Mandel's outlay of taxes and other
charges on the property. The decision
also provides that the balance of the

original purchase of the land
The case has been vigorously con-
tested by J. II. Perkins and S t
Grape, opposing trustees for the two
groups of litigants. The benehciaries
of the courts ruling are scattered over
the United States and Europe. AS the
result of international marriages there
are heirs in Holland, Germany and
France.
In $780, Edward Mandel. who, as a
whaler, had grown immensely wealthy,
entered into an agreement with Hy-
man. a real estate broker of Chicago.

twenty other tracks. Mandel advanced
all the money and paid all taxes and

and Hyman.
The fact that these charges now
amount to nearly s1.o00.o0o accounts
for this vast tract having remained
unoccupied. while property on all sides
has been covered with factories and
dwellings.
Since the land was purchased. ir

died All of Mandels children, four in
number, have also passed away. Some
of the benehciaries of his interest are
of the fourth generation. The fatal

The case has been vigorously con
tested on both sides The introduction
of evidence at Valparaiso and Mich

many lawyers, some of them of almos
national reputation, were engaged OIL

SITUATION IN CUBA.

SANTIAGO, June 1.-Messengers
from the zone of revolution today
brought word that Gen. Estenoz's col
umn Of rebels was still near Alta Gar
cia, where the properties of the Span
1sh-American Iron company are locat-
ed, but that the rebels were avoiding
open battle. Their evident aim Is to
pursue a gurilla warfare. One band of
rebels attacked the village of Bayate,
where there is a big Swedish colony,
but no casualties among foreigners
are reported. The rebels burned sew
eral houses and drove Off quantity
of livestock A number of Swedes i'm
migrated to that section from Minneso-
ia. They have appealed for aid to the
American government. Residents of a
number of villages in the Guantanamo
valley have fled upon the approach of
insurgents. Most of them sought ref
uge in Guantanamo City.
Two Americans, named Collister and
Wheeler, have been seized by negro
rebels on their ranch near Eaiquari
and are held for ransom. United States
Consul Holiday left for that place to-
day to demand their release. No ma
rines have been landed up to noon to-
day from the Paducah or the Nashville
commanders of both vessels, however,
are prepared for immediate action.

Concerts Until Raised.

Band concerts at the Glen cannot be
held until some individuals or some
organizations donate an additional
$50 to pay the musicians. A sum of
1875 has been raised, the city paying
$3.50 the street car company $3.50, and
business men SIS. This sum would
have been sufficient last year. but the
members of the Richmond City band,
having joined the union, demand un-
ion wages, and $425 is needed. 1t has
been suggested that the Commercial

Fire Department Report.
Twelve fires for the month of May
caused a property loss in Richmond of
only $400. For the most part the fires
were small roof blazes One house fire,
on North D street, was the only blaze
of any consequence.
No word has been received from the
factory at st. Louis in regard to the
auto truck which is being rebuilt there.
It will probably be here within three
weeks and placed in service again.
