MR. Taylor Refuses TO Discuss Minis
ter Woodford's Pronuncia.

the former United States Minister to
Spain arrived here yesterday evening and
called at the United States Embassy to.
day. In an interview MIR. Taylor said:
The grave negotiations pending be-
tween the United States and Spain as TO
the war in Cuba are now entirely in ths
hands of Gen. Woodford, who has had
fruitful experience both in pence and
war, and will he equal to the occasion.
whatever IL may be. p"
MIR. Taylor was questioned in regard to
the accuracy Of the statements contained
in the despatch from San Sebasiti n
to the Temps OF Pairs, purporting to
give the substance of tho interview
which took place on Sunday last between
General Stewart l.. Woodford and the
Duke OF Iotuan, in which General Wood
ford is said 60 have insisted oourtoously
but firmly upon the necessity Of termn-
ating the war in Cuba, and to have
declared that If il is not terminated y
the end of October the United States VIII
feel justified in taking meaures TO procure
the Independence of Cuba. In reply, the
former minister said;
My lips are scaled until after my ar
rival at Washington.
But, while Mr.. Taylor refused to dis
cuss this matter his manner tended to
confirm the story told by the correspon-
dent Of the Paris Temps.
Regarding the general feeling in Spain
Mr.. Taylor remarked

from any one but for the past year my

MRS. .ROSSM CONTEMPT
Continued from Page I.
THE CONCLUSION REACHED

THE CONCLUSION REACHED.
The eleventh and twelfth reasons set
forth in the motion are explanatory in
regard TO tho many continuanCes sought
by Mrs Ross and concludes as follows
The conclusion 10 justified from the
facts proved that the appellant il either
"monomaniao" on the subject of great
estates. or that she is now. as formerly,
using her claims as mean of obtaining
money, or both. In any event her pro
ceedinRs constitute fraud upon the
court and the parties. To further
countenanoe her in this course would bs
a scandal and travesty upon Justice
Whersfore. these appellees move this
honorable court for an Immediate trial. "
The motion was argued, by the King
attorneys ana opposed by tho representa-
tives of Mrs. Ross. after which recess
was taken till this morning, when the
court rendered its decision as already
stated.
MR.. SHEFFIELD'S STATEMENT.
Mr.. Sheffield for the Kings today gave
a brief account Of the many devious ways
of Mrs. Ross. especially in relation TO
this uncle, Poiatiah w. Gordon, who was
in Boston in 1892 and skipped 10 Texas.
Mrs. Ross sued to recover ner share of his
estate and won, proving his death.
Later she made two agreements. both Of
which depended on his deoease in Texas
person called w. ii. King, recently de-
ceased.
The court ruled that the order OF the
chief justice for q bill of particulars conld
not be removed by this court and ad-
judged Mrs. Ross in contempt for not
obeyinO it.
At the request of Judge Wilson this was
put in writing and the hearing OF the
case Vas begun. Mr.. Sheffield told OF the
years Mrs Ross had been following this
estate and of the annoyance she had
caused the King family financially and in
the notoriety caused by her persecution.
Tne estate had been to great expense TO
defend the various suits and was entitled
to have the case settled.
JUDGE BAKER A WITNESS.
Judge Baker of the Probate Court was
called up as the first witness and told of
the sppointmsnt OF George Gordon King
and Miss Birkhead as administrators on
the estate Of w. II. King.
Miss Annie King, niece OF Williom
H.. was called and told about the various
members of the family
Judge Wilson asked leave TO Withdraw
the appeal of Mrs. Ross, but this the court
would not allow since Mrs. Ross was in
contempt.
The court said 1t would not give
judgment unless convinced that the par
ties were entitled to it.
COURT ISSUES AN ORDER.
No more witnesses were called. and after
some discussion the court issued an order
confirming the action of the Probate
Court declaring that the admin strators
appointed represented the next of kin of
w. II. King, and that Mrs. Ross did not.
and giving Judgment for costs against
Mrs Ross. Thus ended the first suit in
this city.
Mrs. Ross, accompanied by Mrs Hood.
arrived this morning and WIS served with
subpoena In one OF the numerous King
cases. she was not visible To tho report
ers, but II is generally admitted that tie
inglorious ending OF her case here today
will not prevent her from earring the
case TO the United States courts.

OLNEYVILLE.
Again In DeStitu COndit on Removing
Old Buildings.

The Canavey family, whose destitute
circumstances last winter gained for it
much sympathy and the assistance OF a
charitable organization, is once more in
trouble. As far a. can be observed, its
condition has not been improved any
during the summer, Notwithstanding
that the head of the family has been
steadily employed at salary of SO a
week. The rent OF the little tenement in
the Winsor court has not been paid for
several months the rooms arc as barren
of furniture and the ordinary household
comforts and the three little children,
ragged and neglected in appearance, as
they were last winter.
Thomas Canavey, the father OF the
family, has been living under the assum-
ed nams of John Kennedy. Last week his
landlord threatened to eject him
from his tenement. but he promised to
make payment on the rent due when he
got his pay Saturday night. Saturday
night came but he failed TO make good
his promises and nothing has been seen
OF him since.
This morning deputy sheriff went to
the house To serve writ OF ejectment
but when he saw the condition of things
he agreed to give them day in which TO
movc out. III they do not leave today
their few belongings will be placed on the
sidewalk tomorrow.
The oldest of tho three is eight years of
age, and he never yet attended school.

money earnings for drink IL Agent

titution when the cold weather returns.
