WAR WILL NOT

BETWEEN MEXICO AND REPUB-

RESERVATION LAND SUIT
State Of Louisiana Has Filed Suit in
the United States Supreme Court
to Recover Some Valuable Swamp
Lands.

Washington.-The following state
ment reviewing the situation between
Mexico and Guatemala was made TO
the Associated Press by Ambassador
Creel, Of Mexico:
Il notice that the press and the
public are expecting to receive at any
moment the sensational news Of O
war between Mexico and Guatemala
under the wrong impression that some
demands from Mexico are still pend
ing action on the part of Guatemala
1t is important to clear the sit
uation so that the public may know
that there is nothing pending and
no reason for fear Of war between
the two countries.
The assassination Of former Pres
ident Barillas by a Guatemalan de-
veloped in Mexico a feeling Of in
dignation and strong protest by pub
lie opinion against such a criminal
action; more when it was known that
Gen. Lima from Guatemala, was sup
posed to be implicated.
Mexico asked for the extradition
OF Gen. Lima not as compulsory un-
der the treaty, but offering Guatemala
the privilege that might have been
accepted, as there is no prohibition
in the treaty for such action. Guate-
mala declined and this was the end
Of the conflict.
There remains in Mexico a feel
ing Of grievance and condemnation
in the public sentiment, but not a
spirit Of war.
"The troops that have been located
on the frontier Of Mexico and Guate-
mala are there for the purpose Of
keeping order and to give protection
to the people Of all nationalities.

form.

Norfolk, Va.-Replying to official
cognizance taken by the Navy Depart
ment Of the exclusion Of enlisted men
in uniform from the dancing pavil-
ion at the Pine beach resort, adjoin-
ing the jamestown Exposition
grounds, the management said that
in excluding from the dancing floor
enlisted men Of the navy in uniform
it had no idea Of willfully discrimin-
ating against the service uniform,
but that owing to the public preju-
dice of society at close association
with the uniform of enlisted men in
the navy, the patrons Of the dance
pavilion had declared they would
withdraw their patronage if sailors
in uniforms were permitted on the
floor. Only for the preservation Of
the property and life of the dancing
concession, they added, had action
been taken by which the United
States seamen in uniform were ex-
Guided from the floor.
1t was also stated that money had
been expended in preparing white
duck suits for any sailor. who will
change his uniform and appear on the
floor in the clothes provided free Of
CHARGE.

Reservation Land Suit.

An important suit was filed in the
United States Supreme Court, being
that of the State of Louisiana against
James Rudolph Garfield, Secretary
Of the Interior, and Richard A. Ball
ing, Commissioner of the General
Land Office, to recover some valuable
swamp lands in Fort Sabine Military
Reservation.
This suit involves about $500 acres
of land in the Fort Sabine Military
Reservation, which was selected as
swamp land in the ffties and ap-
proved to the state in swamp LAND
list No. 81 on Dec. 10, 1895, pursu-
ant to decision Of the then Secle-
tary of the Interior. Recently the
Secretary Of the Interior decided that
the existence of the military reserva-
ton inhabited the land from the
operation of swamp grant.
The State Of louisiana in it's bill
denies this proposition of law, con-
tends that the Interior Department
has lost jurisdiction Of the land since
the approval of the swamp land list,
and prays for construction of the
Act Of March 2, 1849, favorable to
the title Of the State, for writ Of
injunction restraining the defend
ants from clouding the title, and from
making or attempting to make dis
position Of the land and for general
relief.

On Mexican Border.

The president has issued a procla-
nation creating reservation sixty
feet in width along the entire border
Of Mexico, including the state of Cali
fornia and the territories Of Arizona
and New Mexico.
The purpose of the reservation is
declared in the presidential procla-
nation to be the suppression of SNUG
Cling across the international. Pri-
vate entries in the line of the pro-
jected reservation and such portions
Of it as are needed for roads are
reserved from the operation of the
order.
Since the abolition of the "zona
ibre," or free zone," between Mex
leo and the United States, 1t has been
found increasingly difficult to prevent
smuggling across the boundary, hence
the presidential proclamation.

Main street because Of inability to

from Cameron parish, county Of
nearly 1900 square miles, much OF
which is under water from record
breaking rains, rising rivers and a
wind which has blown the Gulf Of
Mexico water in shore.
Nine families on special train
came from the Sulphur mine dis
tricts, where about $4,000 damage
has been done. No loss of life has
been reported. Steamboat passengers
who arrived here to-day after having
passed through Cameron parish via
Calcasieu river reported that as far
as the eye could reach on both sides
of the parish was under water.
Stock raising, one Of the principal
industries Of the parish is threatened
with great loss.
The southern portion Of Calcasieu
parish is also flooded. An eight-inch
rain fell in and about Lake Charles,
stopping street railways and forcing
many persons to wade thigh deep to
their business. The floods caused 25
acres of land at Sulphur to sink
about fifteen feet to-day.

hail storms that ever visited this
section Of Texas prevailed in the
southwestern portion Of this county

hail came down in torrents as large as
eggs. Oldest settlers residing here
here say such storm was never be-
fore known. It was Of such violence
that wire fences were torn down, a
large number Of cattle, sheep, hogs
and chickens killed, roofs torn off and
trees stripped Of every leaf and small
limbs. The storm lasted for more
than an hour.
The visited area is one Of the most
fertile valleys of the county and ten
thousand acres Of growing crops were
completely ruined. Fields Of corn
shoulder high show no signs Of ever
having had particle Of vegetation
on them. Hundreds Of pecan trees
laden with fruit are ruined. This
date the ice was more than one foot
thick over the stricken district. At
ter the hail most violent rain en-
sued, entailing further losses. Hicko-
