An American Mail Steamer
Fired On.
Poor Workmanship Was ihe Reason
No Damage Was Done
The Secretary of State I'm Possession
Of the Facts

NEW YORK, March IL. The American
mail steamship Allianca, while proceed
ing from Colon TO New York on
the morning of the Sth inst, sig hted
barkentine rigged steamer under
the land OF Cape Maysi, the eastern edge
OF Cuba, which headed directly toward
her. At o'clock, when about two
and bali miles distant. she hoisled the
Spanish flag which was seluted by
hois ing the American ensign and dipping
II, which act OF courtesy was answered by
the Spanish vessel. At 7:10 she fired
blank cartridge TO leeward, which
was soon followed by another. The
dipped, but the course and speed OF the
ship was not changed, as no hostile de-
monstration was anticipated as the
Alliancia was more than six miles
of the land at the time. The Spanish
man OF war was not satisfied even with
the double salute to her flag but proceeded
to chase the American at her full
speed Judging from the smoke that came
from her funnel, and seeing that the
Alliance was drawing away, she yawed TO
To bring her guns TO bear and fired a
solid shot which struck the water less
than ali eighth of mile away
from che ship. This was followed by two
solid shots, which fortunately did not
reach their mark, though they struck the
water in sight of the ship. Captain
Crossman of the Allianca, knowing lie
was more than two leagues from land and
on the high seas, did not consider it his
duty to detain his ship to find out
the reason for such an out
rage, even for summary demand, and
so ordered full steam and gradually drew
out of range. The chase was kept up for
more than % miles, however, before it
was abandoned.
This outrage hss,been reported to the
Secretary of State by Captain Crossman.

The president is expected to act

ton embodies some of the best
land in the state and there are 1861
600 of the ceded lands. The proc.

shal! be .sahject TO entry Within
thirty days of publication. There
are several other reservations Tor
