FAIR WITNESS SPIRITED AWAY Sensation in a Lawsuit Involving Land at
 Everett. Miss Maggie Black Has Dis appeared and Cannot
 Be Found. AS the County Auditors As istan She Could Give Startlinq
 Testimony.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SNOHOMISH, Wash, Feb. 13.-A sen- sation has developed as a feature of the big Hart Fucker lawsuit which has perior Court at Seattle. It is nothing less than the mysterious disappearance of Miss Maggie Black Miss Black has been the County Auditors assistant since 1890, when the city of Everett was booming over the location there of pa- per mills, foundry. nail works and barge works.
 In that year occurred the appraise- ment and sale of school section on the outskirts of Everett. The purchaser was Wyatt J. Rucker, an Everett bank CT, who supposed he was representing James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway, which was Just building into the town. Hill failed to furnish the money for the property, and in consequence John F. Hart's claim of s40,0O0, the assessed valuation of a saw mill he had built on the section, was never paid. Hart sued Rucker, and the case now, including casts, involves some $60,OO0.
 Miss Black, having been in the Aud itor's office during the whole time, is said to be in possession of knowledge which, if promulgated before the court would convict some one of tampering with the records relating to this land. Accordingly, it is said, this guilty per- son has had Miss Black sent on a se- cret mission to some distant State, or probably to Canada. At any rate, Miss Black has not been seen about Snohom- ish since about Christmas time. Aud itor Headlee does not know where she is. and her friends either do not know or refuse to tell
 The attorneys for Hart say that Fucker was instrumental in spiriting Miss Black away. The attorneys for Rucker make a like charge against Hart. Probably when the case is tried at Seattle some sensational charges will be made. The case has been to the Su- preme Court five times during the last six years on minor points, and Is now to be tried on it's merits.

 It is sgd General Sanguilly is the real commander, and color is given this ru- nor by the fact that when the men left here they were in charge of Colonel Le- chuga, who was first lieutenant of the personal staff selected by Sanguilly when he failed to get away from Jacksonville Superintendent Gaylor his son, and an- other Pinkerton man have been here look ing for Sanguilly, they believing he was somewhere near here.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: There is a general impression among Pan American diplomats here that Costa Rica and Nicaragua are very near war. Both Governments have assumed belligerent attitudes according to in formation which has reached Washing ton, and 1t is the expectation of Central Americans in this city that President Zelaya will demand a disavowal of Costa Rica's responsibility in connec- tion with the revolution in San Juan del Sur.
 Whether the President of Costa Rica will comply with President Zelaya' s demand and whether Nicaragua will have the support of Salvador and Hon. duras in case of war are questions which Pan-Americans are asking each other. Those in touch with the Costa Rica legation in this city express the opinion that that Government will not comply with the prospective demand of Nicaragua's President, and in this event war is likely to follow
 There is some question as to wheth- CT Nicaragua will have the support of Honduras and Salvador in the event of war with Costa Rica. These three countries form the greater republic of Central America. Pan-Americans here say that Salvador may not feel jus tufed in embarking in war. Besides President Gutierrez of Salvador is not friendly toward President Zelaya, and he might exert his influence with Hon. duras to prevent her from lending as- sistance to Zelaya.
 It is understood here that the forces of Costa Rica are stationed on the frontier ready to spring into Nicara- guan soil at moments notice.

NEW YORK, Feb. H.-A dispatch to the World from Madrid says: A formal statement of regret and censure of Dupuy de Lome's conduct, coupled with an expression of sincere desire that the Canalejas letter incident shall not impair the present friendly relations between the governments of Spain and the United States, or interrupt the negotiations for a commercial treaty, will bd made by For eign. Minister Gullon immediately follow ing the gazetting of the royal decree ac- cepting Senor de Lome's resignation and appointing his successor as Spain's rep resentative at Washington.
 On the other hand the Washington cor respondent of the World says that Spain has not disavowed responsibility for the utterances of Senor de Lome and does not consider that any disclaimer of that character is necessary. From Spain 8 point of view the incident is closed, not only as to De Lome's reflections upon the President and the American people, but as to his declaration that autonomy Is a mockery and fraud.
 Such is the unsatisfactory information contained in the long-expected statement from Mr. Woodford received late last night.

 PARIS, Feb. 13.-"What will be the upshot of the whole business?" Is a question that may be asked with some profit at this juncture of the Zola trlai. The gravest anxiety obtains ana the Gaulois goes so far as to complain ed- itorially that anarchy prevails in the army and law in the street" and calls upon Felix Faure to exercise his con- stitutional power and put a stop to this state of things.
 The following views of well-known Parisian journalists experienced in reading the signs of the times will be read with interest:
 Gaston Calmette of the Figaro said: "A fault has been committed, fault which should be attributed to the course of affairs rather than to the men who have brought about this campaign of revision. The proper position to take is a strictly legal one, and to ask but one question in parliament, which communicated against Dreyfus with out his knowledge, to the court martial. If he has been convicted in connection with document which he knows nothing about, and of which his counsel knew nothing, then the law no matter what was the fault of Dreyfus, has been violated, and the matter should be revised. The whole question is wrapped up in that. Every one could associate himself with this campaign so far as justice is concern ed. but no one could do so properly be- fore the revision takes place, nor with certainty have set in motion the Ques- tion of the innocence of Dreyfus. If the matter had been viewed in this light, France would have avoided one of the most terrible crises she has un- dergone since 1870. I speak of the re- public, and this is the first danger to the republic which can involve such incalculable consequences. refer to the danger of antagonism now spring ing into existence between the Judicial system and the army, between the gown and the sword. the antagonism
 
 army staff"
 Henri Rochefort says: "Zola will be convicted. There is so great a pressure of public opinion acting on the jury that one cannot expect anything but conviction. On the other hand, Zola does not seem to be we'll defended, and his counsel seems to be dragging the affair out as long as possible. don't think Zola will go to prison, nor do I think he will be obliged to pay a fine. After the trial is over it's conclusions will be considered by the court of cas- sation; but suppose Zola is acquitted, he will not be able to show himself in public in Paris, or, for that matter, anywhere in France without personal danger to himself. He could not very we'll live in Paris with body guard continually about him."
 M. Judel of the Petit Journal said: 'I consider the present situation grave, and this gravity is owing to the weak ness of the Government"
