i-y-- )rpiri-' !-,-r-r--''..- .,,., 10 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY. MARCH 11. 1898. NO WARSHIPS PURCHASED Concluded from Taco l.J the threo commissioners appointed by President McKlnley to supervise the collection of a fund for the relief of the reconcontrados, who arrived here yes terday, has explained that, so far ns ho knows, there was no Intention to smuggle. Somo believes the Jewelry was sent from Interior parts of the "United States as presents, nnd the qulllty and quantity discovered seems to provo this assumption to be correct. Dr. Congostu explains that In future there will bo no detention beyond the time necessary to pass tho supplies through the custom house. The United States naval court of In quiry Into tho loss of tho battleship Initio Is quietly continuing Its work nnd lta members are as secretive as usual. So far as can be Judged there have been no Important developments recently. The ofllcera of tho Montgomery pay nnd receive the usual courtesies here, vlsltlnj; tho Spanish admiral and other Spanish olllcers, who return the visits of tho American olllcers, CAPTAIN SAMTSON" IJ..L.. Captain f-'nmpson, who has been In illspopl while on the wreck lately H somewhat 111 today, but tho doctor on the Montgomery fays he has no ap prehension of a serious olclcnoss. The Spanish divers avoid the noonday heat uorklner In the mornlns and ev ening'. Two divers were examined by the American court of Inquiry today as to their recent observations at the wreck. The woik of wreckage appears very slow. If any real progress Is I made It is scarcely apparent from day in dny. Still, it is hoped that when the upper debris has been removed to Ihe barge more bodies will be recov ered. It may 1r, however, that the last body retaining a shape recognizable as humnn has been removed from the X'alne. Chaplain Chldwick today, from descriptions In enlistment papers, Iden tified two bodies that were burled at Colon cemetery together some days ago as those of Joseph I, Gordon and John son, both colored. Tho olllcers nnd men of the Montgom ery arc still refused shore leave. They devote much time to drill and setting tip exercises, the latter exciting much Interest, especially to tho sailors on the Spanish ships, whete tho tactics are quite dllfcrent. Consul General Lee called today on Commander Converse of the Montgom ery. Tho congressional tourists are likely to remain ten days or a fortnight, as the health regulations would pre vent an earlier departure even if de sired. Ten o'clock tomorrow morning h'as been fixed for the call of ceremony on General Blanco. There is official au thority for the statement that the Spanish court of Inquiry will make its decisions public as soon as reached. Next Thursday there will be an in fluential gathering at the palace under the chairmanship of General Illanco, to promote the purchase of a warship to be called the Island of Cuba. On Sunday night a dynamite bomb destroyed a railway culvert near Ks peranza, province of Santa Clara. SPAIN AWAKENING. Political and Financial Circles Ho nlizc the (Jrnvify ol the Situation. Madrid, March 10. Political and fin ancial circles here now fully realize that Spain Is facing a grave problem. In view of the attitude of the United States, It Is undersood, the Spanish government has completely changed its policy toward Cuba, and Is now moving the co-operation of the Cuban constitution party, urging the main tenance ot the volunteers and the push ing of tho campaign against the In surgents thus given the military pol icy predominance over diplomacy. This change Is due to tho fear that the Rad ical Autonomists insisted upon the dis armament of the volunteers or incited the Constitutionalists to disaffection, a conflict would supervene, affording the United States an opportunity for an armed Intervention." The presence In Madrid of the Span ish ambassador to France, Senor Leon Castillo, has started rumors to tho ef fect that Senor Gallon, the Spanish minister for foreign affairs, Is about to resign and that ho will lie replaced by Senor Castillo. This is, however, dented in official circles, where it Is raid the visit of Senor Castillo is con neetcd with the government's negotia tions to obtain the support of France and Russia, which Is favored by all parties, Including the Carllsts and Re publicans, as there Is a general feeling that In the event of war the radical and commercial Interests of Great Brit ain will impel her to side with the United States. It is understood that tho first effect of the understanding with France will be that Spain will re ceive financial assistance In order to avert her national bankruptcy. Senor Sapasta, the premier, denies the rumors of ministerial changes. He says: "The responsibilities of power under present conditions are certainly not agreeable, but nil the ministers re gard it as a question of honor to re main at their posts." Senor Leon Castillo, the Spanish am bassador to France, will soon return to Paris. Senor Gullon declared to a Journalist thnt after President McKlnley's dec laration no Importance should be at tached to the arrival of the Montgom ery at Havana. The report of a rising at Uollnao, near Manila, Philippine Isl ands, Is confirmed officially. A portion of the garrison has been beseiEed, but there has been no one killed. WORK OF THE RED CROSS. All Aro Astonished nt tho Good Re tulti-.An Opinion ol the Viscnyn. Havana, via Tampa, Flo., March 9 (delayed in transmission). Senator Proctor, before leaving for Key "West by the Olivette today after what ho calls "a most profitable two weeks in Cuba," said "I have not had an easy time. I havo seen all from tho highest and the richest merchant to the need iest reconcentrado and the luunblest paclflco, bankers' officers' olllclals and others. I havo visited the military prison, hospitals, relief depots, asy lums, guard houses, trochas, farms, of fices and homes. I have been in four provinces Havana, Pinar del Rio, Mat nnzas and Santa Clara, and in tho prin cipal cities of each. I am of an ob servant