SANTA MARIA DE PUERTO PRINCIPE (Cuba), September 27.—A semi-official newspaper, El Fanal, the organ of the Union Constitutional or Ultra-Conservative Spanish party in Cuba, in a leading article makes the startling assertion to-day that Spain, backed by England, Italy and Mexico, is about to demand $500,000,000 indemnification from the United States on account of the filibustering expeditions organized by naturalized American citizens and dispatched from American ports to re-enforce the Cuban insurgents. England, Italy and Mexico, the article goes on to state, having pooled their interests in order, at an opportune moment, to humiliate the United States and force from the Government complete renunciation of the Monroe doctrine, requested, some time ago, the concurrence of Spain in a joint naval demonstration against the leading ports of the United States. They have only been awaiting Spain's acceptance of the invitation to carry out the plan. tinguished service to the state, have been sold under the auctioneer's hammer.

ENLARGEMENT WILL EQUALIZE THE BALANCE OF POWER NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE SANDWASH. EDITOR GAZETTE.—Pern it me to offer a few thoughts on the proposed extension of the Anaheim Union Water Company's district. It is now eleven years since the Cajon Company and the Anaheim Water Company consolidated with a capital stock of 12,000 shares and 12,000 acres of land within the limits of the district. Nearly 7,000 shares were then subscribed and not a share has been sold since. An agreement was then entered into that no more than 7,000 shares should be sold until it was demonstrated that there was a water supply for more land. Last year the stockholders voted to allow 1,000 shares more to be placed for sale. Not a share has been sold. Evidently the land owners within the present boundaries do not need any stock and the only way to dispose of it is to enlarge the district and permit those who want the stock to purchase it. Even if 10,000 acres more were taken in, but 1,000 shares more could be sold and but 1,000 acres more irrigated. The company adopted a rule a long time ago which they seem to have adhered to, viz., that any stockholder not on any of the company's ditches, but who wanted to be connected therewith, had to furnish the right of way and make his own connection; when, if made in a satisfactory manner, they were accepted and maintained by the company. There is no reason for doing differently in this case. It will not cost the company a cent for ditches or rights-of-way. It will increase the company's funds to the amount of $15,000 and furnish a market for the surplus of water. ODDS AND ENDS OF NEWS. Sugar shipments from the Chino town in July amounted to 3,115,840 pounds August 5,139,400 pounds. An inventory of the possessions of great cattle firm of Miller & Lux showed that two men owned 14,539,200 acres situated in California, Oregon and New York. Gov. Calberson of Texas has issued claimation calling a special session of Legislature to meet October 1, to pass to prevent the Corbett-Fitzaimmon fight. As the Wabash limited was leaving cage for Detroit Thursday night, a dressed man entered the Pullman, and piling at the first occupied berth, on climbed in, at the same time choking silence Mrs. George Mack, the coowner. After securing her well-filled pocket jewelry and clothes of the terrified wife whose husband sat in the smoking room only a few feet away, the robber tempted to leave. Mrs. Mack aloned to bowever, and he only escaped after killing her senseless. He jumped from moving train and apparently uninjured capsed in the darkness. Miss Virginia Fair, the California he and sister of Mrs. Herman Oelrich said to be engaged to Count Sieristarpff has been prominent in New York society the past two seasons. The Count companion an illustrious Silesian family, is a captain lancers of the reserve of the Potsdam Guinea member of the Order of Knights of Mellwell read, an export shot and popular in ciety. Last spring he was said to be gaged to marry Mrs. Samuel J. Colgate widow, whose fortune is estimated at over 900,000. The women of Birmingham, Ala., ride bicycles, but they have put away ideas of adopting bloomers, and all one count of clever a trick resorted to by who oppose the fashion. When she first struck the city, none but extreme young girls appeared on the streets in furcated garments. It was whispered ever that young women, and some no young, were hastily preparing their suits. by England, Italy and Mexico, is about to demand $500,000,000 indemnification from the United States on account of the filibustering expeditions organized by naturalized American citizens and dispatched from American ports to re-enforce the Cuban insurgents. England, Italy and Mexico, the article goes on to state, having pooled their interests in order, at an opportunity moment, to humiliate the United States and force from the Government