DAVIS ESTATE CLAIMANTS,
Four More of Them After the
Dead Capitalists
Wealth.
One Of Them a Resident Of Sonoma
Who Claims to Be His
Widow.

BUTTE, Mont, June 24-Thomas JEFF
ferson Davis, the illegitimate son of the
late Judge A. J. Davis arrived in the city
yesterday from Selma, Ala, and announces
that the Davis will case has not vet been
settled notwithstanding the settlement of
the Root, Cummings and Sheffield con-
tests few months ago. This son was not
a party to the settlement and received no
share from it, and it is stated that new
contest will be started unless he receives
some share of the millions.
Another heir who was left out when the
estate was settled is Erwin Davis of New
York, brother of Judge Davis, and he
has, so Thomas Jefferson Davis saws,
pooled issues with Mrs. Smell of Sonoma,
Cal, the alleged widow of Judge Davis,
and they will institute contest of their
own.
Mrs. Smell claims that she was at one
time the wife of the late Mr.. Davis, but
that he deserted her and came to Montana.
She married again and went to California
and is now widow. It is claimed that,
with the assistance of Erwin Davis, she
will be able to establish her claim to the
estate.
The latest claimant is q colored woman
from Virginia, who got the idea some
where that Judge Davis was colored
man, and she claims him as her long-lost
brother, and has placed her case in the
hands of New York lawyer, who is said
to be on his way to Butte.

INDIANS ON n RAID.

Fears of GensraI Outbreak Along the
North Canadian River.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June pa special
from Hennessy, Oklahoma, says that a
report reached there yesterday of raid
on Martins ranch, sixty-6ve miles west OF
Dover, by band of twenty armed Chey-
enne Indians. Since the shooting of a
member of that tribe last Wednesday
trouble has been expected, and the cattle
men are prepared.
The only damage done yesterday was
the burning of few outbuildings and the
stampeding of a small bunch of Martin s
cattle. Settlers along the North Canadian
River are becoming alarmed, and some are
leaving their cabins, fearing general out
break.
Fort Cantonet, the nearest military post
has only a squad of ten soldiers, and in
the event OF general outbreak they wonld
be unable to cope with the Indians 1t is
understood that the commanding officer at
Cantonet has cabled for help. There are
300 Indians on the reservation.

HIS HAIR WAS UNCOMBED
The Reason Why a New York
WidoWer Lost His Prom
iSed Bride.
He Met Her at the Station. and as Be
Appeared Untidy She Left
Him.

PORT JERVIS, N. Y, June 24.-Mrs.
Mary Striel of New York is a handsome
widow of 40, whose husband died several
years ago. Mrs. Striel has a comfortab BILE
fortune, which makes it possible for her to
live IN manner becoming her years and
position in life. She spent last summer at
Fosterdale, few miles from Calico. Sulli-
van County. One day she met John
Fuhrer, widower of 80, with whom, it is
alleged, she fell in love at first sight.
John, it is said, was ready to be taken in
to her good graces and, perhaps, good for
tune, for he had worked hard all his life
and thought he should enjoy his declining
years. He naturally became enraptured
with the woman who loved him at first
sight, for no other reason than she loved
him, and there was no reason that this
couple, so well met, should not get married.
Their courtship reached this point and
Saturday, June %, was set as the date.
Mrs. Striel returned to New York and
John Fuhrer remained at his home 1t is
said he received encouraging letters after
the departure of his fianeee, and he nodded
his head with satisfaction as he counted
the days and hours before his wedding
day should come.
Saturday arrived and with all gladness
and happiness John was busy preparing
the fatted calf and making other necessary
preparations at his home until almost train
time. He had really forgotten himself
and hurriedly went to the station to meet
his promised bride. He was rough ap-
pearing and was not yet shorn for the oc-
casion, but he had glad heart Just the
same, and had real welcome for his ex-
pected bride. Mrs. Striel arrived as ex-
pected and was handsomely but not gor-
geously attired. She had with her an ele-
CANT trousseau. She alighted from the
train and was the object of admiration of
the people who had assembled in vast
numbers.
Her aged lover attempted to greet her,
but when she saw him his bright hopes
were turned to cruel disappointment. She
frowned upon him with scorn, and, call
ing attention to his unkempt head, said {:
IF you don't care any more about me
than that don't like you. Go away from
me. 1 want nothing to do with you"
Walking away, she ordered her baggage to
be returned and she departed on the next
train, leaving her aged lover despairing
and disconsolate. The scene was very
touching one. John Fuhrer returned to
his home and has not been seen outside its
portals since.

