The springs property is owned L Mrs. Leland Stanford. About a year ago, it is said, Adolph Sutro looked at the place with a view of purchasing, but the price asked was entirely too much. The people of Calistoga look forward to the day when these hot springs will make their town justly famous. The CArLL's cor- respondent dipped water from these differ- ent springs, the steam from which can be seen hundreds of yards away, and found it so hot that the glass was uncomfortable in the fingers. One spring was actually boil ing. There is no need of a second Del Monte Hotel here. A good hotel, pretty cottages and modern bathhouses would make of the place a valued health resort for those of modest means, who cannot afford the expensive trips to fashionable springs. It really doesn’t seem just to the people of this part of the State that these bountiful remedial gifts of nature should zo to waste. Mayor Sutro of San Francisco ownsa country place about seven miles beyond Calistoga. Arcadia, as it is called, consists of 1200 acres, rather on the perpendicular, about 2500 feet up the side of St. Helena. Mr. Sutro spends much of his time here during the summer, and is said to be fond of the spot he has cultivated. Dr. Beverly Cole has a beautiful home within a short distance from the town.

This makes the town a busy place during the “outing’ season; but the pity of it all is that people should have to pass the won- derful, steaming, sulphurous springs that are right here within the town limits of Calistoga. These springs were once quite flourish- ing in days gone by, but now the grounds are in a neglected condition, The cottages are dilapidated, the summer-houses are broken to the ground, the superb palm trees—the largest in the State, it is said— are dying.

This water plant was con- structed and is owned by William Fisher, Wwho has one of the most delightful homes in the vicinity of Calistoga. The public school is under the charge of F. G. Huskey, who is holding the school up to the highest standard of excellence. All the teachers are using modern rational methods of teaching and are obtaining cor- respondingly good results. Miss Wini- fred Timmins, who has charge of the most. interesting grade—the second primary—is an intensely magnetic woman and her pupils were particularly interested in their work. - In the morning exercises the organ was played bya sweet-faced little girl, Edna Hurst, a relative of the California songstress, Emma Nevada. The child showed much talent and her clear voice led the other children in song. NEW YORK, March 17.—Pursuant to the usual custom the anarchists held a mass-meeting in the Thalia Theater to ceiebrate the fall of the bastile. The theater was crowded. John H. Eddleraann, editor of an an- archist newspaper, talked of the time when there would be & revolution in New York and the occupants of tenement- houses would help themselves to the | houses on Fifth avenue and their contents. He was vigorously cheered. H Addresses in German of similar import ;ere made by Johann Most and August utt. —_—— South Dakota’s New Laws. PIERRE, 8. Dak., March 17.—Governor Sheldon has signed all the bills passed by the Legislature, excepting three minor measures of local interestonly. Among the bills which became laws are: Per- mitting mercantile agencies to do business in the State, having been practic:lly pro- hibited hitherto; abolishing the grand i\;ry system, putting all criminal cases into e county’s hands.

OTHER REPORTS FALSE. Six Thousand Insurgents Are Under Arms Ready to Fight for Rights. |SANTIAGO IS TO BE TAKEN. | | Business at a Standstill Throughout the Island Owing to the Trouble. KEY WEST, Fla., March 17.—The first clear and trustworthy statement of the condition of affairs in the eastern end of | Cuba is brought by a passenger on the | steamer Macotte. “I have traveled throughout the moun- tainous district constantly since the | trouble began,” he said, “and matters are now in a much worse condition than at the beginning. The fighting started in a | desultory and scattered fashion, but the forces gradually became more crystallized and there are now fully 6000 insurgents under arms. They are in a dozen or more detachments, but are giving the Govern- ment no end of trouble. In many cases the Spanish troops have been beaten back | with heavy loss. The most deplorable feature of the warfare is the pillaging and burning. The insurgents have gained con- | fidence since the beginning of the trouble, | and matters in the eastern district are in almost as bad condition as during the war | of 1868, | “New leaders are springing up, and by | force of their intellect and ability they have induced the insurgents not to hold off longer for the arrival of leaders. The gen- eral opinion in Santiago is that if the insur- | gents can hold out until summer the yel- | low fever will help them greatly. *“It is said that both Rabi and Masso are confident of taking Santiago before Octo- | ber.

