fBOm Captain Crossmnn.
NEW YORK, March 1i.-Captain Cross
man, OF the steamer Allianca, which was
fired on By Spanish gunboat near the
eastern point Of Cuba while on her last
trip from Colon, has received the follow
ing letter from the Department Of State,
Washington:
"To Captain James Crossman. Command
or of the Alianca:
"Sir-I have received your letter OF
March without date. but which reached
the department to-day March 18th. which
reports the circumstances under which the
above-named steamship. on her homeward
voyage from Colon, Colombia, TO New
York. Off the North Cuban coast, on the
Sth instant, was fired upon by Spanish
gunboat.
"The department desires to receive from
you n statement of fact in the form Of an
affidavit accompanied. II possible, by
sketch-chart showing the course Of the
Allianca In passing Cape Maysi. and the
distance OF the vessel from the nearest
point OF the island Of Cuha.
"The affidavit should be explicit upon
these two points.
Awaiting such. I am, sir, your obe-
dent.

Captain Crossman said that he would
send a chart to the State Department,
showing where the attack occurred. 1t

least four miles OF Cape Mays, which
is the easternmost point Of Cuba. He con-
tinued:

'The man-of-war which attacked us was

tional code | would have stopped imme-
diately. She raised no such signals, how
ever. Her fire was practically a com
mand, and am not man to take orders
from anybody except my superior off,
GERS"
4 little more in regard to the identity OF
the Spanish man-Of-war was learned this
morning. Captain Crossman said that he
could plainly see that she had a copper
bottom. In the opinion OF experienced
seamen, this indicates that she must have
been wooden-hulled ship. for copper
bottoms are, az a general rule, used only
on wooden ships. II that be 80. the AL
lianca's assailant was evidently one OF
Spains old ships, for spain has not built
a wooden ship within the last ten years.
The State Department should. therefore.
the maritime circle thinks, have little difii-

man-of-war.