complete renunciation of the Monroe doctrine, requested, some time ago, the concurrence of Spain in a joint naval demonstration against the leading ports of the United States. They have only been awaiting Spain's acceptance of the invitation to carry out the plan. New York, it is intimated, is the point where the allied fleet will first make its appearance, and if the demonstration fails to have the effect desired it may be followed by more positive measures. In connection with the assertion El Fanal announces that the Spanish Government will immediately increase its forces upon the island of Cuba to 180,000 men, and proceed at once to refortify Havana and other Cuban cities and ports of importance, for which purpose Krupp guns and improved torpedoes of big caliber have already been purchased in Europe. As a matter of fact, the forts about Havana have all been strengthened during the last fortnight, but it may be added that most of the new guns, instead of pointing atward to defend the port from foreign attack, are turned upon the city itself. A MODERN SHYLOCK OVER SEVENTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS INTEREST ON A LOAN OF A HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27.—In Tuesday's report of court proceedings in this city was told briefly the story of Asa Fisk securing judgment for an incredible amount of money upon a trifling sum loaned years ago. The story at first made little impression for the accounts of Fisk's financial exploits, so numerous have they become, have ceased to excite awe. But the full significance of this particular case is beginning to attract attention, and in legal circles is already the subject of much comment. It is quite a common occurrence for Fisk and other money-lenders to recover heavy judgments on very small loans, and although there is no question, from a mathematical standpoint, that the interest has increased this enormously, there are few instances wherein the judgment for the full amount can be satisfied. The circumstances of the case in Judge Slack's court are so unprecedented that lawyers throughout San Francisco are becoming much interested. In 1880 Henry Shouters, a hard working man, owned a lot 150x176 feet, north of the Golden Gate Park. In the fall of that year he had no money to pay his taxes, which were delinquent. He went to Asa Fisk and borrowed $150, for which he was to pay interest at the rate of 4 per cent a month compounded monthly, in advance. Things went hard with him, and he was unable to cancel the mortgage which he had given to Fisk. The next year he died intestate, leaving a number of pieces of unimproved property. For some inexplicable reason no one ever got out any letters of administration, and, according to the California laws, the statute of limitations of a mortgage does not expire until the estate has been administered upon. All the time, month after month and year after year, the interest on the $150 was increasing at an incredibly rapid rate. At the same time, through uncarned increment, the property of the Shouters estate was increasing in value. The city was building up, and the property, which had been in the sandbills remote from traffic, gradually became surrounded by dwellings. It may be safely stated that the Valkyrie III will not cross the ocean this year. She will, unless all signs play false, be laid up for the winter at South Brooklyn. Lord Dunraven's change of front is in reality not so sudden as seemed to those who took those who want to stock to purchase it. Even if 10,000 acres more were taken in, but 1,000 shares more could be sold and but 1,000 acres more irrigated. The company adopted a rule a long time ago which they seem to have adhered to, viz., that any stockholder not on any of the company's ditches, but who wanted to be connected therewith, had to furnish the right of way and make his own connection; when, if made in a satisfactory manner, they were accepted and maintained by the company. There is no reason for doing differently in this case. It will not cost the company a cent for ditches or rights-of-way. It will increase the company's funds to the amount of $15,000 and furnish a market for the surplus of water. Further, as the stock is now distributed, about four-sevenths is held north of the sandwash and three-sevenths south, giving the balance of power on the north side. While all the extensions proposed are south of the sandwash, and if 1,000 shares are located on the south side each side will be equally balanced politically. The enlargement will further enhance the value of the property adjacent to Anaheim. As far as I see there are no reasons for not making the extension and every reason in favor of it. Let every stockholder who wishes for progress and enterprise go to the meeting on the 19th inst., and vote for the extension. One more reason in its favor is this: Every stockholder south of the sandwash would like to see a cement