Ugly Talk al Havana-Latest News
Of the Situation in
Cuba.

NEW YORK, March Is. - The
Ward line steamer Seguranca, which
sailed from Havana March Is, ar
rived in port today. The news of
the firing on the Allianca by the
Spanish gunboat had reached Ha-
vana before the departure of the
Seguaranca. One of the passengers
said he heard Spanish official, high
in authority, in Havana, remark
that it was just the chance that was
wanted. They had been waiting for
an excuse to fire on the Americans.
He expressed the general feeling of
all Spaniards in the matter. They
thought that Americans are secretly
aiding the rebels, and are sending
arms and ammunition from Florida.
The provinces now engaged in the
revolt are Manzanillo, Santiago de
Cuba, Molguin, Guantanamo and
Veguetia. The rebel forces consist
of about 5000 men, thoroughly IA
miliar with the country, and all
hardy and determined. The govern
ment forces consist of about 5000
regulars, and $500 more are now
en- route from Spain on three YES
sells, which may reach the island at
any time. The rebels were march
ing toward Puerto Principe, which
was the seat Of the revolution. The
residents of this province, which is
one of the most densely populated
on the island, are thought to be in
sympathy with the rebels, and are
expected to join hands with them
when they reach the territory.

"A spcial to the Florida Citizen,
from Key West, Fla, says: A let
ter has been received here from
Cuba stating that the Spanish gum
boat Alcedo fired upon and sank
a supposed American schooner off
Puerto Padre, with sixteen people
aboard. 1t is rumored that the
schooner was from Key West. The
schooner Golden Hind, of Key West,
which left here several weeks ago,
for a cargo Of fruit, with a crew of
sixteen men, had to pass Puerto
Padre, and may have been the ves-
sci in question. The schooners Lou
ise Hastings and Lily also sailed for
fruit several days ago, but neither
had sixteen men in her crew. The
latest news from Cuba tonight is
that the government has captured
a schooner loaded with arms and
ammunition at Havana, which was
to go to Santiago de Cuba. At Santa
Clara several rifles were captured
hidden in fields.

REGARDING THE ALLIANCA.
NeSOtiOns With Spain Not Being
Made Public,

WASHINGTON, March 18-An i'm
penetrable mystery surrounds the ne
gotiations between the state depart
ment and the Spanish government on
the Alliance affair. 1t seems to have
been borne in upon the officials of the
state department.. from the secreary
down, that in the present state of ex-
cited public feeling in the country.
better progress can be made toward
a peaceable settlement of the question
by keeping the various notes secret
than giving publicity to them before
conclusion has been reached. There
fore, the only response to definite in
quiries that can be obtained is a posi-
tive 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 to it's naval
ofhcers to refrain from further inter-
terence with American shipping, will
PROBABLY be learned first from Havana.
from Which point the orders will be
distributed AS the little gunboats are
widely scattered along the Cuban coast
ana nelghborlng waters, it will not be
an easy task to communicate these
orders speedily to all of them, and it is
just possible that there may be some
further incident similar to the AlIi-
anca affair before those orders are
made known to the Spanish naval COM
manders. 1t appears, in the light of
events of this kind in the past. that
the commanding officers of the smaller
craft are not always of high degree
OF Intelligence or rank, for, in cases
where they have delayed American
ships they have found it necessary to
hold the ships for several days in
order that they might fall in with an
other and larger cruiser with an officer
aboard Of sufficient intelligence to read
and pass upon the adequacyof the can
tive's papers,.
The general impression here this
evening is that the Allianca incident
has already passed the acute phase.
and may be safely left to diplomatic
adjustment in the ordinary course.
The Spanish minister has in advance
assured the state department that if
Spain was in the wrong in the matter.
she would speedily and voluntarily
make all reparation, and it is not
doubted that, if she has not already
done so, Spain will soon instruct her
naval officers to abstain from stoppinp
American ships. The only question
then left to be settled will be questions
of fact as to the location of the Al
lianca when she was first signaled.
the exact attitude toward her of the
Spanish cruiser, and the question of
international law as to the right of
seafch inside the marine league, the
last only In case it is shown that the
Alliance was within the limit.

strange Complications in an

CHICAGO, March ia case involv-
ing marital troubles and dissensions of
a peculiar nature concerns the arrest
of Edward Adolph, which was made
today at the instigation of William
Sraub, of 70 Orange street, Newark,
N. j. The woman in the case claims
that she Is Miss Mary Linke, formerly
OF Newark, but recently of st. Louis.
Straub claims her for his wife and says
Adolph eloped with her About a week
ago the police were notified by wire
from Newark that the woman and
Adolph had run away from that place
and taken $1,000 of Straub's money with
them. The telegram was signed by
Straub. Last Saturday a man called at
the central station and stated that act
ing in the interests of Straub, he had
followed the runaway pair to ST. Louis
and later to this city, and asked the
assistance of the police in locating
them. Adolph was arrested and locked
up at central station. The money in
Volyed was found in the woman's pos
session, but Straub admitted that it be-
longed to her. He stoutly insisted that
the woman was his wife, while she
strenuously refuted the claim. She
claims that Straub, who is a wholesale
dealer in meats, has a wife living in
Germany, and that he deserted her
nearly twenty-three years ago while
she only acted as his housekeeper. She
refuses to have anything to do with
Straub, and positively declares her in
tention of wedding Adolph as soon as
he can secure employment

