A saucy spanish Newspaper

KEY WEST, March 2O.-La Union Con-
sttutiondl, a semi-ofIlcial newspaper at
Havana, reviews the allegations of tho
Allianca case and gives the opinion that
if the vessel was really fired upon tho
Spanish commander was fully justified.
IL says the Spanish navy is sunconquerable.
and adds: ut would be well for tho
United States to bear this in mind in con-
tentions that may arise through adven-
turers and traitors who make war on
Spain and her noble sons; and let that
nation remember that the laws of neu-
trality were made by nations that know
how TO respect them.D

THE FACTS COMING OUT.
Minister Thurston Guilty of UndipIo-
matte Conduct.

Minister Thurston Guilty of UndipIo-
matte Conduct.
WASHINGTON. March 20.-An intimate
friend of Mr.. Thurston, now in Washing
ton, says that Thurston has no official in
formation as TO the request of his recall
while at the same time no has no doubt
that such suggestion will be made to the
Hawaiian government. 1t is likely, how
ever, that Thurston will continue to look
after Hawaiian interests in an unofficial
manner.
Thurston's friends say, as a matter of
fact, that he has never been treated at
the state department as other ministers
have been treated. 1t is intimated that
Frank Hatch may be selected TO succeed
Thurston.
It.was learned late this afternoon that
the Hawaiian minister is accused in adj
dition to giving out facts, of having instr
gated newspaper articles in New ork pa
pers of attacking the administration. A
New York newspaper of Feb. 13 con-
tanned a Washington dispatch stating
Minister Thurston had received official
advices of the sentance passed upon tho
alleged conspIrators in the late insurrec-
tion. The names and other important
data we're given. Two days later Secre-
tary Gresham sent for Minister Thurs
ton. He took Ihurston into his private
room and in a white rago accused him of
having given Official information to an
American newspaper before communicate
ing to the department.. Secretary Gresham
says the Hawaiian minister admitted his
act had been "undIplomatic." The en-
try on the state department records states
this fact and 1t IS important, as the re-
cords will form the official history of the
occurrence. Minister Thurston to-day de-
clined to say whether he ad mitted IT was
undiplomatic. 1t was remarkable adj
mission for him TO make if he did, under
the spell of Secretary Gresham's sweat
box. Old diplomats say such an admis-
sion from diplomat would forever dis
qualify him for future service in his
chosen field and would cover him with
everlasting disgrace. Records OF the state
departmet show that the Hawaiian min
lister admitted he had been guilty Of an
undiplomatic act, but declined TO comply
with Secretary Gresham's request to put
the fact in writing.

Special Dispatch to the STANDARD
HELENA, March Ex-Governor Richards,
after consultation with the veterinary
surgeon, to-day issued a proclamation
prohibiting the Importation of sheep into
the state from certain districts under GER
tain conditions. Contagious diseases such
as scab exist in many parts of the West,
and while Montana sheep are compara-
lively free from them, it is feared dis
eases will spread if sheep of the afflicted
districts are allowed to be brought in for
range purposes. The governor therefore
bars out all sheep from Oregon, Nevada,
California, Washington, Wyoming, Idaho,
Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma and New Mex
leo. He forbids the importation of sheep
into the state from any of the above
scheduled districts except upon the cer-
tificate of state veterinarian or deputy
that such sheep are free from contagious
diseases, or except upon special permit
of the veterinarian. No person transport.
ing sheep through the state by rail will be
allowed to Craze the animals on any range
inside the state without permit from the

He is quoted as saying that he found the
executive all right and Secretary Carlisle
business-like and reasonable. According
TO Wilson, Carlisle states he would rather
not touch a cent of the debt than that the
Central Pacific should be subjected to the
pound of flesh principle. The govern
ment, Sir Charles added, was prepared 10
accept the principal, foregoing the inter
est, but in his opinion the result was
doubtful, owing to the temper of congress
which, he is quoted as asserting, contains
some wild people socialistically."

GuateIna alan Minister Does Not Look for
War with Mrxic,.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The state
ment was published in n local paper here
to-day that the Mexican congress would
declare war on Guatemala as soon as the
congress assembled next month and a
long account of the reasons therefor was
given. When the article was shown to the
Guatemalan minister, with the request
that he state the actual condition of tho
Guatemalan-Mexica affair, he said |:
This article contains several incorrect
afiirmations. 1t is not true that the Qua
temalan authorities invaded Mexican ter
ritory, for the simple reason that
we do not like to offend
any other nation. Through that the
responsibility of the delay IN the survey
of the boundary line rests upon Guate-
mala, because the Guatemalan boundary
commission of engineers has worked AL
ways ahead of the Mexican commission
during the last eight years. II is not true
that the Guatemalan government has re-
ceivcd large revenue for concessions to
cut timber; this concession was almost
invariably made in favor of Mexican citi-
zens and the revenue received from this
source is almost insignificant.
"As far as am informed" continued
he, II do not sec the reason why peace
full settlement of the pending difficulties
might not be soon reached"

Madame la Mode showers SO many
artistic novel designs and shades OF
colors on the new cotton fabrics that it
will not be the fault of her toilette ii the
summer girl is not a picture this season.
The new cOttOns are not only exquisite
in ornament and elegant in effect, but
they are, what is most desirable OF all,
inexpensive, and when made up accord
ing to the latest caprice OF Ia Mode, they
are dreams of beauty and daintiness.
Lovely creped challies come in q variety
of Dresden effects. Sometimes the whole
gown is scattered with exquisite bios
SONS or Ornamented with d charming
Dredsen border.
One can not imagine the fascinating
and fairy like effect of the new lowered
lawns trimmed with gauze Pompadour
ribbons combined with embroidery or
lace. One beautiful imported gown OF
green organdie is so exactly the shade Of
June grass that with the perfectly colored
wild flowers scattered over it, the effect
brought to the mind is vision of fresh
country fields with bright blossoms. The
very full paysanne skirt liz made over q
foundation slip of pale violet silk. A
black gauze ribbon painted with butter
cups and tied in knots at intervals Dor

corsage is trimmed in fichu effect with
delicate null embroidery and the same
buttercup ribbon.
As for points ofinformatiOnco concerning
street gowns, the dropping waists, large
sleeves and full skirts increase in
popularity.
Modistes from Paris bring skirts very
wide, but less stiffened than formerly.
The average width is five or six yards at
the foot and close fitting about the hips.
Those like the design on first page of La
Node de Paris for June are especially
popular.
An exquisite little summer gown is
illustrated in the Paris Fashion Letter
of the Paris Album of Fashion. The most
charming and picturesque group of chill
dren's summer costumes and dainty
little bonnets are seen in La Mode. The
very toilette ON the cover of the Frcnc:
