to allay Castilian susceptibilities, and
they will not affect the real point at

in all quarters and in the newspapers
throughout Europe at the fact that
Spain has at last done the right thing
for the first time during the war, and
peace is looked upon as being within

l BIG DAMAGE SUIT
SETH ABBOTT APPEARS I'M A
NEW ROLE
Charged With Attempting to Hug and
Kiss Widow-He Practically
Proves an Alibi

SAN DIEGO, May 26.-The $4,000 dam
age suit of Mary Owens against Seth Alb
bott, father of the famous prima donna.
Emma Abbott, which has been on
trial in the superior court for the past
three days, came to an end this afternoon,
when Judge Hughes dismissed the case.
The proceedings throughout were touched
with tinge of merriment which at times
even brought a smile to the judges face.
The plaintiff is buxom widow of about
i5 years of age, and weighing not less
than 2O pounds, while the defendant is
small of statue, 50 years of age, and
weighs not more than 12O pounds Under
such conditions the odds of strength were
decidedly in favor of the widow, but in
support of her cause she told the court
how Mr. Abbott first held her by the wrists
and then threw his arm around her neck,
and in his attempt to kiss and hug her
had squeezed her, "Oh! so hard!' The
witness especially dwelt upon the scraping
of her assailant's moustache across her
face, and said that the experience was so
horrible that she almost tainted. In his
defense Abbott denied the soft impeach-
ment, and claimed that suit was simply
instituted to extort money from him.
Word has been received here that Mo-
rales, the outlaw who has been fugitive
from justice since he murdered Sheriff
Wilson In Riverside county, was at Enci-
nitas few days ago. Local officers have
started out to investigate the report.
A private letter received here this morn
ing from resident of this city, who is
now in New York, confirms the report
that steamship line will soon be in opera
tion between San Diego and Yokohama
and adds that the same company will also
establish line from San Diego to South
American ports.

tered this port a few days ago under the
Mexican flag, to-day hauled up the union
jack and has been renamed the st. Denis.

cisco, where they were called to report for
