New York, May 26.-To recover $3.50 900
from Major General John II. Brooke, now
at Governors Island In command Of the
department OF the east, is the object OF
OF suit brought by Dona Maria Fran
cisca OReilly de Camara, Countess of
Buena Vista, Spanish noblewoman,
who has lived in Havana for many years
and is there now.
The papers in her suit have been filed
In the United States district court for
the southern district of New York by her
lawyers, Coudert Brothers. She con-
tends that while Major General BROOKE
was the military governor Of Cuba, ne
her property and the hereditary privilege
OF slaughtering and selling all the cattle
needed for consumption I'm Havana.
This right, she says. wGs held by virtue
OF a royal decree from king OF spain
I'm the 18th century, and she alleges that
the action OF Major General Brooke In
abrogatfng il was entirely without the
scope OF his authority and by means of
the wrongful exercise OF the force at his
disposition"
A history of the hereditary privilege is
given in the complaint, which says:
"For many years prior TO 1878 there had
been I'm existence In the island OF Cuba,
under and in accordance with the Span
ish law, a hereditary and inalienable of
fee known as the Office OF 'Algutacil
Mayor. or high sheriff of the city OF
Havana To this Office of high sheriff, IN
addition 10 certain purely official func-
tions there was attached, among
property right, the franchise or right TO
manage and conduct the slaughter of cat
tie In the city OF Havana, and 10 charge
for each head OF cattle so slaughtered iur
use In said city"
This Office OF "Alguaci mayor" had
been purchased at public auction III
l72s by Don Sebastian Calvo de la Puerta.
The complaint tells how IT descended as
a family right and that in 1878 the Of
fee was abolished. the slaughter house
being inherited by the Countess O'Reilly,
who exercised the right until June. 1879,
when, she says, she was deprived OF II
by Major General Brooke.
The countess adds that Major General
Brooke, acting wholly without the scope
OF his authority, and by means of the
wrongful exercise OF the force at his dis
position" enforced his order. and that
since then she has been deprived of her
property without indemnity.
His act. she says, was contrary 10 the
constitution and laws OF the United
States. in violation OF the treaty OF Paris
and President McKinley's order and was
confiscation of plaintiffs property ana
was wholly unlawful, wrongful. tortious
and unauthorized on the part of said de-
fendant: moreover, as peace existed IN
the island OF Cuba, the said tortious ana
unlawful taking OF your plaintiffs prop
erty was not and could not be based upon
any alleged or supposed right of war"
