In the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday argument was begun in the La Abra Silver Mining Company case, which has been before the country in one form or another since 1870, when an award of $683 000 was made in favor of the company against the government of Mexico and the money paid into the United States treasury, but payment of which never occurred owing to charges of fraud in the proof supplied by the company in the prosecution of its case. The purpose of the present proceed- ing is to foreclose the claims of the com- pany against the money paid in by Mexico. It is an appeal from the Court of Claims, in which tribunal the decision was against the mining company. Messrs. Crammond Kennedy and J. M. Wilson appear for the La Abra Company and Mr. William A. Maury for the United States. In the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday afternoon arguments were concluded in the case of R. Dunlap & Co against the United States, involving a claim for the rebate of taxes paid on alcohol for use in manufacturing hats. The case for the United States was presented by Attor- ney General Griggs and Assistant Attorney General Binney, and the closing argument for the appellants by Joseph H. Choate of New York. The case involves a large sum and a principle that is of extraordinary in- terest to those using alcohol for manufac- turing and in the arts. It will probably be several weeks before the court decides the case. —_—_—_—__+-e+ ,____ Protests of the Indians. ‘The large delegation of Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians who have been here some days had a long conference behind closed doors with Commissioner Jones late yester- day afternoon. They made a_ protest against the Indian agent in charge of the reservation, protesting, among other things, against his making them live on their al lotments and his methods of issutng rations and other enforcements of the rules and policy of the agency. Though agreeing to consider the statements made, the officials are inclined to sustain the agent as acting in the best interests’of the Indians.

An Army of 140,000 Men Ready to Re- sist Pretender. LONDON, December 1.—The Biarritz cor- respondent of the Daily Mail says: “Senor Sagasta, who has hitherto been skeptical on the point, now admits that Carlism is the greatest existing danger to Spain. The authorities are seriously alarmed at the in- dications of an imminent rising. The Carlist plans have been elaborately devised, even to the extent of appointing a governor of Madrid.” The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail says: “Lieut. Gen. Correa, minister of war, declares that the government has 140,000 troops in readiness to take the fleld in the event of a Carlist rising, and will soon have 200,000 available. He says, how- ever, he does not believe that the Carlists intend to move yet. “Don Carlos, in his forthcoming -mant- festo, will make a strong appeal to the army. The Carlists disagree among them- selves as to the advisability of an immedi- ate movement. The military element is im- patient, but the civilians urge the useless- ness of an attempt to rise until the Carlista are assured of the help of the army.” The Rome correspondent of the Daily Mail says: “The pope has been so much im- pressed by the alarm expressed by the pa- pal nuncio at Madrid at the possibility of civil war that, with the consent of the queen regent, and with a view of avoiding blood- shed, he has opened negotiations with Don Carlos, proposing that Don Jaime, the pre- tender’s son, should marry Princess Mary of the Asturias.” The government has received an import- ant dispatch from the Philippine Islands, in which it is stated that Aguinaldo, the in- surgent leader, demands $1,500,000 for the release of the imprisoned friars. +o + If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.
