His Demise Necessitates a Pause in the Preparations for the En- campment Special Dispatch to The Call. NEVADA CITY, April 16.—To-mor= row the Union Veterans of Chatta- nooga Post must pause in their prepa- ations for entertaining the Grand | Army of the Republic of California and | Nevada, which is to assemble here in annual encampment next week, and | with bowed heads and saddened hearts follow to their last resting-place in| Pine Grove Cemetery the mortal re- | mains ¢f one of their comrades. Wells Adolphus Ashman, who served | as a private in Company I, Seventh | Regiment, California Infantry, in 1864, | and 1866, died to-day at the| County Hospital of general debility. He was a pioneer miner, quitting that | occupation to respond to his country’s | call. When peace came he again took | up pick and pan and continued to hunt | for gold until recently. He died poor, his only known living relative being a rich brother in New York State, who came out last summer and tried in vain to get him to quit his old stamp- ing ground and spend his declining vears amjd plenty and comfort on the Eastern seabcard. The stars and stripes hang at half mast to-night from many flagstaffs around the city in memory of the griz- zled old veteran who had said ever| since his health began to fail that hel would rather die in a poorhouse in Cal- | ifornia than live in a palace beyond the Rockies. The advance guard of the hosts to arrive on Monday afternoon are com- ing on every train. Mrs. Jennie Chap- man Briggs of San Jose department, chaplain of the Woman’s Relief Corps, | is here. She left a beautiful home at| Madison, Wisconsin, just before the fall of Vicksburg, and, going to the front, entered the Union Hospital at Memphis as a volunteer nurse. She was there nearly a year and at each gathering of the Grand Army she meets many old soldiers who remember with gratitude her kindly ministrations when they were under her care in the hospital. Major William Hargrave of San Diego, representing Heintzleman Post, is another early arrival. He re- ports that almost every town in the northern part of the State will be rep- resented next week, as the idea prevails that this encampment will be one of the best yet held in the West. HUSHING UP THE ZOLA SENSATION. The French Government Will Now Try the Novelist in Versailles on One Issue. Copyrighted, 18%, by James Gordon Bennett. PARIS, April 16.—The name of Zola has again become an actuality from the open- ing of his trial by the Assize Court, but as already predicted the Government has taken precautions to prevent the new trial from being marked by the excite- ment of the previous trial. The date has been postponed to May 23, when the elections will be over and the case will not be tried in Paris, but at versailles, where it is hoped to confine the trial to three or four days by strictly limiting the issue to one point, viz., Zola's defa- mation of the court-martial by accusing its members of bhaving acquitted Major Esterhazy by order. All this has been discussed in the press, but the great con- troversy on the subject is4extinct. The people are preoccupied with other things, and it will require some new develop- ment to kindle them again. There are some developments which a few weeks ago provoked violent comments and which papers to-day scarcely mentioned. The Ttalian, Government, in conse- quence of a statement made by a witness not examined in the Zola trial, has just decided to recall Colonel Panizzardi. its military attache, who is alleged to have taken an active part in the Dreyfus af- fair. According to a statement wnich is not denied Colonel Panizzardi had per- sonal relations, not explained, with Ma- or Esterhazy. In leaving Paris he fol- lows the example of Colonel Schwartz- koppen, German military attache, who was recalled to Berlin at 2 moment when his name was brought up in connection with the Esterhazy trial. priire @ik il Almost Causes a Child’s Death.

Declares That She Fears to Longer Remain Under His Roof. Asks for Half of the Community Property, Which Is Valued at Over $200,000. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, April 16—Mrs. Emily C. Yoell to-day began suit against J. Alex- ander Yoell, the capitalist, for a divorce | on the ground of extreme and continued cruelty. The Yoells are prominent soci- ety people, and the suit will create some commotion among the upper ten. About a year ago similar suit for divorce was commenced, but the action was subse- | quently dismissed at the request of the plaintiff. Following close upon this Mrs. Yoeil went through insolvency and re- celved her discharge in the insolvency proceedings about a month ago. Her lia- bilities amounted to over $20,000, and two- tiurds of this sum was for indorsements on notes of Ler son, Attorney John H. Yoell of this city. There were no assets, and great opposition arose from credit- ors to her taking advantage of the in- solvency ac. owing to the great wealth of her husband. In the divorce complaint filed to-day Mrs. Yoell charges her husband with ex- treme Crueuy. hey were married on August 3, 1862, and she alleges that two vears later her husband commenced his | unkind, harsh and tyrannical conduct toward her, which has continued with | slight intermissions until the present time. She says he possessed such a vio- lent passion and ungovernable temper that she and the children were compelled to withdraw from the pleasures of social intercourse and not invite any one to the house for fear that he would get into one Furthermore, she says life has become unbearable with him and that she s afraid to live with him. On several occa- slons, she alleges, he called her a ‘‘black- hearted wretch” and a ‘‘she-devil.” The complaint alleges that the estate is all community property and is worth over $200,000. Mrs. Yoell wants one-half of this and $500 a month alimony. There are seven children. Yoell, until a few years ago, was a prominent lawyer of this city. He is worth fully a half-million dollars, and has large property interests in San Fran- cisco. EXEMPTS WILL VISIT SAN RAFAEL ©ld - Time Firemen of San Francisco to Participate in the Carnival.

