Twice in Those Affected.
REVIEWS THE CASES TWICE
In Finding He Says Applicants Have
Had Full and Fair Hearing
on the Subject.

All thirty-three so-called Cunning
ham Alaska coal land claims, involv
ing alleged fraudulent blanket patents.
which contributed to the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy, have been dis
posed of finally by the Interior De-
partment.
The appeals have been adversely de-
cded and Secretary Fisher has direct
ed the immediate execution of the de-
cision of Commissioner bennett OF the
general land office, who held the claims
We're improperly allowed and that the
entries should be Cancelled. Secretary
Fisher took this final action on his
second review of the cases.
No more of the real Cunningham
claims are pending. though the Interior
Department is regularly passing upon
other Alaskan claims somewhat similar
to those of the Cunningham group. OF
a thousand or more such, 300 already
have been disallowed.
In the final decision. which became
public today. the name Cunningham
figures but twice in the list OF the

pear and the other thirty-one are un-
der a variety of names.
Decision of Secretary Fisher.
Secretary Fishers decision. in part, fol-
lows:
II have again reviewed the cases. Nc
new considerations are presented in the
argument, although it contains many
statements rejecting upon the animus
and attitude of the commissioner which
are. in my opinion. totally unwarranted
After full consideration ! am of the
opinion that the findings Of fact and the
conclusions, both of law and fact, of the
commissioner, as expressed in his oIin-
ion in these cases, are correct. and they
are hereby adopted as the findings and
conclusions, both OF law and of fact, OF
the department.. The decision of the COM
missioner in each Of said cases is at
firmed.
The applicants have had full and
fair hearing. both before the commits
sicner and myself, and. indeed, the con-
sideration by me of this appeal has in
all respects also the effect of a rehearins
of the case after my own decision. The
decision will. therefore. be carried into
immediate effect and the entries can
celed.' -

US. TROOPS MAY CROSS
MEXICAN BORDER LINE
Protection of Residents of
Douglas, Ariz., Likely to Ne
cessitate Such a Step.

Their patience exhausted, the American
troops guarding the border may cross into
Mexico and take hand in any fighting at
Aqua Prieta, if bullets begin to fall in
Douglas, Ariz., or lives are threatened on
the American side of the international
boundary. That was strongly intimated
at the headquarters of the general staff
of the army today following receipt of
advices that the rebel leaders announced
their intention of paying no attention to
the warning of this government that they
must not fire in the direction of Douglas.
The troops on the border have instruc-
tions to prevent repetition of the killing
of innocent Americans on this side during
engagements. These blanket instructions
are broad enough to cover practically any
contingency that may arise and it was
taken by commanders would be upheld by
the War Department.
Filibusters Cross Line.
Gen. E. z. Steever reported that filibus-
tering expeditions had been reported as
crossing at Mexicala, Naco and Douglas,
Troop X of the 9th Cavalry also was
reported as having left Fort ID. 4. Rus
sell. Wyo., for the front.
Officials of the State Department do not
take kindly to the suggestion of Senator
Fall of New Mexico. who declared at
FL Paso. Tex, that he would urge the
government to recognize the belligerency
of the Mexican rebels. to the end that
the United States might act as umpire
or mediator. Senator Fall, with Senator
Smith of Michigan, is Investigating the
situation on the Mexican border for the
Senate foreign relations committee. 1t
was said at the department that there
was no excuse for adopting the plan sug-
gested. The rebels held no important
towns. 1t was pointed out, they had no
accredited head and they had failed yet
to follow any regular military program.
Under existing conditions, it was declared,
the revolutionists can be regarded only
as rebels against friendly government.
