Identity of the Spanish Cruiser Which
Fired on the Alliance.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Nothing is
known here of the reported action of the
Spanish ships Infanta Isabella or Ar
cedo firing on American vessels. There
is good ground, however, for believing
that the ship sailing from Savannah
with Cuban arms aboard will furnish an
actual case of detention if she is over
hauled. Careful investigation is pro-
ceedlng 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-
tons have been received in Washington
from Cuba that the Conde de Venadito
was the Spanish warship firing on the
Alliance. These advces 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-
tons by Spain. One part of Spain's
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
adito reported the steamer upon which
he fred 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, &C
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 YES
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.

intervene to stop the agreement are
known to be misleading, from positive
information received here. The authori-
ties believe there will be no trouble
caused by Russia. The same is be-
leyed to be true as to France, although
not with the same certainty.

THE KEEPER OF THE WILL.

SAN Francisco, March 20.-It now
turns out that the new will was left in
charge of Mrs. Nettie L. Craven, prin-
cipal in the public schools, and who was
a great friend of Senator Fair. The will
was written in the house of Mrs. Has
kins, with whom Mrs. Craven lived, and
in the presence Of both witnesses. 1t
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 his will just as he would like it, and
made several other remarks, which led
Mrs. Craven to propose that he make
new will then and there, and have her
as witness, and that he make pro-
vision in the will for fund for the sup
port of school teachers who had taught
for twenty-five years or more. To all
this the senator agreed, and then sat
down and wrote the paper which was
presented to the court to-day. The
reason assigned for keeping the new will
so long in the background is that the
custodian did not look at the date of the
will when Fair died, and when the other
will was made public she thought it was
one of later date.

JAMES FAIRS ESTATE
Another and a Later Will Has
Been Found.
SENSATION IN THE CONTEST CASE
1t Was Left With a Young Lady Teacher
in the Public Schools, and Warm
Friend of the Senator's, and Was
Written in Her Presence.

Friend of the Senator's, and Was
Written in Her Presence.
SAN Francisco, March 2O.-The con-
tention in the courts over the millions
lett by James G. Fair developed another
sensation this morning. When the
case was called before Superior Judge
Slack great stir was caused by the
introduction of what purports to be a
later Photographic will written in lead
pencil on two sheets of legal cap paper.
1t was brought into court securely
framed between two plates of glass by
Reuben Lloyd, who has been retained
in the case by Mrs. Oelrichs and Vir-
ginia Fair, daughters of the deceased.
This alleged will divides the estate
almost equally between the two daugh-
tiers and Charlie Fair. 1t bequeaths a
few thousand dollars to certain orphan
asylums, and makes no provisions for
such trust as the estate is left in con-
troll of under the will previously filed.
Messrs. Angus and Crothers are two
of the four executors named in the pre-
viously filed will. Referring to this
alleged will, Attorney Lloyd informed
the court that the document, according
to its date, was executed three DAYS
later than the will previously filed. He
said he would prove that the existence
of this will had been known to several
persons, and that it had finally been
found in the possession of very es-
Unable old lady, whose name LLOYD did
not divulge, Lloyd said the old lady had
not produced it because she had read
of the other will being offered for pro-
bate, and had supposed that it was a
later document than the one she held.
The fact that this new alleged will has
been presented in court by Attorney
Lloyd would indicate that Charlie Fair
and his sisters have joined forces to con.
test the will of their father.
The attorneys who represent the exc
cutors under the will previously filed,
and of which the original copy was
stolen, intimated very strongly that
they believed this latest alleged will to
be forgery. The case was finally con-
tinued to April 2.
The alleged will produced to-day be-
p QuodtIlS W various UIOtucIS anu SIstcTS
of deceased and their children about the
same amounts as was left to them
under the will previously filed. Under
the first will the families of these
brothers and sisters would acquire a
large proportion of the estate at the
death of Fairs children, Charles, Vir-
ginia and Mrs. Oelrichs. but under the
will filed to-day the brothers and sisters
and their families would receive only
{he amount of cash stated in the will
and the balance OF the 0,O00, 900 estate
could be distributed at once among the
three children of the deceased.
The special requests to relatives and
charitable institutions are:

a small bog Experiment.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Early in the afternoon last Sunday the
big carp which occupies the pond with
the pelican in Golden Gate Park had a
most sickening experience. 1t seems that
a boy of an inquiring mind tossed a small
chunk of shaving soap to the fish to see if
the carp would eat it. He, did, and has
been sorry ever since. After taking the
morsel, the carp sank quietly to the bot
tom of the pond and apparently engaged
in deep thought. Then his eyeballs sud-
denly dilated and his fins wriggled con-
Vulsively. A second later large bubble.
with rainbows in it, rose to the surface
and floated slowly around in circle. The
carp gasped, and a perfect flood of suds
and bubbles gushed from his mouth and
gills. He dashed wildly along the bottom
of the pond. coughing up lather enough
to run half the barber shops in town. Great
riffs Of suds. foam and bubbles formed
on the surface, but the fish seemed to
have good supply of soap remaining.
At times he leaped clear out Of the water.
evidently looking for something to take
the taste out of his mouth, but. not find
ing it, the unhappy carp went below
again. In the course of twenty minutes
he had his system comparatively clear of
soap. but for the rest of the day the fish
took little or no interest in what was
going on.