Doheny and | ON THE 0]AL VALLEY COURTS Close of the Tennis Tour- nament at Pretty Nordhoff. Men From the South Make a Better Showing on the Last Day. Succeed in Winning Three Matches Because of Robert, Whitney’s Lack of Form. Special Dispatch to The Call. VENTURA, April 16.—This was the second and last day of the great tennis tournament between the champions of north and south in Ojai Valley. The crowd was vastly increased over that of yesterday and the grand stand was crowded all day, trains bringing num- bers of people from Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The weather was slightly warmer than yesterday, but it was delightful for tennis, and the boys all played at their best. The play of the day before was sufficient to show that Southern Californians were out- classed in almost every instance, but to-day they managed to win three | matches out of five, giving them a to- tal of four matches for the tournament. Robert Whitney was the unfortunate from the north who enabled the south- ern members to score in each instance. He was not up to form and it was this which accounted for his defeat. His playing was'quite amusing to those who have watched him at his best. The first match of the day was played at 9:30 between Sumner Hardy and Thatcher. This was a close match and Hardy had the hardest work of the tournament cut out for him. The match was characterized by two deuce sets and the play was most exciting. In the first set the play stood at 5—3, Hardy finally winning in and the next set resulted in the same score. The ladies in the grand stand applaud- ed Thatcher to the echo on every bril- | liant play. In the next match Samuel Hardy beat Rowan in two straights, 6—3, 6—3. Rowan played much better than yes- terday, but he could not down the man from the North. George Whitney and Bumiller next | crossed racquets with disastrous re- | sults to the latter. The score was | 46, 6—1, 6—3. Bumiller played his best in the first set and won it, but when Whitney “put a little steam on” | he soon pulled ahead. In the next match between Oliver Picher and Robert Whitney the Southern people had a chance to shout. =7 Whitney played wild, while Picher was | as steady as a clock, winning by a| score of 6—2, 6—2. In the afternoon the first match was| between Picher and Sam Hardy and was the fastest and most brilliant of all matches of the tournament. The | spectators went wild with excitement. Picher forged ahead at the start, but . Hardy's smashes proved too much for him and he went down before a score of 7—5, 6—3. Both men were badly winded at the close of the match. Bumiller and Robert Whitney played a fast match, resulting in a score of 6—3, 6—4 in favor of the little fellow | from Los Angeles. Rowan vs. Sumner Hardy was the next match, which was won by the lat- ter by a score of 6—3, 6—2. Thatcher defaulted in his match with George Whitney and it was accorded to the latter. The match which called out the most enthusiasm was the doubles between Hardy brothers and Thatcher and Ro- wan. The play was fast and brilliant, but the northerners were easy win- ners by a score of 6—1, 6—4. Robert Whitney defaulted in the dou- ble of Whitney brothers vs. Picher and Bumiller and the match was awarded to the south, giving them a record of four games during the tournament against sixteen for the northern boys. The tournament was a success in every way, including the financlal end of it. Great credit is due W. L. Thatcher, who labored indefatigably from the inception to the end of the event. The affair wound up with a dance to-night at Casa de Piedra, the famous boys’ school conducted by Mr. Thatcher in the Ojal STURDY FIGHTERS ARRIVE AT KEY WEST Two Companies of Colored Troops of the Twenty - Fifth Regiment Ready for the [nvasion. KEY WEST, Fla., Aoril 16.—The col- ored soldiers, Companies A and G, Twenty-fifth Infantry, U. S. A, arrived here on the steamer Key West at 10:30 to-night. They will remain on board to-night, as no provision has been made to accommodate them at the barracks here. They may be given tents to-mor- row on the parade ground. In spite of the local papers predicting that trouble would follow the arrival of colored troops here, leading to a de- monstration against them at the pier, there was no excitement of any kind when the steamer came in, and neither cheers nor hisses greeted the soldiers. They have been stationed in Montana and other Eastern States, where they were famous for discipline, and look like good fighters. Prevents Shipments of Cattle. CARSON, April 16.—Governor Sadler says no California cattle have yet been shipped through Nevada. California pro- poses shipping stock to Southern Oregon, which necessitate a transfer at Reno, Nev., from the Southern Pacific to the N. C. and O. Railroad. The Governor will prevent this until a quarantine station is established. For stock passing East the quarantine station is at Wadsworth. | BETTER THAN UNCERTAINTY England Quite Prepared for Hostilities to Begin. Naval Experts Think the First Battle Will Be Between the Combined Fleets. Outside of Great Britain There Is a Most Bitter Feeling Against the «aggressive Yankees.” Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, April 16.