FAKE WILL OF FAIR
FRISCO DOCUMENT THOUGHT TO
 BE SPURIOUS.
Mysteries of Document Increased by Introduction of Putative Heir, Whose Mothers Identity is Not Disclosed.

San Francisco, Aug. 31.-What purports to be the last will and testament or Charles Fair has made its way through the United States mail in a mysterious manner to the chambers of Superior Judge F. J. Murasky and the document It now in the custody of the county clerk.
 The will Is dated San Francisco. April IS. 1901 and Is witnessed by the late l. w.. Lees and w. H. l.. Barnes.
 In this alleged will Fair mentions hls son Charles J,'' and to him he be- queaths the sum of SSOO.0O0. In addition to this bequest the sum of $750,00O Is be- queathed to "the Roman Catholic Orphan asylum; $500,O0O to Joseph Harvey, and $50000 to the city of San Francisco for the purpose of founding hospital"
 The, rest of the testator's estate is given to his wife, who is also named as execu- trix. It will be remembered that about eleven months ago an heir, Charlie Fair, was brought forward in this city, although he never apeared in person, and the matter was dropped without any in- vestigation. Whether any one will come forward and petition the court to probate the alleged will is a matter of conjecture.
 The mysteries of this purported will are increased by the introduction of putative hair in the person of Charles l.. Fair. Jr. This heir was hinted at some months ago by Attorney William Cannon who stood sponsor for him. as entitled to a share of the estate of the millionaire. That child. however. was never produced in the flesh and the att tornev never disclosed the identity of the mother.
 Attorney Cannon said of the alleged will: q believe it Is a fake and I will ask that it be admitted for probate. As e. ~f nrIa No4- concerned. have nothing further to say at this time"
 Attorneys and others interested in the estate of the late Charles l.. Fair regard it as a hoax sent by some dull-witted joker

WAR SURE 10 BE OUTCOME Turks and BulgarianS
 Will Fight. REBELS CROSS FRONTIER Sultan's Troops Committing
 Horrible Atrocities. Villagers Robbed and Beatsn wss men Violated and the christian Populatie1 | Subjected to Every
 Conceivable Outrage.
REBELS CROSS FRONTIER

Sofia. Aug. 3i.-Both in official and rev- olutionary circles the opinion Is freely held that war between Bulgaria and Tur~ key Is imminent and can be averted by nothing short of a miracle.
 It is not expected that either govern ment will formally declare hostilities. but that the prevailing conditions will forcs on war.
 There Is no question that large number of insurgents have recently crossed thx frontier. An extensive outbreak in North< ern Macedonia is possible any day.
 The Autonomie prints telegram from Constantinople. declaring that the Sultan. influenced by the counsel of Gernany. now favors a war with Bulgaria. The Turks here, however. take an optimistic view. asserting that there is no danger of war. as Turkey does not desire one. and Prince Ferdinand and the present. Bulgarian government are not in pozf- tion to force hostilfties.
 The Bulgarian agent at Uskub reports that the detachments of Turkish troops sent to garrison the small towns in that villayet have spread destruction alon8 their routes; the villagers have been rob- bed and beaten, the women violated and the Christian population subjected te every conceivable outrage. while the local authorities appear to be helpless to stop the atrocities. At the village of Drache- vo. near UsSub. the soldiers attacked all the peasants without t..e gendarmes in- terfering on behalf of the latter. The Bull garian agents prophecy similar excesscs in many other villages and the position of the Bulgarian residents Is reported to be terrible as the cruelties committed by the Turkish authorities exceed all limits.
 Up to o'clock this evening Prince Fers dinand had not arrived in Sofia and the court officials declare that are without in- formation as to his movements.

EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH
 GREETS FELLOW SOVEREIGN.
The Emperor Appointed a Field Marshal in the English Army,
 Which Creates a Pro-
 found Impression.

Vienna. Aug. a.-King Edward arrived here today from Marienbad and he was accorded an enthusiastic reception. The city was elaborately decorated and along the route from the railroad station to the Hofburg triumphal arches displaying the Austrian and British flags entwined were erected.
 Emperor Francis Joseph. wearing the uniform of the British Dragoon Guards and accompanied by several archdukes and other notables. received King Ed ward at the station. The King wore the uniform of a colonel of Austrian Hussars. After the presentation of the archdukes and others. the two sovereigns drove to the Hofburg in a landeau drawn by six horses, immense crowds lining the streets At the Hofburg the King was received oy the archduchess. Foreign Minister Co., iuschowski the Austrian and the Hun garian premiers and the court and state olgnitaries. Thereafter the King retired 10 ms apartments where he was officially visited by the Emperor.
 A state dinner in honor of King Ed ward was given at the Hofburg tonight. The omoahy present included the Elm peror' all the archdukes and archduch- esses, the ministers. diplomats and the general staff of the army.
 Emperor Francis Joseph toasted King Edward In a speech in the course of which he hailed the latter's visit as a fresh pledge for the maintenance of the close confidential relations which have SO long existed between the two families and countries and which were all the firmer because there was no political interest or point of antagonism likely to cast the shadow of cloud between them. The King in response expressed his thanks for the friendly sentiments expressed to- wards him and the cordial reception he had met with. which he said had deeply touched him. He assured the Emperor of the continuous feeling of friendship which he had inherited from Queen Victoria and concluded by appointing Emperor Francis Joseph a Field Marshal in the army.
 The announcement created a deep im- nreSsiOn.