Four Spanish cruisers were in the harbor at Santiago one week ago; now there are but two guarding the eastern coast and one on the southern.” The passenger also said the revolt would | kill business in Cuba for twe years. Money is already’ scarce and prices are high. A | panic is feared. It seems to be the gen- eral impression among the Spaniards that the United States feels -bitterly toward the | Spanish Government and would like noth- |ing better than an excuse to seize the island, hence their hatred of the Ameri- cans. Nothing official has been received of the report of the Spanish cruiser firing on the Allianca. It is understood that the Span- ish officials in Havana claim the Allianca was within three miles of the shore and that the cruiser had a right to sink her on her refusal to halt. REPORTS CONFIRMED. Citizens Give an Entertainment for the Benefit of Revolutionists, TAMPA. Fla., March 17.—The reports of the Progresso, by a Cuban steamer that arrived to-night, give credence to the uprising in the Eastern Department and state much activity exists among the Span- ish troops on the entire island. Thirteen prisoners are reported in the prisons of Havana. San Guilly and Aguirre are being tried by Civil Court as required by Consul Williams, and it is believed that they will be freed altogether, although it is asserted that should San Guilly be cleared his life would be in peril. The Cubans had a recent engagement | with Spanish troops on the outskirts of | Bayamo. It is said that citizens saw the fighting from the housetops. The affray | lasted two hours, and 300 Spaniards were killed and wounded. The Cubans gave an | entertainment in Ybor City, the proceeds | to go to the treasury of the revolutionary party. The house was crowded. THE PLANS MISCARRIED. Washington’s Birthday Selected for the Cuban Revolution Opening. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 17.—Ex- tracts from a special to the Florida Citizen from Key West say: With Marti, Gomez and Collaz in the East, with the insurrec- jado district of Cuba, Spain is confronted by a turbulence which she knows from ex- perience must result in the death of many faithful followers and the loss of a large treasure. The forces now at work have been gathering strength for twenty-five | years. On the defeat of the uprising in | 1868 the insurgents fled from the island and made their homes in the United States and Spanish-speaking republics of South and Central America. In these homes of exile revolutionary funds were opened and regular contribu- tions were made until iri New York alone $3,500,000 was on hand and the cigar-makers of Tampa and Key West were pouring into the fund at the opening of hostilities $3000 a day. Joseph Marti, with his chief resi- dence in New York, was head and front of the secret operations. Marti’s plan was to get some small, fast steam vessels for trans- ports to Cuba. The rising was to be in several places &t once and emissaries in Spain, Philippines and Porta Rico were to incite insurrection. layed the beginning of the hostilities several weeks, The Lagonda, which is one of the fastest vessels in the country and whose speed caused Borden to charter her, was to cruise in Cuban waters and to oc- casionally slip into the island a Cuban leader or a company of recruits from Porto Rico, sail to Domingo, Hayti, Jamaica, Venezuela or Costa Rica and points in TFlorida, where clubs of Cuban revolution- ists of from 150 to 200 members had been formed and stood ready to go to Cuba to take up arms against Spain. The day set by Marti for the revolution to break forth was February 22, Washing- ton’s birthday, and all arrangements were made to that end, but the failure of Bor- den’s part of the programme knocked all other plans out of line, for, besides de- stroying simultaneous action, it prevented the landing in Cuba of at least a dozen important leaders and at the lowest esti- mate 5000 men.

