the clods of earth fell upon the coffin
containing the remains of Payne E
Cleaves in the little cemetery at Lyle,
Wash, where pioneers of Klickitat
COUNTY were gathered to pay the final
tribute Of love and friendship, there
came to a close the eventful career of
an. unique character, who played MS
part in a stirring incident on the high
seas more than half century ago.
Cleaves, better known as Jack" was
q native of Cumberland county, Maine,
born at North Yarmouth in 1882, of
English stock who came over on the
Mayfower in 1920. While apprenticed
as a tanner, he sailed before the mast
and was taken prisoner by the Span
ism Armada, locked in Moro castle and
finally liberated by President Fillmore
in 1851. when it was discovered that a
merchantmen had been seized. Ser
ious international complications were
threatened at the time and the incident
became part of American history.
Though proud of his ancestry, he
rarely spoke of his family, and his
only known relative was the late Gen
eral A. n. Corlss, retired, who ans
Wered the last roll call at Denver, Colo

during the Civil war and became fam

Klickitat county in 1879 and estab-
lished the first hotel in that part OF
Washington, where he was friend to
the early settlers and advised them in
many matters. He was the most wide
ly read man in the country.
While his generosity and improvi-
dence left him comparatively penniless
at death, MS acquaintance OF the early
days did not desert him in the hour
of need. They provided nurses and
gave him every care during his brief
sickness, and he crossed the Great
Divide with smile on his lips. The

Servia Must Make a Clear Explanation
or HostIities Nav Bsuin

BERLIN, March 17.-Advices re-
ceived at the Foreign Office today con-
corning the strained situation between
Austria Hungary and Servia indicate
that the crisis is still in an acute stage.
1t is affirmed that Austria Hungary is
about TO make another effort at Bel
grade with the view of bringing Ser
Was views into accord with her own.
The nature of these representations is
not disclosed but it can be said that
the dual monarchy will demand q clear
explanation of Servia's intention.
Officials say that if Servia comedies
this the negotiations will pursue a
peaceful course, but if not, hostilities
are inevitable and the only task of
the powers will be to localize the con-
fict.
The report that Turkey will demand
an explanation of Servia's intentions
with regard to the large quantity OF
war material now lying at Salonika
has been officially confirmed. Should
the reply be unsatisfactory an embargo
will be placed upon the supplies III
Salonika. In the meantime Servia has
arranged to procure munitions of VIZ
and stores Via Bulgaria, but pressure
will be brought upon Turkey to prevent
the passage of military supplies
through the DardanelleS.
