A VERY CLOSE CALL.
Officers of the Fruit Steamer Brix-
ham, in Cuban Waters,
TAKE A SAIL FOR PLEASURE OFF GIDal,
And Narrowly Escape Arrest and De-
tention by Spanish Oficers, Who
Followed Them to the Deck
Of Their Vessel.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 3.-The fruit
steamer Brixham, Capt. Durie. has ar
rived from Gibara. Cuba, with a cargo
of bananas. The order Of Gen. Weyler
that fruit steamers shall not load at
interior ports has caused blockade Of
eight or ten steamers at Gibara. They
must wait while the bananas are light
cred long distances to the steamers.
Gen. Weyler's order was issued to pre-
vent tilibustering.
In consequence Of this, Chief Engi-
neer Carleton of this steamer Brixham
had narrow escape from a Spanish
dungeon. A week ago two officers OF
the steamer lowered a small boat from
the vessel which was lying at anchor
about mile off Gibara and went out
Tor a sail off the port. While skirting
the shore u group of Spanish officers
on land signalled for the two officers
to come ashore. The two men did not
know what to make of the request and
held their course, disobeying the sum
mons.
As the men bore away from the
shore the Spaniards put off in sloop
and began chasing the small boat from
the Brxham. II was a mile to the
steamer, and the sloop gradually
gained on the small boat in charge OF
Engineer Carleton, who pressed ON all
the canvas the craft would well carry.
When the officers reached the steam
er the Spanish sloop was only
a few feet behind, and the small
boat had some of its rigging
smashed in the hurry to get to the
Brixham's gangway. When the two
engineers leaped on board the Brixhan
the Spanish were almost near enough
to reach them. The Spaniards. armed
with guns, followed the two mer
aboard the steamer, and demanded
that they be surrendered by Capt
Durie. The captain, with an American
dag flying over his vessel, refused tn,
request Then the Spaniards sug
gestcd that the men go ashor,
and have the matter settled before the
American consul, but they refused
fearing the consequences II they got
on Spanish soil. The Spaniards then
left and no further trouble followed.
The vessel was afterward watched
by small Spanish boats and the officer
never went ashore again. Capt Duri'
stoutly maintained his rights undel
the American flag and in that way es
capped trouble.

to his lips and fell to the floor in
agony.
The girl tainted dead away. Some
one in the household heard the fall OF

A POPulIST CHALLENGE
Directed to John +. Newman, of San Fl o,
cisco.

cisco.
BosroS, Aug. 3.--George L. Wasi.
burn, of this city, eastern member OF
the national executive committee OF
the peoples party, has issued the fol.
lowing challenge to Bishop John r.
Newmau:
Bishop John r. Norman, San Erdncisco, Cal:
DEAR SIR. The press representatives, In re.
ports OF last week, credit YOU with the state
ment that populisls are no better than an
archists, and are not good American citizens,
aud that you would urge the thousand minis
ters in your home conference to use their In
fiuence. in the pulpit and out, against the
triumph OF Bryan aud Sewall an the election
OF a silver congress.
Now / belong to the party you insult, and
brand your alleged statements as ia Sc and un-
fair and challenge you to name a single popu-
list In this country who is also known rs an
anarchist am known as leader" OF the
church you represent II I am not good
American citizen :" may ask are my influence
and money wanted in your churchy II you are
no more correct in your spiritual utteranccs
than you are In your political, can we have any
confidence In eltherg
| agree with the prominent Catholic who
SAID he was willing to take his religion from
the head Of his church, but not his politics.
Now, bishop, for the sake of the church we
love, and the welfare OF the country, advise
you to let politics alone until you have studied
this monetary question.
| You refer to the attitude OF our church dur
ing the antl-slavery agitation to justify you 10
| directing your ministers 10 preach politics
during the campaign instead OF religion
| Has II occurred to you that the result OF this
| proposed line Of action may split our church
now Just Us it did at that timer
Let me inform you that 30 per cent. OF the
populist party are natlve-born American citi-
zens, comprising mostly the sturdy farming
element, which for years the statesmen OF both
the old parties proudly alluded to as the
"bone, snew and stability Of the country
These men are intelligent patriotic and true
and are called anarchists because they have
begun to think; and the result OF their think
| ing will be surprise party next November.
Again there were more delegates In our con-
vention who owned their homes and paid taxes
than that of any other political party. May
add. bishop, THAI you will find your own people
are not with you politically Every state In
your section will be carried for Bryan, not
withstanding your residence there.
| Lastly, the leading anarchist, Herr Most Is
| for the single gol. standard and the republican
party, and | defy you to name one In our ranks
as an offset to this.
| Yours for justice, GEORGE h. WAsHBURN,
Eastern Member Of National Executive Com
| mittee, Peoples Party.

