Spain wiling to Make Amends for the
Allisncia incident.


Alliancia Incident.
Washington, March 1.-THE state de-
partment has received a dispatch from
Minister Taylor at Madrid. The Span
ish government has given assurance
that there will be no more repetition of
such offenses as the firing upon the mail
steamer Alliancia. The reply of the
Spanish government is couched in cour-
teous and temperate phrases, and ex-
pressed the determination of Spain to
avoid further cause of complaint on the
part of the American government AS
to the attempted detention of the ALI
amelia, the Spanish minister of foreign
affairs says he is as yet without infor-
nation and adds that as soon as he
shall have a report from the captain
general Of Cuba concerning that Incl
dent, a reply will be made to the de-
mand made in Secretary Gresham's tel
egram. While the officials of the state
department are unwilling to say any
thing whatever concerning the contents
of Minister Taylor's cablegram, it is be-
ieved the foregoing is fairly accurate
Interpretation of the dispatch
1t will be noted that the Spanish gov
eminent promptly complied with one
! Of the most important of Secretary
| Gresham's demands, which was for i'm
mediate assurances" that the war YES
sells patrolling Cuban waters should not
| give further Offense in the manner com
planned of in the Alliancia affair.
AS to the other demand made by Sec
rotary Gresham, that the Spanish gov
eminent should promptly express it's re-
grets for the detention of the Alliancia,
Mr.. Taylor responds stating the willing
ness of the Madrid government to re-
spond thereto in due time should the
facts, on investigation, prove to be in
accordance with the representations
made by the United States.

A SNAKE SWALLOWED BY \ SNAKE
Curious Explanation of an Event in Lon
dOn's Geological Gardens.

Curious Explanation of an Event in Lon
don's Geological Gardens.
Snakes are well known to be Large
eaters" but probably the most aston
ishing example of their capacity in that
role is one chronicled recently by the
London papers as having occurred at
the menagerie of the Geological So
ciety.
In one compartment of the reptile
house two large boa-constrictors were
confined. They measured eight and
nine feet respectively. One morning,
when the cage was opened, only one
snake was found. There was only one
possible explanation: the nine-foOt
snake had swallowed his eight-foot
compartment The survivors, condition
bore abundant witness to the fact that
he had eaten something. He was so
distended that the scales were almost
separated, and he was unable to coil or
to move.
The explanation of the keepers is that
he devoITed his companion by a sort
of mistake. The smaller snake was
known to have been eating a pigeon the
night before. 1t is supposed that the
larger one undertook to get the pigeon,
which was still sticking out of the other
ones jaws, and in the attempt seized
the snakes head along with the bird
The swallowing process, once begun,
went on almost mechanically, and so,
almost before he knew it, the boa was
/ playing the cannibal.
The weight of the smaller snake was
about so pounds. and it is no wonder
that after such a meal the nine-foot
snake showed signs Of being rather
/ lethargic," as one reporter says. Read
/ ers may be glad-or MOTTO know that
the creature suffered no permanent in
! jury, and is now as lively and as beau
! tifnllu iI.ridascnntn as aNer II was

Department OF State Wishes to
Avoid all False Moves.
OFFICIALS PREPARING A CASE
Marine Jurisdiction Plays Small Part
in the Responsibility OF the span
ish Government.

Washington March 1.-THE depart
ment of state is moving with delibefa-
ton in making up it's case against the
Spanish government, based on the firing
by a Spanish cruiser at the American
steamship Allancia, holding that in
matters of such moment it is absolutely
essential that our government should
be in possession of exact facts so as to
avoid the humiliation of a retraction
through making a demand that could
not be sustained by the evidence So
far no reply has been received at the
department in response 10 the request
made upon Captain Crossman of the
Alliancia for further particulars of the
incident.
In the meantime, officials are indus
triously looking up presidents for their
guidance One of the precedents which
has been brought to the attention of
Acting Secretary Uhl as having direct
bearing on the Alliancia incident was
| found in the proceedings of the Ala
| bama claims commission. In one of the
decisions announced by Judge Fitch
| the court held that there was no au-
thority for the stopping or detention of
| a mail steamer which is pursuing her
usual route. even if that route lay at
places within three miles of the shore
limit, and so within marine jurisdiction
Of the power seeking to stop the ship.
Probably based on the Alabama de-
cision above referred to, a rumor was in
circulation today to the effect that the
state department has sent sinister
warning to the Spanish government to
the effect that a declaration of war
would follow repetition of the Allan
cha affair.

