Lincoln dispatch to the Omaha Bei
Attorney General Smyth filed a lor
affidavit in the district court here t
day in support of his motion to dS
solve the injunction obtained by tl
Bartley bondsmen to prevent the fu
ther prdsecution of the case again
them on the bond until after the sta
first prosecutes and determines tl
liability of the Omaha National bar
on its depository bond for $201,884 <
Bartley's shortage.
In the aflldivit filed the attorney gei
eral insists that the injunction is n <
sustained by the facts in the case. r
says a number of the allegations in tl
petition for a permanent injunctic
are untrue , especially wherein it is a
leged that the principles and the sur
ties on the depository bond ever agret
to indemnify the sureties of Bartl (
on his individual bond from loss , Car
age or liability by reason of the coi
version , diversion or loss by embe
zlement of the deposits in the Omal
National bank. He also denies that tl
petition tells the truth when it sa :
Bartley's bond was never approve
by the governor. Mr. Smyth furtbj
avers that neither the governor nt
himself has ever claimed , nor did th <
ever claim , that the Omaha Nation
bank is liable on the depository bor
for the whole or any part of the mo :
ey embezzled by Bartley. Neither
it true , he adds , that the bondsmt
of Bartley "are not able to plead , n <
are they wholly remediless , except t
the interposition of a court of equit
to sue at law and get justice in tin
way. In fact , says Mr. Smyth , the ;
is not enough truth in the allegation
contained in the petition to justify tl
issuance of any injunction by tl
* : ourt.
The contention raised in this sui
the attorney general explains , is by i
means a new oneBartley's bond
men raised it and argued on the poii
before Judge Dickinson during the tri ;
in Omaha of the suit when it was ;
first brought. Judge Dickinson hi
held against the contention in a wrl
ten decision which the attorney gei
eral says he will submit to Judge Fro ;
before whom the injunction suit is i
be tried in the district court here. Tl
same question was argued at lengin i
the briefs filed by the bondsmen wh
the supreme court passed on the cas
and the attorney general points to tl
fact that the supreme court decided tl
case generally in his favor as rath (
indicating what its stand in the ma
ter was.

STATUTE OF USES.
State Supreme Court Holds as Not
Force In This Statn.
Chief Justice Harrison has writt
an opinion for the supreme court , ho ]
ing that the "statute of uses" is not
force Ju this state , it not being of t
of Nebraska. This "statute
" involves a point of the comm
IAV handed down from the time
Henry VIII. of England and has i
v/ays been a much disputed poi
among Nebraska attorneys. The E
preme court has never ruled on it I
fore , hence the importance of the t
clsion to the lawyers of the state.
The decision is in the case of t
Farmers' and Merchants' Insuran
company against Ivers Jansen , tak
to the supreme court on error from t
district court in Saunders county. T
court adheres to its original decisi
in the suit , which was a reversal a
remanding of the case , and holds th
the "statute of uses" is not of the 1 ;
of the state and therefore cannot
enforced. The original statute of us
adopted during the reign of Hen
VIII , was set forth in full in the plea
ings and the following interpretati
was placed upon it by one of the i
torneys in the case :
"If A , owning real estate , shall co
vey or will it to B , under an agreeme
between them that notwithstanding t
conveyance A , or some other person
corporation , shall have the rents
profits arising from the real esta
notwithstanding the conveyance ma
by A under that agreement , he shi
have the title he had before he ma
the conveyance. "
In the case in Question the defen
ant transferred his property to 1
wife and the wife transferred it to
third person who afterward transfc
red it back to her. Jansen claim
all this was done with the agreeme
between himself and wife that t
property was to be for his use and
remain under his control and directic
When there was a loss on the insi
ance policy the insurance company
serted that the property had chang
title , without the consent of the coi
pany , and that the transactions we
directly contrary to the terms of t
policy. The original owner claim
the property had not changed hands ,
least that there had been no change
the insurance interest. Re claim
that he had the same title he had I
fore the conveyance was made , arg
ing on the supposition that the st
ute of uses was in force. The low
court gave Jansen a judgment again
the insurance company , but the deci
ion of the supreme court reverses
and remands it for another trial wi
instructions to the court below th
the statute of uses is not in force.