ditch, connecting with the cement ditch on East street, running west and southwest through the town and beyond, that no waste may occur. But if no extension is voted there will be no need of making the contemplated improvements, as there is plenty of water to supply the present stockholders and permit the waste, while we are standing still like a lot of old fogies. Let us wake up and encourage the perfection of our water system. Let us get out of the old ruts and not always be fogges, but complete the grand water system that we have and develop our country to its fullest capacity, and woe be to him who clogs the wheels of enterprise or throws obstacles in the way of a harmonious development of our country. The men who are cavassing against the extension as far as as the writer knows have never been suspected as being either patriotic, public spirited, or enterprising, but their predominating traits are extreme selfishness. It is about time that such men were told to stand aside and let the car of progress go on. Yours truly, STOCKHOLDER WHO IS IN FAVOR OF PROGESS. THE LEMON CROP. The New York lemon market is several hundred thousand boxes short of last year's supply at this time, and prices continue to scurry skyward. The present outlook is favorable for good prices for the remainder of October, when the market will be moderately supplied by the late Sicilian crop and the importations from Malaga, the latter amounting probably to forty thousand boxes. As yet California lemons have not made their entrance into the New York market, but the Western and Northwestern markets now are partially supplied by them. Exports say that the California crop will be an important factor in the lemon trade in five years; for the yield is increasing greatly every year and will soon be sufficient to supply entirely that part of the country lying west ofthe Mississippi River. Out-of-town trade is very important and the rapid encroachment ofthe California growers onthe Western market is sure to seriously affectthe prices of imported lemons. The great obstacle to the successful entry ofthe California product intothe New York market isthe difficulty in transportation;but there will no doubt develop some means of overcoming that. It may be safely stated that the Valkyrie III will not cross the ocean this year. She will, unless all signs play false, be laid up forthe winter at South Brooklyn.

RUSH OF BROKEN-DOWN BLOODS TO EMULATE MARLBOROUGH. London, Sept. 29.—The Duke of Marlborough's engagement to Miss Vanderbilt must have filled many broken-down aristocrats in England with envy, and it will not be surprising if quite a number of them run over to try their luck in the matrimonial market. Beyond doubt, scores of fine old families are in a bad way, owing to agricultural depression, and in some instances to disastrous speculations on the stock exchange or at the racecourses. Only this week the son of the late Duke of Roxburgh has been before the Bankruptcy Court the fourth time, with assets upon this occasion of £2 sterling, which quite beets the record for noble penury. The Earl of Lancaster is selling his Welsh estates in small lots to suit farmer purchasers and is obtaining unexpectedly good prices for land, but the saddest of all cases brought this week before the unfeeling public is that of Viscount Hill, whose most cherished heirlooms have been sold at auction by order of a trustee in bankruptcy. The auction took place at Shrewsbury and attracted amateur and professional collectors and dealers from all parts of the country. Some lots fetched sensational prices. As much as $29 per ounce was paid for an old silver plate, when $3 an ounce has been the common price. So low have the fortunes of this famous family sunk that even military medals and crosses won by hard fighting in field and knightly orders bestowed by royalty for dis- It may be safely stated that the Valkyrie III will not cross the ocean this year. She will, unless all signs play false, be laid up for the winter at South Brooklyn. Lord Dunraven's change of front is in reality not so sudden as it seemed to those who took a trip down the Erie Basin the other morning, expecting to find the Valkyrie departing or departed, and found, instead, to their surprise, the crew busy unloading her stores and carrying them aboard the City of Bridgeport. Rumors that the unsuccessful cup-hunter would, in spite of all apparent preparations made for her ocean trip, stay on this side till next season have been rife since last Friday. These rumors crystallized into what was practically certain last Monday night when Captain Cranfield showed one of his most intimate friends in this country a telegram ordering him to stop work on the Valkyrie until further notice. "Further notice" came at breakfast time in the shape of another telegram ordering that the stores be at once taken out of the Valkyrie and put aboard the Bridgeport. The twenty-three remaining