SHORTAGE FIVE HUNDRED CARS
Peach Crop This Season May Reach
1000 Cars.

State Entomologist Scott gave out
on yesterday his estimate of the Geor-
gia peach crop for this year. He says
there will be total of about 9, 900 cars,
against 1850 cars last year. There are
fewer peaches on a tree this year and
the fruit is naturally larger, he says.

PROTEST OF INDIANS FAILS.
Secretary Hitchcock says He Must
Execute Orders OF Congress.

Judge William NJ. Springer, of Indian
Territory. was at the White House yes
terday in company with Lone Wolf, the
chief of the Kiowas, and two other mem
bers of the tribe to protest against the
opening uS 0f their reservation as pro-
vided for by Law enacted at the last
session of Congress.
They asserted that the treaty by whicn
agreement was made TO open up the res
ervation was procured by fraud and mis-
representation and without thorough
understanding on the part of the Indians.

jured by the opening up Of the lands
They also stated that a delegation from
the great council of Kiowas. Conman-
ches and Apaches is 20 come to Wash
ington to make protest. They were unable
to see the President.
Secretary Hitchcock stated yesterday
that any protest on the part of the In
dams would be unavailing for the reason
that Congress had enacted the law pro-
viding for the opening of the lands and
nothing remains for the Interior Depart
ment to do but to carry out the terms OF
the act.
A protest of like character was made TO
Secretary Hitchcock prior to the passage
of the bill and, was by him transmitted
TO Congress for consideration, but 1t fail-

the principles and policy Of the Repub-
lican party True, a member of he Su-
preme Court should not be swerved from
his convictions of duty by the fear of
giving the opposing Earty some political
advantage: but at the same time the
actions and utterances of the EepuDli-
can leaders are such as to make 1t clear
that with them it is purely matter of
partisan politics. This, in itself, should
be enough to awaken even in the mind
of as able a man ds Justice White
grave doubts as to the correctness of
the position he mas assumed.
It is now intimated that n conse-
quence of this decision the importance
of Congress has been so enhanced that
the Republicans nave a stronger mo-
tive than heretofore in seeking to con-
troll that body. All of this simply
means that our insular possessions
have been made the football Of rarti-
san strife-a circumstance to be most
deeply deplored.
The times., 1901-06-06
EnrnI,er and Hnnnn.

And now it is said that the Supreme
Court decisions in the insular cases
have made Foraker the logical Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency in
1904. Why this should be so IS by no
means clear. To be sure. Mr.. Foraker's
name has been. by courtesy, connected
with the Porto Rico tariff law, but 50
has that of Mr.. Payne, and it is fairly
open to question whether it reflects any
particular credit upon either. Certain
ly the framing of bill that caused the
Supreme Court to founder in sea of
absurd Inconsistencies proves very little
in favor Of mans fitness for the Presi-
Dental Office.
The action of the Supreme Court has
no bearing upon the merits of the For
aker-Payne act. 1t is simply-in way
held not to be yiolative of the Consti-
tuition, and the same may be said with
much better reason of thousands of
other acts that have been placed on
tie Federal statute books. But if it be
assumed that the law in question is 2
good one, it still remains to be shown
that it so rebounds to the credit of Mr..
Foraker as TO strengthen him as a
Presidential candidate
Quite generally the Porto Rico tariff
has been claimed as an Administration
measure. despite the Presidential dec
laration that plain duty stood in the
way of such a tariff But apart from
this, many Republicans of prominence
have already rushed into print with the
claim that the upholding of the Porto
Rico tariff is a Republican victory in
the broadest sense, which excludes the
idea of its inuring to the especial credit
and glorifcation of Mr.. Foraker
OF course. no one has any warrant to
say that the senior Senator from Ohio
will not be the next Presidential can
didate of his party. At the same time
IL is plain that there are serious OBJ
stacles in his way, and that many
things may happen before the next Re
/ publican Convention assemblies. The
name of Mr. Hanna has been mentioned
in, the same connection, and many be-
lieve that he will be fulI-fiedged as
! pirant for Presidential honors long be-
/ fore the nomination is made. If this be-
! lief is well founded, Foraker viii
! scarcely be able TO secure the Ohio
/ delegation, and without it he cannot
| win.
With his own colleague as an op-
ponent, Foraker's connection with the
! Porto Rico tariff will do him very little
good. SO far as the mere nomination is
! concerned, Hannas advocacy of the
! Ship Subsidy bill constitutes a much
| stronger leverage; and in case of such
| a contest there is very little doubt as
| to where the Administration influence
would go.
Referring more especially to the Porto
Rico tariff it may pertineutly be added
that it yet remains TO be seen how the
| American public will take the decision
upon which the Republican leaders are
/ so loftily pluming themselves. The
people are doing lot of hard thinking
just now. and it is not impossible that
within the next three years Mr.. Foraker
may bitterly regret the association OF
his name with a measure which stands
for the principle of Imperialism under
the American flag. His proposed can
| didacy upon such a basis is a little pre-
| mature, to say the least

A FRAUD ORDER ISSUED.
A Cambridgeport Firm Denied the
Use of the Mails.

