DECISION HINGES ON ONE POINT Becrelnrr Smith 8 r ' No Other Cn c Arc AfToctoil \ > j the Special Law , He \VIII Decide In I'nvor uf tha State. WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 23. ( Special Telegram. ) Secretary of the Interior lloke Bmlth today gave a hearing In the South Uakota-Yankton reservation claim case , the arguments beginning at noon and tatting until 2 o'clock In the afternoon. The main argument for the Rtato wag presented by School Land Commissioner Lockhart , and be wai nstlntod by Attorney II. King. The Indians were represented by Stockslager Heard. The point made by the itate agents vas that a special act of congress , contained In the Indian appropriation act , allowing any ntate which was entitled to Indian Indemnity school land * to select such lands In any part of the state prior to the opening of the reservation , repealed and nulliHcJ the article In the agreement betaecn the Indians and the government representative providing that the land should bo opened to settlement by actual bona fide settlers. This belm ; the main point of the defendant * . It was the prlnclpat object at which the repres-utatlves of the Indians aimed their reply. Numerous fcu- prcmo court decltlons wore prc ntod and cltfd to show that an act of congress In order to be repealed must b ? so repealed by a law having only the same subject matter and this same object In view. This act al lowing the state to select lands , the plaintiffs contended , \vas a general provision and not Intended to repeal or make Told the agreement with tha Indian * . This point was argued at length by counsel on both sides. WILL DETERMINE TUB DECISION. Secretary Smith raado a very decisive point when he asked the representatives of the Indians If they could clto any general case whore this law could apply other than the Yanklon case. No eltnllar case or con ditions were named , and the secretary said : "It kwms very clear that If there arc no other outside cases existing to which this special net should apply , the provision In the Indian appropriation act was certainly Intended to apply to the cate at Issus and that this was the Intention of congress In parsing the law. " This statement of the secretary gave ilcssrs. Lockhart and King considprablo en couragement , and thry are Inclined to be lieve that the case Is favorable to them. In the course of the hearing Secretary Smith said th.it although It was reasonable to no mine that the special act applied to the Yanlitnn case , he old not believe fora moment that If the majority of the members of congress knew that In passing this act they were setting Hside and nullifying a solemn agreement vlth the Indians this measure would h.tvo become a law. In closing the case the secretary said that if upon careful Investigation he found no outside cases to which this special provision In the Indian bill alluded , he would assume that the pro vision MBS Intended to repeal the article in the agreement and give the sUite of South Dakota the right to file on the lands In ques- fion , and ho would BO decide the case. The decision of the department will prob ably bo prepared In the ofllce of Assistant Attorney General Hall , who Is familiar with the cases and was an Interested listener to the arguments at the hearing. Instructions will be given , however , by Secretary Smith who has taken a personal Interest In the case It cannot be told when the decision will bo announced. Commissioner Lockhart will leave for the west tomorrow morning. Attorney King will start Saturday morning to bo present at Chamberlain during the term of court at that place.

