United States. are unwarranted and un-
just-this is the conclusion of the ma
jority of the house committee on in
sular affairs, in its report of an ex-
haustive investigation of those mat
ters, made public today by the chair
man of the committee, Representative
Olmsted of Pennsylvania.
FORBES GETS O. X.
The report expressly exonerates w.
Cameron Forbes, governor general;
Charles H Sleeper, director of lands;
Frank w. Carpenter, executive secre-
tary. and Dean c. Worcester, secretary
of the interior Of the Philippine gov
eminent. of any improprieties in the
management of the Philippine lands,
and describes them as liable, earnest,
patriotic men, honestly performing
their duties under more or less trying
circumstances
The report reviews at length the al
legged violations OF laws governing the
sales Of land and the issuance Of
leases, and lays its principal stress
upon the intricate legal problem in
volved in the question of the status of
the so-calIed "friar lands" which were
purchased by the Philippine govern
ment from the religious orders with
funds raised by a bond issue.
OPINIONS DIFFER.
Radical differences Of opinion have
existed as to whether these friar lands
were governed in the matter of sales
and leases by the restrictions clearly
imposed by the organic Law" of the
islands upon transactions concerning
the public or crown lands purchased
by the United States government from
the government of Spain.
Representative Martin Of Colorado
precipitated the investigation now re-
ported upon. by various charges made
on the floor of the house In the latter
part of the session of 1909-IO in which
he alleged improper sales and leases OF
the friar lands, especially 10 persons
who. he charged, desired the land for
the benefit Of the so-called sugar trust.
And so. while the report undertakes 70
refute a number of charges connected
with the sale and lease Of lands in the
islands. it is devoted largely to dis
cussion of a transaction by which one

WARE COUNTY IS GROWING
FINEST OF MALAGA GRAPES

Waycross, Ga, Aug. 24.-California
Malaga grapes are growing in Ware
county and promise to be a regular
product from now on. The first vines
planted a few years ago were done so
merely as an experiment, but are bear
ing to such an extent that they will
be planted on a larger scale. Some Of
the punches that have been brough -
the city for exhibition purposes weigh
from three to four pounds. In flavor
the Ware variety of the grape is very
sweet, and the size is something %
marvel at, considering the supposed
superiority of California fo- the Gull
ture of this grape.

JUAREz AWAITS AN ATTACK
Three Thousand Insurrectos Are Re-
ported to be Closing In on
the Town.

washington, April 15,-.With the
customs house at Aqua Prleta in the
hands Of the revolutionists and Juarez
seriously threatened, new situation
is presented to the state department
1t involves the delicate question re-
lating to recognition Of the revolu'
tionists.
No word in regard to the Battle Of
Aqua Prieta had yet reached the state
department.. officials, however, were
deeply interested in the press reports
showing the rebels in control OF the
customs house. In the absence OF OF
fetal confirmation they declined to
commentn upon the course the United
States will take in dealing with the
new phase Of the situation.
Three thousand revolutionists, out
numbering the federal defenders Of
the town four to one, are within foul
hours march Of Juarez, according to
a telegram received by the state de
partment from the American consul al
Juarez. The rebels are in control
of the railroads rolling stock and tele
graph lines. The authorities Of Jua
rez are preparing for an attack, and
many Mexicans are sending their fam
lilies to the American side.
