THE FORM SITUATIOH
Subjects Considered at Yesterday's
Cabinet Mectinij,
NO DEFINITE ACTION TAKEN
Administration Lives In Hopes That
Tangled Affiiirs Will Adjust Them,
selves-l'orhaps Spain Is fright
ened Thurston's Position.
Washington, March -L'.' Tho cabinet
met-tinf: Unlay is SHid to have been de
void of any detlnlte results with refer
ence to the foreign situation, in lVKiifd
to Nicaragua and Venezuelan mutters.
Tlii impression is Riven out that there
is little danger that Great liritnln will
resort to harsh measures towards
Nicaragua. The term "ultimatum" Is
regarded ns being altogether ton'hlglt
tlown a word to be applied to the Brit
ish request for reparation for alleged
wrongful expulsion of a consular otll
cer. The alleged attitude of (treat
Hrltaln and licrmuuy towards Venezu
ela Is a subject upon which further In
formation is desired before' action is
taken. In the event of Germany send
ing a war ship to collect money due
Herman subjects by Venezuela, there
can be ilo doubt the lierlin government
will be informed, as was done In the
recent case of France and San Domingo
that the railed States views with dis
favor any attempt to collect a private
loan by force nf arms. The Thurston
matter. It is understood, will remain in
abeyance until March L'T, when a
steamer Is due from Honolulu, which
will probably bring otllelal advices
hearing on the subject nf Mr. Thurs
ton's recall.
It appears to be the belief in state
department circles that Spain is not
disposed to make any decided stand
against the demands of this govern
ment in the Alliaaert matter. The
situation In Cu'm and the cabinet crisis
at Madrid are pointed to as reasons
why the Spanish government is anxious
at this time to remain on good terms
with the I'r.lted States, and it Is pre
dicted tint Spain will wave part of
what sli believes to be her rights in
the questions at issue jfcid meet this
government half way.
Will Not 1- llarj on V, i-n-aj-n.
On the other hand, it is said, that the
Washington administration is willing
to kiss by. for the present at least, any
alleged n 1 1 1 i a nc s of S. nor Mui uaga,
the Spanish minister, that may be con
strued as uncomplimentary to Secre
tary Orvsh.im.
U is otticially slated that Spain will
m ike no reply to Secretary (In sham's
tolegram through Minister Taylor re-g-jrding
the Allianrn case until the re
port of the naval commander nt Ha
vana, who is invest igating the inci
dent, shall be In the hands of the
office of foreign affairs.
The Soanlsh government feels that it
would be unwise to commit itself to any
reply until it first shall have been
placed In po ssession of all tho informa
tion bearing upon the action taken by
the captain of their gunboat. There (s
high otlicial authority for the statement
that Spain thus far has only stated to
the United Slab's governm. tit. through
Minister Taylor, that the disposition of
the Spanish government it to act fairly,
and that a detailed answer will be
made to Secretary !resham's despat"h
at the very moment the govij-nmeiit Is
In jKisltioii to speak intelligently. N'o
apology, however, has l,i mi made, n.,r
will any be mad" until Spain is batia
fled that it is proper she should do so.

Cleveland, March 2.'. Jcus Mali
Alonzo Pinzon, a Spanish giandee of
the third rank, ami umloubb -dly a de
scendant of( tli" great companion of
Columbus, has born spending several
weeks In Cleveland, living strictly in
cognito and unrecognized, save by an
old army comrade of the c.uat' nialan
War of 1S.-,. He 1, ft the city late ,s-t
night for the cant, where he will conf- r
with the sympathizers before going
south to Join the revolutionists.
Plnzon. who Is immensely wealthy,
Is a man of dccid-ly Republican tend
encies, having traveled and observed
much. , lb- Is rhert fore an object of sus
picion to the government, though no
taint of disloyalty has ever rested upon
him, and he has been, In nn uriolllelal
way, a strong supporter of Spain's for
eign and colonial policy. Monday Pln
zon received a dispatch from his Paris
agent, notifying him that his estate in
Arragon had been confiscated, and that
It would not be advisable for him to
place himself within Ihe power of the
crown ofllcers.
The don spoke very bitterly of Ihe
way his government had treated him,
nnd said tonight that he would Im
mediately place the balance of his for
tune and his own services nt Ihe orders
of the Cuban lenders. As he Is a grad
uate of the Kcole de Mllllalre at Paris,
and has served as a volunteer in four
wars, he Is abundantly capable of com
manding a regiment or n brigade ac
ceptably, and with the money at his
command can easily arm and equip any
number that may be raised.