—After a momen- tary fit of depression there has been a sudden recrudescence of optimism in banking circles, notably among the banks closely allied with the Ln!!ed States. Four-fifths of the people, how- ever, expect war and think it will be an | improvement on the present state of | uncertainty. They do not believe the | Sagasta Ministry, even if it is ready t_o bow to all the American demands, is strong enough to contend with -the ris- ing storm of Spanish pride or the half- veiled menaces of the army and the{ Carlist pretender. So a confiict is ex-| pected to be reached through Spain re- senting the action of America and by Congress declaring that a state of war exists, as in the case of Mexico. The hide-bound, anti-freedom doc- trinaries, who are pretending to cen- sure Congress and President )Icl_{ln- ley, are received with open expressions | of vexation and even disgust. ’I‘he‘l opinion of the great majority of Eng-| lishmen is that the United States is| indisputably right and that she is | only pursuing a course identical with | Great Britain’s historical policy in put- ting an end to the appalling misgov- ernment of Spain, which is wholly In the wrong, and they point out that England, in a similar position, would: have been as equally inflamed by hu- man emotions as America is at pres-| ent. | This feeling was _exemplified at the| Liberal banquet at Plymouth last even- ing, when William Alexander McAr- thur, M. P., a former lord of thz treas- uvy, was heartily cheered when he said: “I do not think England has auy right to throw stones at Congress. Englishmen should only applaud the ble indignation of America at the horrcrs daily presented during the last two years.” The Cabinet is expected to meet early | next week and deal with the questicn | of neutral vessels in the event of T It is believed some understanding mill be awarded between the great powers, and the United States is prepared to acquiesce to certain conditions whick will not impose heavy burdens upon neutral governments. Outside of Great Britain the feeling toward the United States is distinctly hostile. The inspired Government or- gans of the continent express indigna- tion at the way the United States has “ignored the concerted powers,” and speak of the ‘swaggering American self-conceit.” The inherent dislike of | the continental monarchies for the | great republic ‘is due to its very great prosperity, which is inimical to mon- archical principle, and this dislike is| cropping out in all directions, proba- bly aided by the thirst for a chance of colonizing, or absorbing Spanish Amer- ica, from which they are at present de- barred by the long arm of the repub- lic. continental observers foresee the in- evitable expansion of Anglo-Saxonism. British naval experts discredit the report that the United States will frit- ter away her forces by a simultaneous attack u-on the different Spanish col- onies. They point out that Spain has shown her appreciation of the most im- portant element of naval strategy, | namely, that sea power can only be | upheld by a - imbined fleet. By her concentrating a formidable force at the Cape Verde Islands the naval men an- ticipate that a big engagement be- tween the combined fleets will be fought in the neighborhood of Porto Rico. There is intense excitement among the members of the American colony here. Their thirst for information is so great that a private news service has been arranged. American ladies are discussing the question of organizing to assist the wounded immediately after war is declared. It is understood that the interesting questions will come up in the House of Commons Monday relative to neutral ships in the event of war. IMPROVED ORDER RED MEN.

Chronic indigestion or (. spepsia, while a very common irouble; has for some time been looked upon by able physicians as a serious thin~ and that no time sho.ld be lost in treating it properly at the start, because recent researches have : .own that the most serious, fatal and incurable disea have their origin in simple dyspepsia or_indigestion. Diabegtes is simply one form of indi- gestion, the sugar and starchy food not being assimilated by the digestive or- gans. In Bright's disease the albumen is not prop ly assimilatec. While consumption and dyspepsia are twin diseases, and it is beyong question that dyspepsia makes a fer- tile soil for the seeds of consumption. But the trouble has bee. to find a rem.1y that could be depended upon to cure dyspepsia, as it is notoriousiy obstinate and difficult to cure. This has been the question which has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike, until tbe question was solved three years ago by the appearance of a new dyspepsia cure in the medical world known as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, which it was claimed was a certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach ‘rouble. Physicians, however, woul not ac. cept.such statements without first giv. ing the new nedy many tests and carefully observing results. For three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested in every section of the country and with surprising and satisfactory results. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets can be honestly claimed to be a specific, a radical lastin~ cure for indigestion in the various forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach, gas or wind on stomac! too much bile, undue fullness or pres- sure after eating and similar symptoms resulting fron. disordered digestion. Stua-t'’s Dyspepsia Tablets were not placed before the public until this three vears’ trial left no doubt as to their value and they have recently been placed in the trade and can be found on sale at all druggists at the nominal price of 50 cents per package. No extravagant claims are made for the remedy. It will not cure rheuma- tism, pneumonia, typhoid fever nor anything but just what it is claimed to cure and that is every form of stomack trouble. No dieting is necessary, good whole- some food and plenty of it and_you may rest assured that Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets will digest it. Druggists claim for it that it is a pleasure to recor+—iend it t- dyspeptics, because it oiv's ~uch universal satis- faction.