METHODS OF CASTRO.
Harsh Injustice Being Meted Out to
 Foreigners.

Wiilemstad, Curacoa. Aug. H.-Harsh injustice Is being meted out to foreign CTS residing in the interior of Venezuela where local authorities are hunting down all foreigners who dare to present claims against Venezuela in accordance with the recent protocol.
 Near Coro a local tribunal refused to accept the testimony of five Italians. On the latter insisting on rendering their de- position. three were arrested and thrown into jail. Two of them attempted to es- cape and were fired upon, enc being killed.
 The Venezuelan Government does not deny this occurrence, but is doing nothing to prevent repetitions. It is learned on good authority that letters sent to for- eigners from the Italian and other lega- tions lnstructing them to send in their claims were seized in the post so as to prevent the claims from. arriving in Car acas in due time.
 Cry Death to Foreigners.'
 Cuu1ena. Ven. Aug. a.--A gibbet was erected In a street of this city yester- day on which was hanged an effigy rep resenting a foreigner, and the populace beat the dummy with sticks anid shouts of Death to the foreigners"

Ger man, were recently arrested m Cfuda0, Bolivar. by order of President Castro, for refusing to pay their taxes. which had already been collected by the revolution lsts during the latters ocupation of the city, Many other persons were also ar- rested on the same charge. The French and German ministers at Caracas pro- tested and obtained the immediate release of their fellow countrymen.
 General Rolando and 200 rebel officers. who were captured at Ciudad Bolivar have arrived at Maracaibo. They were incarcerated in the fortress of San Car los with their feet in irons.

AMERICA IS FIRM.
warships Will Go to Beirnt as First
 Ordered.

Washington, Aug. 3i.-Chekib Bey. the Turkish Ministers had long interview today with Secretary Hay. He refused to discuss the interview, stating that he had nothing to communicate further thau what appeared in the associated Press dispatches yesterday morning. After the interview Secretary Hay visited the Navy Department.
 If the Turkish Minister requested that the United States European squadron be kept away from Turkish waters. his request, probably. cannot be granted. even should this Government desire to accede to 1t. as the Navy Departments states that it will be impossible to com municate with either the Brooklyn or San Francisco until they arrive at Beirut.
 Chekib Bey assured Secretary Hay that the Turkish Government had done noth- ing wrong and will use every endeavor to protect American citizens residing in Turkey. He also discussed the conditions of the insurrection in Turkey and said that the Turkish Government was not responsible for any of the disasters that had occurred.
 There is nv intention of changing any orders at present, especially as the ships cannot be reached until they arrive at Beirut No messages of importance have been received from Minister Leishman to- day.
 Late dispatches from Mir. Leishman dc not differ materially In tone from those previously sent. Minister Leishman does not as reported in some quarters, re- quest the withdrawal of the American ships from Turkish waters. While re- ports by way of London state that no attempt was made upon the life of Vice Consul Magelssen. official advsces so far received show that such an attempt was made The present status was known be- fore the ships left Genoa. and when the ships arrive at Beirut the matter ot sending them to another port will be con- sidered and possibly adopted. r,,->
 The Turkish Minister made no request of Secretary Hay in the interview today regarding the movement of United States war vessels and nothing in th.s matter was promised by the State Department In one of. the dispatches from Minister Leischmsn the message of the trial or teachers in one of the missions at Har- poot was discussed and the Minister in- formed tee department that he can seq nothing irregular in the trial but at the request of the missionaries he Is seeing to it that no injustice Is done.
 Some question has been raised as to whether Chekib Bey is an actual Minister oi Turkey, because his credentials have not been presented, and he has not yet been officially received as Minister by the President. No point is made by the State Department on this account and Uecre- tary Hay considers Chekib Bey as the Minister of Turkey to the Unite States The presenting of credentials is mere formality, and the State Department Is lware that the Minister has been duly accredited by his Government and has his credentials.

 It will be noted that only twice have crops reached over 100000, viz: s7-sS and ss-s9. The consumption of cotton has wonderfully increased and the supply in the next twelve months will hardly be equal to the demand. It will certainly not be more than will be needed.
