American Claims Not New.

Washington, July 16.-Some time ago
claim was made to number OF
islands off the coast of Borneo by the
United States on the ground that they
belonged to no nation. Admiral Ev-
ans was directed by the department to
send a gunboat for the purpose of maxi
ing surveys and soundings. 1t is be-
lieved these are the islands said to have
been seized by American warships.
A plausible explanation OF the re-
ported occurrence is that the COM
manding officer in the Philippines sim
ply had sent one or more OF his YES
sells and hoisted the flag of the United
States over some islands near the coast
OF Borneo. which were purchased by
the United States from Spain subse-
quent to the treaty of Paris, and that
the sovereignty of the United States
over them had been proclaimed for
mally.
These were the Cagayan Sulu group,
comprising one large and fourteen
smaller Islands. and the larger island
of Palawan. These islands were not
comprehended within the boundaries OF
the Philippine archipelago when the
treaty of Paris was signed.
The claim was made later, however,
that they rightfully belonged to Spain,
and they were formally coded to the
United States by a subsequent action
of that government, and congress made
an appropriation and paid the pur-
chase price agreed on for them.
The islands of the Cagayan group are
close to the Borneo coast, and the ac-
ton of the American naval officials in
formally raising the American flag over
them, If this has been done. has no
doubt given rise to the impression in
the minds of those unacquainted with
the real facts chat the United States
had seized the islands.
The Philippine group OF Islands, ac-
quired from Spain as a result of the
war of 1898, extends so far southwark
and there are so many of them that
it is not unlikely an international COM
mission will be necessary to decide the
ownership of many of them.
The Philippine group also merges in
to the scores of small islands north of
the Dutch East Indies, SO that in many
cases it will be difficult to determine to
which nation they really belong.
Fortunately there is not likely to be
much of a controversy over the dis
puted islands. State department off,
Gals say the ownership in all proba-
bility will be adjusted with little fric-
ton

tanning of facts might be left with men

Il. might be hard for a poor man to
have his case fully investigated, and
that the law tends to make farce of
the administration of justice in such
cases. In this connection, he referred
to his experience in Cook county, and
claimed that there is superiority in the

THE ILLINOIS PAROLE LAW
Vigorously Denounced at States Attor
neys' State Association Meetinu,

neys state ASSOCIATION Meeting.
Galesburg, ILL.,, July 16.-The Illinois
parole law for criminals was vigorously
denounced by States Attorney Charles
S. Deneen, of Chicago, IN an address
before the States Attorneys State As
ISOLATION. Mr.. Deneen held that mas
much as the law takes the power to fix
the penalty away from the judge and
jury and lodges it in few men APP
pointed by the governor the effect has
been detrimental both upon juries and
criminals. and has caused distrust.
AT the evening session Mr.. Deneen
read an address in which he ascribed
crime to heredity and environment.
The discussion Of the parole system
was introduced by paper by E. A.
Snively, a member of the board Of par
board and the operations of the sys-
tenn.
1.-The new law is far too radical" said
Mr.. Deneen. The jury, as under the
old law, should fix the maximum PEN
atty. Then the parole board could act
in the case of extenuating circum-
stances. Since the law has been in OPP
Grafton there has been no diminution OF
criminals in Chicago"
Mr.. Deneen made no charge against
the present parole board or its eff
cheney, but he pointed cut that, under
the system, a board might be influenced
by money or by political considerations,
ard that power was placed where 1t
might be hawked around for political
purposes. He contended that, under the
law, power is taken from the court
and jury and is lodged in the hands OF
men unfamiliar with the facts or cir
cumstances and without opportunity
for thorough study, and he asked how
