Madrid. March II. - The following
cableSram has been received here:
Taylor, Minister, Madrid.-This de-
partment is informed that on the Sth
inst. the United States mail steamship
Alliance. on her homeward voyage
from Colon TO New York, when six
miles from the coast of Cuba, Off Cape
MaySi. was repeatedly fired upon by
a Spanish gunbOat, with solid shot,
which, fortunately fell short. The
windward passage, where this oc-
Cured. is the natural and usual high
way for vessels plying between ports
of the United States and the Carib-
bean sea. Through it several Ameri
can lines of mail and commercial
steamers pass weekly, within sight OF
Cape Maysi. They were well known
and their voyage embraces no Cuban
port Of call. FOrcible interference
with them cannot be claimed as a
~belligerent act. whether they pass
within three miles Of the Cuban coast
or not, and can under no circum-
stances. be tolerated when no state of
war exists. This go eminent will ex-
pect prompt disavOWal of the unau-
thOriZed act and due expression Of re-
greet on the part of Spain. and it must
insist that immediate and positive or
ders be given TO Spanish naval COM
manders not to interfere with legiti-
mate American commerce passing
through that channel. and prohibiting
all acts wantonly imperilling life and
property lawfully under the flag Of the
United States. You will communicate
this to the minister for foreign affairs
and urge importance Of prompt and
satisfactory response. -Gresham."

New Orleans, March 15.-Tha levee,
the scene of riOting, precents IA peace
full aspect to-day. Where yesterday
crowds of excited workmen. armed
with all kinds Of weapons, patrOling
the river front nothing was TO be seen
this morning but squads of policemen
discussing the affair OF yesterday and
the probable outcome. The police did
not wait till actual shooting began be-
fore they took action as was the case
yesterday morning. Their experience
yesterday was II never TO be forgot
ten. Word was sent to all precinct
commanders last night TO have their
forces on the river front at daybreak
this morning. Consequently the police
were on hand in large numbers to
prevent a repetition of yesterdays
bloody affair. There was a heavy fog
hanging over the river all morning,
and the police were under the i'm
preston that the rioters would again
take advantage OF this fact and COM
NIT deeds Of violence. But this be-
lief did not pan out for the simple
reason that not a negro put in an ap,
pearapce on the levee.

Gibraltar, March 15.-The spanish
cruiser Reina Regente is believed to
have foundered off TangiCrS. Morocco,
during the recent gale. She had a
crew OF 420 officers and men. Pieces
of II of her boats and scmaphOre
flags are reported to have been picked

and Lepanto are three new second
class, deck-protected cruisers of the
same build. They are of 1880 tons,
have 1900 horse power and are ex-
pected to steam twenty knots.
The Reina Regente had just con
veyed the returning Moorish mission
TO Tangiers. She left that port on
March l for Cadiz, and had not since
been heard of. The absence of news
from her is causing the greatest anx-
iety, and ii is believed that she has
been lost with all hands. The cruiser
Isla da LuZon, of the Spanish fleet,
sailed from Algiers in search OF the
missing cruiser.

Haverhill. Mass, March 15.-Walter
Ccott Hale of Haverhill has confirmed
a report current to-day that Thomas
Gilroy, Jr.. of New York. SOL of eX-
Mayor GilrOy and Hale's brother-in-
law, had, as the result of IA violent
quarrel in the cafe of the Parker house.
challenged Hale to fight a duel and the
challenge was accepted. The quarrel
occurred through personal charges and
counter-charges resulting from young
Hale'S endeavors 10 have his mother
removed as his guardian. Hale states
that he. accompanied by a friend,
Sidney w. Young of Haverhiil, went
10 New York early in the week TO no
tify Hale'S mother of the action to re-
move her as guardian. She was found
at the home Of eX-Mayor Gilroy. and
her counsel. Mr.. Badger. was present
at the interview between her and her,
SOn during whic the lawyer told Hale
that he had better look out for young
GilrOy, as the latter had threatened 70
break every bone in his body.
Hale and Young reached Boston on

peared Hale accused him of living on

replied that he could not have anything

was his physical superior, but that he
would meet him with pistols at any
New York hotel. An exchange of cpl
thets occurred, during which a crowd
gathered and Gilroy escaped to his
room. Hale stated that he is prepared
to fight at any time. but not within
100 miles Of New York.

Steamer Seized.

London, March Il. - A steamship
with two smOkestacks arrived at
Gravesend yesterday and refused in
formation Is to her destination. In
consequence the government ordered
the British ship BASTARD. a small coast
defense gunboat carrying 7 gun and
stationed at SheerneSs, to proceed to
Gravesend and take charge Of the
strange steamer. This was done and
n guard was placed on board Of her.
From the fact that a Japanese officer
was found on board the steamship It
is presumed that the captured vessel
is either a japanese ship or else a
steamer chartered by the Japanese
government.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.
A Bird's-Eye Vicw of the United
states In 1870.

In 1870 the United States covered
the same tract Of the earth's surface
as now, amounting to 100000 square
miles. Hardly more than a fifth OF
this represented the United States of
1889. About a third Of the vast do
main was settled, the western frontier
running irregularly parallel with the
Mississippi, but nearer to that stream
than to the Rocky mountains.
The center Of population was forty
eight miles east by north Of Cincinnati,
having moved westward fOrty-twO
miles since 1860. Except certain well
peopled sections on the Pacific slope,
and little civilized strips in Utah, Col
orado and New Mexico, the Great West
had but II tenuOus population. Over
immense regions it was still an Indian
fastness, rejoicing in a reputation,
which few could verify, for rare
scenery, fertile valleys, rich mines and
a wondrOuS climate.
The American people numbered 49,
S5S..371 souls. In the settled parts of

ity Of 1913 persons to the square mile.
