FEELING FOR SPAIN
Prevents Austria from Raising Her
Mission to an Embassy.

New York, Jan ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Austria's hesitancy in raising the
rank of her diplomatic mission to the
United States is due entirely to her de-
sire not to give offence to Spain IN
formation to this effect, is in the pos
session of the state department.
Relations between Austria and Spain
are very close and it would not be sur
prising If the Madrid government had
intirnated to the Austrian government
that it should not be too hasty in giving
such public recognition, to the success
of the United States in the recent war.

PAUL NEUMANN HERE.
Did Not Plead the Cause Of ex-Queen
Liliuokalani at Washington.

Paul Neumann, who was Attorney Cen
eral of Hawaii under King Kalakaua, has
arrived from Washington, D. C.. and is

Mr. Neumann denies emphattcally that
he had anything to do with the presenta-
ton of the claims of Liliuokalani to the
United States Government.

admitted to practice before the Supreme
Court of the United States, as 1 wished

toner since 1864 in all the courts of Cali
fornia. AS far as the claims Of Liliuo-
kalani are concerned, l had nothing to
do with them whatever, as l do not con-
slider that she has any. She may have
a claim in equity, but it is shadowy.
When King Kamehameha III divided the
allodial lands between himself, the mobiles
and the people, he established use for
the reigning sovereign of the income of
the crown lands. If that use lapSed by
reason of the non-eXiStence of any one
who was included under its terms the
property devoted to that use would nat
urally revert to the lineal descendants Of

90S broadway, rep. II.
There is a clash between the Southern
Pacific. Company and the Board of Su-
pervisors over the proposed construction
of combination bridge TO span the Ala
media tidal canal at Fruitvale avenue.
The Board of Supervisors last week re-
ceived a letter from Major w. H. Heuer
advising them that he had received orders
from headquarters at Washington to pro-
coed with preliminary steps to begin OPP
erations on the proposed Government
bridges across the tidal canal at High
street and at Fruitvale avenue, the for
mer to be highway bridge, the other
railway and highway bridge combined.
The interested parties are Alameda
County, the city of Alameda and the
railroad, and on Saturday last the author
ities held a conference, Mr.. Curtis repre-
senting the railroad and announcing that
his superiors would most certainly be OPP
posed to a combination bridge. and that
the railroad wants a separate bridge.
The Southern Pacific Company's cross
ing is just west of FruitVale avenue ana
two bridges in that proximity would be
impracticable, since they would interfere
when swung open.
The Supervisors on the other hand ia
vor the plan proposed by the Government,
and at to-day's meeting reply, conform
ing with such favorable sentiment, was
ordered drawn and forwarded to Major
Heuer of the EnOineer Corps, u. s. A,
bination bridge at Fruitvale avenue and a
carriage or highway bridge at High street
would fulfill all requirements OF commerce
for many years to come. They propose,
too, with the consent of all parties inter
ested to abandon a portion of Washlng-
ton avenue which also crosses the canal
and to locate a connecting road upon the
north side of the canal parallel with 1t to
Fruitvale avenue, the Government TO pear
the expense of the grading etc, which
will not run over $1,000, in return for the
abandonment of the right to bridge at
Washington street.
In 1876 the United States brought suit
to condemn the right of way for the
tidal canal, and the final decree handed
down in October. 1884, provided that the
Government shall keep in repair suitable
bridges where streets cross from Alameda
10 North Side, and at that time the court
had notice that there existed four public
highways of the county, to wit; High
street, Washington avenue, FruitVa1e ave-
nue. and Park street. Since then steel
combination bridge has been constructed
at Park street at a cost of $4,000.

NEW HOME FOR
FABIOLA NURSES
MRS. REoUA, PRESIDENT OF THE
INSTITUTION.
Red Cross Convalescent Home Is Now
Part of the Big As
ISOLATION.
Oakland Office San Francisco Cali.


9OS Broadway, Feb. q.
Another institution has been added to
Fabiola, and to-day the Red Cross Sol
diers' Home became part of the respon-
sibility of the Fabiola Association.
The convaiescent home for the soldiers
is no longer needed and it has been de-
cided to turn it into training home and
general home for nurses. No such in
stitution exists in this county, and the
increasing work at Fabiola has made it
necessary that there shall be en- organ
ICED effort to train, educate and supply
homes for the many nurses needed in the
institution.
Mrs / L. Requa is the president Of the
Nurses Institute, and is now busily en-
gagged experimenting the furnishing of
the building. During the life of the con-
valescent home as a Red Cross fnstitu-
ton it did noble work, but now that there
is no further call for it's services 1t is
to be retained in the cause of charity.
There are scores of nurses at Fabiola
who are deprived of many comforts Of
home life which are rightfully theirs, but
which cannot be granted them in the hos
pital. There is no place for them to take
q vacation should they desire it, or should
they become sick, which is frequently
the case, and the ladies have decided
that q home for such a purpose will ma
terially aid the work of the hospital and
enable nurses to be better educated in
their profession.
Mrs ReQua will have the new home in
readiness for it's work in few days, and
Fabiola will have reached one step nearer
