The Nicely Case.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE most no.
table decision in the Supreme Court this
morning was that OF the Nicely case.
Justice Harlan referred to the crime
With which Nicely was charged and
showed that Cuba was foreign territory
Ia every respect OF the case as held by
the joint resolution OF Congress, which
brought the war with Spain 10 an open
fact, by the protocol, and by the treaty
of Paris. Section $40 of the revised
statutes holding provision for the ex-
tradition between the United States
and foreign countries OF criminals, the
judgment OF the court was held good IN
this case. Spain having by the treaty
reiiDguished all claim to sovereignty
over Cuba. and the United States mere
ly occupying the island with its military
forces In accordance with the resolution
of Congress, the island ia no less q
foreign country, and the court decides
that Nicely must be returned to Cuba
for trial, aud the judgment OF the Cir
cult Court In denying the application OF
Nicely for writ of habsss corpus is Of.
firmed.
One Of the points made In the Medley de-
cision was that "Cuba is foreign territory
within the meaning of the act Of jane 9th,
1900. II cannot be regarded in any con-
slitutional, legal, or international sense a
part of the territory of the United States.
The declaration of war was not for the pur-
pose OF making CuNa an integral part OF the
United Ststes bat for the purpose only Of
compelling the REIMBURSEMENT by Spain Of
its authority and government in that island,
and the withdrawal OF Its fotces from Cuba
aud Cuban waters
Following the decisions Senrtor Lindsay
continued his argument in the Porto Rlcan
piotase case, and was answered by F. K.

Rico steamship company. The Hawaiian

Francis V. Greene, and General Roy
Stone. representing the Porto Rico
America Company of New York
and Porto Rico. This company,
which is to be financed by the
Standard Trust Company OF New
York has obtained a franchise for the
building of a railroad In Porto Rico, but
the legislative council retains the right
to amend, alter or repeal same. The
same right exists in Congress under
the Porto Rican franchise act and
Generals Greene and Stone de-
sire q repeal or modification OF
this clause which keeps capital from
coming into the is'sud they say. Both
argued that the failure of the island to
prosper is due to its failure to attract
capital and to its lack OF railroad facili'
ties, The committee took the matter
under advisement. There is no present
disposition to alter the law In the re-
gard desired, as most franchises grant.
