went to Durango. Colo, for his health.
He bought a pony and spent most Of his
time riding about the country. While
on one of his journeys he stopped at
Pennington. N. NJ. . town 80 miles
south of Durango and located near the
Navajo reservation, q tract Of land 1875
miles long and 80 miles wide. Beoom-
ing interested in the red men, he pene-
trated to the very heart Of their country
despite the fact that at that time they
were none too friendly toward white
men. He soon acquired Q knowledge Of
the Navajo language, and the thrift and
industry Of the Indians led him to think
very seriously Of remaining with them.
He had many exciting experiences and
narrowly escaped being killed on a
number of occasions, but the majority
of the Indians became very fond Of him,
and his popularity has steadily in
creased.
One secret Of his great success was
the fact that he had considerable knowl.
edge Of medicine and treated the sick
Indians. He established q drug store
and soon became known to the Indians
as the Big Medicine Man. The white
settlers, however, call him Navajo Bill.
During his residence with the Navajoes
he has completely recovered his health
and is so delighted with life on the res
ervation that he has 10 idea Of ever
leaving it. He takes part in all the
ceremonies of the tribe, is always con-
suited when any brave squaw or pa
poose is sick and is by far the most in
f1uential man among the Navajoes. Some
pessimists maintain that the only good
Indian is a dead one, but the Navajoes
are hardly within this category. They
are hard workers and have maintained
themselves without assistance from the
government, it is said, for over 30
years. With a white chief to direct
their affairs and counsel with them
they will doubtless make quicker strides
toward civilization.

BEFoRE THE SURROGATE.
Complicated Litigation Among the
Family of Mora.

~ -fA1A1f
New York. Aug. 23-It is likely that the
proceedings. which were recently taken
here in the surrogate's court for the
granting OF letters Of administration upon
the estate Of Jose Maria Mora, who died
In Rio Janero, Brazil. In November 1892,
will have to be discontinued and pro-
ceedings Of a different nature taken for
the purpose Of prosecuting the claim to a
portion Of the award not long since made
by the Spanish government of Sl500000 for
the seizure and embargo of property In
Cuba during the revolution OF l86s-iS7s
The heirs of Jose Maria Mora claim that
they are entitled to one-half OF the award.
as their father was a partner with An
tonic Maxine IN the sugar plantation and
other property which was seized BY the
Spanish authorities Under the appliea-
tion for the issuance OF letters of admin
stration, under which citations have been
issued, the petitioner, Jose Manuel Mora,
a son Of Jose Maria Mora, stated that
his father had left no will. 1t now ap-
pears that he executed a will on July 10,
1865. This fact is brought out by afida-
Wit made by Jose Ignacio Rodroquez OF
Washington, which was filed to-day IN the
surrogate's court. The affidavit Of Rod
eriquez is based upon a letter which he
recently received from Joaquin Tancis, q
notary Of Havana. This notary in his let
ter says that Don Jose Maria Mora on
July 10, 1865. executed before Notary Au-
gustin Valerie a closed last will and tes-
lament. IN duplicate One copy he took
away by himself, and the other was left
In the custody OF the notary, In charge Of
the general archives Of the protocol in
Havana. This has never been opened.
In view Of the fact that the execution Of
the Will has been discovered, in all prob
ability proceedings will have to be taken
to discover the viii and have 1t probated
1t is then likely that copies of the will
will be sent here and the paper probated
in this city and ancilliary letters testa-
mentary issued upon the will to the son,

er half Of the Spanish government award

Ex-Minister Wodehouse Doesn't Like

New York, Aug 2S.-Maj. Wodehouse,

was seen tonight by a reporter and spoke
freely Of the situation in Hawaii. He
declined. however, to predict the future
of the country or Of ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani. and carefully avoided answering any
questions touching on the way he had
been treated since the monarchy was

The present situation Of the country is
very discouraging. There are claims to
the amount OF between 100000 and $500. =
900 on behalf of British subjects against
the government for illegal arrest, irnpris-
onment and deportation. There are also
claims for about $3.50 900 on the part of the
United States government for Illegal ar
rests, imprfsonments and deportation Of
American subjects. and in one case com
pensation has already been asked for.
THE financial condition of the country
is very bad. and the government is getting
deeper into debt every day. If all the
claims are allowed there win be no money
to meet them and there is no saying what
may transpire. The native Hawaiians
and the English residents want a mon
archy, but the government and It's SUP
porters want annexation to America" ,"

give any estimate Of the numerical
strength of the two parties, but added
that the government had control OF every

nah, Nlessrs. Leanicheck & Thwaits OF

was placed in his hands by the county
attorney he would certainly serve it, and
he adds that in case no writ is issued and
the responsibility is thrown entirely on
him, he will unhesitatingly discharge his
duty. He in turn asked the governor if
under the law he would be justified in US
ing force. even to shooting down citizens
or if such a course would be advised by
him.
In reply the governor says that at the
proper time what force may be necessary
to successfully quell the fight will be
easily secured. He further advised the
sheriff TO notify the fighting management
at once that they intend to suppress the
fight at all hazards, so that the manage
