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.

A HERMIT'S SECRET.
UlcRcd That It Will Hevo!ut1ono the
l.mhulmlnR Art.
(Muncle, Ind., March 18. An under
iker at ited Key claims ho has se
, tired a secret from an hermit which
promises to revolip' the art of em
balming. He Ie . .- J It of an aged
man who lived In"' tho mountains of
West Virginia, In a lonely cabin, and
residents of the neighborhood believed
him Insane and that his house was
- hauuU-d. A visit to the hermit's cabin
was paid by the undertaker and a
friend. 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 first experiment with
the fluid will be made in a medical col
lege In lialtlmore, Md.
BALDWINS PROTECTED.
All V ilkcs-llarro Rallies to the llnnncr
of the White Muhutnins.
Wllkes-Murre. March 18. The Ameri
can love of fair play predominated here
today, .and Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Baldwin,
the "White Mahutmas," were dis
charged from custody by Alderman
Zelgler.
The cases, two In number, were
brought by Constables Gallagher and
Mulvey, who are now under bonds for
blackmail, and a lawyer named Her
ring, on a charge of necromancy and
witchcraft. The cases stirred up the
whole city, and the best element of all
classes rallied to the Baldwins' sup

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.
One .Man killed und Another lutully
Stubbed In a Ouorrul.
Berwick, Pa., March 18. One man
killed and another fatally stabbed were
the results of a tight in a saloon here
Saturday night. William C. Pleas is
lying at the point of death with a fear
ful gash In the abdomen, while the
body of the other victim was found
several miles from here today. His
name Is unknown.
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.

DISCOVERS A SALOON.
New York Divine Receives a Decided
Shock nt n Leavenworth Hotel,
Leavenworth, Kan., March 1S. Ilev.
Joseph L. Hurlliut, of New York, secre
tary of the Sunday School union, a tract
society of the iMethodlst Kplscopnl
church, arrived In Leavenworth today
to address the Methodist Kplsropal con
ference. Waiting with other dignitaries
of the church for dinner he Inadvertent
ly saw between two open doors a bar In
all Its regal splendor.
Starting with surprise, lie articulated
with a gasp: "Is that a bar? Is there
such a thing ns a bnr In Kansas?" The
doctor was assured that the sight was
not an uncommon one. Dr. Hurlbut
became so engrossed In the subject Hint
he forgot about dinner until reminded
of It by his colleagues.

DUCHESS FURNISHED CASH.
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.

All Kcuding Women Are I'rged to Arm
Themselves.
Beading, Pit.. March IS. A woman
of this city made a rather startling pub
lic announcement today. She urges all
women and girls who are obliged to
be on the street after dark to arm
themselves with pistols or red pepper.
Shu complains of ninny outrageous In
sults offered to women here, and de
clares It Is time for them to act. This
Injured woman says that If the law
prohibits the carrying of a pistol, red
pepper can be used as an Instrument
of protection.
She says: "Any lady can devise a
plan to carry enough pepper to protect
herself. It should, of course, only be
used when there la Imminent duuger,
or where a man lays hand upon the
person he attacks."

Boston, March 18. After an absence
of four years from tho ring, Jake Kll
raln, of Baltimore, faced Steve O'Don
nell, of Australia, better known as Cor
nell's sparring partner, for eight rounds
tonight at the Suffolk Athletic club.
The contest was declared a draw
amid the wildest excitement, the like of
which lias never been witnessed in Bos
ton. Kilraln hud plenty of sympathiz
ers, among them John L. 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.

ed. They came Into court this morn
ing ufter n day's rest with red eyes and
haggard cheeks, instead of the merry,
half-dcllnnt air they wore a week ugo.
Both looked as If sleep hud been a
stranger to their pillows and ns It they
had given up hope of easy acquittal.
Behind Sucllo sut her sister, Mrs. Hun
ter, and the courtroom had Its usual
upjiinkllng of women among the spec
tators. Police Superintendent Bull was the
first witness, lie swore to the confes
sion made and signed by Sudle at po
lice headquarters us having been writ
ten by District Attorney Kennellck and
sworn to by the defendant. The state
ment was read by Mr. Kenneflck.
Counsel for the defendants objected.
The court held that It should bo ex
cluded as to Clarence Robinson, but
admitted as to Sadie Robinson. Tho
statement was Sadie's story of how the
attempt at highway robbery was frus
trated by the resistance made by GIbbs,
and alleging that Clarence fired all
three shots.
Superintendent Bull testified further
that Mrs. Boblnuon, after making the
statement, had visited the scene of the
murder with Mr.Cusack and himself,
and was shown where the assault took
place and where she had made her es
cape over u wire fence, tearing her
trousers In the climb. The cartridge
shells picked up ill the lot back of the
Van Vlecks', where Sadie i-ald they
had been drawn by Clarence from his
revolver, were produced and Identified
by the superintendent. His testimony
corroborated that of Mr. Cusack given
previously and was unshaken by cross
examination. CENTRAL C0XFKBK.ME.
