EIGHT 1V;ES 56 COLUMNS. SSCKANTOJi", 1A., TUESDAY MOANING, MA11C1I 1!), 1895. TWO CENTS A COPY. fflURUAGUflJCEEPS SILENCE The Spanish Minister Denies Him self to All Callers. GKESHAM DENIES MESSAGE Bat It Is Ucllevcd That Spuln Has Sent a Communication Report of a Second Offense Is Dis credited. Washington, March IS. Secretary Greslium ivns closeted all morning with state department oMeers and other per sons concernlnir diplomatic happenings since his illness. In answer to inquiries on the Alliancu affair. Sir. Luiulls, private secretary, said that Secretary Uresham authorized a formal denial, to be made of reports that he had r. celved from Minister Taylor any an swer to the secretary's note demanding on explanation or upology from Spain. The denial went Into details to show how it was impossible for Spain to have secured from the Cuban authori ties the necessary information upon which to base a reply. Hut in spite of this denial it is believed here that the reply was received and given out to the press by some one in olllcial authority at the state department. The conten tion of the state department that Spain , has not had sutliclent time to reply and ' would not have replied without llrst thoroughly investigating the affair, is not credited because the terms of the alleged reply from Spain given in the morning newspapers covers practically the same ground contained in the ver bal assurances which the Spanish min ister gave to the state department when the occurrence was first reported and he had no facts to base his action upon except the report made by Captain Crossman, of the Alllanca. Scnor .Mnrtiugua Will Not Talk. Senor Muruagua. the Spanish minis ter, declined today to see- callers or to receive any messages. In response to urgent requests for Information on the Alllanca affair and tne answer of Spain, a note from the minister was presented to all inquirers, saying: "Ex cuse me. I have nothing further for publication." Among the callers on the minister was Mr. Oray, former owner of the Alllanca, but lie. too, was unable to secure an Interview. He next went to the state department. Mr. Gray was the receiver of the American and Bra zilian Steamship company, which op erated the Alllanca. and sold her to the present owners. He speaks In hirh terms of her capabilities. Mr. Gray says that his present business with the Spanish minister and the state depart ment Is of a private nature, and docs not concern the Alllanca trouble. He is well acquainted with the coast trade I.I?IW KKH lilt? lIlllt?U OUU'-S. LUUU UIIU South America, and does not believe Vr commercial Interests will be ser """lwJsly affected by the Cuban uprising or by the Alllanca incident. A Humor I nvcrificd. Nothing is known here of reports pub lished In a New York paper today under a Key West date Jjiat a Spanish gun boat had fired on an unknown Ameri can vessel off the Cuban coast. Dis patches to the Associated Press last night from Key West contained no mention of any such occurrence, and there is no Spanish xrar vessel of the name given, the Arcedo. The state department has had no in formation from sources touching the report that the Spanish cruiser Arcedo fired upon and sunk a small American schooner off the Cuban coast, and the report finds little credence here. The naval register shows that the Arcedo Is a small schooner rigged Iron gunboat, built In Spain in 188.1, and of about nine knots speed. It is not known whether or not she Is In Cuban waters. Other sources of Information than the state department are likewise without any information on the matter and are In clined to discredit it. Spanish Commander's Report. Havana, March IS. The commander If the Spanish cruiser, Conde De Vena llto, reports that on March 8, while rruising off the eastern coast of the bland, he sighted a steamer heading lor Malsl Point. The steamer's course ivas to the northenst. The cruiser hoisted a flag and the steamer replied &y raising an English flag. The cruiser IfRnalled the steamer to stop, but wlth ut' effect. As the steamer proceeded it full speed the cruiser first 11 rod two tdank shots and then two solid shots. ' The commander says h did not desire to hit the steamer, but merely to cause er to heave to. He asserts that the earner was but one and a half miles ff the Cuban coast when the firing oc ;urred. The authorities here have ordered that full inquiry be made Into the com mander's acts. Judging from Captain Grossman's story nobody can doubt that the steamer in question was the Alllanca, which was fired on by a Spanish cruiser on March 8. Nothing has been heard here to confirm the rumor that the gunboat Alredo has lunk an American schooner. The rumor is regarded as utterly unfounded In tact. i DETR1CT IX JAIL. tn Default of $.100 Hail Ho Is Committed to tho Hostile. Bpeclal to the Soranton Tribune. ' Duryea, March 18.

The floors of the two lower rooms of the cabin were carpeted with the finest rugs made, from the skins of tolmala "! preserved by the hermit. The rugs consisted of the skins of coons, cats, snakes, frogs, minks, etc. The skins were perfectly preserved and were as natural as If Just taken from the animal. lTP stairs were three bodies which the hermit said he had obtained years ago. They looked as If death had come but yesterday. The hermit also had bodies of different animals all looking as nn tunW as life.