The Postoffice Department yesterday
issued a fraud order denying the use OF
the mails TO the Merchants Supply Com
pany, of 80 Norfolk Street, Cam
bridgeport. Mass. This company claimed
to be large manufacturers of neckwear
and sought prospective employees by the
publication in newspapers in various parts
of the country of the following adver-
tiserient: Female help wanted. Any
lady can earn good pay making silk neck
wear at home; work sent any distance
prepaid; send 10 cents for sealed con-
tract"
To those answering the advertisement

company offered employment provided

FACTIONS IN WISCONSIN.
The Republicans Attacking Gov
crnor La FoIIette's Policy.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 5.-The
movement of the Stalwarts, or the
Spoc-H' slement, of the Wisconsin Re
publicaEs, - defeat the denomination Of
Governor La Toilette next year. is already
under way, though it Is being conducted
with great secrecy. A thorough organiZa-
tion viii he made in every county in the
State, and the elements of opposition will
be drilled so that they can act with pre-
cision and effect when it comes time to
hold the caucuses and conventions next
year. This faction of the party embraces
a majority of the skilled politicians. and
what they do not know about manipula-
tion no one knows. Every Federal office
holder in the State is in accord with the
movement, and the old party chiefs have
hosts of henchmen. When Henry e.
Payne gets home from his European trip,
which will be in few days, it is ex-
pected that he will assume personal
charge of the movement. Mr.. Payne was
for many years the Chairman of the State
Central Committee and he knows every
politician in the State. From his posi-
tion as a member of the National Com
anittee it is expected that he will be able
to conduct a winning campaign.
The campaign for the control of the
party organization is to be made obsti-
nately in the interest of Senator Spooner.
The cry has already been set up that
Governor La Follettes programme in
cludes the defeat of the Senator for re-
election, and the faithful are to be rallied
by the magic of his name. Senator Spoon
er Is a very popular man, and all that is
needed is to convince the Republicans of
the state that his political existence is
threatened The adherentS of Governor
La FoIlette realize the danger of such an
issue, and they insist that they are Just
as good Spooner men as their opponents
and that no Republican opposes his re-
election.
The Staiwarts further declare that Wis
consin must present Senator Spooner
name to the next National Convention as
the candidate of the Republicans of
the State for the Presidential nominal
ton, and that in order to keep him be-
1ore the people 1t Is necessary to give him
a triumphant reelection as Senator AL
though IT has generally been the custom
10 give Governor second nomination,
the Staiwarts are already beginning to
talk openly of other candidates in oppo-
Sltion to La Toilette one of the men
mentioned for the nomination is State
Senator John Nj Whitehead, of James
Viile, who was defeated for the nominal
tiOn last year.
resentatiye S. S. Barney of West Bend
who has been legislated by the new Con-
greSSIonal apportiOnment into a strong
Democratic district. In his behalf it is
urged that he would not be personally OBJ
noXiOus to the La Toilette portion of the
party, as he has taken no part in the fac
ttonal tight thus far.
There is fear that this factional fight
will cost the Republicans a number of
seats in Congress.

To STUDY THE ARMY'S NEEDS
Reasons for Sending War Depart
ment Chiefs to the Philippines.

Secretary Root made the statement yes
terday afternoon that he had given up
the idea of making trip to the Philip
pines this summer. He explained that the
purpose of ordering the chiefs of the bu-
reaus of the War Department to the Phil
ippines was to enable them to study con
ditions f. tse island with reference TO
placing ts.c army there upon a more per-
manent basis. Secretary Root said that
Adjutant General Corbin, Commissary
General Weston, Surgeon General Stern
berg. and General Greedy, Chief Of the
Signal Corps, were going to Manila in an
official capacity to famiharize themselves
with the needs of their respective depart
ments in the islands.
1t is necessary for these officials to be-
come personally conversant with the re-
quirernents in order that they may better
deal with questions as they arise and de-
mands as they are made. In time of war
it is impossible to make as full enquiry
into the needs and requirements of the
army as in time of peace. and now that
the fighting is practically over and the
troops are to be used only for garrison
and police purposes an effort Is to be
made for a retrenchment and to place
what is expended where it will do the
most good.
Surgeon General Sternberg expects to
leave for the Philippines within short
time and the special purpose or his Visit
win be to determine the matter OF estap-
fishing permanent hospitals and TO pro-
vide for their equipments. General cree

a BUSY DAY AT WEST POINT.
Candidates Arrive and the Cadets
Fight a Sham Battle.

