Washington, April S.-GeneraI Mac.
Arthur today continued his testimony
concerning the conditions in the Philip
pine archipelago before the senate COM
mittee on the Philippines. His discus
sion, at the beginning of the session,
was devoted to review of the condi-

of the mind Of the Filipino people. He
also described the conditions in the ar

". H. POPE ACCEPTS
A JUDGESH|P
He Will Sail for the Philippines Some Time in
June to Serve as Judge Of the Court Of
the First Instance Of the Islands.
The APPOINTMENT ACCEPTED UPON THE
URGENT REQUEST OF GOVERNOR TAFT

w. Fl. Pope, Esq, of this city, was
week before last offered the position of
judge of the court of first instance in
the Philippines, and last Saturday
wired Governor w. H. Taft. who is now
, in Cincinnati, accepting the appoint
ment. Mr.. Pope was offered a similar
position upon the organization of the
Philippine judiciary last June, but he
did not at that time find it possible to
go. Upon his recent visit to Washing
ton he made the personal acquaintance
Of Governor Taft, with the result that
the offer has been renewed and upon
such terms and under such circum-
stances that he feels it his duty to ac-
cept. The court of which he is to be
a member is second only to the supreme
court Of the Philippines, and his duties
at least for time will not be at one
point, but will involve his holding court
from place to place in the various prov
inces of the archipelago. 1t is under
stood that the position will pay about
$4,000 year besides travelling expenses.
Inc acceptance OF this O1fer VIII, OF
course, necessitate Mr.. Pope resigning
the two government attorneyships he
now holds, that of assistant United
States attorney for the court of private
land claims and the other as special at
torney for the Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico: and this he will do in the near
future. In speaking of the appoint
ment this morning, Mr.. Pope said:
while the offer is most attractive in
many ways, there is one feature that
1etracts from it greatly and that is the
of leaving Santa Fe. l can
.ruly say that | have never known a
more hospitable community than is
ound in this city, and during my eight
Iears' residence here I have been the
'ecipient of kindnesses that I shall
lever forget. Tn going to the Philip |
,ines, I shall esteem it a privilege to |
continue to consider Santa Fe as home, |
md I shall look forward to returning |
ooner or later to resume my associa-
ions with it's people,"
Mr. Pope expects to sail for Manila
ONE time in June.

WILL BUILD A CYANIDE PLANT.
The Eagle Mining Company Buys Up All the Land From
Parsons 10 Angus on the BonIto.

A large transfer of property was
made last week in the Bonito country,
Lincoln county, whereby the Eagle
Mining Company of Parsons City comes
into possession of every mining claim,
water right and homestead on the
Bonito from Parsons nearly down to
Angus. This action was made neces-
sary by the plans Of that company
which anticipate the erection of an
enormous cyanide plant for treating
low grade ores, and in order to operate
this plant it would take large amount
of water from the Bonito which when
turned back would be poisonous. Such
course would have met with opposi-
ton of people on the creek below, as
depriving them of water would have
rendered their lands worthless. To
overcome this Manager Rice purchased
all the property below the site. Imme-
diately after the purchase the manager
accompanied by H. B. Hamilton, the
attorney, left for Chicago to consult
with the company in regard to future
operations.

THE CASE OF PERALTA REAVIS.
He Is Now Living in Poverty and His Wife Is Suing Him
for Divorce.

| Mrs. Sophia l.. M. Reavis, the wife O.
| the notorious James Addison Peralta
Reavis, is suing him for divorce in tn,
Denver county court, says the Times
Non-support and desertion are th
charges. She claims that the femou
swindler has not contributed to he
needs for over Il year, and that he ha:
lived apart from her for nearly two
years.
The deserted wife, who once lived il
luxury, in the days of her husbands
prosperity, Is now living in a wretched
little room in cheap lodging house al
2319 Larimer street. She is abandoned
by friends and fortune, and there is
nothing left her of her former happi-
ness but her twin sons, Carlos and Mi
guel. They are the apple of their
mothers eye, and the solace of her
heavy misfortunes.
Mrs Reavis' divorce suit was filed
last Tuesday, and every effort was
made to suppress it and keep it secret.
However, it came to light when Judge
Lindsey yesterday issued an order al
lowing Mrs. Reavis to prosecute as a
poor person, thus relieving her from
the payment of the usual court costs.
James Addison Peralta- -Reavis was
very much in the public eye in the
years about 1885, He then engineered
and well-nigh carried through one of
the deepest and most adroit schemes
ever perfected to defraud the United
States government. He set up a claim
to a government land grant of no less
than 125OO,0OO acres in Arizona, alleg-
ing that this land was the property of
an old Spanish family of which he was
the sole descendant. He went to Spain
and made entries in ancient archives
in that country of which he took pho
tographs, and by which he attempted
to prove that this vast tract of land
was his. This land was situated near
Phoenix, and included the most valua-
BILE reservoir in Arizona.
The case was brought up before the
court of private land claims in Santa
Te The government succeeded in prov
ing his fraud and in tracing his forged
entries in archives in Spain, in Mexico,
and California and Arizona. After a
tried in the district court, he was
fined $4,000 and given sentence Of
two years in the penitentiary
at Santa Fe. After his release he went
to California, where he has since re-
manned. He is said to be very poor,
and, on the last birthday of his chill
dren, he sent them each cent, as a
symbol Of his poverty.

Fritz Brinz, sheepman OF Roswell,
Chaves county, was arrested yesterday

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
Its Discussion Was the Main Feature In the House Of
REPRESENTATIVES. Today

| washington, April yS.-Debate upor
the Cuban reciprocity bill was opened
in the house today. There was much
activity among the leaders of botf
sides in anticipation of the coming bat
tie, and when the house was called tc
order at noon the attendance of men,
bers was unusually large. The battle
began as soon as the bill was called
Tawney Minnesota, demanded to know
ed Payne replied that the bill was
one affecting revenue, and the speaker
sustained that view. Thereupon Rob-
ertson, Louisiana, raised the point of
order that the bill did not come within
the purview of that rule. He contended
that the bill proposed was to authorize
reciprocal trade relations with Cuba !;
that it was not a bill to raise or reduce
revenue, and not amendable as such.
The speaker held that under long
Newlands Nevada, attempted to secure
a ruling from the chair upon the ques-
| tion whether amendments affecting a
general reduction of the tariff would be
in order, but the speaker declined to
rule upon question not before the
house. Robertson attempted to propose
a proposition as to the length of the
general debate, but Payne cut him off
with demand for the regular order"
The first test of strength came upon a
motion to go into committee of the
whole. The motion was carried, III to
80.
Payne said in the house today that
United States exports to Cuba amount
to $200,0O000O. While he did not want
Cuba annexed, he believed, in time, she
would be part of the United States.
SENATE.
Washington, April Sat the opening
of the senate today the president pro
tenn, Frye, laid before the senate a tel
egram, signed by Claus Spreckles and
about twenty other business men of
San Francisco, protesting against the
passage of the Chinese exclusion bill in
it's present form. 1t said a provision of
the measure would act gross injustice.
Cullom said new treaty could be en-
tered into with China, and legislation
enacted to exclude Chinese. If China
declined to enter into a new treaty the
United States would be justified in
passing such legislation as they choose.
He conceded the right of congress to
abrogate treaties by Legislation, but
urged that such action should be taken
only in exceptional cases. 1t was un-
necessary in the present situation to
pass such a law as was proposed.
Patterson, Colorado, made a strong
appeal for the enactment of the present
Chinese exclusion law and refuted the
arguments that had been made by
those who said treaty was sufficient

for fleece woods is so dull that it is
