HE'LL UP A FRENCHMAN.
McCalla May Have Started an Inter.
national Incident.

Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
July IA French gunboat Of about
1000 tons displacement attempted to
come into the harbor about dusk to-
night without permission and met with
a surprise party. The cruiser Marble
head fired a blank shot as the gunboat
came into the entrance OF the harbOr,
but no attention was paid to this and
a shot from a six-pounder was sent
across her bows. This, too, was dis
regarded by the gunboat coming along
under full steam.
For a few minutes it looked as il a
row IA possible. The trumpets of the
Marblehead rang out a call to quarters
and another shot was sent across the
Frenchman's bows, this time in I'M
comfortable proximity. That warning
was sufficient, however, and the
Frenchman stopped with extreme sud-
denness.
1t is against naval custom for a war
vessel OF one nation to enter a port
which vessels of another nation are
blockading unless permission is grant
ed. The captain of the French gun
boat was either in ignorance Of the
American occupation or chose to dis
regard it until forcibly reminded Of the
fact by Commodore McCalla.
The gunboat was allowed to anchor
in the lower harbor for the night.

600 men. Major Hopkins, the military
aid to Secretary Alger, this afternoon
had spread before him a huge map OF
Cuba. showing the surrendered zone
turned over to The American troops.
The line begins at Acceraderos, about
fifteen miles west of Santiago harbor,
and then runs due north about twenty
five miles to Palmo Soriana. Had the
line continued due north it would have
passed west of Holguin, thus taking the
Spanish garrison at that point. Evil
IDENTIFY General Toral wished to avoid
the inclusion of IIolguin. so the line
turns abruptly to the northwest at Pal
mo and then runs to the coast town of
Del Casa. on the coast. The extreme
length of this surrendered tract is
about 10 miles. and the extreme width
is about 80 miles. 1t is a rugged, noun
famous country, with very few towns OF
any size. Santiago. with its fine har-
Dor. is the main point. while Guam
tanamo is second in Importance.
Mr.. II. ]. Allen Of Kansas City. who
has Just come from Santiago, was with
Secretary Alger during the afternoon.
and gave him some interesting details
as to the character of the country now
surrendered to our troops. He said
the country was so wild and rocky
that it accorded practically no camping
ground for a considerable number of
troops. and, in his opinion. there was
not a point in this sweep of country
army. Except the Spanish force at
Santiago. numbering about 10000 men,
Mr.. Allen says there are no Spanish
soldiers within the surrendered zone.
as it has been Overrun by General
Garcia's forces. The Spanish garrisons
are at Manzanillo and Holguin. to the |
west of the surrendered zone. Mr.. Al
len says these garrisons do not exceed
5000 men. This. he says, is General
Gracia's estimate. Mr.. Allen left San

Santiago in our hands the way will be

WATSON CAN STAY AT TANGIER.
Consuls May Protest But Will be I'm
able to Do Anything.

New York, July IA cable to the
Herald from Tangier says:
On one Of the quays at Gibraltar I
saw a number of large cases addressed
to Admiral Sampson at Tangier. I
have today paid visits to a number Of
ministers and consuls OF foreign pow
ers. They all state that no neutrality
has yet been declared. and that moth
Ing will be done before the return Of
the Spanish minister from Madrid.
II, however. the American feet ar
rives, the foreign representatives would
hold a conference, the result Of which
would be communicated to Commodore
Watson.
Reading between the lines, It is clear
that the consuls will do everything pos
sible to prevent the American feet
from remaining here. but 1t will be a
e platonic protest, for II Commo-
dore Watson insists on remaining. no
power or earth a dislodge him from
Tangier.

SHE HAS TOO MUCH.
Mrs. Stanford Voluntarily Gives Up
$500 Per Month.

San Francisco, July 1.-THE family
allowance OF Jane L. Stanford from the
estate OF her husband, Leland Stanford,
has been reduced by Judge Hunt from
$500 to 81 1000 a month. The reduce
ton was made at the request of the
widow. who is also executrix Of the es-
tate under the will. She made no ex-
PLANTATION OF her request beyond stat
ing that the smaller amount would be
a fair and sufficient allowance. Soon
after the death OF her husband, Mrs.
Stanford was granted $4,000 a month
allowance. which, at her own request,
in 1896, was cut down to $500. 1t is
understood that the distribution OF
property has rendered her financially
independent OF the late senator's estate.

Marriage Certificates.
Milwaukee, July 14.-Does a mar

II he gets married? This is a problem
that Is puzzling the revenue depart
ment and registrar Of vital statistics.
Revenue Collector Henry Fink holds
that dc does.
The clergymen who storm around the
registrars window hold that he does
not. The new law does not specifically
mention marriage certificates as being
taxable, but after enumerating the
documents and certificates that must
bear the revenue stamps, 1t states in
general terms that Certificates of n
other description required by law and
not otherwise specified in this act, shall
have afhxed therto a 1O-cent stamp"
Collector Fink says that there is no
doubt that this includes marriage GER
tifcates.
None Of the ministers or magistrates
In this city who have performed the
ceremony since July 1 have afixed
stamps to any Of the certificates which
they have issued. At least, none Of

progress which is being made in putt
ing in the waterworks that water will
be flowing through some of the mains

tractor Hancock is rushing the power
house and the anchor posts to the

in week or so. The pump and en-
CINE are already on the road to this