Their servants were Kngllshmen and

murdered men are C. J. Hamerford

FLYING MACIIINi:.
Inventor Amcry Tries In Vain to Make
. Ills I IvIiir Machine Work.
New York, March 22. Inventor
Charles T. Amery tried his flying ma
chine, built on the albatross principle,
again yesterday. At the foot of One
Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, on
Amsterdam avenue, on the rlHe of u hil
lock, the machine was laid out.
All being prepared, Mr. Amery put
hit, legs through the meshes of ,the
hammock and, raising the structure
above his head, attempted to run with
It. At this time there was a stilt breeze
from the northwest blowing In his face.
He dtaggcrod a stride or two beneath
the weight of Ills wings.
At length he reached a ledge, three
feet high by the roadway, sprung once
and plumped Into the deep mud In a
sitting posture. He wus unable to ex
tricate himself, but was drugged out,
hi 11 smilling hopefully through the
thick coat of mire which clung to him.
He hal his unwieldy wings carried
to the top of a rocky bluff and again
poised on the brink with a 10-foot
diop to strong ground before him.
Then he jumped and fell with a thud
that raised a shout, of lun'ror from the
crowd. He wus pulled out considerably
shaken, but not seriously Injured and
still iHUrmined. Ills last Jump was
Into the mud of a roadway, ami as usual
the wings would not support him.

Seeking llonors-W ould He In l uvor of
Mr. Keed.
New York, March 22. The Recorder
tomorrow will print the following Inter
view with Kxectitive Chairman of the
Republican National Committee Joseph
11 Mauley, who w ill sail tomorrow for
Italy.
"I want n lonir rest," said the chair
man, "and 1 am going to take it In the
form of a lluropeau trip lasting about
four months. 1 do not conceal from
any one that I am an ardent friend of
.Mr. Heed, and that personally 1 shall
be delighted to see him receive the
nomination for president.
"The eyes of the country are focused
upon him. and his ability Is not ques
tioned. We certainly hope to nomi
nate him and we shall go into conven
tion animated and enthused with that
purpose.
"1 have seen It stated that ex-Senator
Palmer has sahl that ex-l'iesHlent Har
rison was not a candidate. 1 do not
suppose that he Is a candidate In the
sense of Seeking It. No ex-presldellt
ever is a candidate, but he is supposed
to remain docile in the hands of his
friends. 1 hear, however, that Mr.
Rathhone ami several others are work
ing for the ex-president's nomination.
It Is seldom that any one ever refuses
a presidential nomination, whether
brought about by friends or through
concentration of fortuitous circum
stances. "I want ihe next convention to be
held in San Kram-iscu. I speak only
for myself now. I see that -dr. l'ayne
favors this city: i iovernor . McKinley's
friends want Pittsburg, and Senator
Allison's friends say Chicago. What
does Mr. Keed want? Oh. now. Mr.
Heed will be sat it-tied with anything.
What's the matter with Boston?
"Perhaps I ought not to talk about
future campaign plans, but 1 say that
I think it would be wise for the Re
publican party to begin Its preliminary
work as early as next September or
October. It is well to Sew the Seed
early."
SOCIETY IS SOUND.
Baptist Missionary I nion Able to Take
Care of Its l iabilities.
R.jston, March 22. K. P. Coleman,
treasurer of the American Baptist Mis
sionary union, said today regarding the
report that the union was In son' linan
clal straits, that ho was at a loss to
understand how such a statement could
have got abroad.
"This society Is abundantly able to
take care of its liabilities." said he. "It
Is true that we have setu out to Un
churches asking for assistance, but this
is something which Is done every year,
and we could borrow any amount of
money need for that matter. Wo
can say that th--r" is no truth In the
rumor that the society is in sore finan
cial straits."

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Dun & Company's Weekly Review of
Trade More Kosy Than a .Midsummer
Sunset.
New York, March 22. II. O. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Indications of Improvements In busi
ness grow more distince. The most ob
trusive of them, the speculative ad
vance in cotton ami In stocks, Is the
least reliable, nor can cither of these
be said to reflect actual improvement
In business cotultlons. Hallrnad earn
ings are scarcely better, and the specu
lation is largely based on expectation
of more elTcctive monopoly In coal and
some other products. London was buy
ing largely, but Is as likely to sell on
any rise. Cotton does not rise because
there Is more demand for goods, but
theru Is more demand for goods because
cotton Is dearer. More valuable Indica
tions are that the volume of domestic
trade gains a little. Money Is In much
better legitimate demand, nnd the force
of hands at work gradually Increases
In some Industries, and In others Is re
stricted only by strikes whl. h are pre
sumably temporary.
The advance in wages of coke work
ers raises the cost of fuel for a large
proportion of the iron manufacturers,
but us yet does not affect the prices of
Iron or Its products, as no increase in
demand appears.
The failures during the past week
have been 2TS In the I'nlted States
against 24i last year, and :!." In Canada
against f,0 hist year. The liabilities,
however, have been nearly !t:!.niui,0m)
more than the corresponding week of
last year.
