His Secretary Says No Letter OF With
drawal Has Been Written.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-When interro-
gated to-day as to the truth of the New
York Times report that he has withdrawn
from the contest for the presidential nom
nation, which was telegraphed by the AS
ISOLATED Press last night. Senator Hill sim
ply said: ION the eve of the national con-
vention do nat propose personally either
to admit or deny any sensational canard
which may be circulated by political
enemies. have nothing further to say"
John Birmingham, his private secretary,
said, however: There is no truth in the
New York Times statement 1t is made
out Of whole cloth. No such letter has been
written or contemplated. Ii is a specimen
mugwump lie, conceived and designed to
injure Senator Hill and to aid the mug
wump candidate. 1t Is impossible
for the Times to tell the truth
in reference to anything relating to
Senator Hill. The public for the next two
weeks should be prepared for all sorts of
canards emaneting from the same source.
The Times Is Mr.. Cleveland's personal
organ and it is easy to see where these false
stories originate, and for whose benefit they
are manufactured

Troops Called in to Restore Order and
One Convict Killed.
MADRID, June 10.-An outbreak occurred
yesterday in the prison at Seville. It has
been customary for the prison officials
to allow the prisoners to play
cards and to amuse themselves in
various ways, and yesterday some
prisoners who were engaged In gambling
with cards. became involved in dispute
Other prisoners, a large number Of whom
had been watching the game, took sides in
the dispute, and finally general
fight was started. The prison yards
were soon filed with enraged
men rolling on the ground, striking,
hitting and scratching. The guards sought
powerless to restore order. The fighters
seemed bent upon killing each other, and q
number of murders would certainly have
been committed had the prisoners been pos
sessed of weapons of any kind. The
prison officials at last summoned the mill
uary, and as a detachment of troops marched
into the prison yard the prisoners
ceased fighting among themselves and
turned their attention 10 the soldiers
They refused to return to their cells
at the order Of the officers in command,
and eventually the soldiers were ordered to
charge with fixed bayonets. This was
done. and the prisoners were driven in all
directions by the soldiers in their quarters
One of the prisoners was killed by bayo-
net thrust, and several others were
seriously wounded.