cation of the Sun of February %, containing
the alleged hbelous matter. was done in
New York. Upon this ground it is
contended by his counsel that he cannot be
removed to Washington for trial under the
provisions of the United States constitution,
which require the trial OF offenders to
be had in the State and district where
the offense shall have been committed.
The law of libel, however, authorizes
An indictment where the Hbelous mat
ter has been circulated through the
defendants instrumentahty or procurement
and the common law authorities justify the
contention of the prosecution, that if the ac-
cused within one jurisdiction had set agencies
in motion for the purpose of procur-
ing circulation of the libelous mat
ter in another jurisdiction, the offense is
committed by him in the latter jurisdiction,
though he was not physically present.
Whether the requirement of the constitution
that the trial shall be had where the offense is
committed is to be construed accord
ing to the technical common law rule
existing at the time the constitution
was adopted, or in the more popular sense
of the word committed" and with reference
only to the place where the defendants own
acts were done, is mooted question which
do not find it necessary to decide.
The commitment was made and removal
is asked upon no evidence of criminality
or OF probable cause, except q copy of
the Indictment found in the District of
Columbia. AS applications for removal
upon indictments found in other districts are
becoming frequent, correct practice in regard to
them is SO important that am constrained to
give it careful consideration. If the practice
pursued in this case is not warranted by law,
no previous acquiescence in it can justify its
continuance, when properly challenged,
especially in a matter affecting personal lib
erty.
Two points are involved, viz: Whether
the indictment is admissible at all as a
foundation for commitment under Sec
ton 1014 of the Revised Statutes, and
If admissible, its effect and conclusiveness
on the question of possible cause. There is no
statute in the United States directly affecting
this question.
After Conservative citation of authori-
ties and precedents upon these points,
Judge Brown says:
There is no provision as to the reception or
effect of an indictment found in another State
or district as evidence before a COM
mitting magistrate, though in Califor-
mia State statute is said to make
such an Indictment legal evidence. 1t would,
in many cases, defeat the ends of justice, and
the guilty would often escape before the ne
cessary proof could be secured, if in issuing an
order of arrest nothing but strictly legal evil
dence could be considered by the magistrate.
But complaints on Information and belief are
to be closely scrutinized.

CHECK ON FILIBUSTERS.
Officials Are Determined That
Spain Cannot Charge
Negligence.
MORE SHIPS FOR THE GULF.
The Raleigh Leaves Key West Sud-
denly for. a Cruise Out
to Sea.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. June 24.-The
cruiser Atlanta is under orders to leave
New York harbor tomorrow to enforce the
neutrality laws in Cuban waters. She will
flrst stop at Port-au- Prince, Hayti, and
when she leaves there her movements are
apt to be somewhat perplexing to filibus-
tering expeditions menacing the south
coast of Cuba. After cruising as long as
her coal lasts the Atlanta will go into
Santiago de Cuba and lie there until her
bunkers are replenished. being held in
readiness to go out and give chase to any
expedition that may be reported.
This new duty of the Atlanta, together
with that of the Raleigh, along the Gulf
coast of the United States indicates the
determination of the administration to
give Spain no opportunity of accusing this
Government of negligence. While it is
believed in official circles that the reports
alleging violations of neutrality have been
to some extent exaggerated, other Ameri-
can warships will be sent to the Gulf of
Mexico if it should be demonstrated that
the Atlanta and Raleigh are unequal to
the task assigned to them.
The cruiser Montgomery, which recently
went to Colon, and after spending a week
there has now returned to Greytown, had
orders to stop and look out for sympa-
thetic icmovements from Central America
in which Americans might be involved.
Several expeditions from Costa Rica and
other Central American ports are known
to have left for Cuba, and at least one of
them has landed on the island. AS far as
known the United States was not con-
cerned in them, but the Montgomery will
continue vigilant until she returns to Mo.
bile early in July.
The Raleigh sailed from Key West at II
o'clock to-day for cruise at sea between
Cuba and the Gulf States. 1t is not known
whether her commander has instructions
to look out for any filibustering expeditions.
but there is no doubt she will endeayor to
intercept any unlawful vessels. While the
Raleigh lies in port her movements are
known, but the purpose of her trip is evil
IDENTIFY to keep her whereabouts unknown.
She is liable to drop into any small port or
inlet along the coast and thus prevent the
assembling or sailing of filibusterers bound
for Cuba.

adopt the words of his predecessor he
would say that for every man who had
taken part in the noble conflicts of parlia-
mentary life, the chiefest of all his ambi-
tions had been to stand well with the
House.
Mr. Balfour said that everybody in the
House had heard with sympathy and emo
tion the touching words with which Sir
William Harcourt had concluded. All
must feel in retrospect of the labors of
the Chancellor OF the Exchequer that the
work he had done in the House had not
been in vain. Mr.. Balfour then ap-
pealed to the members of the opposition
for an expression of their sympathy with
what he had said. Whatever they might
think of the policy which had been pur-
sued by the Government, all of their politi-
cal opponents recognized the Chancellor of
the Exchequer as one of the greatest orna-
ments of the House, and one who ever kept
the dignity of the assembly in view.
While he (Mr. Balfour) recognized the
fact that the mem bers of the Government
were the best judges of the question
whether to continue to be responsible for
the conduct of political affairs, he thought
himself that the proper constitutional
course to have adopted would have been
to dissolve Parliament.
For government in the position of the
present one to resign was practically
equivalent to the determination on their
part to put the burden of Office upon the
opposition. 1t was not in accordance with
the best traditions of the House.
iAtthe conclusion of Mr.. Balfour's remarks.
the Bering Sea bill passed its third read
ing, DR.. Tanner, member for Midi Cork,
alone obiecting on the ground that he
would object to any bill being passed by
the House while the Irish land bill was
dormant. The House adjourned until to-
morrow.

