The Harrington Will Case.

The following rescript has been sent
down from the law court in the Earring
ton will case:
Cumberland, SIS.
Ira K. Harrington ct ais, in equity, vs..
William L. Putnam and Thomas II.
Haskell, Exrs., ct ais.
Peters, G. j. The Maine Eye and Ear
Infirmary is charitable association or
ganized under a general statute which al
lows it to take and hold by purchase,
gift, devise or bequest, personal or real
estate, in all not exceeding one hundred
thousand dollars in value owned at any
one time The institution already has
that full amount of property as capital,
and if it receives the personal and real
estate bequeathed and devised to it in
trust for charitable purposes by the late
Ira 2. Harrington, it will then possess
the property SO bequeathed and devised
in excess of the amount authorized by it's
act of organization. The next of kin of
the testator, by bill in equity instituted
after the probate of the will, against the
corporation and the executors, seek for
this cause to have such provisions of the
will declared to be imperative and void.
Held. That the will is valid on it's face,
there being no statute in this state limit
ing the testamentary capacity of the tes-
tator; that the limitation, in the charter
of the corporation, of the amount of prop
erty it may hold, was mainly intended
as a regulative and directory provision,
and is only implicitly and not expressly
prohibitory, no penalties being attached
thereto; that the charter is contract or
compact between the corporation and the
state, the limitation being for the benefit
of the general public represented by the
state, and not for the heirs of the tesla
tor or any particular persons; that any
transgression of the compact by the cor
poration in accepting excessive devises or
requests is an offense only against the
state, and in no sense an offense against
the heirs of the testator ct his next of
kin; that the contested devises and be-
quests are Voidable only and not void,
and must be treated as valid until de.
clared void; that whether they shall be
declared void or be permitted to remain
as valid is a question of policy or expedi-
ency which the state must determine for
itself, a governmental and not judicial
question; that such question can only
be determined in a direct proceeding orig
mated by the state through it's represen
tative officers, and not by any collateral
proceeding brought by or for the benefit
of any individuals to set such provisions
aside; and, finally, that the state has not
hitherto, in the present condition of its
charitable institutions, felt any motive to
enforce strict exactions upon them, nor
has the legislature yet seen cause for plac-
ing restraint upon the power of testators
to bequeath property to such institutions,
a step easily taken when deemed neces-
sary or wise to do SO. Exceptions over
ruled. Appeal dismissed. Judgment be-
low affirmed.

SENSATION IN HAVANA
A Letter From Spains New Pro-
mior, Gen. Azcarraga.
SPAIN WILL RESENT INTERFERENCE.
The Haughty Dons Would Prefer War
with the United States to Any Yield
ing to Pressure From the United
States Government.

HAVANA, Sept. GA great sensation
has been caused here by letter from
Gen. Marcelo Azcarraga, now Spain's
prime minister, addressed to one of the
leading Spaniaris in Havana, Though
not word Of the letter has been pub
lished in the local press, 1t is publicly
known, through the high Spanish OIL
cials and members Of the union con-
stitutional party, to whom it was
shown at a private dinner at the house
of the gentleman who received it.
The letter refers to the answer
which the Spanish government is
to give to any proposal Of interference
from the United States that Gen. Wood
ford may make to the court of Spain,
and its mostimportant paragraphs say:
"Ihe Spanish patriots in Cuba ought
not to entertain the least apprehension
about the mission of Mr.. Woodford. Ac-
cording to the governments informa-
tion from its representative in Wash
ingtOn the intentions of the United
States are probable much eXaggerat-
ed, and besides our position is so
clear and our determination to repay
unjust pretention Of that nation 50
emphatic, that we are resolved before
yielding to 60 to all extremes, even to
war, if necessary, to defend our sacred
rights in Cuba,
''Nor, if we go to war, shall we be
less confident of the triumph OF Spain.
We will be the champions of the great
political principles of European coloni-
cation in America against that
wrong idea that the United States
is the arbter of national life and
property in the new world. We will
have the sympathies of Europe-no
doubt about that-and Europe will not
consent TO our expulsion from Cuba
The day in which, by the power Of
arms, or yielding before a warlil1e
pressure from the United States, we
shall give Cuba up, that day will be the
eve of England's loss of Canada and
Jamaica and Frances departure from
her American colonies. No, Europe
will not consent to our failure and
our arms will have better oc-
easion to display their strength in
contest against a civilized country
than in the guerilla fights in the Ma
niquas Of Cuba. We shall have, evan
if we fail, hand to lift us up in the
last moments
The letter goes on to say Woodford
will be cordially received, but if he at
tempts any Interference his answer
will be prompt and decisive Weyler