By that time every effort will be made by the Cubans to have all their forces at hand. Guayamaro, in Port-au-Prince province, has been designated as the place for the final organization of the republic and formation of a democratic form of govern- ment if the revolution succeeds. NO FURTHER INTERFERENCE. Spain Replies to Gresham’s Demands Regarding American Vessels. WASHINGTON, March 17.—The State Department has received a dispatch from Minister Taylor at Madrid. The Spanish Government has given assurance to the United States that there will be no more repetition of such offenses as the firing upon the mail steamer Allianca. The reply of the Spanish Government is couched - in courteous and temperate phrases and expressed the determination of Spain to avoid further cause of com- plaint on the part of the American Government. Asto the attempted deten- tion of the Allianca the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs says he is as yet without information and adds that as soon as he shall have a report from the captain- general from Cuba concerning thatincident a reply will be made to the demand made in Secretary (Gresham’s telegram. While the officials of the State Depart- ment are unwilling to say anything what- ever concerning the contents of Minister Taylor’s cablegram it is believed the fore- is a fairly accurate interpretation of It will be noted that the Spanish Goy- ernment promptly complied with one of the most important of Secretary Gresh- am’s demands, which was for immediate assurances that the war-vessels patrolling Cuban waters should not give further offense in the manner complained of in the Allianca affair. As to the other de- mand made by Secretary Gresham, that the Spanish Government should promptly express its regrets for the detention of the Allianca, Mr. Taylor responds, stating the willingness of the Spanish Government. to respond thereto in due time should the | facts on investigation prove to be in ac- cordance with the representations made by the United States. RUMORS OF DEPREDATIONS, A SCHOONER SAID TO HAVE BEEN SUNK BY A SPANISH GUNBOAT. SuPPOSED TO HAVE CARRIED THE AMERICAN FLAG AND SIX- TEEN PEOPLE. NEW YORK, March 18.—A special dis- patch to a morning paper from Tampa, Florida, says: Passengers on the steamer which arrived from Havana bring news of reports in circulation there of further depredations by Bpanish cruisers on Amer- ican vessels along the Cuban coast. The latest report is to the effect that the Spanish gunboat Arcedo fired into and sunk an American schooner off Puerto Padre. It is reported that the crew, num- bering sixteen persons, perished. It is not known whether the schooner had arms gr carried an expedition of Cu- bans. It was reported in Havana that the schooner had sailed from Key West. Inquiries, however, fail to show any boat missing or unreported except those en- gaged in legitimate trade. Many sailed recently for West Indian ports with cargoes. P EXPRESS SATISFACTION. The Italian Government Pleased With the Steps Taken in Colorado. WASHINGTON, March 17.—Expres- sions of satisfaction having been made by the Italian Government at the steps taken by the Colorado authorities for the appre- hension of the murderers of the Italians at ‘Walsenburg, the diplomatic incident occa- sioned thereby is regarded as closed for the present. That satisfaction exists is shown by the telegram which was sent yesterday by As- sistant Secretary of State Uhl to Governor MclIntyre of Colorado. In this telegram Mr. Uhl sets forth the expression of appre- ciation manifested on the part of Baron Fava, the Italian Embassador here, and of his government, and of the Federal Gov- ernment, at the efforts of the State author- ities to arrest the guilty parties. To-day the Assistant Secretary received a reply irom Governor McIntyre, in which that official says that the District Attorney told him (the Governor) that he would use every means to gecure the arrest and con- viction of those who were guilty. Thé Governor said also that he had issued a proclamation offering a reward of $1000 | (the limit under the statutes of the State) for the apprehension and conviction of the guilty parties. —_——— A STRIKERS' COLONY, Blacklisted Pullman Employes Will Start in Business for Themselves. CHICAGO, March 17.