A DEAD ISSUE
The Law Says How Win Should Be Made q
Avoid CompllcatlonS

! The Law Says How VIII Should Be Made "a
Avoid Complications
An opinion was handed down yester-
day by Judge Clark. in the matter Of the
estate of Miltenberger. deceased. The
deceased left will without naming any
one as executor. Application for letters
of administration was ma6sfM ]. A.
Kelsey. in behalf Of the next Of kin, viz,
a brother residing in Ohio, and at the
request of one of the devisees named in
the WILL
The application is contested by F. M.
Kelsey. the publis administrator, who
| claims prior right to letters. The
question involved is whether section
| 1865, c. c. p, applies. II so, then letters
must issue to the public administrator,
| for the brother being a nonresident is
not entitled to letters nor is he entitled
| to nominate. If the section does not ap-
ply and the court is vested with a dis
erection, then, bearing in mind the gen.
eral policy of the law that the admins
traitor Of an estate should be committed
to those who are the ultimate benefici-
aries-those to whom the property will
go after administration-the letters
should be issued to the applicant, ]. A.
Kelsey.
The section referred to by the court
reads: Administration of the estate Of
person dying intestate must be grant,
ed to some one or more Of the persons
hereinafter mentioned, the relatives Of
the deceased being entitled to adminis-
ter only when they are entitled to sue
coed to his personal estate or some por-
ton thereof. and they are respectively
entitled thereto in the following order,
etc. In the estate of Barton. 81 Cal. 6SS.
says Judge Clark, the deceased left a
will that named no executor, a petition
was filed by one of the devisees request
ing that letters of administration issue
to himself and to one w. r. Rowland.
The judge of probate made an order re-
citing that said applicants were fit and
proper persons and that if the appoint
ment was discretionary an order would
be made appointing them as such ad-
miniStrators, but that in the opinion Of
the court the public administrator was
entitled to letters as Of right and there
fore ordered letters issued to him. On
appeal this order was reversed, the SUI
preme court saying: "A decedent whose
will is entitled to be admitted to probate
did not die intestate and therefore sec
ton 1865 is not applicable, and the pro-
bate court in granting letters of admin
istration with the will annexed Is not
limited to the order therein prescribed.
1t is apparent that this decision is d.
rectly in point and is conclusive of the
question If not overruled.
Judge Clark proceeded to draw dis
tinction between the Barton case and
that of Ii Pc Tai, 10s Cal. 4S4, to which
attention was called by the contestant,
and concludes his opinion by saying
that until estate of Barton be overruled
it gives the law for the court and must
be followed.
Letters will therefore issue to j. A.
Kelsey. with bond placed at $500.

The Citrus Union high school district
is rent asunder by discord that threat
ems the peace and dignity of every in
habtant.
Within the district are included Azu-
sa. Glendora, Covina and fourth d.
vided district, and consequently there
are four trustees. These very worthy
gentlemen are at loggerheads, and over
a comparatively simple matter.
1t appears that during the past year
there has been a teacher named Mere
dith employed at the school, and so far
as can be learned he has proved efficient
in every way. His salary has been $500
per annum. and the trustees have dis
covered another teacher who, having
cast lascivious glances at the position,
is willing to do the same work for less
pay. In other words, he is willing to
accept as salary 500 per month. and two
of the trustees are willing to believe he
can do the same work. But two are not.
and right there the hitch comes in.
Honors are even-two on side-and
while two trustees desire to monument
sire nothing of the kind. All the folks
are interested in the scrap among
them literary fellers," and the ungodly
are laughing in their sleeves a fur
Their complication.
Inasmuch as the trouble partook
somewhat of the nature of little family
dispute by being left to themselves the
trustees might have found some way
out of the difficulty. But the mater
having been brought under the notice of
County Superintendent of Schools Spur
geon E. Riley. that gentleman has thrown
the fat in the fire, to use a vulgarism,
by taking peremptory action. He has
Informed the trustees that inasmuch as
they can't agree among themselves in
the selection of a teacher, 1t Is his opin-
ion that Mr. Meredith ought to be re-
tanned, and che so orders"
The trustees are now inclined to stop
all internal strife and join in common
assault upon Superintendent Riley
They want to know since when was
| he endowed with authority to order"
| them or anybody else in any such mat
ter. The law bearing upon the sub
ject neither makes him referee or au-
tocratic arbiter in such affairs, and if
school directors persist in evenly split
ting their votes, it is quite possible that
the schol district may lapse, but it can
not be saved by an Intervention on the
part of the county school superintend

JUDGES ON VACATION
Like Other Folks, They Are Beginning to Fit
to Shady Nooks and the Sea

The holiday season is making itself
felt about the courthouse. Judge Nc
Kinley has been in San Bernardino
county during the week inspecting the
waters of Lyle creek, and, although he
will be back on Monday, he will not hold
court again in department six until Sep
TENDER 14th. He has a clean calendar
until that date.
Judge York has held no court during
the best part of this week, and since the
Monte Vista closed on Tuesday Judge
Shaw has not sat for the trial of any
cases.
Judge Van Dykes department will
close today until September and indeed
the only calendar that shows such
plethoric proportions as to forbid any
demonstrations as to vacation time Is
in department one. Judge Smiths work,
like the babbling brook. goes on forever,
for people will get mad even in summer
weather. and stick knives into one an
other and otherwise misbehave them
selves. Judge Clark, in the probate de-
partment runs department one very

Quite unsensational but very necessary
