FORTIFYING MELnLA.
Spain Says That the Work VIII Soon
he Accomplished

LONDON, Nov. "a dispatch to the
Standard from Madrid says:
Warlike preparations continue on a scale
which contrasts strongly with the assur-
ance Of the foreign minister, Senior Moret,
to several of the foreign embassies that
Spain intends to respect the territorial and
political status quo in Morocco, and that
the government believes that repara tion
will be made and indemnity given about the
middle of November by the Sultan OF Mo-
rocco for the attacks made upon the Span
ish troops at Melilla.
Eight thousand men, the dispatch. adds,
are kept in readiness to start for Melflla
within twerty-four hours after notice that
they are wanted is given, while before Sun
day 1900 troops will be concentrated in
Ardalasa from the parts of which province
they could be rapidly carried to Morocco
Wa-ships and merchant vessels are con-
stantly available. In the meantime NUM-
lions of war are being forwarded to Melila
in extraordinary quantities.
The Spanish embassy in this city has re-
ceived the following dispatch from the gov
eminent at Madrid:
The destruction of Riff villages by the
guns of the Spanish warships and the forts
at Melilla, in addition to the severe pun
ishment Gen. Macias inflicted. upon the
tribesmen on October 81, has caused, the
Riffs to disappear from the vicinity of the
forts. The firing has therefore stopped all
along the line. The Spanish garrison now
consists of 5000 men. Everything leads to
the hope that the plan of erecting forts can
now be carried out"

ONLY EIGHT MISSING.
Number of Lives Lost in the City of
Alexandria Disaster Reduced.

HAVANA, Nov. 3.-The representative of
the United Press today interviewed Capt
Hoffman of the New York and Cuba Mail
Steamship Company's steamer City of
Alexandria. which was burned off Cojimer,
nesday night.
Capt. Hoffman was chary of giving de-
tails of the disaster. He said that the fire
on board the steamer originated from an
explosion, the cause Of which was I'M
known.
He added that there was only one pas
senger on board. a German named Lebin-
ger, who, in the reports received yesterday,
said to have been drowned. 1t was
said this morning, however, that he and the
stewardess, Catherine Carter, who was also
said TO have been drowned, were both saved.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3-James +. Ward &
Co.. the agents of the New York and Cuba
Steamship Company, make the following
statement this morning concerning the
burning at sea of the steamer City of
Alexandria:
I'VE cabled last evening for the names of
those missing and have this morning re-
ceived the following dispatch:
'PurSer's body found Stewardess safe
Cannot get names of those missing"
According to a careful comparison of the
names received with the crew list of the
ship, all the officers with the exception of
the purser, are accounted for. There are
fifteen names among the crew missing, but
we have seven names that are so mutila-
ted by the cable that they cannot be I'M
derstood. This would leave a balance of
eight unaccounted for.
I'VE have no further news of the disas-
ter to give. The captain and will
probably leave Havana tomorrow, per
steamer Seneca"

vantage OF having a powerful personal

laboring under, and the prospects are that
he will be defeated

Mr.. Pingree was four years ago, and ap-

the rank and file of his own party.
Detroit has congressional election as
well as municipal to choose a successor to
the late ]. Logan Chapman. The candidates
are Levi T. Griffin, democrat, and James H.

A SCARE IN LONDON.
Finding a Bomb Under the West
minister Bridge.
YARD is INVESTIGATING.
Friends Of Irish Prisoners Call It a
Political Trick.
OF A SENSATION.

LONDON. Nov. 3.-The Globe today
prints a story Of an alleged attempt to
blow up the Westminster bridge. In view
of the fact that the Globe is a conserva-
tive organ and that strenuous efforts are
being made to secure the release of the
irish political prisoners, there are not lack
ing persons who claim that the Globe $
story should be taken with reserve.
According to the Globes story a water
man employed to attend the workmen who
are employed on a temporary scaffold be-
meath the bridge found on Wednesday
last large parcel wrapped in brown pa
per on ledge of the center buttresS.
The waterman thinking that perhaps he
had found something valuable took the
parcel into his boat and made an examina-
ton OF 1t. He was Mortified to find that it
contained a conical iron bomb Weighing
about seven pounds. In the side of the
bomb was hole through which the water
man saw that the bomb contained a sub
stance with which he was not familiar. The
waterman had a bucket in his boat. This
he filled with water and immersed the bomb
in it.
The bomb was taken to Scotland Yard
The officials there were thrown into a state
or CONSERVATION when they heard the water
man 8 story and Immediately jumped to the
conclusion that there was to be repetition
OF the dynamite outrages that terrorized
London some years ago.
The bomb, still in the water bucket was
placed outdoors, and several detectives were
detailed to guard it. The inspector of ex-
plosives was at once notified of the find
He arrived at Scotland Yard in hot haste
and took charge of the bomb to examine its
contents.
Since then nothing has been heard of the
case Those who are in favor Of releasing
the Irish political prisoners sneered at the
Globes story. They say that even IL the
waterman did find a bomb beneath the
bridge it was probably put there by per-
sons interested in frustrating the attempts
to secure amnesty for the prisoners.
The story of the discovery caused some
what of a sensation when II became gen.
orally known. During the dinner hour of
the workingmen and others in the vicinity
of Westminster bridge today large crowds
gathered and gazed at the buttress where
the bomb was found and commented upon
the probable effect of an explosion there
Quite a number. of persons loitered about
Scotland Yard and vainly quizzed the police
on duty. Col. Magendie her maiestv's
inspector of explosives. is now examining
the bomb which Is nine inches long and
four inches in diameter