—A large number of the Pullman strikers of last summer, | with their families and others, intend to settle this spring as a colony in the South. A meeting was held this afternoon at which a committee was appointed to make pros- pecting trips to view the various sites that are under consideration in Tennessee, Ala- bama and Louisiana. It is said that of the Pullman strikers who, it is alleged, were blacklisted, over 200 have been unable to get work elsewhere. Most of these will be members of the colony. Many of those who now have employ- ment in the Pullman shops are also anx- ious to cast their lot with the colony. It wilt also have many others, both employed and unemployed at the preseut time. All the stores in the colony will be co-opera- tive and a member of the colony says: “No positive franchises for supplying its members with public necessities shall be granted by the association.” The manufactories will be of a varied character, but will be those that can utilize such mechanics and laborers as are mem- bers of the colony. Oneof the manufac- turing plants proposed will build railroad and street cars. o e Report of Assessments Unsatisfactory. BLOOMINGTON, Ill, March 17. — A meeting was held here of members of the Covenant Mutual Insurance Company of Galesburg, Ill., representing $200,000 in- surance. The report of the assocociation explain- ing why assessments avere doubled was considered unsatisfactory. An organiza- tion was formed with ex-Congressman Rowell as president to immediately make a rigid examination of the affairs of the association. The association, which was originally exclusively an Odd Fellows’ con- cern, nas membersin all parts of the Union. o — e g The Red Sea takes its name from the presence of ereat numbers of animalcule of that color in the water. £ ST PATRICK'S DAY EAST With Masses and Songs Ireland’s Priest Is Praised. SATOLLI PARTICIPATES. Father Richards of Georgetown College Pays a Tribute to the Irish Race. “ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE” Celebrations Conducted in Various Cities Throughout the United States. WASHINGTON, March 17.—St. Patrick’s day was celebrated in St. Patrick’s Church to-day with pontifical high mass by Mon- signor Satolli and a sermon by Rev. Father Richards, president of Georgetown College, on the worldwide work wrought by St. Patrick and the Irish race. Monsignor Satolli was assisted by Reyv. Fathers Baretti, Russel and Barnum of the local Catholic clergy. His celebration of mass was accompanied by orchestra, choir and organ. President Richards’ sermon was notable in portraying the Irish race as God’s chosen people of modern times as the Jews had been chosen people of the old dispen- sation, alsoin its eloquent tribute of loyalty to the Pope and his American delegate, Monsignor Satolli. Referring to the growing influence of the Irish the world over, Father Richards said a mighty empire, far vaster than the Ro- man power, the empire of the English speaking people was growing up and over- shadowing the world. A grasping relent- less,unfeeling power, it is, no doubt. yet in general just to individuals, much like that pagan but orderly empire of old. And now, wherever the English flag is planted there the Irish go with the intent to plant the faith. Nay, they outrun their masters. Driven by unjust laws, by oppression, cruelty, poverty and famine, they pene- trate to the remote quarters of the globe, bearing with them their priest and their faith. This Irish immigration was at first to- ward the Catholic countries of Europe, then toward the United States. At the present day they are flowing to South America, where 100,000 Irishman are set- tled on the hills surrounding Buenos Ayres. They are founding a new world in Australia; they are powerful in India; they are invading ail the countries, are taking possession of the Oriental regions, and the ancient prophecy of Noah is in course of realization with the Irish giv- ing back to the East the faith it had re- jected. TFather Richards referred to the distinguished characteristic of the Irish in their unwavering fidelity to the See of Rome, which equipped them for their world’s mission. Then, addressing Mgr. Satolli, he said: “Venerable prelate: From the moment you set foot on these shores the heart of the American_church bade you a joyful and respectful welcome. We are all of us Irish; all of us Romans in our welcome to thee. “When, therefore, you write to the glo- rious pontiff, whom you so worthily repre- sent, say the hearts of his children in America beat with only one impulse, loy- alty and love for the See of Peter. In his words, however much the world may carp and blame, we know we shall have the purest faith, the most devoted patriotism. Ask him to rely upon our obedience and our affection, and implore him to bless, from his throne of suffering, his children in these United States, that we may carry on, with high-hearted courage and stead- fast truth, the mission entrusted by Celes- tine to St. Patrick and the Irish race.” The statement had added significance on account of the persistent but groundless reports that the Jesuit order was not in full sympathy with Mgr. Satolli’s mission. President Richards is one of the influential members of the order and Georgetown Col- lege one of its schools. Celebration in Chicago. CHICAGO, March 17.