SURPRISED TIE sPAN1ARD.
GRESHAM,

WAsH1SGroS, March 15.-Secretary
Gresham's peremptory demand to
Minister Taylor at Madrid for a
prompt explanation of the Alliance
affair was a manifest surprise to the
Spanish minister, Senior Muruaga.
The minister did not say that lntor-
nation was entirely unexpected. but
he did not hesitate to express his sur
prise and regret that the United
States government had acted ap-
parently so hastily in sending such
a telegram to Minister Taylor with
out hearing both sides of the case.
When asked what the Spanish
government would probably do in re.
gard. to this matter, the minister said:
Il do not think my government will
make any reply until it shall FIRST have
heard from the governor general Of
Cuba. Up to the present time the
governor general had been placed in
possession of 10 information leading
him to believe that the Alliance had
been fred upon had. a telegram
from him last night stating that the
naval commander at Havana had
telegraphed to the local authorities
at Santiago de Cuoa and Gibara, two
OF our coast cities. for full particulars
of the alleged firing upon the Allan
ca. Gibsra is near the spot where
the outrage is said to have been
committed. Up to a few hours ago,
no report had been made to the local
authorities and have been inclined
to believe that Captain Crossman was
romancing. 1t seems incredible to
believe that one of our gunboats
could have Gone as Captain Cross
man reports without having acqualnt-
ed the naval commander at Havana
with his action.

An Apology Asked.
The Flag of the Union Must
be Respected.

MADRID, March 15.-Mr. Rannis
Taylor, American minister, presented
to the minister of foreign affairs to-
day a demand from his government
for apology and regret from the gov
eminent of Spain on account of the
Alliance affair. Taylor's action was
based on the following dispatch from
Secretary of State Gresham, dated
Washington, yesterday:
"This department is informed that
on the 9Th inst. the United States
mail steamer Allianca, on her home
ward voyage from Colon to New
York, when six miles from the coast
of Cuba, off Cape Maysi. was repeat
edly fired upon by a Spanish gun
boat with solid shot, which, fortunate
ly, fell short The Windward Pas
sage where this occurred is a natural
and usual passage for vessels plying
between the ports of the United
States and the caribbean Sea
Through it. several regular lines of
American mail commercial steam,
ers pass weekly within sight of Cape
Maysi. They are we'll known, and
their voyage embraces no Cuban port
of call Forcible interference with
them cannot be claimed IS a belli-
gerent right, whether they pass with
in three miles of the Cuban coast or
not, and can under no circumstances
be tolerated when no state of war
exists
"This government will accept a
prompt disavowal of the unauthorized
act and due expression of regret on
the part of Spain. And it must IN
sist that immediate and positive
orders be given to Spanish naval
commanders not to interfere with
legitimate American commerce pass
ing through that channel, and prohi-
biting all acts wantonly imperilling
life and property which is lawfully
ander the flag of the United States.
"You will communicate this to the
minister of foreign affairs and urge
the Importance of a prompt and salts
factory response. (Signed)
GRESHAM.

An Apology Won't Obliterate
the Insult.

New YORK, March lS.-The fol-
lowing cablegram was received by
the New York Times to-day from
William C. Whitney, ex-Secretary
of the Navy, in reply to a message
sent him by Charles R. Miller the
editor of the Times:
NAPLES, March Is.
To the Editor of the New York
Times:
1 reply to your dispatch as follows:
Including what should be done
concerning the outrage perpetrated
by the Spanish man-of-wa. in firing
upon the steamer Alliance one fact
should not be lost sight oft was
deliberate and with full knowledge OF
the act.
1t is certain that no person in COM
mand of any war vessel in the world
would be ignorant that firing upca a
merchant vessel of another power on
the high seas in time of peace would
violate the law of nations. There is
not a subordinate officer of any man
of-war in the world who has not been
sufficiently in%structedto know that. 1t
is, therefore, a case of wilful insult to
the American flag and people.
| do not recall so wanton an out
rage as happening to any first class
power in fifty years. An apology
scarcely wipes out such all afront.
The truth is we have happened to
come in for a piece Of the general
brutality and ruf6anism that holds
Cuba. The thing is a relic Of the
middle ages. 1t is a disgrace to us
that lies at our doorsteps. 1t makes
my blood boil, for one. Of course
they will apologize deliberately and
discipline the officers But when we
are looking toward him, the general
terrorism which holds Cuba down
while they suck her blood, will have
been substantially increased at our
expense.
You can gather what my opinion
is. What the government should do
is another matter. The President in
such matters, is generally a safe per-
son to follow, but as you ask my
opinion, there it is:
WM. C. WHITNEY.
