Denied That Any Agreement Was Made
to share the Davis Estate.

The joint and several answers of John
r. Davis as administrators of John A.
Davis, deceased, and of John r. Davis
and Andrew j. Davis. jr., to the suit
brought by Erwin Davis in the United
States circuit court were filed yesterday.
Erwin Davis is a brother of the late A.
]. Davis and claims half of the John f..
Davis estate by virtue OF an alleged
agreement made between John A. and
Erwin Davis by which the latter was
to fight the case and in return was to
receive one-half of all John A. Davis
should get out Of the estate.
In their answer the defendants deny
that in May, 1890, or at any other time,
the complainant and John A. Davis
made the agreement alleged; and mai II
such agreement were made no consid-
GRAFTON whatever was ever paid or de
livered or performed to said JOIN A.
Davis therefor. The defendants were
informed about May. 1890. that John A.
and Erwin Davis and some others Of
their brothers and sisters had entered
into or were about TO enter into a con-
tract touching their claim rights and
interests in and to the estate, but that
neither of these defendants We're ever
at any time prior to the commencement
of this action I'm January, 1897, informed
of the alleged conditions and they be-
lieve that said agreement was wholly

he failed and neglected to fulfill every
promise. stipulation and condition there
of by him TO be performed in favor of
said John A. Davis; the complainant did
not, prior to January, 1897, notify the
defendants of the fact that complainant
claimed there was existing any such
contract between himself and John A.
Davis. The complainant not only failed
and neglected to prosecute at his own
expense any action whatever necessary
TO establish the rights and claims Of
John A. Davis To the estate, but he, in
cooperation with others, to-wit: CAL

beth s. Bowd )in, OF posed the validity OF
the will and the distribution hereunder.
This was In opposition TO the rights
and interests OF John A. Davis. There
were various contests brought by Henry
A. Root, Sarah NJ. Cummings, Harriet
X. Sheffield and Henry A. Davis,
which were pending and prosecuted
from 1890 to about March %, 1895, and
the complainant neglected and failed to
defend or aid the defense in the main-
tenance or establishment OF the will.
while John A. Davis, during his lifetime,
paid out 1892, 900 for which he became
and was indebted and liable at the time
of his decease and which obligations
have since been presented to the ad-
ministrator and ordered paid out of the
assets of the estate of John A. Davis,
deceased. The defendants deny that
there vas any wrongful or corrupt or
fraudulent arrangement or conspiracy
in the settlement of the Davis estate.

r. F. Turner, ex-pollce magistrate re-
ported to the county attorney a case OF
iendish and unheard-of cruelty to a

THE COAST PATROL.

Excellent System of Coast Signal
ing Perfected by Capt. BARTLETT.
Washington, May 25.-Under the n
ergetic management of Capt. Bartlett,
who was recalled from the retired list
into active service of the navy depart
ment for the purpose, there has just
been perfected a most admirable and
thorough system of coast signaling for
war purposes. The navy department
itself established thirty stations on the
coast manned by naval militiamen.
Then it called into service 1000 light
house employees and 1000 ~lifesaving
men, making a total force of over 5000
men who patrol the great shore line
from Bar Harbor to Galveston night
and day and in all weathers, watching
for the approach Of an enemy or for
q signal from any passing United
States warship. 1t has been arranged
that all of these watchers can COM
municate in the course of a few min
utes with a telegraph or telephone line,
and all. center in the office of Capt.
Bartlett in the navy department, who
is thus prepared to give the war board
instant notice of any significant ship
movements on the coast.

Washington, May 25.-Notwithstand-
ing the persistent rumors in circula.
ton to the effect that a great naval
engagement had been fought In the
Windward passage, resulting IN the de-
struction of the Spanish feet, 1t can
be stated positively that the navy de-
partment has no information that TENDS
in the slightest to confirm these ru-
mors. Unless the improbable happens,
there is no immediate prospect OF a
naval engagement of any magnitude
in the opinion of the navy department
officials.
The unanimity with which the best
informed experts express this view al
most warrants the conclusion that 1t
is based upon knowledge that the hos.
tile fleets are again far apart. Indeed
there is no certainly that Admiral
Cervera is not already bound home
ward, provided, he has succeeded IN
securing a supply of coal, for he could
not make the run back to the Canarles
with less than about $500 or 5000 tons.

Key West, May 25.-The Cuban Of
ficers are greatly nettled by the criti-
cisms Of the United States army Of
fcers, who say the Cubans are unable
to make an offensive campaign. They
declare that the Cuban army is about
to distinguish itself by brilliant opera
tons.
United States army and navy officers
have q poor opinion of the Cuban
forces. The rank and file are brave
and willing enough. it is conceded, and
they are believed to be without any
thing like real military training. Some
of the New York newspapers received
here refer to the forts at San Juan as
using smokeless powder in answering
the fire from Admiral SIMPSONS
squadron, but this is an error. Nor is
there, probably, any foundation for the
Madrid statement that the crew OF the
French cruiser Admiral Regault de
Genouilly cheered the Spanish forces
at San Juan. After the bombardment
Admiral SIMPSONS squadron hauled
away. The S%paniards undoubtedly be-
lieved the attack would be renewed
The French cruiser took advantage OF
the cessation Of firing to rush out OF
the harbor, and it seemed to those on

Thomas received %preposterous reports
from the captain general at Puerto
Rico. among them statements that the
bombardment lasted until IL o'clock,
that the Iowa was badly disabled, so
much so that her bow sunk deep in the
water. and that the commander OF the
French cruiser sent a fiery message to
Paris. denouncing the b%ombardment as
brutal and a violation Of the rules Of

of the Dauntless if there were any

There died lately in a Tennessee in
sane asylum a young woman who. five
years ago., in q At Of jealousy, killed
her most intimate girl-friend because
the latter had chosen to enlarge the
circle of her companions. Alice Mitch
ell is a fatal type Of an i%nfatuation
common among school and college
girls, which, while seldom accompan-
led by such tragic results. yet causes
untold headaches and heartburnings.
Flowers and candy, calls and drives,
notes and poetry, loss Of appetite and
failure in lessons : outward signs
Of affections unwholesome in their
s%elfshness and intensity. It has been
said that the lifelong friendships FORM
ed there constitute the principal charm
Of college life, and this is true; but
young people and their parents and
teachers should discourage all such alb
sorbtng attachments as wrecked the
lives Of Alice Mitchell and her young
victim. !.