When the United States supreme court on Hay G ngaln takes up the liicomo tax case It will ouco more go Into the merits of all the points Involved and will not , as Its ordct made Tuesday apparently stated , confine the Arguments to the question whether or not a rehearing of the cases shall be granted. This unexpected explanation of the court's orders shown that whnt It intended to state In Its ambiguous announcement was that It had granted tbo petition for a rehearing and If the bench was full on that date named would reopen the cases on May C. This or der of the court , It Is stated , WAR drawn hastily and It was not noticed at the time that It was ambiguous and apparently Justi fied the conclusion that the court had de cided simply to hear arguments on the ques tion of granting a rehearing. The attorney gcircral was at some loss to understand just the extent to which the court desired him to go In hln argument. In reopening the cases the court , It Is stated will not vacate tliu order It has made al- rcatly , but It will let Its decision stand foi the present and will only modify the origi nal entry In the event that as a result ol 'i the argument a majority of the court de cides to overrule the conclusions heretofore reached. The complete reopening of the < ase.s wllll necessitate continuous and hard work on the part of the counsel so as to be prepared lor the court. The attorney general - oral , the counsel for the government on this occasion , will go most fully and elabor ately Into all the points Involved and es pecially Into the question of direct taxa tion. The government will represent that the Importance of the cases mnko It de sirable that a week should be allowed foi argument on each side. If allowed , the argument , In the matter of length , may bcai so mo comparison to the exhaustive * hearing before the Paris arbitration tribunal on tht Dcrlng sea question. The explanation now given unolllclally by the court of the meaning - ing of Its order Indicates a probability thai before flnnl adjournment of the court foi the present term a final determination o the full court on the mooted Income tna question may bo expected. While It Is the purpose of the supremi court to have the whole case reargupd am the merits gene Into at full length in orde. that a final disposition of the question may bi speedily reached , yet there Is good reasoi to believe the vagueness of It * recent ordei was duo to some doubts still remaining as ti the condition of Justice Jackson's health The action of the court in fixing upon MR : < ! far the beginning of the reargument wa Aomeihlng of a turprhe to the olllcers of th Department of Justice.

A distinction has alwayn been made between he appointments to classes -workmen irhcse neglect of duty might cause danger or loath , and those on whim ao such responsi bility can fall. Carpenters and model repairers are subject o competitive examinations , while engineers , : hough required to prove their ability and skill , are not subject to It , Their personal habits and general relia bility have been considered to be the first question and their relative skill the second.

BE LOME ON THE CUBAN WAR Twenty-Tour Thcmand Fresh TrcopatoBa Sent from Spain. THINKS THE TROUBLES ARE ABOUT ENDED Spanish Minister 11ns Urcnt Faith In Mar tinet de Cam pot' Generalship Snya the Alllaucn Affair Scenn to lluro llcen Satlsfnctorily Settled. NEW YORK , April 25. The Spanish steamer Panama arrived at Quarantine from Havana. Among the passengers is M. Dupuy do Lome , the Spanish minister to Washington. Ho said : "The excitement caused by the troubles In Cuba Is dying out. I am confident they will soon bo set tled. Captalu General Martinez de Campos will arrive In Havana In a few days after his return from the affected districts , where he Is visiting to suppress any disorder that may arise. The alleged Insurrection Is con fined chiefly to negroes , the whites not taking an active part , " In an Interview with an Associated press reporter on board the revenue cutter which brought him up from quarantine Senor de Lomo spoke of the exaggerated reports sent out from the Island concerning the progress of the Insurrection , and added : "The news paper correspondents have made me say and do all manner of things from the time of my arrival at Cuba of which 1 am not aware of saying or doing. " In answer to a question concerning tha Alllanca Incident the minister said : "My mission to America Is to talk politics to the authorities at Washington. As for the matter of the firing upon the steamer Al llanca I have nothing to say. It Is a mat ter that seems to have been already 'satis factorily settled. I must say , however , that I think It would have been wiser for the captain of the Alllanca to have stopped when It-quested and then sought for In demnity afterwards. "Concerning General Campos and his plans , I think it Is worthy of note , as a character istic of the excellent soldier and tactician that ho Is , how little has been said about him since his arrival. The general U a most patriotic man , who has nothing to gain by the present campaign. It is Ills policy to be as lenient as possible with the insurrectionists except In the case of leaders. They vtlll be most severely dealt with. The government proposes to send to Cuba 24,000' men In all before the 1st day of May. With this force there can be no doubt as to the fate of the Insurrec tionists. General Campos has with him two of his sons , Miguel , the marquis of Ilazdan , who holds the rank of first lieutenant , nni Josef , who Is a second lieutenant. The former is a young man who has given up a life of leisure to endure the hardships of a Cuban campaign In the hot season. "Statements have bjen ma3e that the money General Campos brought with him was to be used to buy off the leaders of the revolution It Is well known that this policy was pursuet during the last Insurrection In Cuba , but the government has no intention of repeating the mistake In the present Instance. The revolu tion Is to be stamped out by force of arms. "Estimates by conservative men who have been among the revolutionary forces place the number of men at about 3,000 , not more than one-half of whom are armed and equipped We estimate their number at about 4,000 will the same armed proportion. It Is a dlfllrult mat ter to get a correct Idea of their numbers , for one day many of them will be at work on the crops and the next they are off on a skirmishing expedition. Four thousand , how ever. Is certainly a most liberal estimate am they are of a class that would scarcely be taken seriously In America. "At present there are eight modern Spanlsl war vessels In Cuban waters. Seven of these are second class cruisers and one Is of the first class. The shlj > I came over on will General Campos was the Ilelna Marie Crls Una , the vessel In which the Princess Eulallo came to this country. It Is not Intended , I think , to send any more ships to Cuba than are at present on the way there. " OiVINO THL JMSUIUJK.M.S NO KKS1 Uugngoment with Scattered llnudi Are ot Dally Occurrence.

