JAPAN AND HAWAII.
Former Demands Damages of the
Latter.

San Francisco, May 21.-The steamer
Belgic arrived from the Orient today,
flying the yellow flag, and was imme-
diately placed in quarantine at Angel
Island When boarded, however, it was
found that there was no sickness
aboard, but that a case of varioloid had
broken out while the vessel was in
japanese waters and that the patient
had been sent ashore at Hokodate. AS
a precautionary measure the steerag e
passengers and their baggage were
fumigated before being landed.
The sBelgic touched at Honolulu and
brought advices from there to the effect
that the resident Japanese minister
visited the Hawaiian foreign office on
May II, and presented the correspond
the Nanaiwa, regarding the case of the
rejected immigrants to Minister Cooper,
but no action had been taken in the
premises when the steamer sailed
hence It is understood that the Jap
anese government demands damages
from Hawaii for the refusal of the lat
ter to allow the immigrants to land,
and in the event of its refusal to pay
the amount demanded will insist upon
knowing its reasons therefor Both
Minister Shimawura and Counsellor
Akiyama are emphatic in their assur-
ances that Japan viii not submit to ar
bitration in the event of Hawaii's re-
fusaI to settle. but neither would COM
nit himself as to what the japanese
government has proposed TO do in that
case.

The Body Recovered

Portland. Ore, May 21.-The body OF
the late millionaire banker w. S. Laid,
which was stolen from the grave last
Monday night, was recovered today
and Daniel G. Magone, a middle-aged
farmer living near Oregon City, and
Charles Montgomery, a young man
who also resides near Oregon City, are
under arrest. Montgomery has made a
confession duplicating Magone and two
other men who are yet at large. After
Montgomery had made his confession
he took the officers to where the body
was buried. This was on Magone's
farm, one mile and half below Oregon
City on the Willamette river The body
was found practically in the same con-
dition as when raised from the grave
The principal clue leading to the arrest
of the men and the recovery of the
body, was a drawing knife with which
the casket was opened and which was
left at the grave. A blacksmith at
Milwaukee made the knife, and when
it was shown to him by the detectives
he Immediately recognized it as one
that he had made for Magone a short
time before

CORNER STONE OF HEALTH
Effect of Paine's Celery Compound Upon
the Blood and Nerves.

Now is the season to lay the founda-

The corner stones of good health are
complete digestion. sound sleep, pure

The wonderful success of Paine's Gel

accounted for by physicians by it's ex-
traoIdinary power of nourishing and

1t is not strange that so many I'M
scientific remedies do no permanent
good when thev disregard this close

MINER DIVORCE CASE.
COUNTY ATTORNEY INVESTI-
eating THE CASE.
Against C. W. Miner and His Broth
er For Perjury Alleged to Have
Been Committed at the First
Hearing of the Case.

1t appears that the divorce case in
which c. W. Miner was plaintiff and
his wife the defendant has not yet gone
into oblivion. although Mrs. Miner was
granted the decree on her cross com-
plant some months ago.
Mr.. Miner began the proceedings by
filing a suit for a divorce and on the
next dav he came into court and pre-
senting a waiver of time and summons
signed by his wife got the decree on
the grounds of desertion, the plaintiff
and his brother S. B. Miner, testifying
to the desertion by Mrs. Miner.
Soon after. Mrs. Miner by her at
torneys, Messrs. Powers, Straup &
Lippmaa, came into court with pc
tition that the decree be set aside, al
leging that the divorce was taken
without her consent and that instead
of having deserted her husband she
was living with him at the time the di-
Vorce was granted, and continued TO
live with him for some time afterwards
and until she learned that she had been
divorced and that her husband had
been given the custody of the children.
The court set aside the former decree
and. on Mrs. Miners cross complaint.
awarded her the decree of divorce, the
custody of the children and $4,000 ali
mony. In these proceedings Mr.. Mil
ner failed to appear and made neither
answer nor defense, he having left the
city and, it was said, went to British
Columbia.
Mrs. Miner says that since the ali
mony was awarded her and for a long
time before her husband contributed
nothing to her or the children's sup
port and she has been unable to get
any of the alimorS, awarded her. not
withstanding the fact that her former
husband is well fixed financially.
She is very sore about this and for
some time has been trying 10 induce

DUEL AVOIDED.
Exciting Incident Between the Duke
of Tetuan and Senator Comas.

Exciting Incident Between the Duke
of Tetuan and Senator Comas.
Madrid, May 21.-The exciting Incl
dent which eliminated in a free fight
today was provoked by the statement
Sagasta's speech the other day to the
liberals had contributed to bring about
the vote in the American senate.
General Luis Pando said: THE thing
now happening is due TO the cowardice
and feebleness of the government"
Senator Cemas said: You will dis
cuss that tomorrow"
I'VE will discuss it," replied the Duke
of Tetuan, t'but 1 will accept dictation
from nobody"
Nor / either" retorted Senator Co
mas, at the top of his voice.
At this point the Duke of Tetuan,
pale with excitement, boxed both ears
of Senator Comas. and felled him to
the floor The son of Cornas threw
himself upon the duke and struck him
heavy blow with his fist. Several
senators interviewed and general scuf-
f1e ensued, with great confusion and it
was some time before order was re-
stored.
The Duke of Tetuan rendered his
resignation Immediately after the Incl
dent. II is believed that he misunder-
stood the reply of Senator Comas, as
he is regarded as an extremely courte-,
Gus and honorable man.
Senator ComaS is a professor i'll the
University of Madrid and is held in
high esteem in scholastic and political
circles.
Senior Canovas, Senior Sagasta and
the president of the senate, had a long
conference on the subject but all main
tain the greatest reserve.

evening, but no reference was made to
the incident. 1t adjourned at 10 o'clock

WESTERN MONTE CARLO.
It Will Be Established in Mexico
Just Over the Boundary Line.

San Diego. Cal, May 21.-It has
leaked out here that the concession
obtained by Jesse Grant and his as
sociates from the Mexican government
for lands surrounding the famous Hot
Springs of Tia Juana, across the
boundary line, includes a privilege for
running lottery and gambling de-
vices. 1t is said that Grant does not
intend to enter the business but that
eastern people are prepared to take
control of this feature of the conces-
sion while Grant attends to the colo
nization and development of the mines
at Waters. The identity of the
eastern people is not known
but since it has been learned that
the Dryers are figuring on the
purchase of the Ryerson and San
Antonio ranches some miles below
Tiajuana to be sold for raising racing
stock. A local real estate man who is
handling the matter for his associates
is authority for the statement that the
intending purchasers declare they will
build the finest gambling house in the
world at the Springs, to cost $1,000 900,
including every game of chance and a
lottery in connection with it. The deal
is to be closed this afternoon.