members of the crew sailed for home yesterday. The sailmakers left last week on the St. Louis. The work of dismantling the boat was proceeded with immediately. As yet no arrangements have been made for the yacht's winter quarters. There was much discussion as to the cause of Dunraven's latest orders. Some argued that, nettled by the comments on his withdrawal from the cup races, he is keeping her on this side to tackle the Defender again next year, others—and this contingent includes a man who has the inside track of Valkyrie matters—attributed his Lordship's action to his desire to get rid of his boat. He has already received one offer from an American. Others contend that the Valkyrie was to be kept here as a trial horse for Mr. Rose's challenger of 1896. There is one medicine which every family should be provided with. We refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm. When it is kept at hand the severe pain of a burn or scald may be promptly relieved and the sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before inflammation sets in, which insures a cure in about one-third the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should receive immediate attention, before the parts become swollen, and when Chamberlain's Pain Balm is applied it will heal them without matter being formed, and without leaving a scar. A sore throat may be cured in one night. A piece of flannel dampened with this liniment and bound on over the seat of pain, will cure lame back or pain in the side or chest in twenty-four hours. It is the most valuable, however, for rheumatism. Persons afflicted with this disease will be delighted with the prompt relief from pain which it affords, and it can be depended upon to effect a complete cure. For sale by Derge. Secretary Smith of the Department of Agriculture at Washington has rendered a decision in the case of Matthew Gage, plaintiff and appellant, against William E. Atwater Johannes Gunther and Otto H. Newman defendants and respondents, involving law at Riverside. The case was before him in motion for a re-review of the decision Secretary Noble. Gage made a desert law entry for a tract near Riverside in 1888 and attempted to reclaim it by means of artesian wells. This was found in practicable and he then had a canal built from the Santa Ana river to the claim, a distance of twelve miles. He ended up this work about $300,000, and did not complete it in the three years after laying by law, but did have the canal constructed and in such shape that all the land below its level, amounting to about 44 acres, could be flooded in twenty four hours before any contest was initiated against her entry. He thus made this land very valuable, estimated at $1000 an acre, and valuable for agricultural purposes. The fact that this had not been done within three years was taken advantage of by homestead entrymen, who began a contest, alleging that the law had not been complied with and that the land was not reclaimed within that time. The local officers rendered a decision in favor of the contestants. This decision was also formed by the Commissioner of the General Land Office and Assistant Secretary Chandler. On motion for review and an appeal to be allowed to take case to the Board of Equitable Adjudication, Secretary Noble decided against Gage. Gage filed an application for re-review with the present Secretary on which a decision has just been rendered. The opinion of Secretary Smith accuses his predecessor of too strict a construction of the law, and reverses the decision of the Commissioner, which holds Gage's entry for cancellation, and disposes of the appeal to be allowed to take case before the Board of Equitable Adjudication, in the following language: "It is accordingly directed that Gage be allowed to carry his final proof before the Board of Equitable Adjudication to be passed upon by them, and that in the meantime homestead entries stand suspended to be disposed of as shall be directed by the finding of the said Board." A terrible explosion of a harvester boiler occurred at the Hamlin ranch, nine miles west of Delano, at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon noon, in which Walter Garwood, son of P.J. Garwood of Poso, 30 years old, was instantly killed. William Miller had both legs broken and was injured internally, Lou Sagacy, a boy 13 years of age, was scalped slightly and Will Rawlee and others were also slightly injured. The crew was engaged in crushing barley and were just fairly started on the afternoon's work when the boiler exploded with terrific force. The rear end of the boiler was hurled a distance...

Inventory of the possessions of the cattle firm of Miller & Lux shows that two men owned 14,539,200 acres of land located in California, Oregon and Nevada. W. Culberson of Texas has issued a proclamation calling a special session of the mature to meet October 1, to pass a law event the Corbett-Fitzmairona prize.

