of considerable feet of United States
naval vessels in Cuban waters to protect
the shipping.
Minister Muruguas reports from the
Governor General of Cuba state that there
is no information of the Spanish gunboat.
although the officials along the eastern
coast of Cuba, where the supposed outrage
occurred, have been on the lookout. For
my part said the Minister, "this looks
very much like sea serpent affair. Every
now and then a captain states that he has
seen the sea serpent and came near being
swallowed. Captain Crossman is no doubt
a worthy officer, but it looks very much as
though he had dream as to seeing the
Spanish gunboat.
"The proper course would be to exact
affidavits from the crew and passengers of
the Alliance and find out if they agree
with the statement of Captain Crossman."
A letter from the Captain-General of
Cuba, received by Minister Murugua, says
that everything is quiet in five provinces
and that the only danger comes from the
possibility of shipping arms, ammunition
and men from the United States.
The report is discredited that the revolu-
tionists held a constitutional convention,
chose a commander-in-chief and ENJOYS to
foreign Governments and are about to
choose a President for the new republic
and issue declaration of independence.
The Minister also denied the report of
the killing of 500 Spanish soldiers at the
battle of Veginta. saying that such calam-
ity would be quickly reported to him.

THE TROUBLE EXPECTED.
The Police Took Hand in the
Disturbance and Made
Numerous Arrests.
MASS SAID UNDER GUARD.
Omaha Rioters Heard in Court and
Bound Over for Trial Under
Heavy Bonds.

CHICAGO, March 1.-two hundred
angry Poles, men and women, stormed st.
Hedwig's Catholic Church at North Hoyne
avenue and Kosciusko street to-day.
Five policemen who were on guard were
cowed by the mob, but on the arrival of re-
endorsements the rioters were driven off.
There has been trouble in st. Hedwig's
Parish for many weeks. Father Barzinski
was driven out three weeks ago, and the
police were called upon to protect the
church property. Father Barzinski be-
longed to the order of Resurrectionists,
which the people objected to. Archbishop
Feehan sent Father Zydiaczyk to the
church, but he, too, was Resurrectionist
and was rejected.
The parishioners determined to oppose
the reopening of the edifice. Early to-day
200 Poles marched to the church, denounc-
ing the priest and declaring that they
would prevent him from serving mass.
In a few minutes two patrol wagons
loaded with officers arrived on the run.
The angry crowd stood for moment,
when forty policemen, with glittering guns
in their hands, marched into the church.
Some of the Polish officers informed the
mob in their native tongue that the police
had orders to shoot. That settled it, and
moment later the crowd fed from the
church.
The police arrested Josie Tawondowski
and her son, Antoine, who seemed to be the
ringleaders. A search is being made for
the woman's husband. The priest celebra-
ted mass under guard of detail OF police.

MINING RIGHTS.
Pixies Peak Cases at Last Decided II,
Wdshington.

Pixies Peak Cases at Last Decided in
Washington.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Two de-
cisions have been recently made by Secre-
tary Smith on which the decision of the
last administration in the somewhat cele-
brated Pixies Peak case has been overruled.
The decision affects mining cases where
disputes arise between placer and lode
claims.
Secretary Smith decides that when it has
been ascertained by the department or
determined by court of competent juris-
diction that a lode claim exists within the
boundaries of the land covered by placer
patent and such lode claim was known to
exist at the date of the application for such
patent and was not applied for by the
placer claimant the land in the lode is
reserved from the operation of the convey
ance, and patent may issue for such lode if
the law has been in other respects fully
complied with.
The first decision is in the case of N. J.
Mcconnell, known as the South Star Lode
case, and the other is the Plain View Min
ing and Milling Company and Charles H.
Peters VS.. James H. Freeman, known as
the Freeman placer case.

ALL QUIET AT NEW ORLEANS.
TROOPS STILL GUARD THE BLACK
MEN AT WORK ALONG
THE DOCKS.
THE MERCHANTS REFUSE TO YIELD
ANY POINT TO THE
STRIKERS.

NEW ORLEANS, March 15-In the last
twenty-four hours there has been no
change in the labor situation in this city.
All day long work has progressed on the
wharves, but, as before, it was the negro,
or at least black and tan gangs, who loaded
the ships on which the firing took place on
Tuesday, and they were under the protec-
ton of bodies of State troops, fully armed
and prepared to suppress any of the riotous
element. In short, the military programme
was precisely similar to that of Thursday.
At shutdown the troops were withdrawn
but were ordered to resume duty to-
morrow morning. During the day Cover
nor Foster had conference with COM
mittees representing the white screwmen
and the merchants, but in neither meeting
was any result reached. The merchants
adhered firmly to the position set forth in
the address adopted by them on Tuesday.
They said they had not sought this
trouble, but now that they were in it they
were determined to see it through and
would not yield an inch.
The Governor says he will remain here
until the trouble is settled and is sanguine
of being able to effect a settlement very
shortly.

