The Matter In Under Control of War
Department—The Power of Con-
gress Doubted—Order Also to
Apply to Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, March Sir-Attorney
General Griggs has advised the war de-
partment against granting permission
to the Commercial Cable company to
run a submarine cable from the United
States to Cuba and Porto Rico. He
does not hold that the secretary of war
has no power to giant such permission,
but he takes the ground that “it would
be inexpedient under all the circum-
stances.”
Mr. Griggs says that, so far as the
landing of the cable in Cuba is concern-
ed, the matter is under the control of
the war department because the Unit-
ed States is exercising in the island of
Cuba administration under the law of
belligerent right. He says the executive
departments have taken the ground
that in view of the. circumstances under
which the United States came into con-
trol of affairs in'Cuba-and in view of
the declared purpose of the government
to retire and leave the government to
the inhabitants it would be inexpedient
to grant applications for concessions,
except in case of absolute necessity.
Mr. Griggs cites the executive order
forbidding concessions or franchises to
be granted except upon the approval of
the secretary of war, and quotes from
the provision of the army appropriation
bill, directing that' no property, fran-
chises or concessions of any kind _what—_
ever shall be granted by the ‘United
States or by any military or other au-
thority whatever in the island of Cuba
during the occupation thereof by the
United States
The attorney general does not concede
the power of congress to enact such
legislation, however, and he says by
implication that it can only be consid-
ered as advisory and not as mandatory
upon the executive departments' This
is his language on this point:
“While not meaning to concede that
congress by legislative act h2as power to
restrain or control the proper exercise
of the powers of the commander in chief
of the army and navy of the United
States occupying under the law of bel-
ligerent right foreign territory-51. ques-
tion that may well be open to doubt—
yet the expressed will and desire of con-
gress, conforming, as it does, to the pre-
viously established policy and practice
of the executive departments, is entitled
to the respect of the executive depart-
ments and ought to be followed.”
As permission to land its cable upon
the soil of Porto Rico seems to depend
upon the grant of a similar right as to
the island of Cuba the attorney general
holds .that the same order should be
made with referencedo that part of the
application, although the circumstances
under which the United States retains
conti‘Ol and government of the two is-
auds are materially different.
Mr. Griggs says the conclusion he has
arrived at renders it unnecessary for
him to .discuss or decide the objection
raised on behalf of the Western Union
Telegraph company, lessee of the Inter-
national Cable company of New York,
which asserts that it has an exclusive
grant under the concession from Spain
made in 1867, which exclusive grant, it
Is held, has not yet expired.
\ Defiant Murderous Arrested.
BOWLING GEL ‘.EN 2 0., March 27.—-
The surrender yesterday of Paul and
John Zeltner, the murderers of Lawyer
W'estenhaver, who for 18 hours defied
arrest at their home, at I—ont’s Corners,
has been attended by an almost com-
plete subsidence of .the excitement, and
it now appears that the whole affair has
been somewhat exaggerated. The men
Were taken'from the house and convey—
ed to the train, and under the protec-
tion of the militia and Sheriff Kings-
nnry, ex—Sheriff Riggs and two deputies
they were taken to the Bowling Green
jail without molestation. A crowd of
about 1,000 people met the train, but
there was no demonstration. At the
iail the Zeltners were very reticent and
did not care to talk of the matter, say-
ing only that they regretted the death
of Clarence Westenhaver, who was kill-
ed in the attack on the house. Mrs.
John Zeltner, who was in the house
with her three children during the trou-
ble, was not molested and is there yet.
Wealth Not Found.
SAN JOSE, Cal, March 27.—The pro-
bate clerk' here is in receipt of a letter
from the manager of the Worcester
(Mass) Spy inquiring about a $2,000,000
estate said to be in probate court here
awaiting the heirs. Several columns of
newspaper clippings from Massachu-
setts papers were inclosed. In these it
is stated that Rev. L. F. Bothezor died
intestate at San Jose, leaving an estate
valued at $2,000,000. The clippings state
that three young ladies of Worcester
are the heirs and that they have made
the proof. There is no such estate in
this county. No such men as the Rev.
Mr. Bothezor ever lived here so far as
the records show.
More Trouble With Negroes.
PADUCAH Ky., March 27. ~Saturday
night as Will; am Johns and his 16- -year-
"old daughter were driving along a pike
near this city they were attacked by
three negro highwaymen. Two assault—
ed Johns and one started for the dough-
ter. Her screams called the attention
of a. man driving ahead of them, and
he hastened back to their rescue. On
his approach the negroes fled, his shots
from a revolver proving ineffectual. A
crowd of angry citizens is in pursuit
with bloodhounds. The mob is equipped
with ropes for a lynching. Johns is one
of the wealthiest farmers in the county.
. Ill of Typhun Fever.
CHELSEA. Mass... March 27. ~Loulg
Abramovitz. a Russian immigrant who
landed in New York 14 days ago, is
quarantined in a local hospital with
typhus fever, an infection which is ex—
ceedingly rare in this part of the world
and which is more contagious and dead-
ly than any other disease which exists