When the craze struck the city, none but extremely girls appeared on the streets in big garments. It was whispered how young women, and some not so were hastily preparing their new of 300 feet, while the other end was scattered all about and far beyond where the men were at work. Garwood had just driven up and was standing near the engine when the explosion occurred. His skull was crushed in and he was tossed over a pile of sacks forty feet distant, while Rawlee, who was standing behind him, was only slightly injured. Two men standing at the sides of the boiler and others near by, though out of line directly in front or behind the boiler, escaped uninjured, while others were knocked down by pieces of belting and debris. The engine was an old one and the steam gauge was defective and had frequently failed to indicate the proper amount of steam. A moment before the explosion the attention of the engineer was called to the gauge, but before reply could be made the flying piece of boiler had left death and suffering in their path. Steam in the boiler must have been greater than the gauge showed and the pressure became too great. Miss Maude Umbarger of Municie, Ind., aged 19, heir to a fortune estimated at $240,-000, and Fred H. Gerdau, 35 years old, eloped and worked married and then left for California, where Gerdau hopes to find work. Gerdau is a poor mechanic. Miss Umbarger, who possesses remantic ideas, planned the elopement and provides for their expenses. The young lady's father was prostrated at the news of her elopement, and through a friend telegraphed her to return. She received the message, but wired back that she and her husband would go to California without delay. The old man thereupon disinherited her, making a young man, no relation to him, his heir. Mrs. Frank Selig of Chicago showed her love for her husband in a novel manner. He had been fined $5 in the police court for disorderly conduct, and had told them he could borrow that amount if allowed to go out to see his friends. The police would not allow him to go from the station without security for his return. "Here, take this as security," said Mrs. Selig, as she placed her 3 month-old baby in the court bailiff's arms. She then hurried out of the station, saying she would not call for the baby until her husband had secured the money to pay his fine. She did not return, and as she baby began to cry soon after she left it was taken to the orphaning up their respective sides, most of them being witnesses. Judge-Advocate Crowder stated that General Merritt issued the order to exclude repotters because three leading Army families are involved in it. Captain Kirkman is a brother of Vice-President Kirkman of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, and Captain Barrett, the complaining witness, is one of the best-known officers in the Army. Graham Babcock, son of the manager of the Hotel Corouado, San Diego, and Miss B. T. Meyers, daughter of the millionaire of the Star Tobacco Company of St. Louis, called on the Rev. W. Percival at Glenwood Springs, Col., with a license and the request that he marry them. They were entirely alone with only a passer-by who was called in for one witness, while Mrs. Percival acted as the other. The young couple then quietly boarded the train and left for Pueblo, en route for San Diego. Mrs. Church of St. Louis, sister of the bride, was at the Colorado Hotel, but was in ignorance of what was taking place. When the news leaked out she went into a faint. The groom arrived at the springs some six weeks ago, about the same time as Miss Meyers and her sister. He took part in the polo games and other sports and made himself a favorite. He is said to be wealthy in his own right. Miss Meyers was quite prominent in society and only returned from a trip to Trappers' Lake recently in company with Mrs. Orgood of Denver and others. The sudden marriage and the circumstances surrounding it created a sensation, it being reported that the bride was engaged to a prominent merchant of St. Louis. There has not been such a scarcity of lemons in New York within the last twenty years. The great frost in Florida last December totally destroyed the lemon industry in that section, consequently Italy and Spain are the two countries that are now supplying the fruit. The supply in the former is short this year, owing to the severe cold weather. A conservative estimate places the shortage at 4,000,000 boxes. The recent warm wave throughout the East which drove the mercury up into the nineties created an unprecedented demand for lemons, and the supply was not sufficient to go around. Western orders came, and the re- women of Birmingham, Ala., may bicycles, but they have put away all adopting bloomers, and all on account of clever trick resorted to by those who oppose the fashion.

