xood grour5, however, for believing
Mat he ship sailing from Savannah
with Cuban arms aboard will furnish an
actual case Of detention if she is over
hauled. Careful investigation is pro-
ceeding as to the cargo shipped by the
Alliance at Colon, allegations that arms
were taken aboard under cover OF dark
ness having been made. Communica-
tions have been received in Washington
from Cuba that the Conde de Venadito
was the Spanish warship firing on the
Alliance. These advices said that the
latter ship was flying a British flag.
There is further news as to the report
by Secretary Gresham of reply from
Spain to his demand, but there is reason
to believe the published reports have
failed to state some important reserva-
tions by Spain. One part of SPANS
answer may consist in calling attention
to charge that in November last a
number of Spanish Cubans were fishing
in the Gulf of Mexico, when they were
fired upon by United States revenue
cutter, first with cannon and later with
small arms. The firing, it is said, oc-
Cured twelve miles from land. The
Spaniards were carried to New Orleans,
where, it is said the United States court
for the Southern district of Louisiana
released them. Spain has not thus far
made protest, but may do so, now that
the United States has protested against
the firing on the, Alliance.
As far as can be learned the state de-
partment has not yet heard from either
United States Minister Taylor or from
Consul General Williams at Havana
upon the question of the identity of the
cruiser which fired upon the Alliance.
As the commander OF the Condo de Ven
adto reported the steamer upon which
he fired was flying the British flag, there
is possibility that his story refers to
another incident, which may result in
bringing Great Britain to the defense of
her ensign, for the Spanish cruiser, ac-
cording to the position taken by Secre-
tary Gresham, was bound to accept the
colors displayed in answer to the signals
establishing the nationality of the ves-
sells. 1t begins to appear that our gov
eminent is not disposed to be unduly
exacting in the matter of speedy re-
spouse from the Spanish government,
inasmuch as the entire Spanish cabinet
has resigned.

THE KEEPER OF THE WILL.

SAN Francisco, March 2O.-It now
turns out that the new will was left in
charge OF Mrs. Nettie L. Craven, a prin-
cipal in the public schools, and who was
great friend of Senator Fair. The will
was written in the house of Mrs. Has
klnss, with whom Mrs. Craven lived. and
In the presence of both witnesses. II
came about in this way: Senator Fair
had gone to visit Mrs. Craven, and Their
conversation turned to wills, and Fair
SAID that his lawyers did not seem to
get MS Will just as he would like il and
made several other remarks, which led
Mrs. Craven to propose that he make

as witness, and that he make a nro .
vision in the will for a fund for the snU-
port OF school teachers who had tanobt
tor twenty-five years or more. TO all n
thls the senator agreed, and then sol
down and wrote the paper which was

Z we do not like to offend another nation
also, that the responsibility for the delay
h In the survey of the boundary line rests
upon Guatemala, because the Guate-
malan boundary commission OF engi-
neers has wol ked always ahead of the
+ Mexican commission during the last
eight years. 1t is not true that the
Guatemalan government has received a
large revenue Tor concessions to cut tim
Der; this concession was almost invaria-
bly, made in favor of Mexican citizens,
and the revenue received from this
source is almost insignificant. As far as
j am concerned do not see any reason
why peaceful settlement OF the pend
ing difficulties might not be soon
4 reached
Senior Romero, Mexican minister, to-
day said regarding the Guatemalan-
Mexican dispute:
Mexico and Guatemala agree that
the boundary treaty OF 1882 is binding
on both countries, and there is, there
fore, no need OF any new convention, as
has been suggested. In fact, Guatemala
has not even animated the convenience
OF such step. There is no difference
oil opinion between the two govern
ments about the construction of the
boun airy treaty, insofar as the bound
airy line is concerned, and therefore no
need of an arbitration for that purpose.
The pending question between Mexico
and Guatemala is a plain one. Each
country claims that under the de facto
line existing before the treaty of 1882
she was in possession of the disputed
territory, and both agree that it belongs
to Mexico under the line marked under
the treaty. As treaty line is para
mount Mexico considers the action of
Guatemala in sending an armed force to
destroy the log camps established there
by Mexicans, who were cutting wood
u--er grants from the Mexican govern
ment, seize the logs and arrest the men,
as an unwarranted invasion of her ter
ritory, and has asked Guatemala to
apologize for it and to pay an indemnity
to the victims of the outrage. If Guate-
mala wishes to settle the question, it ID
for her to make amends for her conduct.
Mexico will not ask unreasonable in
demnity."
Senior Romero said he was sure that
his government would not be willing to
submit to arbitration to be paid for
damages; that he could not see how
Mexico could recede from her demands
for an apology. As for the actions of
the Mexican congress on the question,
he said 1t would not become him to an
ticipate it, and he thought that neither
his country nor his government desires
a war as they are fully conscious of its
dangers, drawbacks and disadvantages,
and therefore he hoped that the negoti-
ations, which are now being conducted
in the City of Mexico, would end in a
friendly settlement Of the difficulties,
and that he had heard nothing recently
to induce him to believe there was any
greater danger Of rupture than there
had been.

Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1895-05-31

with pride to the period of our Civil War,
and on each anniversary of freedom In the
dim and distant future the story OF the
gallant deeds of the Grand Army OF the
Republic, as CLEANED from the pages OF
truthful history, will awaken and rehindle
the fires of patriotism In every heart, an
thems of praise will reach the sky, .enthu-
siasm will burst into song, and on free
dom's last day, the last OF Republics with
her glorious mission ended, will expire
worthy of the brave men. who fought TO
save the Union.
Keep the Grand Army Ever In Memory.
Keep, then, nv young friends, burning
brightly in your hearts forever, the camp
fires and hallowed memories OF the Grand
Army OF the Republic, and never forget
that 1t was through their Efforts. through
their patriotism, through their uDselfish
devotion, a. and through their deeds OF valor,
that reunited people are tonight going
forward In their grand, triumphal march
of freedom, peace and prosperity. Let Us
never cease to revere and protect these
now decimated ranks of honored and aged
veterans of the Rebellion, until we our
selves shall one by one drop out OF the
rank and die of earth, % meet In the great
beyond, and join the ranks OF the Grand
Army in heaven, whore there Is no cain
or sorrow, and where, fguratively speak.
ing, we may happily fight our battles OF
life over again In the blissful, peaceful
bivouac OF the dead.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted deedl
Dear 10 the blood yoa gave.
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The herbage of your gravsi
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
Short speeches were made by Col. p. e.
Hayes, Alderman Thomas O'Brien, ex-
Alderman William f. Meagher and Law
renee 8. Hogan, and songs were sung by
Messrs. Robert j. Casey, John F. OCon-
nor, Joseph J. Mcguire, Thomas +. Cor
coran, Clarence Buckley and several others.
The evening was very enjoyable one
and was brought to fitting close by the
singing Of the hymn "America" by all
present.
Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1895-05-31

pirate address upon opening the exercises
and introduced to the gathering the newly
elected president, Maurice O'Connor. The
latter made neat speech upon assuming
the chair and pointed out what could be
done by united action and enthusiastic
work. The several other officers were
then duly installed by President O'Con.
nor and each one had few words OF
thanks or encouragement to give.
A short recess was then taken for
lunch which was quite palatable one,
served by Norton Bros, the caterers.
Upon resuming. Rev. Thomas j. Gillian,
In his own name and in behalf of Rev. W..
Halligap, who was unable to be present
In person, congratulated the organiza.
tion on its progress and wished 1t all
prosperity In future. he then spoke on
American citizenship and gave short
sketch OF travel abroad, winding up with
his trip TO kiss the Blsrney stone.
Just as he finished, Rev. p. f. McKenna,
accompanied by Father O'Kane, 8. j., one
of the Mission Fathers, entered the hall
and received quite an ovation. They
both spoke words of advice, encourage.
ment and cheer.
Mr.. Osfield's Address.
At this point Joseph Osfield, Jr., Esq.
delivered a well prepared address or
"Some Thoughts Memorial Day Brings
Forth" The speaker took his place on
the platform at the presiding officers
desk which was draped with the Ameri'
can nag. He was greeted from time tC
time by applause as the telling points o.
his adorees were noted by his critical an.
dience. He spoke as follows:
From the earliest history of the world II
has been the custom of nations to honor
their illustrious dead. The Grecian war
rior was taught to regard the service OF hil
