FATE OF THE REINA REGENIE.
One Paper Says Her Wreck is Discovered
While Another Denies IL.

MADRID, March 2O.-El Emparclale
this morning says the report that the
wreck of the missing cruiser Reina Re-
gente had been discovered is utterly with
out foundation. The Alfonso XII, which
was sent out to search for the missing
ship has, the paper asserts, returned
from her cruise without having obtained
any news regarding the fate or the
cruiser. The Government still entertains
hope that the Reina Regente, having run
short of coal, has been blown Into the
Atlantic, and may yet be heard from.
SAYS THE CRUISER WENT DOWN.
MADRID. March 9O.--The Correspon-
dencia this morning reiterates the as
sertion that the Reina Regente has been
discovered sunk In shallow water at BaJo
Aceitanos, adding that the wreck was
lust visible at low tide. The paper also
says that the cruiser Alfonso XII. has
brought from the wreck the bodies Of
thirty OF the crew of the wrecked ship.
The Alfonso XII. will return TO the
scene of the wreck with divers and drag
ging apparatus. A cushion washed
ashore at Tarifa has been identified as
having come from the cabin of the Reina
Regente.
1t is asserted here that Admiral Pas
Quln, Minister or Mdrlne, Knows tne
truth regarding the missing cruiser, but
that no official announcement of her fate
will be printed until the new cabinet shall
have been formed. Meanwhile, Cadiz
and Carthagena, where most of the off,
GERS and crew OF the ship belonged. are
in general mourning, and the women OF
these cities are heaping maledictions
upon the heads of the Moorish Embassy,
whom they look upon as the cause OF
the disaster, as 1t was upon her return
trip from conveying them to Tangier
that the cruiser was lost.
LONDON, March pa dispatch from
San Fernandino, near Cadiz, says that
the coast near Couil, somewhat further
south, is strewn with wreckage, uniforms,
flags, and numerous other articles from
the lost cruiser Reina Regente. The Off
cials along the coast have forbidden the
people TO approach the points where the
wreckage has been cast up. ostensioly TO
prevent the scenes OF anguish which
would Recompany the search for the
bodies of friends or relatives. The OFF,
cials refuse 10 say what they are doing
10 recover bodies and wreckage. The peo-
pie here believe they are doing nothing.

Agreas With the Governor.

Mayor Richard. NJ. Taylor. when seen
yesterday in regard to the recent visit
OF the committee of the Legislature OF
Massachusetts I'm this city, said that he
had no statement to make. Governor
OFerrall had explained the matter so
fully tha. there was nothing for him to
add, and he felt convinced that Senator
Lovenstein, who also was at the execu-
tive Mansion during the visit or the
delegation, would coincide with him.
Mayor Taylor was very emphatic In his
assurance that Senator Darling was
wrong when he said that a colored man
was on the committee, for the Governor,
as we'll as himself, were fully unaware
of the fact until the man actually came
before them. The Senator from Massa-
chusetts practically admitted as much,
when during the subsequent drive through
the city, he endeavored to apologize to
the Governor on behalf of the commit
tee for ttvsS EMBARRASSING position In
which he...-i...-en placed.

TAMPA, FLA. March @.-On Saturday
three Cubans, Ricardo Fernlndez. Abelar-
do Leona and another bought tickets for
an excursion to jamaica. When they
presented their tickets at the South
Florida ticket office, this morning, they
were told by the agent that he had
orders to take them up and pay them
the money back. He first got hold of
the tickets before telling them this. They
went TO the rcrt and boarded the Mas
cote. rendering the money for passage.
But money was refused and they were
forcibly thrown from the steamer. 1t is
known that these three men had $4,000
for the revolutionis;s, and important
papers for the patriots. BY some means
the Spanish Vice-Counsul found II out
and ordered their passage cancelled. 1t
is further known that one of these Is a
brother-in-law of General Marti, the
leader of the movement.

Reported to the Director.


WASHINGTON. March 9o-Mr. Preston.
Director of the Mint, confirms the reports
of the shortage In the Carson CNevada)
mint. Mr.. Preston's information places
the shortage at $4,000. The fact that a
shortage existed was made known to the
Treasury Department early In February.
Mr.. Preston at once ordered Andrew Ma
son, of New York, to Investigate the mat
ter. He reported that 5000 ounces OF sill
yer and 1900 ounces OF gold were missing.
Hirsch Harris, the melter and refiner at
the mint, Is responsible for the loss. He
was appointed by President Cleveland

reported the shortage. Mr.. Preston Is
awaiting telegram from Mason before he
takes official action In the matter. Harris
will be suspended pending further inves-

BOSTON, MASS, March 2o.--Ex.United
States Senator Dawes has the following
to say regarding the negro Teamoh af.
fair:
Il have read the account OF a southern
trip OF committee of the Massachusetts,
Legislature with a good deal Of amaze
ment. III the account is accurate,
snail be greatly surprised IL the people
OF Massachusetts do not hold the COM
mitteemen to a strict account, and they
may find great difficulty In satisfying the
people In matter of a greater impor-
lance than any opinion of the safety Of
Massachusetts, dollars in the South.
one would think from the account
that all they represented of Massachu-
setts was the anxiety of some of her
people over the fate Of her investments
there. One looks in vain through the
whole account of their trip for the
slightest evidence that they supposed
they represented Massachusetts, tradi-
tions and principles as we'll as her dol
lars. IL would seem as II they forgot
that Massachusetts, had ordained that on
his merits Teamoh was their equal and
entitled to all the respect to which they
themselves were entitled.
when they found themselves en-
barrassed at a railroad station In North
Carolina, their embarrassment did rot
seem to arise from the fact that one
of the number was insulted, but as to
how they could get along and pocket
the insult. Is there anybody I'm Massa-
chusetts who had TO be told that there Is
no difference between permitting an In
suit to ones friend and associate and
insulting him themselves? These men
hadn't spirit enough TO come home and
report that they could not look after the
dollars of Massachusetts In any part OF
this country without leaving at home her
principles. Such report as that would
have been of more value TO Massachu-
setts than any of their ciphering on divi-
dends.
ut seems. according to the account,
when they got back to Washington. that
they did receive their colored associate
'in the lobby of the hotel, and treated
him exactly as they would under similar
circumstances in Boston, | am glad to
know that they did that much In vidi-
cation of Massachusetts principles, even
If 1t was done In the lobby. Massachu-
setts cannot afford to go back to the
days before the war. when there were
many willing to crawl before the south
ern patronage and barter northern prin-
ciples for southern gains"
