HER JEWELRY GONE.
Nine. Beatham's Rooms Visited by
a Thief.


The reception room OF Mrne. Beatham's 8
dress making parlors, COS and Goa in the
Lederer building. 180 Mathewson street. were
entered one day last week by some person
using a false key. and between 5000 and 500
worth Of jewels taken. Nine. Beatham says
the last she saw OF her jewels was Wednes-
day of the past week. and then her attention
was drawn to them by the remaTk OF lady
customer On Friday morning Nine. Bcatham
left the room at an early hour. and when she
returned later found the door unlocked, and
Mt first supposed that one OF her assistants
had stepped from the work room across the
corridor into the front parlor for some trim
mings. She thought no more of the incident
any more than sho was quite positive that
she had locked the door when sho went out.
This morning she went TO n dressing table
for an article and then missed her jewel
basket. She made thorough search. think
ing that perhaps she might have misiaid the
valunbles. but her suspicious were aroused
when she found that tortoise shell comb,
valued at ;20 had been stolen from a drawer
in the lower part OF wardrobe. She at once
notified the relice. and Detective Nickerson
called upon her.
He learned mat several OF the boys who are
employed about the building have keys with
which they can enter nearly everv room.
AS one young man severed his connection
with the building the latter part of last week
the detectives think that possibly the thief
can be located. Nine Beatham admits that
her loss is wholly due 10 her own careless
ness in allowing such valuables to lie about
in so conspicuous way.

THE EFFECT OF BLANcO'S ORDER

Key West. May 23.--Ernest Castro, a
well-known lawyer and president of the
revolutionary junta OF Cardenas. ar
rived here Sunday on the Annapolis.
During the recent bembardment at Car

after passing four days In the Piedras
key. signalled the United States gunboat
Wilmington and succeeded In making
his escape. He says that the insurgents
are in dire distress. Formerly provisions
were smuggled from the cities, but that
relief is now impossible, since the cities
themselves are starving. The insurgents
are trying to subsist on peppery wood
and palm buds. Castro tasted meat yes
terday for the first time In five weeks.
The Spanish gunboats that lured the
Winslow into the death trap were the
Antonio Lopez. Lealtad and Ligera.
During the fight the two former retreat
ed behind the wharves and the Ligera
behind the key. 1t was the Lopez that
opened fire on the Winslow and decoyed
her into the channel. The Spanish
troops formed on the public square, not
daring to go to the wharves. All the
Spanish flags were lowered, as they fur
nished targets, and the families all Ned
to Jovellanos. Castro says an American
shell exploded In the very entrance to
the Spanish casino. shattering the build
ing and setting IL on fire. The casino,
which had been used as a military head
quarters and infantry barracks and
which was the largest structure in the
town. was utterly destroyed. Other
buildings were wrecked Some Of the
shots went two miles into the interior.
Gustave Aranguron, q brother Of the
late insurgent general. Nestor Aran-
guron. has received letters from Havana
via Vera Cruz, dated May I. stating that
General Blanco's order impressing all
cubans into the Spanish army has had
the effect OF driving many into the in
surgent ranks. A. Betancourt, an
American citizen, and Gonzales Arrange

of whom are SpSniards. refuse abso-
lutely to sell food to the Cubans, as II
determined to starve them. The Cuhans
say the Spaniards hate them more than
they do the Americans. Arangurons
correspondents declare that the Span
iards realize that Cuba Is lost, but that
before yielding the island they will en-
deavor to exterminate the Cubans.

The Williams Family Lays
Claim to II.
GROUND IS ILLEGITIMACY.
Clney's Heirs Contend That He Was
q Legitimate Child.
FAMILY HISTORY IN COURT,

There were IonR arguments made on
long briefs In the Appellate Court this
morning in the case of aeorgeW. Williams
OF alA va William II. Herriok. sdminis-
traitor. ON the estate of Amos w. Olney.
The case has besn In court about 12 years
and tho est ate OF the late Mr.. Olney is
worth 1T present about sT5 COO. The de-
ceased was the son OF Moses Olney and
Marths Williams and the chief point
about the case is whether the marriage Of
his father and mother on the formers
death bed was the only marriage existing
between his parents.
The complainants claim that it was,
and that the Olney family is not entitled
TO aany part OF the estate. There are four
branches Of the Williams family nd their
version OF the parentsge OF Moses 10
that Gideon Olnev, his father, objected TO
his marriage with Martha willlnms who
was domestic servant In 0idson's home,
one reason for the objection being that
Moses and Martha ware cousins. Gideon
himself hoo married his cousin.
According to further information FUR
nished By tho Williams folks. Martha
went to live with Mosss after his fathers
dsath, and that Amos was one Of the
nees Of Moses Justice of che peace was
called In and tho children Joined hand
after the marriage ceremony and were
acknowledged ~ legitimate by their pa
rents. IL being suppoaed BY all concerned
that this placed them In tho same rela-
tion 70 the law ~ if their parents had
been married before the birth Of the chill
oren.
The Olnsy heirs claim that Amos Olney
was loaitimate child and call ntten tion
TO the fact chat no attempt 10 made to
state when tho alleged Illicit relations
between Moses Olney and Martha Will
lians began.
A. 4. BAssr and W. II Barney repre-
sent the Williams heirs, Walter Il. Angel
and Lewis A. Waterman the Olney neirs,
and James and w. h Tillinghast the al

NEW TRIAL DENIED.
S. Augustus Goodsp:ed Loses in the
HOd9eS Case.

The dscision OF the Appellate Court was
handed down today In the case Of Raymond
y. Hodges OF al. va 3. Augustus Goodspeed.
The sction was one Of trespass quare clausam
and the defendant pleaded. first, tho general
jssus. and, second, special ples setting up
right Of way by prescription over the plain
tiff's close a. appurtsnant to.his own land
The plaintiffs joinsd.inue on the FIRST plea
and trsversed the second. upon which the
defendant Joined Issue. The jury in the
Common Pleas Division returned . verdict
kor the plaintif on both issues.
The court denies the defendants petition
for now trial ~ the record shows that both
NE plaintiffs and the defendant derive title
70 their respective lands by mssne convey
Snces from Oceans Proctor who conveyed the
laintifs' LOT By deed containing q covenant
u general warranty In 1871 to the plaintiffs
ancestor In title and subsequently In 1883 be-
came the owner OF the defendants lot, and
In 1857 conveyed IL TO the defendants ances-
tor In title. The covenant Of warranty in
her deed TO the plaintiffs ancestor In title
estopped her from claiming or exercising any
right Of way over tho plaintiffs land when
shs became the owner OF the defendants lot,
and equally stops the defendant who claims
under hsr from asserting such right Of way.