WEST POINT, N. Y, June 5.-Life at
West Point was in marked contrast to-
day with the utter quietness of yesterday,
so far as relates to the attendance ana
general activity The Board of Visitors
has been closeted all day engaged in sub
committee work The respective classes
continued their examinations in mathe-
matics. chemistry. and languages.
Forty-seven fresh candidates presented
themselves this morning for examination
for entrance to the Academy as cadets.
Fourteen others who were appointed did
not appear Private Calvin p. Titus, the
young man who achieved fame in seal
ing the wall at Pekin, has been excused
from reporting until July %.
A noticeable feature in connection with
the presence of the candidates is that they
are not left solely in charge of cadets, as
heretofore, but are looked after by one
or two tactical officers, whose duty it is
to see that the new arrivals are not
harshly treated or subjected to the slight
est form of hazing.
Brig Gen. Frederick d. Grant reached
here this afternoon. He was met at the
station by Colonel Mills and Captain Rtv-
ers, adjutant OF the post, and the cavalry
detachment in full dress and mounted.

son, u. 5. Grant III, who is a member of

class, who would have been graduated
one year hence, were today dismissed
from the Military Academy and sent
away without travel pay. They are Ste
phen b. Vernon, of. Syracuse, n. Y, and
Charles S. Perry, of Iowa. These young
men are guilty of grave offence in mill
tary discipline. They recently obtained
permission to visit Newburgh with the os-
tensible view of meeting and dining with
intimate friends.
During the afternoon of the day, an Of
fcer on duty here was in Newburgh and
happened to discover them at a bar in a
saloon. In accordance with his duty, the
officer reported the matter to headquar-
ters. and a general cOurt-martial follow

permit was obtained under misrepresen- n

LARGEST DEMAND YET MADE.
a CInim for half Million Dollars
for Spanish Injuries.


The largest claim yet filed with the
Spanish Treaty Commission was placed
on record yesterday when Andres l. Ter
ry Dorticos, through his attorney, H R.
Webb, of this city, placed in the hands
of ex-senator Chandler, President of the
Commission, a claim against Spain for
over a half million dollars.
The claimant alleges, in the papers
filed, that the Spanish Government aided
and abetted the Cuban insurgents in the
destruction OF the property of naturalized
American citizens in Cuba and that in
stead of affording protection the Spanish
officials gave the Cubans every oppor-
tunity and every encouragement to burn
and loot.
Mr. Dorticos relates in his claim that
while born in Cuba, he is a naturalized
American citizen, having received his final
papers in New York in 1888. He is at
present residing in Paris. He states that
he owned extensive properties in Cuba,
having an estate called Central Cayaja-
no." at Madruga, District of Guines,
Province of Havana, besides five small
er plantations. The largest estate con-
tanned sixty cabalIeFias of sugar land be
sides a large house and buildings usual to
an estate.
The estate contained large sugar mill,
with another factory for distilling alco-
hol. In 1895, Mr.. Dorticos claims he de-
sired to fit up his sugar and alcohol plants
with new machinery. He was assured by
the Spanish Government that the officials
would furnish him protection if he con-
structed new plants. These were then in
stalled with the necessary tools, etc A
large electric lighting and power plant
was also installed.
a large number Of workmen were then
employed and the work of cutting the
cane crop began. The Spanish officials
then refused to furnish the protection
guaranteed and instead Of defending the
property looted it themselves. During
1866, the insurgents attacked the prop
erty a dozen times and although Spanish
troops were numerous, no attempt was
made to drive the enemy away. Later
the Spanish troops visited the estate and
seized and destroyed a great deal of val
liable property
On January 16. 1896, Mr.. DorticOs claims,
his agent received notice from the Mill
tary Governor of Madruga that unless the
sum of $1,000 was paid the following day,
January Il, the property would be con-
fscated. This the agent could not do, as
the proprietor was then in New York The
agent and his people were then compelled
to vacate the property. About four days
iater the levy of S1.Ge0 was paid and the
agent again took possession
Later another levy of 5000 was made.
This was refused and the agent was again
forced to vacate. on March 29, 1886, the
Spanish troops took possession OF the
property and razed the buildings to the
ground, burning the sugar crop, and de-
stroying all of the machinery.
1t is charged that the Spanish officials
conspired to destroy the property and to
cOnfiscate the land. For the damages in
Cured Mr.. Dorticos demands the sum OF
S5SS, ,46S.75. The itemIzed list of property
destroyed covers five typewriter pages.