—The feature of the St. Patrick’s day celebration here to- day was a long parade composed of Irish and Catholic societies, including the An- cient Order of Hibernians, Clan-na-Gael Guards and the Seventh Infantry Illinois National Guard. The procession, consist- ing of five divisions, marched through the principal streets of the city, and was led by Grand Marshal M. J. Kelly. It is esti- mated there were 20,000 people in the parade. Great crowds of spectators thronged the line of march. The day coming on Sunday, special services were also held in all the Catholic churches. In Indianapolis. YNDIANAPOLIS, March 17.—The cele- bration of 8t. Patrick’s day in this city was the most elaborate known in Indianapolis for many years. The demonstration in street parades was made up of about 2000 uniformed men and those wearing the re- galia of their order. Fatal Celebration in Denver. DENVER, March 16.—A special to the Rocky Mountain News from Moffatt, Colo., says: Arthur Kelly, while celebrating St. Patrick’s day, got into a quarrel and tried to shoot a Swede, missed his man and struck William Kelly over the left eye, killing him. Arthur Kelly is still at large. The Green in Baltimore. BALTIMORE, March- 17.—There was a great wearing of the green here on this St. Patrick’s day. There was a special ser- vice in St. Patrick’s Church, where Cardinal Gibbons and the principal clergy of the city assembled. N New Orleans’ Perfect Day. NEW ORLEANS, March 17.—Perfect spring weather favored the celebration of St. Patrick’s day, which was conducted on a grander scale than has been the custom recently. i LONDON MARKETS. Stocks Have Been Weak, but Have a Tendency to Rise. LONDON, March17.—The Chinese, Tas- manian and Chilean issues tended during the week to make money somewhat harder. The stock market was weak on the whole, but the strength of foreign securities was a special feature, notably Portuguese and Spanish, while South American stocis were firmer. With the prospects of the war coming to an _end the Chinese issues were stronger. Rumors were current of another Chinese loan of £20,000,000. Home railway securities were easier. antee the payment of the assessments caused a rise in Atchison. American se- curities generally showed a better tone, but there was little business done. The report of the New York Central road was held to show that a further cutting down of expenses is impossible. The report of Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, guaranteeing a dividend, caused a rise of 3% in Central Pacific. The other increases were; FErie seconds, 214; Lake Shore, 2; Atchison fours, 13¢; Milwaukee, Denver preferred, Mexican Central, Norfolk and Western and Northern Pacific preferred, 114. The others showed fractional ad- vances. American mining securities were booming. —-—— Ex-Senator Payne's Wife Buried. CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 17.—The funeral of Mrs. Perry Payne, wife of ex- Senator H. B. Bayne, was held this after- noon from the family residence on Euclid avenue. The services, which were very simple, were conducted by Rev. Dr. H. C. Hayden of the First Presbyterian Church. The interment was in the family lot in Lakeview Cemetery. | R s Ordered to the Pacifie. LONDON, March 18.—A dispatch from St. Petersburg says it is reported that all the Russian Mediterranean squadron has | been ordered to the Pacific to be in readi- ness to make positive demonstration in concert with Great Britain in regard to the Japanese demands on China. OLERKS TO BE DISCHARGED. Economy Practiced in Wells-Fargo’s Auditing Department. A wave of economy has rolled over the office of Wells, Fargo & Co. within the last few days and besides a considerable reduc tion in salaries a large number of men will be discharged at the end of the present month. It is the auditing department which is most affected, which is under the control of James 8. Bunnell. Within the last few days Mr. Bunnell has notified seventeen of his clerks, many of them old hands, that their services are no longer required. Some of the clerks thus notified say that they asked for explanations from Mr. Bunnell and that he informed them that he could getall the capable men he wanted for $30 to $40 dollars a week. and that there was no reason why higher salaries should be paid. Ttis also stated that the clerks, who were formerly paid when they worked over- time at night, which they frequently do, would receive no compensation for this extra work hereafter. This cut in wages is the third one within a year. In April, 1894, some of the officials were cut,and in the succeeding month there was a general reduction. Dissatisfaetion at the existing state of af- fairs is said to exist among the clerks, Those who must leave on the 1st of April have, of course, lost all interest in the mat- ter. READY FOR THE FAIR CASE ONLY OBJECTIONABLE PARTS