About the only tangible evldc iceiAgainst Durrani , the medical student accutfd ot having killed Minnie Williams , that has been adduced In the preliminary examination so far Is that the prisoner wai betttir acquainted with the dead girl than ho ml-first would acknowl edge. It has been _ shown that he lied In regard to that particular point. Durrant has not been positively Identified as having been seen about the church where the mur ders occurred during ttio evening when the deeds were committed. There arc , however , many witnesses to Come. Hov. John G cor no Gibson , the preacher of the church against whom some suspicions have been publicly expressed as being the guilty man , possibly because of the preju dice among many people against preachers in general , had a long siege in the witness box yesterday and ho Is stated for the rack again this morning. The district attorney's questions to the minister did not detain him long , but the cross-examination seemed In terminable. Dr. Gibson did not enjoy him self. The lawyers were austere with him and the judge was sarcastic. General Dickinson , attorney for the de fense , took the preacher over the whole course of his life , from his birth In Edin burgh to the day of the discovery of Minnie Williams' bloody body In his church , and every question seemed to veil an Insinuation. The minister answered promptly , but was disposed to be excruciatingly exact In his answers. He fldgcted a good deal. Everybody enjoyed the parson's discom fiture. The district attorney , to be sure , did put In one objection to save him from an noyance , but Judg ; Conlan swept It aside and did some prodding of the pastor him self. self.The The length of the cross-examination and the manner of it , Indicate that Durrani's lawyers propose to throw the preacher for ward as the center of their theory of the murders for , of course , when they contend that Durrant did not commit the crimes they must supply a noislble substitute , and llev. John George Gibson understands Just what they are about. It Is hard to psrcelve Just how the defense will connect the preacher with this murder , for he was at the party of Emanuel church young people t Dr. Vogel's house that night from 7:30 : o'clock until aboui * 1 , while Dur rant , who should have been there to act as secretary , did not appear until 9:30. : Still , the undercurrent of opinion among those who doubt Durrani's guilt Is that the preacher should be the man under police surveillance. Albert O. McElroy , aged IS , testified that on Friday evening , the 12th , be observed a man resembling Durrant waiting on a corner near the church. Soon a young woman came along. The man approached' her and shielded her with his shoulder from wit ness' observation. Soon afterward witness , who had passed on , noticed a light moving In the church. This testimony was corrob orated by Bert Miner , McElroy's companion. The other evidence adducd was the same as thai given at the Inquest. The examina tion was continued until tomorrow at the request of the district attorney. Durrant has secured a desk and an easy chair In his cell and spends his time In studying his notes for his medical examina tion. _ TO KECEIV.E CATHOLIC KNIGHTS Local riau for the ICiitortiitnincnt of the VlnHorn Next Mouth.
