U. S. SUPREME COURT

Washington. Feb 24.-In an opinion
by Justice Holmes, the supreme court
Of the United States yesterday decid-
ed the case OF Mateo Carino vs.. the
government Of the Philippines, against
the government. The case grew out
of a controversy over the title to a
tract occupied as military reserva-
tion In Benguet which WAS claimed
by CarIno through possessions COW
ering thirty years. He had not reg
istered his claim and had received no
title from the government and the
insular court decided that mere pos
session would not give title That
position was reversed by today's de-
cision.
Tho justice said the United States
had taken possession of the Philip
pines in a different spirit from Spain g.
I'VE must do justice to the natives
and cannot exploit tholr lands for pri-
vate gains he declared EVERY pre-.
sumption is and ought to be against
the government In a case like this.
IL there Is doubt or ambiguity in tho
Spanish law. the claimant should
have the benefit"
The opinion is considered import
ant as showing the courts tendency
in dealing with Philippine land prob.
lens.