OF THE DOCUMENT WILL BE CONTESTED. AN ATTEMPT Was MapE 10 USE| THE LEGISLATURE TO AID THE FIGHT. An important day in the Fair will matter has arrived. There will be a big array of legal talent in Judge Slack’s court this morning, and some lively work is expected. The attorneys for the various heirs have determined to make a bitter fight against the executors, and a sensation is promised. The first matter which will come up will be the filing of the certified copy of the will. When it is settled which one of the two copies will be accepted the real fight will commence. Pierson & Mitchell ex- pect to have the court decide in favor of the copy of the will they have in their possession. Attorney George A. Knight will then resent Charles Fair's contest to the will. The grounds of the contest will allege that the late Senator Fair was unduly influ- enced by Goodfellow, Angus, Bresse and Carothers, the executors, who prepared the wording of the will so as to give them absolute management of the Fair estate. The contest will not be against the entire v it will not be sought to set aside the will itself. Charles Fair will admit that parts of the will were made by his father without un- due influence being exerted upon him. Those certain portions of the will which restrict the children of Fair, especially Charles, will be opposed. Strong objection will be made to the portions of the will which give the executors unlimited power.. Allegations will be made that the four ex- ecutors unduly influenced Fair against his children so as to gain for them- selves power to handle the millions of the estate, so that they can enrich themselves with fees and other rcrquisxtcs, ‘When the formality of presenting the contest to the will has been carried out Attorney Reuben H. Lloyd will s[;;mg a bombshell against the executors. e will file a document detailinfi the schemes of the executors to obtain the control of the estate to the exclusion of any power of the children of Fair by which they might have some right to_dictate the policy of hand- ling the estate in which they, as heirs, are interested more than any one else. It is said that Lloyd will create quite a sensa- tion. The attorneys representing the heirs had several conferences recently. The most important one was held last evening, and it lasted until midnight. Charles Fair, George A. Knight, Charles Hegseny, Rus- sell Wilson, Charles Wheeler and Governor Budd met in Reuben H. Liloyd’s office and discussed the different plans af action for several hours. The exact lines upon which the different grounds of opgo!mm'x to the will, which comprise Charles Fair's con- test, were finally settled, and a line of war- fare against the four executors of the will was mapped out. % Governor Budd will not join the legal array in Judge Slack’s court this morning. He will go to Stockton to-day to study the various bills passed by the Legislature, and to hunt for the jokers in them. A sensational attempt to use the Legis-| & lature on behalf of Charles Fair has been brought to light. It was an attempt to se- cure the passage of a law by which the va- lidity of tge will could be settled without Charles Fair running the risk of being dis- inherited by contesting the will. On Feb- rnary 13 Senator Earl introduced Senate bill 694. It was a bill to allow the testing of the validity ofa will or any trust there- in. The validity of a will could be settled in a suit to quiet title to any piece of prop- erty belonging to the maker of the will. In case the bill had become a law it would have been very simple for Charles Fairor any one to bring suit to quiet title to any piece of f;ro erty owned by the late Senator Fair. In the trial of this suit the validity of the will woula have had to be passed upon. The will could therefore be contested without Charles Fair bringing an ordinary contest, and he would escape the disinheriting clause. The billed passed the Senate and As- sembly without attracting any notice. It was sent to Governor Budd on the 4th inst. On Wednesday, the 13th inst., Governor Budd, the attorney for Charles Fair, ve- toed the bill which would have been so beneficial to his client. This created great consternation in the camp of the persons opposed to the will. Senator Earl, the friend of Charles Wheeler, one of Charles Fair’s attorneys, did not know what to make of the situation. He tried to get the bill sed over the Governor’s veto, but the joker was exposed, and when the vote was taken to pass the bill over the ing ashamed to vote for hisown ik ‘ictm}fns been asserted that Charles Fair's sole purpose in retaining Governox Budd as his attorney was to secure his sig+ nature to the bill. Governor Budd is rep- resented as having stated that he would not sanction any fogislation affecting the Fair will matter in any way. Beyond Description.
