French Hostility TO America
Washington, D. c., May 25.-The
provision in the sundry civil bill for
representation at the Paris Exposition
las not yet been taketn up by the
Conference Committee. The members
appreciate that they are acting largely
in a diplomatic capacity and according
ly are impressed with the necessity of
proceeding with caution The fact has
developed that there is an element OPP
posed to making any appropriation be-
cause of the Partially of France to-
wards Spain.
The prevailing opinion in committee
seems to be that the wise policy is to
proceed just as if there were no war.
Ii subsequent developments should
prove it the President can be trusted to
&c, in accordance with the best in
teIests of the country.

Done, If 1t Has Entered Santiago.
Key West, Fla, May %, II a. NJ
There is nothing definitely known here
but the view is accepted that the Span
lsh fleet is blockaded in Santiago har-
Dor and has thus committed suicide"
Commodore Schley and Rear Admiral
Sampson are believed to have Admiral
CerYera in reach, and if the Spaniards
are in Santiago harbor they can be
Dloekaded and starved out. A single
heavy American vessel can hold the
harbor's narrow exit. The Spanish
leei is fast but not heavily armored.
ANY Of Admiral SIMPSONS battleships
could engage the entire fleet with fair
chance of victory. The American COM
mander has not only ships for battle,
t0it for the chase as well. There is full
confidence in the skill and energy OF
nom the American commanders and
inelr triumph in West Indian waters
Is assured.

CLAIMS PRIOR RIGHT AS WIFE.
Indian Woman Disturbs the Peace of
Millionaire Mine Owner
Hife

San Francisco, jan 1.-THE ghost of an
old romance has risen to disturb the peace
and the household of wealthy, eccentric
John R. Hite. The ghost calls itself Mrs.
Lucy Hite. 1t disputes the title of Mrs.
Cecilia Hite, who has been a bride since
last October. 1t wants a divorce and a d.
vision of the Hite fortune, but it would
be satisfied with $20O.0 600 in cash and the
title of the famous Hite mine.
This specter. in short, is an Indian wom-
an who claims to have become Mr.. Hite's
wife about 1865. and who has sued him for
a divorce in the superior court of MARI
posa county.
Mr.. Hite is widely known In California,
both for his wealth and his eccentricity.
The story of his early days in California,
as his enemies tell 1t, runs that when he
began his search for gold in 1861, his outfit
included a mule and an Indian woman,
well known to the camps of Mariposa.
Some two years later the woman died and
was replaced by her sister, who. according
to the fashion of the time and the country,
was known thenceforth-so at least she
asserts-as Lucy Hite. Before that she had
been just Lucy" When they parted, 1t is
declared. Mr.. Hite bought her a ranch and
in his liberality made her the richest wom-
an of her tribe.
The Indian Mrs. Hite is now in Mariposa
county. where she will prosecute her claims
vigorously. AS long as Mr.. Hite remained
unmarried she was satisfied to let him
alone. but as soon as she heard he had es-
poused his one-time nurse, she came to the
city to see him,
