ter the exchange of the peace treaty

down by Chief Justice Fuller. The de-
cision of ,the lower c4,rt was reversed.

time the rings We're brought into Amer
lean territory, ceasing to be foreign ter
ritory and became domestic territory,

mad 1t was held that the resolution
adopted by congress concerning the
Philippines was not sufficient to
change the situation.

Spscial to the New Mexican

up and it Is very hard for merchants to
keep up the supply of goods needed for
the trade. The country along the Pc
cos river, south of Santa Rosa, Is also
settling up rapidly, many farmers go
