Protest Against Diminishing Claims of
MCCnnn and RUrna.

The attorneys for the claims cases of
McCann and Burns before the Spanish
claims commission have entered a protest
to the motion made few days ago by
VIM. E. Fuller, attorney general to the
commission, to throw out the cases on the
ground that they had been adjudcated in
the courts of the United States and had
no place before the commission. These are
the claims based on the destruction Of the
battle ship Maine, the contention being
that Spain caused the destruction, and that
this country is therefore responsible for
the damages that Spain would have had to
pay. The attorneys for the claimants make
objection to the motion to dismiss the
ground that the attorney general of the
commission can only file demurrer an
answer under the rules of the commission,
and that his motion to dismiss is in the
nature of an answer, and cannot be made
the basis of a motion to dismiss. The
commission will consider the various mo-
tionS al an early date.
Fifteen claims We're filed today with the
commission behalf of survivors of the
Maine disaster and the families of victims.
The aggregate of damages asked Is S210,-
600 the sum for injuries to each of three
survivors being placed at $10,ES, and that
for each of twelve families of those who
periShed at $20,00.

NO CHANCE FOR JOHNSON.
Ohio Democratic Committee Strong
for Col. kilbOurne.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS Ohio, May 29.-The meeting
of the democratic state central committee
yesterday demonstrated that the Mclean
kibourne combination is in complete con-
troll of the situation. and easily victors
in the questions before the committee that
they could afford to be magnanimous to-
ward the Tom Johnson faction. The chief
action taken was the removal of the state
convention from Johnson's city, Cleveland,
to Columbus Kilbournes city. This was
done by vote of II to 10, but Columbus
could have had at least four more votes If
it had been necessary. July and 10 is
the date. This done, the honor of pcesid-
ing over the convention as its temporary
chairman was given to JOhnsonS chief rep
resentative in the meeting, Charles =. Sa
lem of Cleveland. Proceeding further with
the distribution of honOrs, the temporary
secretaryship was given to n. ID. Coch-
rane of Toledo.
Kilbournes nomination for governor is
now generally conceded. The convention
will nominate no one for United States
senator. This is as Mr.. Mclean wishes it.
and means that he will be the candidate
in case the legislature is democratic. Tom
L. johnson is expected to make fight to
get his socialstic theories in the state plat
form but he is doomed to defeat in this.
The committee showed no fear of him
when il fixed BryanS vote instead of that
for governor two years ago as the basis
of representation. thus giving Cuyahoga
county seventy-tive instead of fifteen votes
in the convention.

LITTLE EFFECT UPON HAWAII.
Delegate Wilcox Comments on the
Suureme Courts Decisions.

Delegate Wilcox of Hawaii, who is now
in this city, SAYS that the decision of the
United States Supreme Court. so far as 1T
relates to revenue matters, Will have little
effect upon Hawaii, Congress had al
ready done away with the payment of
duties on goods passing between the ISL
ands and the United States. The decision
is effective only on the duties assessed he
fore the act of Congress. and as these COW
cred only brief period not much money
is involved.
Mr. Wilcox has just returned from Ha
waii. and is interesting himself in several
questions regarding the island. One of
these relates to the large extent of public
lands and he has suggested to the In
terror Department that a commission 40
to Hawaii to study the situation and re-
port the outlines Of a law for the next
meeting of Congress. He has also called
the attention of the Post Office Department
to the unsatisfactory post office service at
Honolulu. This does not involve any per-
sonal reflection on the officials. but only
that the service is not efficient as might
be expected under American administra-
tion
Delegate Wilcox went to the War De-
partment to secure extension OF time
for the examination for Clarence X. Ly-
man OF Honolulu. the first native Hawaiian
to be nominated for West Point. Young
Lyman was recommended for his good
standing in the schools of Hawaii His
father was an American and his mother a