Mrs. Frank Selig of Chicago showed her love for her husband in a novel manner. He had been fined $5 in the police court for disorderly conduct, and had told them he could borrow that amount if allowed to go out to see his friends. The police would not allow him to go from the station without security for his return. "Here, take this as security," said Mrs. Selig, as she placed her 3 month-old baby in the court bailiff's arms. She then hurried out of the station, saying she would not call for the baby until her husband had secured the money to pay his fine. She did not return, and as thy baby began to cry soon after she left it was taken to the orphan anylum. Later in the day Selig's fine was suspended, and that night he and his wife went to the anylum for their child. Six men working in a drift about ten feet above the lower level of a mine at Leadville, where fifty pounds of powder had been stored, were killed by an explosion of powder. The Superintendent had forbidden more than five pounds of powder to be taken into the mine at one time, but it is known that fifty pounds was in the drift at the time; five or ten pounds of this was in an oil can warming, with lighted snuffles under it. This was the usual method of warming powder. It exploded and the concussion set off the remaining powder. The shock caused the dirt to block the drift and the men could not get out and six of slowly smothered to death. As many volunteers as could be put to work began digging through the mass of dirt, and in an hour had broken through and discovered the bodies of the miners lying along two drifts. Spain must crush the Cuban rebellion during the next three months or submit to international interference in the interests of humanity and commerce. That is the significance of a series of conferences held between Secretary Olney and the Spanish minister, Senior Dapuy de Lone. The United States has agreed for the present to keepits hands off, but this is accompanied by a tacit warning that unless Spain carries out her promise of suppressing the insurrection and restoring order to Cuba within a reasonable time she must expect the United States government to pursue quite a different policy. In other words, Spain is to be given one more chance to demonstrate her ability to rule the island, and failing in this the United States government will take the leadership in international intervention, with the complete autonomy, and perhaps the independence, of Cuba as the objective point. The conferences were held at the request of Secretary Olney, who asked Senor Dapuy de Lone for a full statement of the condition of affairs in Cuba, the intentions of the Spanish citizenry and their property, and the prospects of suppressing the insurrection. A thrilling story of an encounter with a bear, in which a boy lost his life, comes from Gorman's station, sixty miles southwest of Bakerfield, in the mountains on the border of the Mojave desert. Two boys, whose names are not given, left Gorman's station one morning last week for a day's hunting. While traveling along the foothills in their search for game they came suddenly upon a large grizzly bear. Acting upon the impulse of the moment both raised their guns and fired. The shot were well aimed, but were only effective in infuriating the bear, which immediately started in pursuit of the boys. Becoming dismayed at the ineffectiveness of their weapons, the nerve of the young hunters deserted them, and they started off on a run, closely followed by the bear. One lad, dropping his gun, succeeded in reaching and climbing a tree, where, safe from attack, he was compelled to witness the awful sight of his comrade's death. His companion was less fortunate in evading the purser, being so closely pressed that he was finally compelled to dodge around a convenient rock, followed by the bear. Twice he circled the bowler in a vain endeavor to save himself, but his powers of endurance were not equal to those of his puruer. At length, when he could go no farther, a stroke of the grizzly's paw There has not been such a scarcity of lemons in New York within the last twenty years. The great frost in Florida last December totally destroyed the lemon industry in that section, consequently Italy and Spain are the two countries that are now supplying the fruit. The supply in the former is short this year, owing to the severe cold weather. A conservative estimate places the shortage at 4,000,000 boxes.

Atwater, Gunther and Otto H. Newman, and respondents, involving land trade. The case was before him on or a re-review of the decision of Noble.

