The United States Demand,

MADRID, March 16.-Mr. Hannis
Taylor, the American minister, pre-
sented to the minister of foreign af-
fairs a demand from his government
for apology and reparation from the
government of Spain on account of the
Alliance affair. Mr.. Taylor's action
was based on the following dispatch
from Mr.. Gresham, dated Washington,
March IA:
"This department is informed that
on the sth inst. the United States mail
steamship Alliance, on her home
ward voyage from Colon to New York.
when 8 miles from the coast of
Cuba, off Cape Maysi, was repeated
ly fred upon by a Spanish gunboat,
with solid shot, which. fortunately,
fell short. The windward passage,
where this occurred, is the natural and
usual highway for vessels plying be-
tween ports OF the United States and
the Caribbean sea. Through it several
regular lines of American mail and
commercial steamers pass weekly with
in sight of Cape Maysi. They are we'll
known and their voyage embraces
no Cuban port of call. Forcible inter
ference with them can not be claimed
as a belligerent act, whether they
dass within 3 miles of the Cuban
coast or not, and can, under
no circumstances, be tolerated, when
no state of val exists. This govern
ment will expect prompt disavowal of
the unauthorized act and due express
sion of regret on the part of Spain, and
it must insist that immediate and
positive orders be given to Spanish
naval commanders not to interfere with
legitimate American commerce passing
through that channel, and prohibiting
all acts wantonly imperiling life and
property lawfully under the flag of
the United States. You will COM
municate this to the minister for for
eign affairs, and urge Importance of
prompt and satisfactory response.

THE ALLIANCA OUTRAGE.

Capt. Crossman Will Make a Sketch Chart
Showing the Course of His Vessel and
Location with Reference to Cuba at the
Time She was wantonly Fired Upon by
the Spanish Gunboat.
WASHINGTON, March l5.-It was
stated at the state department yester.
day afternoon, in response to a direct
question, that it was thought exceed
ingly likely that Capt. Crossman
would respond in person to the re.
quest of Acting Secretary Uhl for an
affidavit and a sketch chart showing
the course of the Alliance and the dis
lance of the vessel from the nearest
point of the island of Cuba.
The officers attached to the naval
intelligence Office have been endeavor.
ing 20 identify the Spanish vessel that
fired on the Alliance, but so far they
have not succeeded. They say that
all the Spanish gunboats in Cuban
waters answer the description furn'
ished by Capt. Crossman of his assail.
ant, in being small, old and of ancient
pattern. They differ in color only.
Will Send the Chart to the State Depart
ment.
New YORK, March 15.-Capt. Cross
man said he would sent a chart to the
state department showing where the
attack occurred. He said he knew his
vessel was at least four miles off Cape
Maysi, which is the easternmost point
of Cuba.
Capt. Crossman continued: THE
man-Of-war which attacked us was
broad off our port quarter. l viii say
right here, and this is a statement
which l have not made before, that
had the man-of-war signalled us with
the international code | would have
stopped Immediately. She raised no
such signals, however. Her fire was
practically a command, and 1 am not a
man to take orders from anybody, ex-
eept my superior officers"
A little more in regard to the iden-
tity of the Spanish man-of-war was
learned this morning. Capt. Cross
man said that he could plainly see
that she had a copper bottom. In the
opinion of experienced seamen, this in
dicates that she must have been a
wooden-hulled ship. for copper bot
toms are, as a general rule, used
only on wooden ships. If hat be
SO, the Alliances assailant was
evidently one of Spain's old ships, for
Spain has not built a wooden ship in
the last ten years. The state depart
ment should, therefore, maritime cir
cles think, have little difficulty in dis
covering the identity of the man-of-
war.

CURIOUS ISLANDERS.
The Cave Dwellers of Boring Straits
Are without Equals.

The Cave Dwe1lers of Boring Straits
Are without Equals.
IN BeriDg Straits, thirty miles OF
Port Clarence and the shores Of Alas
ka, there are about two hundred OF the
most curious islanders that ever were
seen. The Island or rock they inhabit
is about half mile wide and little
more than that distance long, and the
islanders are cave jewellers and live
on whale b,ubber, seal and walrus
meat One abode is built over and I'M
Ger the other and to the right and left,
giving them a strange and motley APP
pearancc. not unlike the receSses IN
habited by blld eagles. There are
narrow caves eXcavated into the side
of the crumbling volcanic rock, and
in the bottom of each Is some short,
native grass, forming bed in which
to sleep. At the mouth Of the cave
and just In the interior fires are light

are also suspended outside to keep on.
the snow and cold. In the summer
the hardy natives leave their holes AND
live In odd houses made of poles, con-
structed ne3r at hand on the edge OF
the cliff
These strange people are usually as
strong and vigorous as can be found
anywhere. Moreover, they are entire
ly contented AMI happy. They have
no government, no chief, and no need
OF laws. Living in families and set
ting forth every day in their kiaks for
the whale seal and walrus, they re-
turn each night to their caves, or pole
tents. caring nothing for the outside
world
Odd to relate, however, the prestige
of the native Is determined by the
clothes he wears. AS these consist OF
skins and constitute the wealth of the
islanders, it will be seen that they are
not in this respect so much unlike civ
iized people, But the man with more
clothes than anybody else has no more
authority He is respected for his
sagacity, but that Is all.
