The arguments of General Aguirre
in favor of Mexicos claims to the is
lands as published in Excelsior are:
1.-THE United States is not occupy
ing them by right of discovery, be-
cause they We're discovered in the
18th century by the Spaniard naviga
tor Cabrillo, who gave them the
names they now hear.
"They are not occupied by right of
purchase. as Mexico has never sold
them to any person or nation.
They are not occupied by right of
conquest. for they were never
conquered.
They are not occupied by right OF
territorial jurisdiction, because the
international code of the United
States sets the principle that the ter
ritorial jurisdiction of a nation cam
not extend farther than a league from
shore. and the islands in question are
at a greater distance from the shore
of the United States.
THE international code of the Uni
ted States rejects the right of con-
quest by stating that not all territory
conquered belongs to the conquerer
but only that part assigned by def
mite stipulations of duly authorized
treaties"
Further proof of the claim of Mex
leo to the islands is cited in the de
cree of the queen of Spain in 1896, de
claring that in the future all posses
sions in the Kingdom of New Spain
belonged to the Republic of Mexico,
a sovereign nation. For many years.
Mexico actually exercised control
over the islands, ii is asserted.
In suhstantiation of the assertion
that Mexico exercised dominion over
the islands. it is pointed out that
decree was issued June 20, 1885 .au-
thOrizing the governor of California
TO make grants Of any part Of the is
lands to Mexicans, according to slip
ulations of the law of August Is. ~,
and that the titles 70 parts of the
islands granted to CaStillcro and Car
riol in 1889 and 1S41 were MULE led by
later DEGREES of President Santa Anna
in November 1853, by President AL
varez in July, 1854 and by President
Comfort, March 10, 1851.
1t is stated by Excelsior that Pres
ident Obregon may include the mat
ter in General Aguirre's report in
future negotiations between the Uni
ted States and Mexico toward the ac-
complishment Of a proposed Treaty
of Friendship and Commerce"

duCers and others interested in the
sugar business who agree with Mr..
Aboy Benitez, there are apparently
large number of interested parties
who are convinced that Porto RICO
sugars are too small factor in the
situation to affect the market one
way or the other They say there
a re / 100000 tons of sugar in Cuba
ready for shipment.
With the gradual winding up of the
grinding season in the island, it has
become apparent that there are more
than 200, 900 tons Of sugar here avail
able for shipment at a time when
prices are lower than any time dur
ing a fiye-% year period and meaning a
loss on every pound Of sugar sold.
II is generally estimated that an
average cost of Sc per hundred
pounds for producing this years
sugar crop is conservative and that
any price under that will mean loss
TO most Of the producers in the
island The crop is the most ex-
pensive ever harvested in the island,
and the low prices which have pre-

! J. Ruiz >Soler, secretary of the
Sugar Producers Association, who
has recently been in the states and
who sailed again on Wednesday. said
that he did not know what the future
market was going to be, but that he
was opposed to any plan for holding
sugars with the hope of a better mar
ket later on. Conditions were too
uncertain for the adoption of such a
course, in his opinion.

Stock Markets
NEW YORK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York. July Inducements of
stocks in today's listless market were
highly confusing. Shares with an eX-
tensive short interest were heavy or
weak while other issues manifested
occasional strength, though easing a
the close.
The rubber group as well as equip
ments, Sears RoebuCk. Famous Play
crs and Industrial Alcohol, were under
constant pressure, losing two to four
points.
Oils. especially the foreign group,
were most erratIc. Mexican Petroleum
rallied some five points from its early
reversal and closed at net gain OF
az.
Leading steels and motors. as well
as Baldwin Locomotive. American
Wooden and American Sugar, rose one
to. four points under short covering
and rails were inclined to improve.
The whole list. however, reacted when
call money rose to per cent. in the
final hour. Sales amounted to 425, 600
shares.
Developments in International af-
fairs probably would have exercised
a beneficial influence but for further
collapse of foreign exchange. The
British rate fell nearly four cents

In Object of Visit Here

at the monthly dinner of the New York
Rotary Club at the McAlpin last night
He admitted he already had failed in
two of the main objects of his visit to
America: To give tangible form to his
gratitude for Americas aid to his own
people by relieving the sutferings of
poor children in this country and to re-
establish friendship between the med
iccal profession here and its colleagues
in Vienna.
"'I have already failed in my hospital
work" he said, "for the task was super
human and made my health break
down. Now it appears that / have
failed to realize my hope of restoring
the link which joined the doctors of
hospitabie Vienna with those Of this
country"
Just before Dr.. Lorenz spoke, the
Rotary Club unanimously indorsed q
resolution favoring the removal of the
old Federal building on the south side
of City Hall Park.
The other speakers last night were

chief of Sing Sing prison, whose sub
iect was Grimes and Criminals" and

my heart than the Y. w. c. A., nor is
there any in which I believe more
thoroughly. Its wholesome influence
upon the young wonanhood of our
country is incalculable, especially in
such great centers as New York City,
and feel strongly that the work is
deserving of the hearty support Of
every loyal American.
Hoping earnestly for the success Of
the campaign, and with all good wishes,
believe me very sincerely yours,
