died in Silver Bow county. On the 9th
OF September she filed another petition
asking that the probate proceedings be
moved to Beaverhead county and said
she had been misled in her previous pc
tition by certain misstatements made in
the pretended and alleged will, which
stated that Schmidt had died in Silver
Bow county, whereas the facts were
that he had died in Beaverhead, where
all his properly was situated.
udge Lindsay made an order trans
ferring the case and a transcript of all
the papers, including the will. was sent
to Beaverhead county. A contest was
instituted at Dillon on the ground that
the will was a forgery, and it was there
fore necessary to have the original docu-
ment, and the clerk of the courts. under
instructions from Judge Lindsay, sent
the VIII by registered mail to Clerk
Price OF the court at Dillon. and in the
course of mail received his registry re-

BRAN TO BE TRIED AGAIN.

Boston, December 9.-It is announced
that Assistant Attorney General Boyd
has instructed District Attorney Jones of
this Federal district. to proceed with the
other trials growing out of the barkentine
Herbert Fuller tragedy at his earliest con-
venience. These cases are the indiot
ments Of Thomas III. Bran for killing the
second mate, and the Indictment, mol
pressed at the first trial, for the killing OF
the captains wife.
It is District Attorney Jcnes's intention
to try the last named case first. The in
dictmsnt was mol pressed at the sugges-
tion Of the court in order to simplify
matters, but it is believed that 1t -
stronger than the Indictment for the kill
ing Of the mate, and for that reason
Bran will be reindicted on that charge.
Bran is now in the state prison serving
q life sentence on the verdict brought In
by the second jury. His lawyers have not
again appealed to the Supreme court, al
though it is not improbable that they
may do so. They are waiting for the
opinion Of the supreme court on some ap-
peals in murder cases in Washington on
which the new statute Of January, 1897,
under which Bran was sentenced for
life. Is an issue.

GOVERNMENT OF CUBA.
Csblnet Discusses TARIFF and Postal
System.

Washington, December a.--The discus.
sion Of the details Of the administration
of government affairs in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines under the treaty
OF peace which Is about to be signed In
Paris, occupied q large part of the time at
todsy's cabinet meeting. The cabinet al.
SO talked over an elaborate tariff measure
which is now in preparation here to go
into force as now planned contemporaries
ously with the entire relinquishment OF
the island ty the Spanish on January i.
This tariff measure, it is said VIII snew
an average reduction all along the line Of
q about fifty per cent from the Spanish
tariff rates. The understanding now Is
that shere will be no export duties And
that in other ways the burden of taxation
will be reduced.
Postmaster General Smith remained in
consultation with the President almost
the entire afternoon. talking over ths
scheme of postal administration in Cuba.
There ara two projects considered, one to
establish United States system similar
to that now operating in Porto Rico,
under direct administration and full con-
troll OF the United States, and the other
to give the Cubans an independent postal
system to be established and equipped by
the United States government, but to be
operated and administered and all ex-
penses paid by the Cubans. this govern
ment merely furnishing equipment at
cost prices and assuming only a super
visory connection with il. A decision on
this point will be reached shortly. Post.
master General Smith will send several
representatives of the post Office depart
meDt to secure Information as to the con-
dition and needs.

NATIy ES REPORTED.

Washington, December 9.-The navy
department received cable from Admiral
Dewey summarizing the existing con-
dittons at Manila and such points In the
philippines as have been visited by his
ofHcers. Advices have been received also
from Gensr al Otis, the commandant OF
the United States military forces In the
islands and they both go to show
notHbls Inn proyements In the conditions
and the growth of a better spirit among
thoss factions of the natives which
promised to make trouble. This fact Is
paFtioularly gratifying as tho United
Statss government is already giving con-
slderatton to the best means to redeem
shs pledRe 1t will be placed under by the
treaty Of Paris to secure the release of the
Spanish prisoners held by the Philippine
natives.
There are about five hundred clerical
prisoners and the government Is confident
that their captors will deliver them upon
proper presentations from General Otis
and Admiral Dewey made possible
through Counsel Wildman. 1t may be
necessary to call the navy into service in
this matter, for the reason that some OF
the prisoners are held in captivity on
other islands than Luzon which can be
reached best and most effectively by Ad-
miral Dewey's ships. Besides those
clerical prisoners. the Americans them
selves bold nearly $4,000 Spanish soldiers
as prisoners, men captured at the fall of
Manila. Thsse are actually on parole
about the city and the question is how
are they to be returned to Spain. This
must bs settled by the peace commission
ers in Paris.
