The Ruildine Outlook.

Mr.. Spencer Rogers, of this city, was
seen yesterday in regard to the outlook
in the building trade. Mr.. Rogers said
that in his judgment, including the in-
ishing of the Rines building, and the
erection of the Baxter building on
Congress street, more money will go into
buildings this year than last. Mr. Rogers
believes that there will be abundant
work for all the Portland mechanics in
the building trades. There are quite a
large number. r.of carpenters who live in
surrounding towns, who are part farmers
and part mechanics. They come to
Portland with the brisk starting in of
building operations in the spring, and
go back to their farms in the fall for
the winter. In this way the surround
ing towns are TO quite considerable
degree benefited by the building opera
tions in Portland, and if the money is
not all kept in the city it is very largely
kept i'll Cum mberland county.
The mechanics who reside in Portland
have in the opinion of Mr.. Rogers had
very fair winters work, and are all
or nearly all atswork at the present time
at small jobs mostly, but at good pay.
Of course this is rather the dull season
with masons and painters, but the car
penters find enough to do getting small
jobs out of the way of the larger con-
| tracts to come.
| Mr.. Rogers referred to the paragraph
in Mayor Baxter's inaugural in which he
SD oke of the fact that Portland did not
feel the hard times of last year. Il agree
with the Mayor on that point" said Mr..
Rogers, "aud would add that in my be-
| lief there never was a year when Port
land mechanics were 80 well of as at
the present time. There has been no
cut in wages, while there has been re-
duction of one hour day in time, and
there never was time in my recoliec-
tion when a dollar would go as far as it
will now. The Portland mechanics
ought to be satisfied with the outlook

He Enters Vigorous Denial to the
Charges Against Him.
Boston, Mass, March 13.-Rev. j. f.
Leland threatens to sue the Universalist
society of Waltham for breach of contract
Mr.. Leland went to Waltham to preach a
few weeks ago, in response to call
from the trustees of that church. He
wus then located at Augusta, Me. AT
the close of his service. MrLeland said
the trustees said they were very much
pleased with him, and engaged him to
fill the pulpit until April 1st. They
gave him to understand, he says, that
they would certainly engage him as per.
nanent pastor. After the contract was
made, Mr.. Leland says a member of the
Waltham church visited Augusta, and on
his return to Waltham he informed the
trustees that Mr.. Leland WAS not a fit
person to occupy any pulpit, and that he
left that city with a stain on his charac-
ter, or to be more explicit, he was mixed
up in some kind of financial difficulty.
Mr.. Leland was supervisor OF the sc hools
| in Augusta, and it was stated that his
accounts were not correct when he lett
the position. He claims to have abso-
lutte proof that such is not the case, and
he threatens to make it very interesting
for some of the members of the Walthan

EXPLANATIONS WANTED.
The Spanish Minister Has CabIed
For Particulars
REGARDING THE FIRING UPON
THE STEAMER ALLIANCA,

Ey the Spanish Gunboat-He Asks Sus-
Are Forthcoming-He Denies the Idea
of Hostility Towards the United States.
Washington, March 13.-The Spanish
minister, Senior Muruaga, has cabled to
the Governor Gen eraI of Cuba today for
information regarding the firing upon
the American steamer Alliance by the
Spanish gun boat ON the morning of the
Sth. At late hour this afternoon no
answer had been received. Senor Muir
uaga assumes that the captain of the
gunboat had not had an opportunity of
m aking a report to headquarters. When
it is received it's substance will be at once
telegrahed to the legation. here.
Senior Muruaga feels that the state
ments printed in the newspapers today
are somewhat misleading. He believes
that when the other side of the story is
printed it will p ut the matter in
different light. He ridicules the sugges-
tion that the action of the Spanish cap
tain in firing upon the Alliance was an
indication of hostility on the part OF the
Spanish government. The relations be-
tween Spain and the United States are
of the most friendly nature, and the
Spanish captain, he thinks, must have
felt justified in pursuing the course he
did, as doubtless will be shown later.
"The Allianca," Senior Muruaga says.
"was running through the windward
passage, between the keys, and taking
short cut to the Atlantic. Captain
Crossman says he was fully six miles
from shore, but maritime law in such
cases does not compute the distances at
sea from the mainland, but from the
capes ana promontories. This was the
contention of the United States in her
dispute with Great Britain in Behring
Sea, and it was allowed. 1t will be seen,
| think, that under these circumstances
| Captain Crossman was not six miles
from the Cuban shores. Cuba is full Of
excitement over domestic troubles, and
our cruisers are unusually vigilant at
this time in watching for vessels car
rying arms and reinforcements to the in
surgents. In these circumstances closer
attention ia paid TO unknown vessels
nearing our shores than would be or
dinarily the case. So far as l know this
is all there is to say about it,"

Hawaiians Expect Their Dreams of An

Washington, March 13. 1t is under
stood that the light sentence imposed by
the Hawaiian authorities on ex-Queen

largely due to desire to meet the pub
lie sentiment in the United States.
The announcement that some native
leaders who heretofore were staunch roy
alists, are now openly fayoring annexa-

ment to Congress to bring the ISLANDS