Some lawyers assert that the "sts
ute of uses" if applicable at all in t !
United States , would not be in ti
states comprising the Louisiana pu
chase , that territory never having be <
under the control of England or su
ject to its common law. Missouri
the only state in the territory th
has given a decision on the point , ai
it is considered of importance b
cause in that state there is a statu
on the subject In a number of eas
ern states the courts have held th
the statute of uses is still in force.

BLAME SANGUILLY.
Cubans Say Ho Is at the Bottom of U
favorable Reports.
HAVANA , May 15. General Com
has sent a message to Governor Ge
eral Brooke that he will do hims <
the pleasure of calling at headquarte
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock for
further conference regarding the pa
ment of the Cuban troops. The appoir
ment for the interview is the resi
of a direct inquiry as to what Gene
al Gomez intended to do in view of tl
resignation and non-appearance of :
the Cuban officers nominated by him
represent the several corps in the di
tribution of the M3.000.000. Gener
Brooke is determined to disregard f
the present the reports that reach hi
from various sources as to the allegi
intention of Gomez to withdraw h
co-operation and thus to throw in
confusion the carefully atured plai
for distributing the fund.
He believes that the personal inte
view tomorrow ought to adjust tl
temporary perplexity. He is unwil
ing to consider Gomez as insincere i
as acting in bad faith , but the gove
nor general still retains the discreti (
reposed in him by President MeKinl <
to abandon the effort to disband tl
late insurgents with the gratuity ar
to send back the entire amount to tl
United States.
The Cuban general , Raefel Rodr
guez , speaking for Gomez today , sa
that the reports of a difference wil
General Brooke were absolutely ui
true. The attitude of Gomez , ne d
clared , had undergone no change ar
the principal generals of the Cuban a
my , as well as the rank and file , coi
tinned to support Gomez as they a
ways had.
He flatly denied that there had bee
any meeting of Cuban officers i
which Gomez had been present or he
with his approval where a decisic
had been reached not to surrender tl
arms , and he explained that all tl
talk about a revolt in the army again :
the surrendering of the arms was tl
work of members of the former mil
tary assembly , "a group of malcoaten
behind Manuel Sanguilly , who can gh
no trouble and are not worth conside
ation. "
In explaining the withdrawal of tl
Cuban generals who were appoints
to serve with the Americans in dii
tributing the $3,000,000 General Rodr
guez said that Rojas probably witl
drew owing to the anti-Gomez infii
ence ; Nodarse because General Broot
had not appointed him civil governc
of Havana , and Monteaguedo becaus
he was busy in the province of Sam
Clara , giving Major General Wilson it
benefit of his co-operation there. Rot
riguez expressed himself as confidei
that other officers of equal prominenc
and authority would be found to a <
with the Americans. As early as Marc
22 , Gomez agreed that the arms shoul
be stored in the military custody of tl
United States. This plan was clearl
understood by the Cubans. Neverth <
less the politicians and some of tli
more restless Cuban officers are toda
talking in a warlike strain , spreadin
axciting stories about "taking to tfc
woods" and fighting the American !
and attributing to Gomez things L
aever said.
Year of Jubilee Decreed.
WASHINGTON , May 15. The pap ?
bull issued in Rome within the las
few days decreeing that the year 190
shall be a jubilee throughout tb
church is expected here shortly an
will be announced in all churche
throughout the country.
The issuance of a bull on the subjec
gives it special solemnity. It has bee
the custom to hold jubilees of th
church every twenty-five years , an
at one time these were the occasio
for the gathering of vast concourse
at Rome to receive the special dispen
sations and indulgences allowed dui
ing jubilee years. It is expected , how
3ver , by the highest church authoritie
here that the jubilee next year will b
tiuite generally celebrated throughou
the world , thus giving it a more uui
/ersal aspect instead of being centere
it Rome , though doubtless it will lea
to many pilgrimages to Rome and th
gathering there of distinguish
churchmen.
The jubilee next year is considere
more important than that held ever ;
twenty-five years , as it ushers in ;
new century and comes at a time whei
Pope Leo is old and very feeble , hi