statement, saying that as the adverse vote
on Friday was in effect vote of want of
confidence in the Secretary of State for
War, with whom the Government had
associated themselves, they had therefore
placed their designations in the hands of
the Queen, who had accepted them.
Mr.. Balfour expressed regret that the
Government had not dissolved Parliament
instead of resigning.
Referring to Mr.. Campbell -Bannerman
Sir William said he would take it upon
himself to say no abler, more respected or
popular Minister [cheers from both sidesl
had ever filed the Office. The course of
the opposition, he declared, had disabled
the War Minister from proceeding
with the army estimates and had
made it impossible for the Govern
ment to obtain votes of supply
absolutely necessary to the service of the
country. The Government, he said would
hold office only until their successor fad
been appointed, and he therefore would
move that the House adjourn. but it was
indispensableSbefor this was done that
the Bering Sea bill be passed in order
that it might receive the royal assent.
In quitting office, Sir William said, he
relinquished post which he had always
regarded as great responsibility as carry
ing with it higher obligations than any
other position under the Crown. and he
had always desired, unequal to the task as
he felt himself to be [Cries of mo, nop'l

assembly in the performance of the duties
of that arduous Office.
Under circumstances of no ordinary diff
ficulty he had had great assistance, and he

full thanks for their constant and
unfailing support. He also desired to ac-
knowledge the courtesy which had invari-
ably been shown to him by his
political opponents, and if it was not re-
garded as too presumptuous in him to

trict of Columbia on March last. This
application is denied and the defendant is
discharged.
On March 8 Mr.. Dana was held by Com
missioner Shields in this city upon the
indictment mentioned. William f. Laffan,
manager of the Sun, was included in the
indictment, but was at the time
absent from the country. Application was
made for the removal of Mr.. Dana to
Washington to be tried, the allegation
being that Noyes had been libeled in
Washington.
The indictment contained three counts
first, that the Sun Printing and Publish
ing Association was New York corpora
ton engaged in the publishing of
the Sun; that Mr.. Dana was
the responsible editor of the paper, that
Mr.. Laffan was the manager thereof, and
that in their respective cities the
one had composed and procured for
publication editorial articles in the
paper and the other had published and
sold the issues Of the paper in various
places, among them the city of Wash
ington, containing the Lbelous mat
ter complained of. The article was
entitled 1.-THE Work of Rascals. /"
The other two counts are of the same pur-
port substantially, except that they make
no reference to the publication of the
paper in New York, nor to any acts of the
defendants in New York, but aver that the
defendants did, sat the District of Column
bia, write and publish and cause and pro-
cure to be written" etc.
The question of Mr.. Dana's removal to
Washington was elaborately argued before
the District Court with the denial of the
application as a result. In his decision.
which is very long, Judge Brown says:
The Indictment charges that the alleged libel
was published both in New York and Wash
ington. But the facts stated that the
Indictment and light evidence taken be-
fore the Commissioner are sufficient to show
whatever MI. Dana had to do With the publ.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 4.-The Cuban
revolutionists, it is said, are about to send
a number of big expeditions to the island.
These will be under the command of Colo
mel Callazo, and will start from a small
island in the West Indies which is owned
by an Englishman. The latter is in sym
pathy with the Cuban's cause. The land
ing will be made in Vuelta. All the arms
and ammunition have already been sent to
the island.
With Callazo go $50 of the last revoIu
tionists as well as several West Point
graduates. Six Gatling guns, six Hotch-
KISS one-pounder rapid-fre guns, 1900
Winchester rifles and 10000 rounds of
ammunition for the rifles and a large
quantity of ammunition for the guns were
to be carried by the expedition. Three
unsuccessful attempts were made to pro-
cure a steamer in Florida and one was
finally secured from one of the West India
Islands
NEW YORK, N. Y, June 24.-Revolu-
tionists in this city are elated over the
news that Cienfuegos has taken up arms.
Cienfuegos is Spanish stronghold There
are five Spaniards to one Cuban. The
Spanlards are the owners of all large plan
tations in that vicinity, and were giving
aid to Campos. The insurgents decided to
cripple them by blowing up their sugar
crushing machinery, which is very costly.
with dynamite, and this they did. The
destruction by means of dynamite of the
two small forts in Santiago de Cuba, as
well as the railroads in that province, is
contemplated by the insurgents. In Cuban
cities to-day the report that Bermudez,
with his band, had surrendered was de-
MED. De Gomez y Castro said: Gas mat
ter of fact it was he who acted as leader in
the uprising of Cienfuegos. A band of
seven men in Camajuani, near Holguin,
surrendered, but not in Camajuani in Las
Villas"
