WASHINGTON. March 13.--The Spanish
Minister. Senior Muruaga. cabled the Gov
ernor-General OF Cuba to-day Tor informa-
tion regarding the firing upon the Ameri-
can steamer Alliance 10y a Spanish gun
boat on the morning OF the Sth Instant.
AT a late hour this afternoon no an
swer had been received. The Minister
assumes that the captain Of the sun
beat has not as yet had an opportunity
OF making his report 10 headquarters
When 1t Is received. its substance will be
al once telegraphed 10 the legation here.
Senor Muruaga feels that the statements
published in the American newspapers
to-day are somewhat misleading. and be-
lieves that when the other side OF the
story Is printed II will present the mat
ter In different light. He ridicules the
idea that the Fact OF the gunboat's
firing upon the Alliance indicates hos
tility.
