HOT WORDS END IN BLOODSHED Tragedy Near the Little Village of Clarks-
 burg.
Jeffie Cabe Kills Louis IShan, His Brother-in-Law, Over
 Trifling Dispute.
There Are Some Fears of a Lynchinq by the Slain Mans
 NeighbOrs.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. PA shock ing tragedy occurred this morning near the little village of Clarksburg, on the Yolo side of the river, some fifteen miles south of this city. Jeffie Cabe, a young son of one of the most prominent of Yolo's old-time farmers shot and killed his brother-in-law, Louis Isham. in a quarrel over a trifiing matter. The af- fair occurred at the pumphouse of the Lisbon reclamation district, where both men were at work. Cabe insisted on hauling away some cfnders, to which Isham objected. They had some hot words over the matter. and Isham went to his house and got his pistol. When he returned Cabe had a load of cinders, with which he was about to drive away, when Isham stopped his team. An other wrangle ensued, and it is said that Isham either drew his pistol or attempted to do so when Cabe grabbed his shotgun and fired. The charge took effect in the breast, neck and face of Isham, and he died this afternoon. Cabe claims he acted in self-d defense.
 About o'clock Cabe was seen at Freeport on his way to Sacramento, and told a friend that he was going there to engage a lawyer. Coroner Bean of Woodland has been notified of the shooting and will go after the body tomorrow morning.
 Isham has a host of friends about Clarksburg, and fears are entertained that should Cabe return to that locality there may be some demonstration against him. Isham was a married man and leaves widow, sister of his slayer, and three children to mourn him, while Cabe was single. Cabe will be arrested as soon as the necessary papers can be taken out

 SAN JOSE, Jan. 12-Isaac Irwin. alias Isaac Marvin, the Oregonian who assaulted and came near killing E. A. Brown, the Hollister rancher, in a lodging-house in this city last Sunday morning and escaped with the trousers of his victim containing s39O, was cap- tured this afternoon at the ranch of Valley, about twenty miles east of this city, by Deputy Sheriff Tenant Constable William Fay of Morgan Hill and Officer Scully.
 Irwin was in the field blowing for McIlraith, and did not deny his iden- tity or resist arrest. He had disguised himself by shaving off his beard. A search of his person failed to reveal any of the stolen plunder. The ac- cused denied committing the deadly as- sault or the robbery, claiming that Brown, his former friend and benefacN tor, was nearly dead when he returned to the room after feeding their horses and he ran away for fear he would he accused of the crime.
 Irwin was traced by a clew given bv Foreman Robinson of the Morrow ranch, at whose house Irwin applied for a meal on Monday evening
 When confronted by his victim Irwin told Brown that he was innocent of the crime charged. when Brown said. Why, l saw you standing over ma with the pistol in your hand and saw you when you struck me the blow which knocked me senseless." The ac- cused said: You are mistaken. hut if you say so I suppose I am in for if "
 Only S1O was found upon Irwin. An other $10 he gave Big Jim' McIlraith to purchase goods for him. The rest of the money is supposed to be buried somewhere in the Mount Hamilton range of mountains.

IrALY'S ALhEGED PROTEST.
That Against Blockade of Cuba is De-
MED In Washington.

Washington, May 23.-The announce
ment, by way of Paris, that the Italian
government had protested against the
continuance of the blockade of the Gu
ban coast on the ground that it was
ineffective met a prompt denial at the
state department to-day, and it can be
stated definitely that neither in Wash
ington nor in Rome have any represent
ations on this subject been addressed
to the United States government.
Italy probably is the maritime power
of all others with which the United
States has had absolutely no correspon-
dence in the slightest degree connected
with the Cuban blockade. AS to the
allegation that the blockade is ineffec-
tive, it is said that, on the contrary, it
has been singularly successful and that
SO far as known not a single neutral
ship subject to detention has passed the
lines without the express consent of
our government.
The Montserat, it is true, did enter
Cienfugos harbor before our blockad-
ing ships had had time to get around
the south side of Cuba and establish
the blockade, and she did manage to
get out at night. But she is a Spanish
ship, and Spain is perhaps the only
nation in the world that has lost the
power to enter protest against a
blockade, being a combatant herself.
1t is only for neutral powers to enter
such protests, and none of them has
as yet the slightest pretext for such
action.

TRIP or THE MONTERREY.
Officials Perfectly Satisfied She Can
Safely Gross Pacific.

Officials Perfectly Sat1sned She Can
Safely Gross Pacific.
Washington, May 23.-Naval officials
have calculated to their entire salts
faction the possibility Of getting the
Monterey safely across the Pacific to
Admiral Dewey's squadron at Manila.
The principal difficulty in making such
a trip as this is the small coal capacity
of vessels Of the Monterey type. She
carries normally 200 tons of coal in her
bunkers, which at her most economical
rate Of steaming would take her about
800 miles less than the distance from
San Francisco to Honolulu. In an
emergency, such as now exists, 1T Is
possible to store a good deal of coal
on the main deck. Being placed in the
passage ways and open spaces Of the
superstructure of the vessel, the great
beam Of the Monterey would permit
100 tons of coal to be carried in addi-
ton to that in the bunkers without in
the least endangering the stability Of
the ship or risking the loss of coal by
being washed overheard.
AL neT eCOuOIlllCdl Speeu VI IJu hHOlS
per day this coal would last her seven
teen days and carry her 5000 knots.
Owing to the carefully laid plans Of
the navy department the Monterey,
now on her long cruise, will be obliged
to make a run of more than 2,100 knots
without an opportunity to coal. The
ship will take a southerly course after
leaving Honolulu, in company with a
steam collier. The Monterey will lose
several days in coal en- route, but on
the other hand she may make up this
difference by steaming at great speed
if circumstances favor the easy re-
coaling of the ship. The naval orders
issued this morning announced the as
signment to command the Monterey of
Captain Eugene HI. LeutZ, lately in
command of the Alert. The Spanish
squadron at Cadis, which reports from
Spain state are going to the Philip
pines, is capable Of higher speed than
the Monterey and she may not have
much difficulty in obtaining the neces-
sary coal to make the trip, so that even
though the distance be longer on the
eastward trip there are possibilities of
most interesting race by the hostile
naval ships.

States troops, held that the president
under the constitution, as the commander
in chief of the army and navy, had
right to exercise the belligerent right
of a conqueror and to impose duties on
imports as military contribution for
the support of the army. This was the
view held by the court in another case
where it was also decided that the cap
ture of Tampico, Mexico, by the United
States forces though sufficient to cause
it to be regarded by other nations as
part of our territory did not make it in
fact a part of the United States under
our constitution and laws. TT remain
ed,'' said the court, "a foreign port
within the revenue laws of the United
States"
The tariff rates pow being prepared
by the treasury department will close
ly follow the Spanish custom laws in
force in the Philippines, Just what
revenue they produced is not known,
but the assumption Is that inasmuch as
the home government realized from
them last year approximately $9,OO0,00o
the actual amount collected was $18,-
100000. The government will assume
control of the revenues as soon as the
principal seaports are in our possession
and will continue to control them at
least until congress takes special action
in the case or until peace has been de-
clared between the two countries.