FAVA is SATISFIED.
No Further Fear of Complications
With Italy.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The ItaI
ian incident, one Of three international
complications, is practically closed. SO
FAR as it involves relations of the
United States and Italy, and instead
of leaving irritation and ill-feeline. the
affair appears to have resulted in
further Strengthening the friendly re-
lations between the countries. Ambas-
sador Fava takes this view of the in
cident, and expresses his appreciation
OF the promptness and energy with
which the federal authorities and those
of Colorado sought to secure for Ital-
ians the same protection and redress as
that given American citizens during
the mob lawlessness at Walsenburg.
On the other hand 1t is a source of
comment and congratulation at the
state department that at time when
foreign entanglements were pressing
from all quarters, Baron Fava made
no protest beyond presenting the facts
as telegraphed by the Italian consul
at Denver, and at the same time re-
assured the Italian government that
the authorities here were doing eyerv-
thing in their power. And it is not
doubted that Gov. Mcintyre will he
fully able to deal with the question
from now on without further colnmun-
icatton with Washington.

NEW YORK, March 18.-Irishmen in
this city were especially favored to-
day by the glorious weather that
marked the occasion on which they
celebrate the memory of Erins patron
saint. The green flag was displayed
all over the city. rs=
The principal event of the day was
the big parade of the united Irish So
cieties. The streets were crowded with
spectators, and forty-eight divisions

took part in the parade. There were
also present the members of the Coun-
ty Kerry society, the County Mona>
CHAN society, Companies A and of
the Hibernian Rifles, County Sligo and
County Limerick societies.
When the procession reached No.

along the line.
A reviewing stand was, at Fifty
seventh street and Broadway. On this
were Recorder Golf, President Jerole-
man, of the board of aldermen, and
a number of aldermen.
Games were held later at Lyon park,
and there were a number of dinners
and concerts tonight.
AT Lyon park Chairman G. J. Nc
Manus in his address referred to the
bill passed by the legislature prohib.
iting the raising of the Irish flag over
the city hall.
For as many years as I can re-
member he said, 1.-The green flag with
a harp, but no crown, has intermingled
in the breeze with the American flag.
and say now, it was never disgrace
to the American flag either''
He said the passage of the bill was
an outrage, and believed that the

NANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 49,
The British government, through
it's minister here, has submitted an
ultimatum to Nicaragua. It de-
mands a cash indemnity of f15, 1000
as smart money to pay for the eX-
pulsion of Mr.. Hatch, British con-
sular agent at Bluefields during the
troubles there last year, and also the
appointment of a commission to ad
judicate the damages sustained by
the persons and property of British
subjects who were expelled from the
Mosquito reservation about the same
time. By the terms of the ulti-
matum Great Britain is to name one
of the commissioners and Nicaragua
another, and these two are to choose
a third, who shall not be a citizen of
the United States. 1t was also made
known that a British war ship is
now on her way to Nicaragua to
enforce these demands, which must
be complied with within seven weeks
from the 25th of February last, the
date Of the ultimatum.

MONROE DOCTRINE VIOLATED.
Uncle Sam May Take a Hand in
IItinlntuurS

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-It is
impossible to learn positively
whether the state department has
been fully advised officially of the
severe demands made upon Nicara-
qua by Great Britain, as reported
in the cable dispatches from Mana
qua, but from the fact that Gen.
Barrios, who was appointed an am
bassador by the Nicaraguan govern
ment to endeavor to settle their diff
ferenceS with Great Britain, has
been in Washington for week, and
has paid several visits to the state
department with DR.. GuZman, the
resident Nicaraguan minister, it is
assumed that our own government
is fully posted in regard to the mat
ter.
1t cannot be denied that this new
incident, taken in connection with
the hostile attitude of Great Britain
towards our sister republic Of Vene-
zuela, promises to lead to trouble of
a character much more serious than
the little incident of the Allianca,
WIllC1 Has CdQoSu SlSll d
The administration is evidently
about to be put in a position where
1t must lay down a new construction
of the Monroe doctrine, or else aban-
don all concern in the future of the
smaller republics of Central and
South America.
In Venezuela it is alleged that
their boundary line and encroaching
upon Venezuelan territory in spite
of the strong protests of the Vene-
zuelan government and the repeated
urgings of the United States that
the question of boundary should be
settled by a resort to arbitration,
not of part of a question, eXclud-
ing the main issue, as desired by
Great Britain, but by the submis-
sion of the whole issue. But there
are also questions of indemnity aris-
ing in Venezuela, growing out of
claims preferred by other European
nations, and there are indications
noted by officials here to show that
these are being pressed by concerted
action. Many Of the claims for in
demnity grow out of the failure of
these republics to meet their obliga-
tions to foreign debtors under the
stress of hard times. and the in
f1uence of the worldwide depression
in trade. AS the European govern
ments appear to be moving to coll
lect these individual debts on their
own account, it is a question that
the United States must speedily set
tie as to how far it is prepared to
permit this process to go on. AS
to Nicara qua, it is felt here that
the terms of the British ultimatum
are unduly severe. Besides, there is
rather disa greeable reflection upon
Amrican citizens in the stipulation
that none such shall serve on the
commission to adjudge the damage.
On the whole, it is more probable
that the president will interpose to
secure at least an amelioration of the
forms of the ultimatum by an ap-
peal to the British government, rep
resenting the great hardship that ii
would work to Nicaragua under her
present depressed condition to pre-
fer demand for so large an in
demnity as SIS, 900.
