ANOTHER EAlR WILL.
The Children of the Dead Bonanza King
United in Pressing 1t.

United in Pressing 1t.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 19.-The legal
squabble over the $40, 100000 left by the late
bonanza king, James G. Fair, developed a
fresh sensation yesterday What is pur-
ported to be a later will than the one pre-
viously offered for probate was introduced
in the case. The will first produced, it
will be remembered, was stolen from the
county clerks office, and in order that the
document might be probated Judge Slack
had finally ruled that certified copy of
the will might be substituted Upon the
alleged will introduced yesterday a bitter
contest will hinge.
This new document purports to be holo-
graphic. 1t is written in lead pencil, on
two sheets of legal cap paper. 1t was
brought into court securely framed be-
tween two plates of glass, and was pre-
sented by Reuben Lloyd, attorney for Vir-
ginia Fair and Mrs Herman Oelrichs, of
New York, daughters of the deceased. The
attorney for Charles Fair, their brother,
came into court with Mr.. Lloyd and ap-
parently approved the proceeding There
is no longer any doubt that the three chill
dren have combined to fight for the pro
bate of this latest alleged will. Under its
pLON lolOllS bllC ciob t5bdJt NuulNl Db UlNlutu
almost equally between the two daughters
and Charley, and the distribution would
be made at once.
Under the will previously offered for
probate the children would get only the
income from the estate during their term
of life, and upon the death of all of them
the estate would be divided into three
equal parts, one part going TO the children
of Mrs. Oelrichs, one part to the children
of Virginia Fair, unless she died without
issue, when this share would revert to the
children of Mrs. Oelrichs, and the remain
ing one-third to the families of several
brothers and sisters of the deceased.
Charley Fairs recent marriage caused an
estrangement between himself and his
father and he was cut off with a life in
terest of the estate. His widow would re-
ceive nothing.
In other respects the will first produced
and che will now produced are very simi-
lar In the second will, however Charles
Fair receives a special bequest of S5OO,O ,OOC

KILRAlN VERSUS o'DONNELL.

The Fight Declared Draw, Though Jake
Had the Best of 1t.
BOSTON, March 19.-In the presence OF
1,S0O people, ut the Suffolk Athletic club
last night, Jake Kilrain, of Baltimore, and
Steve O'Donnell, of Australia, Corbett's
sparring partner, fought eight rounds, and
at the close Referee Patsy Shepard amid
shouts of "Kilrain, Kilrain," declared the
contest draw. While the referee was
making up his mind John L. Sullivan, who
sat just outside the ropes close by Kilrain' s
corner, mounted chair and waving his
tile demanded a decision. He shouted;
Whats the decision, Patsy?" and when
draw was announced he sprang into the
arena and rushed towards o Dounells cor
ner Two of the seconds grabbed him by
the arms and turned him aside. Then he
clasped hands with Kilrain in apparent
congratulation, and swinging his arms
showed the latter how the fight might
have been won. He was ready, he de-
clared to challenge the winner If the ref
cree had only named one. The ex-cham-
pion was finally led off by his friends, and
the scene, which had caused the widest
excitement, ended.
1t took Referee Shepard five minutes to
make up his mind what decision to make.

Kilrain and in the second pushed him to

force, while Kilrain did very effective
work with his. O'Donnell has gained
nothing in reputation by his work last
night, while the stock of Kilrain is rated
high in Boston.
Kilrain was fat and clumsy, and weighed
in at 220 pounds. 1t was apparent that he
had little training while O'Donnell was
in excellent trim and tipped 173 pounds

beauty and unlimited wealth, was CON

THE ALLIANOA AFFAIR.
The Negotiations with Spain Proceediu
with Great Secrecy.

The Negotiations with Spain Proceeding
with Great Secrecy.
WASHINGTON, March 19.--An impene-
trable mystery surrounds the negotiations
between the state department. and the
Spanish government on the Alliance af-
fair 1t seems to have been determined
by the officials of the state department.,
from the secretary down, that in the pre-
sent excited state of public feeling in this
country better progress can be made to-
wards peaceable settlement of the Incl
dent by keeping the various notes secret
than by giving publicity to them before
conclusion has been reached. Therefore
the only response to definite inquiries that
can be obtained is positive refusal to dis
cuss the subject in any aspect, and whether
or not any action has yet been taken by
the Spanish government in the direction
of issuing instructions to its naval officers
to refrain from further interference with
American shipping will probably be
learned first from Havana, from which
point the orders will be distributed.
AS the little gunboats are widely scat
tered along the Cuban coast and neighbor-
ing waters 1t Will not be an easy task to
communicate these orders speedily to all
of them, so 1t is just possible that there
may be some further incident, similar TO
the Alliance affair, before these orders are
made known to the Spanish naval com.
manders. 1t appears, In the light of events
OF this kind in the past, that the com-
manding officers OF the smaller craft are
not always Of a high degree of intelligence
or rank, for in cAsOs where they have
detained American ships they have found
1t necessary to hold the ships for several
days in order that they might fall in with
another and larger cruiser, with an officer
aboard OF sufficient intelligence TO read
and pass upon the adequacy OF the oap-
tive's papers.
The general impression here is that the
Alliance incident has already passed the
acute phase, and may be safely left TO
diplomatic adjustment in the. ordinary
course The Spanish minister has IN ad-
vance assured the state department that If
| Spain was In the wrong In the matter she
would speedily and voluntarily make all
proper reparation, and 1t is not doubted
that If she has not already done so Spain
| will soon instruct her naval officers TO alb
stain from stopping American ships. The
only questions then left to be settled will
be questions of fact as to the location of
the Alliance when she was first signalled,
the exact attitude toward her Of the Span
ish cruiser, and the question of interna-
tional law as to the right of search inside
of the marine league, the last only in case
II is shown that the Alliance was within
the limit

sPANIARDs AT 1T AGAIN.
Said TO Have Sunk an American Schooner,
with Sixteen Men.

Win SlAIeen MEN,
KEY WEST, Fla, March ia letter has
been received here from Cuba stating that
the Spanish gunboat Alcedo fired upon
and sunk supposed American schooner
off Puerto Padre, near Gibara with six
teen people on board. 1t is rumored that
the schooner was from Key West. The
schooner Goldenhind, of Key West, which
left here several weeks ago for a cargo of
fruit with a crew of sixteen men, had to
pass Puerto Padre, and may have been the
vessel in question. The schooners Louise
Hastings and Lille also sailed for fruit
several days ago, but neither had sixteen
men in their crew.
The latest news from Cuba is that the
government has captured schooner
loaded with arms and ammunition at
Havana, which was to go to Santiago de
Cuba. At Santa Clara several rifles were
captured hidden away in fields.
Dolores Aledo, young Cuban girl has
been confined to prison for aiding in the
concealment of arms at San Necolas street,
Havana, several days ago. A lieutenant of
volunteers, owner of Cafe Inglers, was
also jailed for connection with this affair.