NEW YORK LEGISLATION.
the State Senate Presents an Un-
usual Condition.
ALBANY, March 27.—There seems to
be no prospect of a readjustment of.
party'lines in the senate this week, as
the three Republican senators who bolt-
ed the caucus action on the biennial
ressions bill have become more earnest
in their-protestations of independence
because of having been publicly brand-
ed as traitors and sneaks on the floor
of the senate by the putative Republic--
an leader, Mr. Ellsworth.
It is plainlyhinted by those senators
who oppose the policy of making such
measures the subjects of caucus action
that if the battle is pressed against the
revolters their force will be increased
during the coming week by the addi-
tion of no less a‘person than Senator
Coggeshall, who is already on record
this session as having refused to abide
by the caucus decision on the civil serv-
ice bill. Even‘ such strict party meas-
ures as the New York police bills are
considered to be in jeopardy ifva peace
is not patched up.
The Democratic members of the sen-
ate express not only satisfaction but
Surprise at the virility of the bolt which
has enabled them virtually to direct, for
a week or two at least, all legislation
which goes through the upper house.
The discussions engendered by these di-
visions have had a. depressing effect on
local) bills, and it is thought that an in—
terchange of support in such‘measures
may be the means of finally healing the
breach, w ich now gives a. dark out-
look to strictly Republican legislation.
The senatehas now reached, the most
critical stage, of the session, so far as
political legislation is concerned, and
the coming week is likely to witness
events quite as sensational as those
which'characterized the sessions of last
week. All the more important political
and corporation measures are in a po-
sition for consideration at any time
when their sponsors deem it expedient
to call them up.
THE WAR
IN LONDON.
Praise For American Fighters—No
Doubt About Results.
LONDON, March 27.—The Philippine
campaign had of late rather lost inter-
est for British readers, but today there
is an entire change. All the dispatches
are printed prominently and at length.
Most of the papers contain editorials
expressing admiration of the bravery of
the American troops and sympathy
with them in the difficulties they have
encountered. The general opinion is
that the American victories are not con:
elusive, since the Filipinos have not yet
learned the lesson of the hopelessness
of resisting the United States.
The Standard says: “The Americans
are fighting the rebels with a 'dash and
vigor that are in marked contrast to the
faltering blows aimed at them by the
Spanish generals. Englishmen will read
with sympathy of ~the supcessive
charges of the American infantry across
the open in the face of a. heavy fire.
Work such as this had to be done times
without number in the... course of our.
own empire making.”
The Daily Telegraph says: “All the
accounts show that the Americans will’
have to bear their full Share of the
The experience
the United.States are gathering today
is that of every power which has sought
to found an empire beyond its own
shores.” ,
The Daily News says, “The ultimate
result can hardly be doubted, but strat-
egically Manila is still threatened.”

ened by floods.

Fatal Freight Wreck.
PITTSBURG, March 27.———A freight
wreck yesterday on the FortWayne and
Chicago railroad at Jack's'Run, just be-
low the city, resulted in the death of
two men, the probable fatal injury of
anothe: and the complete destruction
of an engine and ten freight cars. The
loss to the company is about $25, 000. The
cause of the wreck is a mystery. The
Fort \Vayne train was standing still
when an extra freight on the Pennsyl—
vania railroad, heavily laden, "came
dashing up behind at the rate of 30
miles an hour and crashed into it.
