippines. He
says: 'Leprosy is widely prevalent
over the entire archipelago, but the

lands. 1t is quite prevalent in Cebu.

the Negotiations Between Lord kiteh-
ener aud Gen. Botha.
London, March 22.-The Daily
: Chronicle, protesting to be able to
give an outline Of the negotiations be-
tween Lord Kitchener and Gen. Botha,
says: The chief obstacle to a settle
ment was Lord Kitchener's refusal to
grant complete amnesty to the lead
ers of the rebels in Cape Colony. He
offered self-government on the lines
of Jamaica Immediately upon the ces-
sation Of hostilities, with Legislative
bodies partly elected by the burghers.
The government agreed to provide
f1,0O0,o0O to compensate the Beers
for property destroyed and articles
Communicated by the Beers on COM
mando, provided the signatures of the
officers who Communicated the goods
were forthcoming. He also offered to
grant loans on easy terms for rebuild
ing and restocking farmsteads. More
over, he agreed that children should
be instructed in English and Dutch
at the discretion of their parents.
The government undertook to make
no claim on church property or
funds or upon hospitals or hospital
funds or upon private investments.
No burgher of either state was to be
allowed to possess a rifle except by
special license.
Gen. Botha was generally in favor
of these conditions. but he dissented
strongly from a proposal to give the
full privilege of citizenship to prop
erly domiciled and registered blacks.
He was also greatly concerned about |
the position Jewish capitalists would
occupy in the country and was told
that Jews and Christians would enjoy
equal rights. no distinction being
