WASIIINCTON.Jan. l.'i.-The I'liitcd
tltiites Supreme Court ycKterdity an
nounced Us ilicision In the case of C. V.
F. Nccly, charKwl Willi ciiiliczzlcniciit of
the public funds of Cuba while acting as
financial ngcut of the department uf
posiH of that island, tniMlug thut Nccly
was subject to et radii iou.
Justice I In rln n handed dowu the
court's opinion, which wits unniiiiuous,
and Immediately utter the opinion was
concluded un order was issued requiring
that the luamlutc in the case be issued at
once.
The oplniuu embraced a complete re
view of the ease, detailed the laws relat
ing to eMruditloii mid quoted the act of
June 'i. I'.Mi, extending the provisions of
sec! ion o.L'TO of the revised stututcs to
foreign countries "K'cuphd or under the
control of the I'nited Slates" so as to
make the luw cover uiuotig other crimes
euiber..lcincut hi such cuuiitrlcs, relat
ing that the circuit court fur the southern
district of New York, to which an applf
cntiou for n writ of hnlicas corpus had
been made, luul rendered a decision ad
vcise to Nccly's claims. Justice Harlan
said Nis'ly hud then appealed to this
court on the ground that Ihe act of June
tl, I'.MMJ was unconstitutional. Entering
llicn upon his reasoning on the case. Jus
tice lliiiluu said that there was no dis
pute that on the sixth of June, l'.KK),
when the act under which this proceed
ing is brought became a law, Cuba was
"under the control of the I'ldtcd Slates"
and "occupied by tliiH government."
"This ourt," he said, "w ill take judi
cial notice that such were, at the date
named und are now, the relations be
tween this ciniiilry and Cuba. So that
Ihe applicability of the alxive act to the
present raw and this Is the first ques
tion to he examined depends upon the
inquiry whelher, within its meaning
Cuba Is to be deemed u foreign country or
territory." Continuing, lie said:
"We do not think tills question at all
dillicult of solution if regard he had to
the avowed object inlcuded to Ik' accom
plished by the war with Spain and by the
military M-ciipatiou of that island."
Justice I l.i rlitii then revicwtsl the legis
lation preceding tlie war with Spain, the
protocol between the I'nited Suites and
Spain and the Paris treaty.
Announcing the court's conclusions on
the status of Cuba, Justice Harlan said:
"The facts above detailed make it clear
that Cuba is forcimi territory within the
moaning of the act of June ii, I'.kmi. It
cannot he regarded in any constitutional,
legal or international sense, as a part of
Ihe territory of the I'nited States. The
legislative unit executive branches of the
government by the joint resolution of
April 20, IS! is, expressly disclaimed any
purpose of exen isiug sovereignly, juris
diction or control over Cuba, 'except for
the paciticnlioii thereof,' nud asserted the
di -termination of the I'nited States, that
object Isdiig accomplished, to have the
go crnuii'iit and control of Cuba to its
own people. So far us the court is In
formed by the public history of the rela
tions of this country with that island
nothing hits been done Inconsistent with
the diH'lurcd object of the war with
Spain.
"Cuba is none the less foreign territory
williiu the moaning of the act of congress
because it is under n military governor
nppoiutisl by and representing the presi
dent. The occupancy of the island by
troops of the I'nilcd States was' the
necessary result of the war and Cuba is
territory held In trust for the inhabitants
of Culm to whom it rightfully belongs
and lo whose exclusive control it will be
surrendered when a slable government
shall have boon established by their vol
untary action."

nf Brlg-hl' Dl-ea.e, l rued Yesterday.
PEKIN, Jan. 14. The joint note of
the powers has dually been signed by the
I Chinese peace commissioners. Prince
I Ching signed Saturday and Li Huug
i Chans, who is better, signed it yesterday.
It is understood that the malady from
which l.i Hung Chang is suffering is
Blight's disease. He was feeling worse
Saturday and therefore postponed the
alUxlug uf his signature; but Prince
Ching wus hopeful that he would be able
to sign yesterday, which proved to be
the case.
Prince Ching has protested to the court
against the appointment said to be con
templated, of Viceroy Cluing Chih Tune
as a plenipotentiary iu the place of Li
Hung Chang. He thinks the latter' s ad
vice absolutely esscntiul, although he be
lieves it might be udvisuble t an o iut a
third plenipotentiary for '' .i ,t B;i ; reit
erates his desire for the i,,. iment of
Sheng who would be r. .ep..i'oe to t Lo
foreigners.
So far as Chang Chih Tuug con
cerned, the foreign envoys who know him
personally, say that while he is strongly
anti-foreign and hits never made any se
cret of his likes and dislikes, they believe
he would be a sati; factory representative
of toe Chinese and there would not be
any objections to him un the score of bis
recent utterances. Indeed some of th
ministers think it would be wise for Chi
na to make Cluing Chih Tung a plenipo
tentiary. Most of the envoys have re
ceived word from their governments that
the negotiations must he conducted In
I'ckin on the ground that for vurious rea
sons other places suggested would be ob
ject iounhle.
