that the fire will damage the vessels

belongs, Captain Lyon and several
representatives of the insurance com

garded as dangerous and 1t was decid-
ed that water was the only recourse.
The damage to the cargo is now os-
timated at $4,000.

Evidence Of Neglect BY The

PASSENGER TESTIFIES THE

Declares Plumb Line Was Tangled

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 13.-For the
first time since the Valencia investiga-
tion has been In progress testimony
was introduced today which tended to
show that causes other than the ele-
ments were responsible for Captain

that he had noticed while watching

HOUSE OF CASTELLANE

Lawyers Talking Finances.
OF CASTELLANE
NOW FORMALLY SEPARATED

Faris, Feb. 13.-Count Boni de
Castellane had long conference to-
day with the lawyers of the countess,
his wife. This was one of several
meetings at which the two parties
concerned have carefully gone over
the financial features of the case with
form of the future procedure and
the ultimate decree of divorce. In
the meantime the countess bill of
complaint is being prepared but has
not yet been filed, as the form will
depend upon the pending conferences
over financial affairs If these are
satisfactorily adjusted the countess
bill of complaint is likely to be ma
terially modified so as to contain only
fncompatibllity or other grounds with
in the statute, but avoiding alega-
tions of a scandalous nature. How
ever, the conferences are not for the
purpose of reconciliation, as all con-
cerned, including the count and coun-
tess and their lawyers, appear to rec
ognize the futility of any further at.
tempt to reunite the family. The
present indications therefore, are that
after the parties reach financial up-
derstanding, the bill will be modified
and a decree entered by mutual con-
sent This decree probably will be
for a separation, as the French law
permits such decree being extended
to a complete divorce after three
years. Thus far however the coun-
tess has not decided whether the bill
shall ask for a complete annulment
of her marriage. Her friends are
rather inclined to restrict the decree
to a separation, as this would prevent
the remarriage of either party within
three years, thus putting an end to
the rumor that the countess intended
to marry again, which her friends
characterize as absurd. Until the bill
is finally framed and filed the courts
will not formally possess the docu-
ment explicitly setting forth the
grounds of the action.
: AS a result of the countess prima
facie showing, the count has awarded
her the temporary care of the child
rem and a separate domicile at the
Castellane mansion on the Avenue
Du Bois de Boulogne. The effect OF
this interlocutory order is to exclude
the count from the mansion, as the
law considers ii to be incompatible
for two separate domiciles to exist un-
der the same roof. The countess re-
mains with the children and she ex-
poets to be joined soon by members
OF Howard Gould's family.
Count Boni expresses to his friends
his deep desolation over the affair,
and asserts his continued affection for
his wife and children. He pays the
fullest tribute to the wifely loyalty
OF the countess and does not intend
to file a cross bill.