NITRO GLYCERINE GOES Off.
THREE THOUSAND POUNDS OF THE
EXPLOSIVE SHATTERED
BUILDINGS.
ONE MAN BLOWN INTO ATOMS, BUT
Tons OF DYNAMITE ESCAPED
INJURY.

HOUGHTON, Mich, March 15.-About
1000 pounds of nitro-glycerine exploded at
the Hancock Chemical Works, near Dollar
Bay, to-day. All the buildings of the COM
pany were wrecked. 1t being during the
noon hour only one man, Dominick Chris
tian, was killed. Several were injured by
flying debris, but not seriously. The cause
of the explosion is a mystery.
Christians duty was to attend the mix
ing of acid and glycerine. He was in the
nitro-glycerine vault when the explosion
occurred. Not even a particle of his re-
mains could be found. In the packing
house near by were large quantities of
dynamite, and in magazine adjacent was
stored $1,000 pounds of dynamite, but it
was not disturbed, although windows
were broken at Calumet, ten miles north.

OPPOSE THE EXCISE.

Netc YorHers Demand q Vote the Sam
day Question.
NEW YORK, March 1.-two thousand
people were present at the meeting in
Cooper Union last night to protest.ag against
the Sunday closing law. Mayor Strong,
who was expected, was not present.
A flaring poster bearing the words, sWe
demand a vote on the Sunday question;
let the majority rule" adorned one of the
walls
The speakers were DR.. w. s. Rainford,
John Frederlcks and DR.. A. J. Rylance
Dr. W. S. Rainford of st. Georges Church
said in part: 81 am opposed to the pres
ent excise law which closes saloons on
Sunday. 1 am in favor of opening saloons
on that day for certain hours, say from u
o'clock noon to midnight
He said he believed the opening of sa-
looms for certain hours on Sunday would
diminish law-breaking. The present law,
he thought, was impossible of enforcement
and its disregard begot disrespect for law
which was unhealthy for the public NOR
ais. AS to this evasion he said
81 need not say that this is not true only
of Irish or German saloons alone. 1t is
true also of a large proportion of our
American people.
Secondly, l am in favor of opening the
saloons on Sunday, because 1 think such
action fair to the poor man and to the
working classes. Personally, believe the
vast majority of men in every way are
healthier and richer for not touching any
alcohol. l have tried both plans myself
was once moderate drinker. am now
a total abstainer. 1 may convince my
neighbor of this truth, yet I cannot force
him to do it.
"The only club the workingman has is
the saloon. He does not go there simply
to drink or to smoke. He goes there to
meet his friends, and he has got to go
there to meet them, for he has no home in
which they can meet him. You have no
right to close up the workingman's club on
Sunday.
"If you do you must close up the gentle
mans club too, but we do not need clubs
nearly as much as working people do. 1
wish there were other clubs for the wage
earners. l believe in time there must be.
but l deal with facts. At present there
are not"
DIR. Rainford said he believed Sunday
saloons would diminish drunkenness and
would gradually drive saloons out of the
place. Present laws, he said, gave oppor-
tunity for blackmail. DR.. Rainford left the
hall amid cheers.
A letter from Carl Schurz was read in
which he pursued substantially the same
argument as had DR.. Rainford.
Resolutions were passed favoring the
passage by the present Legislature of a
bill carrying out the views advanced by
DR.. Rainford.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The State
Department has received a dispatch from
United States Minister Baker at Managua
Nicaragua, dated March last, relative to
the cases of seven Americans who were
held under arrest at Matigilpa, Nicaragua,
since September last on charge of lynch
ing native of Nicaragua who had con-
fessed to having participated in the MUIR
der of German in the neighborhood. The
Minister reports that after the seven men
had been in jail some time two of the
party, DR.. Gilman and Fred Hoppe, con-
fessed to having committed the lynching
alone and declared the others knew moth
ing of the affair. Thereupon the five limo
cent men were released.
Gilman and Hoppe were held in jail and
tried for the lynching last January. They
were acquitted, and the Minister reports
they were set at liberty.

Secretary Smith Renders an Opinion on
Idaho Land Selections.
WASHINGTON, March 15-Secretary
Smith has overruled the Commissioner of
the General Land Office in decision affect
ing the selection of lands to complete the
grants of the State of Idaho under the
enabling act. The Commissioner held
several selections for cancellation because
the particular tract selected was less than
quarter section, the law providing that
selections for losses must be in tracts not
less than a quarter section.
The Secretary states that in the cases
chosen by the Commissioner it appears
there are other selections by the State adj
joining the tracts of less than one-quarter
section, and he construes the law to mean
that the State shall make its selection in as
compact form as possible; and that its
lands shall not be scattered about in forty
and eighty acre tracts. When there are
other selections adjoining, in all more than
a quarter section, the Secretary holds that
thew are valid

Attorney General the legal question, and
