MISSPfLlFD NAME
DELAYS CARS GIFT
Captain Thomas Reilly's COgno'
men Changed to kelly"
by Some Strange Freak

II Captain Thomas Reilly, master OF
suaded to answer to the name OF
Kelly he might even now be smoking
cigarettes from a gold case bearing
the arms of the czar Of Russia. Reilly
perhaps does not know about the royal
favor that is withheld from him as the
result of the mixup that occurred when
the name Reilly was translated into
Russian. 1t went into st. Petersburg
Reilly" It emerged Kelly" daintily
engraved on a gold cigarette case bear
ing the arms of the czar. The Reilly
Kelly metamorphosis is one of the
troubles of Pierre Rodjestvensky, con-
sui general OF Russia at this port.
During the war between Russia ana
Japan the steamer Montara was char
tered by the Russian government to
carry supplies to vladivostok Reilly
commanded the Montara and three
times successfully ran the Japanese
blockade. The fourth time he and the
Montara were captured by the Jap
anese
AS a mark of appreciation the Rus
sian government sent to the Russian
consul at this port the before mem
toned gold cigarette case to be pre-
sented to Captain Kelly of the steam>
ship Montara.''
Being an imperial gift, the error in
the name must be officially changed by
orders from ST Petersburg, and when
these orders come the czar's token or
regard will be duly presented to his
friend, Captain Thomas Reilly.

attempt he says was made by the Ce-
brian family, who are interested in sus-
tanning the will, to tamper with wit

anything to do with the writing of let
ters by his daughter Josephine. and by
Doloroes Guerrero, an inmate of his
house, to two servants in Mazatlan,
Mexico, making suggestions as to the
testimony they should give.
The first l heard of those letters
was when l heard them read in court
answered Cebrian. He added, how
ever, that he and his wife had talked
about the proposal to take the deposi-
tons, and thought it was an outrage
that questions such as those suggested
should be asked the servants of the
family.
Another postcard written by the tes-
tator was produced yesterday 1t was
written to her brother, Miguel, but was
addressed in another hand.

mothers will, which was opened in De-
cember, 1881. Cebrian said he remem-

children of Jose Maria de Laveaga, born
out of wedlock, should be recognized.

with the care and protection of their
sister, Maria Conception de Laveaga.
