THREATENING OUTLOOK.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The state de-
partment today received word from
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz thai the
majority of officials in his district
have refused to recognize the new
provisional Mexican government and
are threatening to start counter rev.
olution. General Zelasco and General
Valdez, commanding the federal earri-
son at Vera Cruz and the commanding
officers of three Mexican gunboats in
the harbor have refused to obey or
ders from Mexico City, while the po-
lice officials will not release the fol
lowers of General Diaz, who are in
prison in Vera Cruz.
State department officials believe
that this pressages a general anti
Huerta outbreak throughout the re
public. Ambassador Wilson informed
the department today that the install

RULING GIVES 0'HARE
ESTATE TO HUSBAND
Justice Barnard Rules Trustee
Must Make Over Property
to Kin by Marriage.

A decree has been signed by Justice
Barnard. in Equity Court No. 1, in the
case of Harry Lee Ragland against
Michael J. Colbert, trustee. and others,
directing that the share of Mrs. Frances
C. Ragland, a daughter Of the late Mrs.
Ann E. O'Hare, in the $l25,0O0 estate of
her mother, be paid to her husband, the
plaintiff, Mrs. Ragland having died.
The bill, which was filed through At
torneys Wilton j. Lambert and Rudolph
H. Yeatman. alleged that Mrs. O'Hare.
who died July 13. 1901, left most Of her
estate in trust to Mr.. Colbert and Miss
Anne E. O'Hare to be sold and distrib-
uted among her children.
Mrs. Ragland, a daughter, died, leav-
ing one child as her heir, and the ques-
tion then arose as to whether her share
In her mothers estate should go to her
son or her husband.
Justice Barnard holds that. In view Of
the terms of the will directing the trus-
tees to sell the real estate and dis
tribute the proceeds, the share Of Mrs.
Ragland should be considered as prsonal
property, and therefore go to her hus-
nand under the provisions Of the code.
The contention of the trustees was that
the share should be regarded as real
estate, and go to the son.