turn of mind, and I kept my eyes open. "I have found out what I could not possibly have learned without a per eonal visit, while I havo not to my knowledge antagonized a single per son on the island. My trips with Miss Parton have been of great service, be-fc-jjj?u when ihe minds of neonlo are mellowed by gratitude, their hearts speak out tho truth. As a business man I wish to nay that Miss Barton's methods of receiving, caring for and distributing the supplies are most ad mirable, I am surprised at her ability and delighted nt the results attained. The American people may be fully oon dent that nil money or supplies sent will be conscientiously applied. Could they see, ns I have seen, the suffering, starvation and death, .they would, ns Whlttler says "pour forth wine and oil." TCvery ono is much struck by the success of tho American orphanage which the Red Cross society has estab lished in a handsome villa In tho suburb Oerro, under the charge of Dr. Lesser nnd of his wife ns matron. It Is for tho orphan reconcentradoes. Al though open for a few days only, It now holds thirty-six happy youngsters to whom the place st-ems heaven, so clean and comfortable is it. There Is room for a hundred, but nil the places will soon be taken tip. In connection with tho orphanage n dally clinic Is held. The Cuban doctors are much Interested In Red Cross work, and forty patients were treated yester day. Dr. Lesser h'as refused the de- mand of the Spanish government that he should pay $100 for the privilege of pi-acl Icing among tho poor, saying that the Red Cross physicians aro al lowed to practice all the world over. Thus far his work has not been Inter fered nor Is It likely to be. There Is a good deal of comment about propositions to the insurgents by the radical wing of tho Autonomist party. The Spaniards say the Auton omists' programme promiscr; nothing but sorrow nnd war while General Gomez himself has offered $150,000,000 and a favorable commercial treaty with Spain If Independence Is granted. Moreover, they soy that the Autono mists programme to disarm the vol unteers would mean independence if carried out, since the insurgents would not be disarmed. ESTIMATE OF THE VISCAYA. As an indication of the estimate put upon the Vlscaya and the Almlrante Oquendo, sister fihips, by naval offi cers here, a remark of one of them made today is worth reporting. The olllcer was standing with this corres pondent on tho quay watching the Vls caya ns she swung with the tide. "Yes." ho observed quietly, "she Is a beautiful ehlp, but too big a mark. The Iowa, for Instance, could not miss her with a single shot at reasonable fighting range, and would be llnely to blow her boilers out In the first ten minutes." The same officer said: "The Pelayo Is a really formidable battle ship, but smaller and less dangerouH than our Massachusetts." There Is some talk here to the effect that the American government has arranged for laying a cable from Key West to the Tortugas, as the latter Is the best rendezvous for the lleet, since tho largest ships are able to coal there in all sorts of weather. Henri Lane, the newspaper corres pondent, was not compelled to leave the country because of newspaper work, but because of written charges, accompanied by alleged full proof fur nished to the Autonomic government by Senor Rruzon, governor of Havana province, that he nnd others were In volved In the conspiracy responsible for locating 23 dynamite bombs at vari ous points in Havana. Senor Bruzon demanded the expulsion of all news paper correspondents on the ground that sensational stories sent to the United States were liable to create rlot In Havana. The Marquis dl Mon toro and Senor Govin opposed a whole sale deportation, saying that the mat ter was very serious nnd that it was the duty of the Autonomic govern ment not only to preserve peace In Havana but to promote good feeling with the United States. Furthermore, they contended that not all the cor respondents should be under the ban. but that selections should be made of tho guilty. They concluded their reply to Senor Bruzon by saying that it would be unwtee to expel any corres pondents while the court of inquiry was In session, lest it would seem that the Spaniards dreuded the publication of the truth about the Maine explo sion. They demanded additional writ ten charges, with proofs, from Senor liruzon. This was four days aco nnd nothing has been forthcoming. It Is probable, however, that certain corres pondents will be asked to leave the Island when the American court of In quiry finishes Its work. WILLIAMSPORT HAS ONE. Moro Opinions Concerning tho De struction ot tho .Hiiliin. Willlamsport, Mar-ii 10. The par ents of Johnson L.

"Wo havo two divers who were down In the Maine and are waiting to give their testimony at the court of Inquiry. They will not be allowed to communi cate with .the shore till the court Is over.

New York, March 10. Today's stock market showed a further contraction In the volume of dealings and an apa thetic tone to the trading which Indi cated the prevailing disposition to re- fran from speculative actvlty until con ditions become more settled. There Is continued uneasiness regarding the Cuban situation which finds Its reflec tion In the large offerings of securities on any substantal advance. It Is the public sentiment, also, that the present conditions so far as they are known, do not warrant a further violent de cline in prices. There was a strenuous attempt In the early dealings today to mark up prices with the purpose of pinching small bear traders and prob ably also for the purpose of realizing at the higher level. This manoeuvre, which proved so successful yesterday and Tuesday, brought out such abund ant offerings that it was soon aban doned and the bears retained control of the field for the rest of the day. Total sales were 283,100 shares. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN ALLEN & CO.. stock brokers, Meurs building, rooms 703-706. Open- lllrh- Low- Clos- .. log. est. ent. ln. Am. Cot. Oil HU 17U 17 17 Am. Sug.
