BLOODY BATTLES
Check the Progress Of Rebellion in
Uruguay

WASHINGTON May 14.-Recent mail
advices from Uruguay received here
state that the revolution has been check
ed after bloody battle at Tres Arbates
in which large number of revolution
lists were killed and their forces driven
tothe frontier. At the same time the
government has seen fit to allay public
discomfort by taking into the ministry
several leaders who heretofore have
been regarded as leaders in the seditious
movement. The minister of war, Gen.
Diaz, gave way for this purpose to Gen.
Perez. who was acting president Of the
committee officially denounced as sedi-
tious and revolutionary. This is ac-
cepted as the first step toward making
terms with the revolutionists, although
strict censorship of the press prevents
any construction being placed on the
course Of the government The fighting
has been bloody, the deaths reaching
into hundreds. The president has issued
proclamation congratulating General
Munoz on his last success In dispensing
the revolutionists and dress sword is
to be presented to him. The government
forces have been reinforced by mobiliza-
tion of the national guard, made up of
5000 men and large consignmerts of
arms and ordnance have been received
from Belgium.

THE CRAVEN DEEDS
The Day Spent in Argument by
Attorneys


SAN FRANCISCO. May 14-The
Jurors in the case of Angus VS.. Craven.
involving the Fair estate, were excused
today, the entire time of the court being
occupied with argument In reference to
the objection Of Mrs. Craven's attorney
hat the Photographic enlargements
introduced by the plaintiff are irree
want. The question at Issue at the pres
ent stage is really as to the admissibility
of evidence tending to prove that the
pencil will dated September 81, 1894, is
a forgery. According to the testimony
of Mrs. Craven, the will wac drawn and
read by Senator Fair, whereupon Mrs
Haskins called his attention to the fact
that 1t contained no provision for Mrs.
Craven.
II have provided for her in this way"
replied the senator as he produced the
pencil deeds in question and gave them
to her.
The plaintiffs claim that the will is a
part of the same transaction and really
called into existence the deeds. They
maintain that evidence that the will is
forgery will tend'to prove the deeds
given at the time are forgeries. They
take the position that the will is fabri-
Gated evidence in support of forgery.
Mrs. Craven'e attorney opposed the.
admission Of the evidence on the ground
that proof of one forgery by certain
person is not competent to prove another
forgery by the same person.
Mrs. Craven's attorney cited the
Sharon case more than any other The
attorney for the Blair administrators
replied that the dear wife" letters in
the Sharon CAGE were introduced in court
by Photographic reproductions exactly
in the same manner as Photographic
reproductions had been brought into
court in this case.