The National Dank of Kansas City Closes Its Doors Depositors Will He Secured. Kansas City. Mo., March IS. The Na tional bank of Kansas City closed its doors this morning and the comptroller of the currency appointed Bank Exam iner Galbralth temporary receiver. The failure was unexpected and the news of the suspension created quite a sensa tion In financial circles. Tho bank is the oldest llminelal Institution In the city, having been establislved before the war. I'ntil the panic In 1S9II It was ranked as one of the strongest banks in the west. In July. 1SH3, it succumbed to a run and temporarily closed its doors. Although the capital was re duced and the stockholders paid In 50 per cent, assessment In the re-organl.a-tion, th institution has never recov ered from the blow It received at that time, and its suspension now is direct ly attributed to that suspension. Ac cording to the statement of the bank March 5, deposits were S'JUO.u.'.y. Presi dent Chick says that the suspension is merely a liquidation and that not a de positor will lose a cent. This Is the largest bank failure that has occurred since the panic of 1HH3. when so many national banks In all parts of the country suspended. KKSC'LTS OF SALOON l-TCUT.

Late on Saturday night two strangers entered the saloon of August Thlele, at this place. There were several Ber wick men In the place and all were drinking. The strangers did not seem to be congenial companions for the local imbibers and a quarrel sprang up. Some blows were exchanged, and then one of the strangers uncased a razor and made a lunge at William C. Kreas. The keen blade was drawn across his abdomen, inflicting a deep and horrible wound. Freas sank to the floor, but his friends took swift revenge. They rushed upon the stranger, disarmed him and beat him without mercy. The other stranger was also badly beaten when he attempted to help his friend. They were arrested and sent to the lockup. On Sunday morning both were released from prison and driven a few miles out of town. The one who stabbed Kreas was more seriously wounded than at first apparent. It seems that after being put out of the town he lay down and died from the effects of the brutal assault. His body was discov ered today. An Investigation has been started by the public ofllcers.

Where lloulunger Uot His I'unds for the Parliamentary Campaign. London, March 18. There Is still a great ado In Purls about the origin of the funds for the Boulanglst parliament ary campaign. Baron Iltrsch Is ac cused of being a lurge contributor. At the Instance of the Mnrqula de Breteull he gave a check for $10,000 In 18S8 a,ml threw the receipt , for It Into the fire. Another story Is that the Cointe de Partb furnished $600,000 to the commit- tee to help it overthrow the republic und re-establish the monarchy. Kecent revelations, however, caBt discredit upon this statement. A Journalist who claims to be familiar tvlth tho inside facts says that the Duchess d'Uzes, after she struck up a friendship with General Boulanger, thought of using him as another monk. She brought him Into relations wit!) her royalist friends, talked him over, and then went abroad to confer with tho Count of Paris on her scheme. She had some difficulty In getting his as sent to the plot; he used very guarded language. He refused to advance be hind General Boulanger, but was will lug to act on parallel lines. He said he could not furnish- ways and means for a coup d'etat. The duchess then offered to advance $1100,000 on the count's- bond. To-avold Incurring a re coverable debt he signed a paper In which he bound himself anil his heirs to repay Hie money, but he made the recovery of the throne a condition. The bond was witnessed by a number of prominent Orlcanlsts, who went Into the Boulanglst campaign and headed tho "parallel action." As the situation or the Orleanlst par ty l.i now regarded as hopeless, the duchess made a bad Investment. IMPORTANT DECISION. Supreme Court Decides That Corporations .Must Not Hamper Contractors. Philadelphia, March IS. The supremo court today, In a per curiam opinion, decided that municipal corporations have no right to hamper contractors by fixing the rate of wages to be paid employes or declaring that they shall be citizens of the l.'nlted States. The plaintiff In the case was a contractor for a new Inlet and pumping station to be built by the water department of Beading, and the defendants were members of the water board of that city. The specifications required the contractors to employ no one not a citizen of the United States, and to pay no man a less sum for his labor than J1.50 per duy. The plaintiff's point was that these requirements were not consistent with the provisions of tho act of assembly which requires that such work shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder. The court below sustained this point, and the members of the water board took an appeal. The supreme court atllnns the lower court's decision. THREW l'EW'ER IN HIS EYES. An A. P. A.

Sullivan, who, occupied a seat behind him. He urged his old time opponent on during the fight and It seemed to give Kilraln en couragement. O'Donnell, although a much lighter mun than Kilraln, did not show up to advantage, and he disappointed the spectators, who expected to Bee a clever fighter. It was apparent as soon as Kilraln stepped into the ring, that he had been drinking, anil was not In a fit condition to light. Ills stomach was large and he was very lb-shy. He had not lost any of his old time cleverness, und It was used to advantage. At times 11 looked as though he would not be able to continue on his feet as Ills wind was poor, but at critical times he rallied and showed wonderful strength. When the light was finished ltoferce Sheppard held his decision for a few- minutes, while the l.r.OO specta tors yelled "Kilraln" at the top of their voices. When he culled the contest a draw it met with the approval of every person in the hull. Sullivan's Opinion. At the close of the contest John L. Sullivan leaped into the ring, and grasping Kilraln by the hands, con gratulated him on his good showing and then rushed over to lteferee Shep perd declaring Hint the bout should have been decided In favor of Kilraln. Shep perd did not appear to mind John's argument, but Billy Dehmey, one of O'Doniicll's seconds, exclaimed: "Don't talk to that muttonhead," referring to Sullivan. Sullivan gave a war whoop and sprang at Delaney, who jumped from the ring nnd made for on ante room. Some of Sullivan's friends seized him, and Delaney can thank the gentlemen that he Is not now In the hospital. John fumed for a few minutes, but as the object of his anger did not put In an appearance he went out Into the cold, cold world, vowing vengeance on Delaney. - - - -FIENDISH CRIME.