The explosion of a harvester boiler at the Hamlin ranch, nine miles away, at 3 o'clock Saturday after which Walter Garwood, son of P. of Poso, 30 years old, was injured. William Miller had both legs and was injured internally. Lou Boy 13 years of age, was scalded and Will Rawlee and others were badly injured. The crew was encrusting barley and were just dead on the afternoon's work when exploded with terrific force. The boiler was hurled a distance of the moment both raised their guns and fired. The shots were well aimed, but were only effective in infuriating the bear, which immediately started in pursuit of the boys. Becoming dismayed at the ineffectiveness of their weapons, the nerve of the young hunters deserted them, and they started off on a run, closely followed by the bear. One lad, dropping his gun, succeeded in reaching and climbing a tree, where, safe from attack, he was compelled to witness the awful sight of his comrade's death. His companion was less fortunate in evading the pursuer, being so closely pressed that he was finally compelled to dodge around a convenient rock, followed by the bear. Twice he circled the bowler in a vain endeavor to save himself, but his powers of endurance were not equal to those of his pursuer. At length, when he could go no farther, a stroke of the grizzly's paw stretched him upon the ground. Springing upon him the bear rapidly tore him to pieces, his terrified companion in the tree gazing in horror upon the awful spectacle, but unable to render any assistance. Miss Eugenie Bethancourt and Louis Gervais were married in New Orleans. Gervais had courted her for several years, and had built a house in which to take his bride, but at the last moment she broke off the engagement. Just a month ago he visited her house to demand a final answer in his suit She again refused him and said she never wished to see him again. He left the house furious over the rejection and returned a few minutes afterward armed with a revolver. There was some lively shooting in the next few minutes. Miss Bethancourt received two wounds, one in each cheek, the other in the shoulder, both serious Her father, who arose from his sick bed to come to her assistance, was shot in the eye, and has been confined to the Charity Hospital ever since. Gervais shot at the mother, but missed her, and clubbed a young sister over the head with the stock of his pistol, falling her to the ground and seriously injuring her. He then ran to the river and threw himself in with the intention of committing suicide. He was rescued and arrested. It was thought at first that at least one of his victims would die. When it was guaranteed by the doctor that the girl was out of danger he was released on bond, and at the first opportunity offered he ran off with her and married her. The father still insists on prosecution, and says that if he can send Gervais to the penitentiary he is satisfied his daughter will return to him. The trial of Captain Joel T. Kirkman, Tenth Infantry, that is in progress at Fort Leavenworth, is the only thing talked of in Army circles, and has brought out much of a sensational nature, and extra efforts have been made to keep the proceedings quiet. It developed that Captain Kirkman is charged with having entered the room of Mrs. Littell, wife of the Adjutant of the Tenth Infantry, stationed at Fort Reno. Mrs. Littell is the eldest daughter of Capt. Barrett, Tenth Infantry, and is the mother of children. When Kirkman entered her room she called her father and he forbibly ejected him from the room. A fierce fight is said to have taken place, in which Barrett was victor. Directly afterward Captain Barrett had Kirkman arrested for burglary and action against him on this charge is now pending in the United States Court. Kirkman's defense is that he entered Mrs. Littell's room by mistake. The wives and relatives of the officers interested are back- A sharp diplomatic correspondence is passing between two distinguished members of the diplomatic corps of Washington, Senor Dupuy de Lome of Spain and Senor Lazo-Arriaga of Guatemala. The latter has called on the Spanish Minister for a public disavowal of certain reflections on Guatemala. The two diplomats met at the State Department, whereupon Senor Arriaga personally reiterated what he had already requested in writing in the form of a public retraction. The affair is the result of several interviews and statements in which Senor de Lome has appeared late concerning the Cuban insurrection. In these statements he arraigned the press for partiality toward the insurgents, and, in speaking of the latter, said that if the Cubans gained independence they sought they would reduce Cuba to an inferior place among the nations of the world, analogous, he said, to the low position of Hayti, San Domingo or Guatemala. This statement reached Senor Lazo-Arriaga in due time through the medium of a "clipping bureau." He resented Guatemala's being held up as a national inferiority. He thereupon addressed a letter to Senor de Lome, which although couched in the smooth phrases of diplomacy, left no doubt of Senor Arriaga's indignation. The letter is understood to have pointed out, among other things, the following: That Guatemala did not have at present an insurrection of her people on her hands; that Guatemala has made more material progress during the last seventy-five years than Spain; that it was permissible for Senor de Lome to make such reflections as he chose on Spain or Cuba; but that his position as a diplomat made incompatible that he should publicly insult other countries. What reply, if any, Senor de Lome made is not known, but the two ministers happened to come together while seeking Secretary Olney at the department. The ministers showed all due deference to each other, but Senor Arriaga did not hesitate to express his disapproval. It is understood that Senor de Lome gave assurances that the correction or retraction would be made public through the press.
