FRENCH COMMENT THE AFFAIR
Investigation Into the Colimi Affair
Displeases the Survivors
Telegraphic News.
Paris, Jaly 11. Figaro thla morning
publishes a statement from James B.
Eustis, United States ambassador to
France, in which he says : "The fact is
now recalled to my memory that Secre
tary Vignaud introduced M. Routisr to
me May 15, not as a journalist, but as a
writer. According to my custom I had a
conversation with him, but I certainly
did not authorize Routier to publish it.
He did not tell me he had such an inten
tion, and if he had, I should hare for
bidden him, as would have been my
duty, to divulge anything of our con
versation, I did not use the language
Routier attributes to me, and I do not
understand why Routier thought he had
a right to invite me to discuss delicate
questions of international politics."
Estafiete, in discussing the affair, re
marks : "It would not require many
such incidents, especially in view of the
effect which it has produced in Spain, to
lead to serious complications with the
United States. The blame rests entirely
with the United States.which, by carry
ing out the application of the Mornoe
doctrine to abnse, and by the iniquity of
their, intervention, disturb European
nations and injure in the end their most
legitimate interests."
SURVIVORS DI9PLBASID.
Investigation Iato the Collma Disaster
Unsatisfactory.
New Yoek, July 11. A special to the
Herald from Guatemala says :
High feeling continues here over the re
sult of the investigation into the recent
loss of the Pacific Mail steamer Colima,
which has cleared its officers of all blame
in the matter. Several of the survivors
of the wrecked vessel are here, too ill to
be moved, and among them there is a
feeling that the United States should
provide for a closer observation of its
steamers. v
Signed statements have been prepared
by a number of the Colima'e passengers,
who tell in detail the story of the wreck.
They condemn the captain of the San
Juan, who left the scene of the disaster
soon aftet it occurred, while lifeboats
containing survivors were tossing about
on the sea so near they could see bis
vessel. '
To Opened to Settlers.
Ban Francisco, July 11. Several
hundred thousand acres of land situated
in the northern part of Los Angeles
county, and heretofore claimed by the
railroad, is likely at any day t be
thrown open by the government for set
tlement. When that will be depends on
the decision of the secretary of the inter
ior. He may do so at once, basing his
action on the decision of Judge Ross in
favor of the United gtates, or he may
await a final determination of the char
acter of the lands by the supreme court
on the appeal which will be entered by
the Southern Pacific Company.
Roughly described, these lands consist
of odd numbered sections south of Mo
jave, west ot the desert of that name,
north of the San Gabriel mountains, and
east of the Elizabeth Lake district, and
comprise a territory 75 miles long by 40
wide. The most important part of . this
region is embraced in what is known as
Antelope valley, which stretches on both
sides of the Southern Pacific branch line
running from Mojave to .Los Angeles be
tween the towns-of Rosemond and Al
pine. The land has an elevation of 1400
icet, and will therefore not produce
oranges, but will water alfalfa, grain,
vegetables and deciduous fruits flourish,

There is more Catarrh iu this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
