Washington.—ClnUns amounting to
nearly SliMMHKl.HHi for the discovery
of nitrates and guano will be pressed
against the Peruvian government, ac
cording to provisions of the will of
John (’destine Landreau. filed In the
District o| Columbia Supreme court.
I.mulreau, who was the brother of
Jean Theophlle I.anilrcnu, French
scientist mid explorer of New York,
who discovered nitrates while on an
expedition in Sunt li America in 1844,
names bis grandson, Norman B. Lan
dreau, and Attorney Martin J. Mc
Namara trustees and executors of Ills
estate.
Following Ids discovery Jean I.an-
dreau applied to the government for
It reward, granted under laws exist
ing at that time, whereby any one dis
covering minerals or metals that
would enrich the government were en
titled to remuneration.
The original claim, according to the
l-elt-s, was for $100,(MX), wlih-h finally
was recognized by the government in
1805, but never paid. Later the ex
plorer ret timed to Ids home in New
York to obtain funds for development
of bis discovery mid to make further
explorations in South American coun
tries. .
Other claims were filed under each
administration from the time of Presi
dent Hayes, and In each instance the
Peruvian government acknowledged
i.t.- indebtedness, but postponed settle
ment, it is said.
It is set forth that the Peruvian
government Inis netted millions in rev
enue from the development of nitrate
deposits, borrowing money from Great
Britain to carry on the work.
Upon tlic dentil of tho explorer, John
Oelcstlne Ltirtdrenu was named execu
tor and sole licit- of all right and title
in tlie claims against the Peruvian
government. Shortly before bis death
on March 4 the State department an
nounced that an agreement had been
reached with the Peruvian government
whereby the i-lnims would be paid the
heirs of the explorer.
Mrs. Marie D.veer, daughter of John
Celesfinc I.andreau, is the sole heir
to tlie interests and estate of her un

Durango, Col.—Discovery of prehis
toric ruins of what is believed to have
been n different race of eillV dwellers
from those who inhabited the ruins
in the Mesa Verde national park was
reporti>d by Charles Hayes, who just
returned from an exploration trip.
The discovery, he said, was made
in an almost inaccessible region to the
north of the Navajo mountains, un
marked by trails. Hayes said lie be
lieved he was the first white man to
view the ruins, many of which were
larger and better preserved than those
in tlie National park.
Tlie dwellings were found, be said,
at the point where tin* mountains
break away into the deep canyons that
open Into the San Juan and Colorado
rivers. ,

Cockroach Racing is Latest
Constantinople,—Betting on cock
roach races Is one of the newest sports
here. It was introduced by a Russian
who has just opened a hall where a
man who wants some real excitement
for ills money can get results. The
hall is darkened at the moment tlie
race is to begin. Then a single elec
tric light at the end of a runaway Is
turned on, and tlie cockroaches, each
on a separate track, are freed from
their rages to race for the light.
