Await President McKinley’s Signing of the Bill Throwing the Tract Open to Settlers. ——— Spectal Dispatch to The Call. | LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30.—The time limit on the signing of the saline land bill is | nearly up. Congress passed a bill ten| days ago opening the salt lands on the| Colorado Desert to settlers and the rush | for the lands began a day or two ulteri Since its passage | by Congress nothing more has been heard | from the bill The President had ten days in which | to sign it and unless he did so it would | then become a law. On the other hand, just as soon as he signed it the bill be- | came the law. The rival factions at Sal- ton are ready to locate claims the very | minute the word is received that the bill | has either been signed or has become a | law by lapse of time. The parties most | at interest are on the ground and when | the word does come that the signature has been affixed to the bill a college foot- ball rush will be tame in comparison with | the manner in which the iwo gangs of ! men in the employ of the New leerponl and Standard salt companies will grab | the land. The injunction obtained from the River- side court to restrain the representatives from entering upon certain lands now claimed by the New Liverpool Company | turns out to affect but a small portion of | the lands which have heretofore been‘ used and occupled by the latter company | for mining and purifying salt. Hence, it | may be that some of the mines of the company may fall to the lot of the rival | salt companies or the employes of the | company itself may make a strike. At any rate, the eagerly awaited mes- sage from Washington means a hot time in the town of Salton for a few hours | after its recefpt. It will take but a few minutes to place the location monuments, | 50 many men are now on the ground, and | each has been thoroughly drilled in his | particular work. Four men could put the corner monuments in less than five min- utes after the message arrives and then | the claims are good for all time long | as the assessment work Is done cach year. | If the rival gangs of men get to fighting | the lives of some of them may be lost. | A Washington dispatch says the saline | ! | bill is with the Secretary of the Interior. | He will soon report it back to the Presi- dent with his zpproval or disapproval. | DOCTORS PRONOUNCED ADAM SWEIGERT SANE | Experts Had Passed Upon the Late | Capitalist’s Mental Con- ! dition. | SAN JOSE, Jan. 3).—The fight now be- | ing waged over the estate of the late | Adam Sweigert developed the fact to- day that the deceased once had himself | examined by a number of doctors to as- certain his own mentgl condition.

He will arrive in London on | Saturday and on Sundav will deposit al wreath upon the casket containing her Majesty's remains.

CUBANS 0PPOSE A PROTECTORATE Believe Americans Are Ob- structing Work of the Convention. Hostility Is Deepened by Assertion That Capitalists Will Cause Con- stitution to Be Pigeon- Holed. G T S Special Cable to The Call and New York Her ald. Copyright, 191, by the Herald Pub lishing Company. HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 30.—The present | | temper of the Cuban eople !s against the this | United States protectorate, but should not be taken as conclusive of their final judgment. The feeling is partly due to the bellef that American officials are obstructing the work of the convention in order tu | prevent it from adopting a constitution in time for action by Congress. This has | created an anti-American feeling, espe- clally in towns which are the centers of ADVERTISEMENTS. Our Monster CLOSING-OUT SALE 'WINTER | political agitation, and has spurred the | delegates with thelr work. The hostility has been deepened by the assertion. of American capitalists and military officers that the United States | would pigeonhole the constitution for a | year and then reject It. The result has been Lo give full control | to the Radicals, who have drafted and | will soon adopt a constitution wu.ch has no suggestion of a vrotectorate. Most of the delegates violently resented to-day intimations that Washington ex- pected a protectorate, but their real sen- timents may be disclosed later when the | relations of Cuba with the United States are formulated. Some of tnem, in pri- vate sessions of the convention, when the | first draft of the constitution was dis- cussed, favored leaving out anv provision for an army and navy and the inclusion of specific arrangements with the United | States for a militarv reservation and naval stations as wel! as an exclusive commercial treaty, but they yielded to the pressure of Badical ovinions. If senti- ment develops for a protectorate it will | come from the joint action of the business community and the country people. Un- til recentiy commercial classes have re- fused to believe that the United States in- tended to carry out the joint resolution passed by Cqngress. and disturbedy but when they see steps actually taken\they will combine to in- fluence members of the convention to reach some understanding with the Amer- | ican Government. That moment has be- gun. The country people have been dis- trustful of annexation and suspicious of the American policy, but are pot unfriend- ly and they do not seem to'want the United States authority entirely with- drawn.
