KRUGER'S FORCES HESITATE TO STRIKE THE FIRST BLOW Preparations for War Continue on Both Sides, but No mportant Movements of Troops Have Ta_k_en Place.

Lieutenant Brennan of the gunboat Laguna de Bai headed the expedition. There wera no casualties. On Monday morning the expedition en- tered the river and anchored above Orani, near the Urdaneta, the {nhabitants of the | town simultaneously evacuating it, carrying their belongings with them. The gunboats bombarded Orani, the beaches and the surrounding country for haif an hour, receiving a Mauser volley in retur: The Urdaneta was towed off the bar | about 10 o'clock that evening, the opera- tions of the Americans being unmolested. The foliowing morning the bombard- ment was reopened to cover a landing of | 180 bluejackets and marines about half & mile above the town. On entering Orani | 2 Americans experienced a slight rifle ire from the Filipinos In the trenches. They found the town untenanted, and that the sbells had ignited a few huts. The Archbishop of Manila informed General Otls that there was a plot on foot to burn the residences of the Gov- ernor General and the Archbishop, to- gether with several Government buildings and ba but the plot falled to materi- alize, possibly because of a display of force. The first reports regarding the affair at Paranaque last night appear to have been much exaggerated. The facts are that a small band of insurgents, follow- | ing the bay road, poured a volley into the village and later another into Los Pinos, | with the result that two or three houses | were burned. The cracking of the bam- | boo caused it to be reported in Manila that there had been much shcoting. The United Stai transport from San Francisco, with 1200 recruits has arrived.

Supreme Court Shuts Them Out of Their 0ld Homes. The Supreme Court has handed down a long decision in the case of J. Downey Harvey, administrator, and the Mer- chants’ Exchange Bank of San Francisco against Alejandro Barker and others. The defendants and appellants are Pueblo or Mission Indians, living In San Diego County, and they claim on a possessory right extending back unnumbered years The land is In tbree parcels of 1.907, 266.45 | and 120 acres. The plaintiff, representing the estate of John G. Downey, claims title to the prop- erty under a Mexican grant to Juan Jose Warner in 184) and 1844. The Indians con- | tend that this grant specified that their ancestors and their descendants were not to be disturbed or interfered with. The Warner grant was approved by the United States Government in 18%) and a patent issued therefor. The Supreme Court | holds that in issuing the patent this Gov- ernment, by its official Land Commission- did 'so only after a thorough investi- ion as to all claims adverse to the cntee, and if no such claims were pre- sented it was to be inferred that none ex- | isted. The court halds that the decision of the Tand Commissioners of the United States t the Jand in question was at the time it was granted vacant and subject to ab- solute allenation is conclusive on the de- fendants and_all others. Also that the | grant of the Valle de San Jose was not subject to any right or interest in the Indians, and that the grant is conclusive against them. Justices Beatty, McFar- land and Temple wrote dissenting opin- jons, taking the position that the grant | to Warner, as interpreted by them, speci- | fled that the christianized Mission Indians | and their descerndants should not ba dis- turbed in their right to live ugfln at least some of the lands. Also that the Indians’ titles to lands like these In question are not necessary to be presented in the form of clalms to the Land Commissioners, They are wards of the nation and their rights should have been preserved by the officials, as poor is not supposed to know anything about his rights or the province of Commissiones —_—— Jacksonville, Fla., has a successful os- trich farm, the only one in the United Btates outside of California. a| | ‘r | get out within twenty-four hours.

Colonel Frost announced to the men that he would have the time for the departure of the train published in all the news- papers as soon as he could find out for certain just when it would be ready. The men have scattered all over the city, however, and it will be lucky if there is not a large percentage of them left be- hind.

Once it was one of the handsomest in this part of the State. It occuples a half block at Ninth and F streets, and the mansion sits upon the crest of a gently sloping terrace. practically deserted for years 0 it has been well kept up, and the groun fragrance as in the d elaborately there.

When Charles Crocker began to accumulate wealth from the earnings of the Central Pacific Rallroad he sold off the little house, and, purchasing the rest of the half block, built the present stately mansfon. It was here that the family lived and enter- tained up to the time when they took up their residence on Nob Hi 1, San Fran- elsco. standing nearly sixty feet high.

He was act- | ing major when he returned from the isl- ands, and he brought with him a record for courage and soldierly qualfties that did much toward winning for him the gold oak leaves he now wears.