HE CAN HEAR Win HIS FINGERS
An Indiana Boy Who Places His Hand on
the Throat OF the Speaker.

the Throat OF the Speaker.
There is said to be in Indiana a boy
who hears with his fingers. When he
was years old he had a very serious i'll
ness, which left him practically deaf.
For a long time the poor little fellow
led a most unhappy life because he
could not hear what was said by others;
but one day, several months ago, while
his mother was conVersing with a Wis
itor, he happened to place his hand on
her throat and observed that while his
hand rested there he could hear perfect
ly. Later on he tried the experiment
with others, and discovered that by
making use of the sense of touch in the
ball of his fingers he could make up for
all that he had lost by the trouble
which had befallen his ears. The result
is that he is a much happier lad than he
ever expected to be again. although he
finds IL awkward in some cases to have
to put his fingers on the throat Of his
friends who happen TO be talking with
him.

THE LooMIsroN TOWNSHIP SUIT
sam Siverman Wants the Old Case Re-
Opened for New Hearing.


Waterville, Wash, March FIT is
possible that the contest over the owner
ship of the ORC Elmo placer mining
claim, upon which is situated the town
of LoomistOn, may be reopened. The
entry was originally made by Sam l.
SilVerman and was contested by NapO-
leon Souvouran on the ground that the
tract was more valuable for agricul-
tural land than for mineral. The case
was heard before the local land office
a couple Of years ago. There were many
witnesses and a glittering array of legal
luminaries. The local officers decided
against Mr. Silverman. On appeal the
commissioner of the general land Of
flee sustained the local office, and upon
being carried to the secretary Of the in
terror that functionary held to the same
findings. Now Mr.. Silverman, through
his attorneys, makes a motion for a new
trial, setting forth in MS affidavit that
he has much new testimony to introduce
that would settle all question as to the
character of the land, and even init
mates that the local officers We're some
what derelict in the performance of
their duties. The case is one of consid-
cradle Importance, and mas attracted a
great deal of attention in this and Okla
hogan counties.

but had been turned off during the
morning. The Chair then said
''Mr. Heard, the Committee has de-
cided that before it can enter into any
discussion of this matter the gas must
be turned on again.
Mr.. Heard-We don't want to dis

in distress. We know that the furnace
is in an inconvenient place, and We
also know that the stuff going up there

One of the most important meetings
recently taking place at the City Hall,
was the session OF the Council Com
mittee on Health, yesterday afternoon,
called to consider the natural gas ques-
ton.
1t was lively from start to finish,
and some OF the talk on both sides was
spirited and extremely business-like.
There were several features OF de-
cided public interest. One was the
statement of General Manager Heard,
of the Gas Company, that he would be
willing TO
SURRENDER HIS FRANCHISE
to the City Council at a moments no.
tice, and another was the statement
from the Committee that the city would
not negotiate with the Company, or
even consider anything until the Com
pany turned the gas on at the crema-
tory and allowed it to remain on. A
third matter of moment was a state
ment by MIR. Heard to the effect that
in his belief the contract between the
city and the Company was OF no value,
because in granting it the city had eX-
ceeded its lawful powers, and for the
additional reason that the city itself
had violated the contract and rendered
il null and void, while the Company had
kept faith with the city up to the point
where it was
NO LONGER POSSIBLE
to furnish free gas.
The meeting was held in the chamber
Of the Second Branch of Council, and
there were present, in addition TO the
Councilmen, Health Officer Jepson, who
is by law a member of the Board Of
Health, City Solicitor Boyce and Gen
eral Manager Heard and Secretary
Hare. from the Gas Company.
The two gentlemen last named were
called out of the chamber for few
minutes. to consult Mr. John A. How
ard. their counsel. and while they were
absent. Solicitor Boyce said
Il want to say a few words to the
Committee. The Natural Gas Com
pany. without a moments warning,
turned of the gas from the crematory,
leaving big lot of garbage and rub
bish. dead horses, etc, up there, with
out means of consuming the stuff. /
want to suggest that
PENDING ANY CONFERENCE
with the Gas Company. they should
turn the gas on as it was before this
trouble. 1t was turned on last night,
but again turned off this morning.
They had 1 think, an idea that il the
Company gave the city notice the city
would apply for an injunction. l
would just as soon apply for an injunc-
ton with the gas off as with it on; in
fact. l would rather have the gas shut
of. for then the city would have plain
case of a broken contract. l think, be-
fore any conference with the Company
takes place. or there Is any discussion
whatever. Mr. Heard should be given
to understand that he must turn the
gas on. and thus restore the statu quo.
A motion to this effect was made, and
was adopted.
Nessrs. Heard and Hare having re-
turned. the Chair asked if the gas was
on at the furnace. in reply, Mr.. Heard
