JAPAN's STRONG SQUADRON.
To Cooperate with America in Case
of Complications

= London, July ga special dispatch
from Shanghai says four Russian men-of-
war have left Port Arthur, and it is sup
posed their destination is the Philippine
Islands.
Another special dispatch from Shan
ghai says the Japanese warships, Wosh-
ino, Chinyen, Itsukushima and Sal Yen
have been hastily dispatched to Saioseho
to reinforce the Japanese squadron there,
making it the strongest in those waters.
1t has been ordered to cooperate with
the British and American admirals in the
event of international complications.
While the dispatch does not explain the
matter, it is inferred the squadron is de-
signed to be in readiness for Philippine
operations.

Quality.

1t is feature of the present that the
purchasing public are not only careful, but
critical in making their purchases.
This is as it should be. Intense COM
petition tends to promote limitations and
adulterations. 1t is therefore safe policy
to rely on established reputation in choos-
ing from the many names that compete
for your patronage. The name Obelisk
has always been associated with the high
est grade hour-a synonym of absolute
purity and never varying quality.

THIS THE FIRST STEP.

Although peace rumors have been cur
rent almost daily, heretofore, since the
war began, not one of them had the shadow
of foundation, and until the French am
bassador received Instructions from Paris
ISte last night, no overtures of any kind
had been received.
Shortly before midnight last night a
dispatch to the French embassy made it
known to the embassy that the ambassa-
dor would be charged with the important
mission Of opening peace negotiations in
behalf of Spain. The complete <instruc-
tions, including an official letter from
Duke Almadovar de Rio, Spanish Minister
of Foreign Affairs, were received this
morning.
Thereupon NJ. Thiebeaut, first secre-
tary of the embassy, called at the State
Department and asked that an hour be
appointed for a call by Ambassador Cam
bon on the President, The purpose Of the
call was not stated. 1t was arranged at
the White House that the call should be
made at 8 O'Clock.
Nj. Cambon first came to the State De-
partment, where he was joined by Secre-
tary Day, and the two then proceeded to.
gether to the White House. The call
lasted about half an hou", and after the
first formalites had been exc ;uted by NJ.
Cambon, the talk became general and
quite formal, the President, the embP3-
:. .sador and the Secretary of State discuss
ing the outlook for conclusion Of hos
tilities,

President, during which the Spanish pro

said afterward that it was an initial move,
but in reply to inquiries as to whether ii
was likely to bring speedy cessation of

that no decision on the points involved

VERY GENERAL IN TERMS.

The pro. position submitted by the am
bassador, acting for the Spanish govern
ment, WAS quite general in terms, and
was cunlned to the one essential point OF
all earnest plea that negotiations be op-
ened for the purpose of terminating the
war and arriving at terms of peace. The
communication of the Spanish govern
ment did not suggest any specific terms OF
peace, nor WAS any reference made to
Cuba, the Philippines, Porto Rico, or Of
other Spanish possessions. The evident
purpose of the MADRID authorities was to
first learn whether the United States
would treat on the subject of peace, and
after that to take up such terms as the
two parties might suggest
Neither was there suggestion from
the Spanish government that an armis-
tice be established pending the peace ne
goLiations. It seemed natural however,
from the proposition that formal peace
negotiations be entered upon, that pend
ing their conclusion cessation Of hostili
ties would occur.
Owing to the Importance of the COM
munication, the ambassador adopted the
usual diplomatic procedure ofreading the
communication from the original, II
French, the translation being submitted
by Nj. Thiebeaut. In the conversation
which followed the reading of the pro
position, neither the President nor the
ambassador entered upon the question o.
the terms of peace. The instructions o.
he ambassador had confined him to the
one essential point of opening peace nego
tiations, and it was evident that the Pres
ident desired to consider the proposition
at this moment before giving any definite
leply.
WILL CONSULT THE CABINET.
1t was finally determined that the Pres
ident would consult members of his cabi
net concerning the proposition, and afte1
a decision had been arrived at, NJ. Cam
bon would then be invited to the White
House for further conference and for 6
final answer from the United States gov
ernment.
Before the call closed, brief officia
memorandum was agreed upon, in orde
to set at rest misleading conjectures anC
to give the public information on sub
iect which had advanced beyond th'
point where diplomatic reserve was essen
tial
When the President will submit th
Spanish proposition to the cabinet has no
vet been announced.
The call of the Ambassador was tw'
hours after the cabinet meeting OF toda.
had closed, and-there will not be anothe
regular cabinet meeting until Friday. l
is generally understood, however, that
special cabinet meeting will be held, in OF
der to make ompt reply to the the prop
osition.

