As to Whether Spain Has
Answered America.
Trouble May Occur Before Spanish
Naval Commanders Get Orders.

wAsHINGroS, March lo.-An irnpene-
trable mystery surrounds the negotiations
between the state department and the
Spanish government on the Alliance af-
fair.
IL seems TO have been borne in mind by
the officials of the state department, from
the secretary down, that In the present
excited state of public feeling in this
country better progress can be. made to-
ward a peaceable settlement OF the Incl
dent by keeping tho various notes secret
than by giving publicity TO them before
conclusion has been reached.
Therefore the only response to definite
inquiries that can be obtained is a positive
refusal to discuss the subject in any aspect
and whether or not any action has yet
been taken by the Spanish government in
the direction of issuing instructions 10 its
naval officers to refrain from further in
reference with American shipping will
probably bc learned first from Havana,
from which point the orders will be dis
tributed.
Possibilities of Further Trouble.
As the little gunboats are widely scat
tered along the Cuban coast and neighbor-
ing waters, it will not be an easy task TO
communicate these orders speedily to all
of them. so IL is just possible that there
may be some further incident, similar TO
the Alliance affair, before these orders are
made known to the Spanish naval COM
manders.
1t appears i'm the light Of events OF this
kind In the past that the commanding
officers of the smaller craft arc not always
of high degree of intelligence or rank,
for in cases where they have detained
American ships they have found 1t neces-
sary to hold the ship for several days in
order that they might fall in with another
and larger cruiser with an officer aboard
of sufficient intelligence to read and pass
upon the adequacy of the captive's papers.
VIII Come Out All Right
The general impression here is that the
Alliance incident has already passed the
acute phase and may be safely left 10 dip
lomatic adjustment, in the ordinary
course.
The Spanish minister has, in advance,
assured the state department that II Spain
was in the wrong in the matter she would
speedily and voluntarily make all proper
reparation, and IL Is not doubted that IL
she has not already done so, Spain will in
struct her naval officers to abstain from
stopping American ships.
The only questions then left to be set
tied will be questions Of fact as to the To-
cation of the Alliance when she was first
slgnalled; the exact attitude toward her
of the Spanish cruiser, and the question of
international law as to the right of search
inside of the marine league, the last only
| In case IL is shown that the Alliance was
within that limit.

MOTH IL TO CITIZENS.

AS there seems TO be kicking by
some Of our Mountain Home people
about having their cellars and other
buildings entered and things stolen
would say there is only about
$50 a month at present subscribed
to pay me for night watching, and
this comes from three stores, two
saloons, two meat markets, depart
ment store. tin shop, lumber yard,
real estate Office, lodging house,
Chinese laundry, deator's office and
hotel. If the rest Of the business
houses and some Of the owners OF
residences would contribute from
$l00 to $3.50 per month each they
would not miss il and ii would paw
me reasonable wages, and then their
property would be protected at
night time. But it will be too late
some night when our town is laid in
ashes TO talk about it-for it has
already had some very narrow es-
capes from destruction by fire. All
| expect is reasonable wages, and
owing to the dull times do not
think the town could very well
afford to pay more than $4,000 per
month. | think this sum very rea-
sonable, and do not ask a few to
pay it all.
Yours respectfully,
G.. III. RISEHART,

The weather ruled the grain mar
80 today. Hot winds sent them up
Ss,rnly. and alternate promises of
ain and frost kept them nervous, but

assr tomorrow's holiday resulted In a
,over close than yesterday. Wheat

They knew that whatever wheat they
awned at the close OF todays mar
Set they would remain possessors of

ran TO look after the weather predlc-
ions A prominent operator remarked
mat the market was IA good deal
stronger than the bulls" They kept
selling out long wheat, without hurting

strong and irregular at the opening,
and after an advance of 3-Sc 1t drop

surely a weather market.
The market for oats was wild and
panicky at the opening with a wide
range of starting prices, the net adj
vance Of which was from LIS to 2 s-sc.
The activity and higher prices were
entirely influenced by reports of crop
damage coming from the oats terri
tory. Business was heavy throughout
