Cogan's Will to Probate.
HE PLEADED NOT GUILTY
Joseph Heslop Arraigned to Plead to an
Information Charging Him With
Assault in the First De-
gree-Other Cases.

In the district court yesterday there
was a short session. during which Judge
Brantly disposed of a few cases.
In the case of John Crotty VS.. Mrs.
Fred Lemieux. motion to dismiss the
appeal was set for hearing Sept. 3 at
1890 p. m.
Joseph Heslop was before the court 10
plead TO a charge of assault in the first
degree on an information filed yesterday
by Assistant County Attorney Self. The
defendant pleaded not guilty, and his
trial was set for Oct. 6 at 10 a. m. He
waived the reading of the information.
Heslop is the man who Is charged with
stabbing Ed Burns at the smelling
works a mont or two ago., and whose
preliminary Examination was had be-
fore Judge Fitzgerald a couple of
weeks ago. at which time he was bound
over in the sum of 81, 500.
In the district court yesterday Judge
Brantly refused to receive for probate
the nuncupative will of James Cogan.
holding that the deceased had had sufi-
cient time before his death to prepare
a will in the usual form. The question
arose on a petition filed by Anna
O'Brien. the e~xecutrix named by logan.
The petition relates hat Cogan was
sick at ST. AIMS hospital. and tina on
july 20 he was seized with sudden
pains, from which he shortly afterwards
died. Before his death. so the petition
states, Cogan. in the presence of John
t. Casey and Sister Generosa, stated
that he feared death would come to him
soon and that he wished disposition
made of his property in a certain way,
which instructions are set forth i'm full
in the viii. Nogan asked the two per-
sons present to bear witness to his re-
quest. The estate is valued at about
81, 100. Cogan leaves two brothers, John
and Edward, both residing in Ireland.
After hearing the argument in favor
of granting the prayer of the petitioner
the court ruled the will could not be
probated as stated above.

THROWN FROM A BUGGY.
Roy Logan Comes Very Near Being seri-
ously Hurt.

Ousiy Hurt.
Roy Logan. a boy IL or IS years old,
came very near to being seriously in
jured yesterday afternoon. Logan and
another young lad were driving east on
Commercial avenue in a buggy. When
they reached the corner OF Commercial
avenue and Oak street, the horse at
tached to he rig, suddenly turned
into Oak street. Logan was
sitting on the right hand side of the
buggy and the sudden swerving caus-
ed him to fall out of the vehicle to the
ground. The wheels of the buggy pass
ed within six inches of the boys legs,
and had they run over him., his limbs
would surely have been broken. Logan
fell on his forehead upon the hard sur
face of the street and sustained a
slightly bruised temple. Otherwise he
is unhurt. He was very much dazed
after getting up, but in a m or
two he walked away as though nothing
had happened. The horse ran but a
short distance down Oak street when
he came to a stop.

WAR EXIGENCIES
May Yet Require the Seizure OF
Hawaii

HONOLULU, April 49, via San Francisco,
April 26.-The Hawaiian Star has this TO
say regarding the f1ag-raising story:
while the rumored seizure of these is
lands by the United States as a coaling
station, which was referred to In the Star,
believe that 1t will take place, and that at
no distant date. 1t was expected that those
high in authority would scout the idea for
1t is not usual to confess to such state Sc
crets, but because the flag has not been
raised today does not signify anything.
There may be something significant
however, in the fact that an officer of the
United States ship Bennington went
through the city a few days ago and tried
to buy a number of American flags. He
succeeded in getting one large one from a
dealer and said he would take half dozen
or more if he could get them. When told
that an order could be quickly filled at San
Francisco he replied that he must have the
flags at once, and could not wait for a
steamer. Small flags were not wanted.
'It is accepted as certainty that the
islands will be seized as soon as war is de-
cared."
The rumor that British Consul Kenny
has requested the Hawaiian government
to declare neutrality at once has been dis
posed of by Minister Cooper, who states
that Mr.. Kenny has made no such request
The herald., 1898-04-27

the government does not succeed In
promptly overcoming the United States.
Matters are critical politically-and even
worse financially. Both aspects of the
situation are being employed by the Span
ish diplomats and court to impress Euro
pean courts and governments with the urg-
ent necessity of action to save Spain from
both the foreigner and herself.
| The Cabinet, which has rendered its res
ignation to the Queen Regent, declines to
take up the responsibilities of office again
without promise of the support necessary
to enable it to carry on war which all
foresee can hardly end favorably for
spain.
1t seeks thus to impose on the opposition
party patriotic obligation and bridge over
the ministerial crisis.
If the Liberal ministry should be retain
ed in the main, but be obliged to sacrifice
Colonial Minister Moret and the other sup
rorters of the policy of colonial home rule,
the government would be seriously compro-
missed in the eyes of Europe in a way that
would benefit the United States. Sagasta
hopes to be able to induce the Cortes to
vote unlimited appropriations for the war
and adjourn quickly, thus avoiding debates
No News Given Out
MADRID, April 26, II a.m.-The general
public here is in complete ignorance re-
garding the Spanish war movements. The
newspapers make no mention of them,
while fully recording the tactics of the
United States fleet
Judging from the available advices
Spain appears to have the tactics of the
badger.
1t is generally believed that the Spanish
fleet, unless compelled to fight, will avoid
engagements and the fastest ships will
be employed to destroy the commerce of
the United States. The newspapers today
reflect general satisfaction at the unani-
nifty of the support given the government
in the Cortes yesterday. bill to indem-
nifty the government for granting auton-
omy to Cuba, which was not authorized
by the Cortes. is expected to pass by ac-
clamation today unless the Robledoists,
who are hostile to autonomy, oppose the
measure.
APolicy of Duplicity
MADRID, April 26.-In the Spanish Sen
ate yesterday Count Almenas asked wheth-
er the government adhered strictly to the
treaty of Paris in regard to the privateers
or whether 1t would issue letters of marque
to any one asking for such authority. The
Premier. Senior Sagasta, said the mo-
ment was inopportune to reply to the ques-
ton.
On Count Almenas' insistence on an an
swer to the question, the Minister for For
eign Affairs, Senor Gullon. said Spain oc-
cupied the same position she held before
the treaty of Paris.
At the close of Senior Sagastas speech IN
the Senate yesterday the President of the
Senate said amid great applause, that the
Spanish Senate had replied to "the insults
Of the American Senate with the most pro-
found scorn."