A CORPSE AND A FORTUNE.
A Strange Will Recalled by a Probate
 Court Proceeding.

The will of Annie Eastman Marsh was admitted to probate in this county yesterday for the purpose of removing a cloud upon certain property near the West End building which Mrs. Marsh dide seized of. Mrs. Marsh was a resi- dent of Greeley, Colo, physician Of the homeopathic school and a very ec- centric woman. The science of medi- cine was dearer to her than husband or other relatives and accordingly sev- eral years ago when she was quite wealthy, she made will bequeathin" all of her property and her body to 8 homeopathic medical college in Mich igan for the advancement of science There was another clause in the wilt providing that if the Michigan bene ficiary did not choose to avail itself Of the bequest that the wealth and corpse should go to any other medical col lege of that particular school which should first claim it. There was still another clause. If no medical college happened to be allured by the gen. erous provisions of the will, the body was to be cremated. The will con. tained brief dissertation proving tha cremation was the natural and best way to dispose of the dead.
 The Michigan medical college was not attracted by the gift of a fortune and a corpse hand in hand, especially as the fortune seemed likely to be at tended by a vexatious law suit, fo~ Mrs. Marsh had a husband living ard he would almost certainly try to as. sert his rights. The will betrayed so many evidences of the decedent's ec- cnntrinitV mt tn ntoI ,1rcnl1nd. ness, that it did not look as if it could withstand an assault The body was finally taken by medical college at Denver. but the fortune did not go with it. The husband retained that and it was not much of a fortune after all. Mrs. Marsh's death occurred about the time the panic began and as the panic hit Colorado particularly hard much of the property in which she had invested was worthless or greatly Appreciated. Her husband IS said to have recovered about s5,OoG from the wreck

l it, so that in the first place the plain tiff wants an order from the court re-
 straining him from doing so until this
 dispute can be fully investigated. She
 also and primarily wants divorce.
 Two women raised a riot at Five
 Points yesterday afternoon. The chief rioter, Maria de Grande, big and not
 bad looking Italian housekeeper for Charlie Salari, is in jail. The trouble broke out in Salari's store. The other woman, a Mexican, went in, she says. after some candy, and Miss De Grande says after trouble. Anyhow that is what she got. The Italian knocked her down with a piece of half-inch iron pipe and beat her after she was down. A telephone was sent to the sheriff's office and Constable John Becl; went out to Five Points and brought the daughter of Italy back with him. Judge Kincaid put her under a $500 bond to appear for her examination next week. She was unable to fur nish it and went to jail. The trouble seems to have had it's origin in dis pute about the husband of the woman who got the worst of it.
 JOln DOuuSi, WuO WAS HHSu III J uS- tice Johnstone's court on Friday night for smashing doors and terrOrizing the residents of block fl, was brought in again yesterday morning on sim liar charge. This time his fine was doubled. Late in the afternoon a girl of the block named Annette applied for a peace warrant against him fo, having frequently threatened to kill her and himself She said she did not care how often and how dead he killed himself, but she was the only support of an aged father and mother and could not afford to be cut off prema turely. The application for a warrant was taken under advisement and in the meantime the officers were in structed to keep an eye on Mr. Boudet and search him for concealed weapons whenever they found him in the block One of his door breaking enterprises at another house was headed off by a woman with a Colts revolver
