NEW ORLEANS, March 1G.-The militia

Negroes are working on the wharves.
The troops are beginning to tire of doing
ordinary police duty, while the mer-
chants are subscribing literally to the

Many state it is impossible for them to

This department is informed that on

steamship Alliance, while on her home
ward voyage from Colon to New York,
when six miles from the coast of Cuba,
off Cape May, was repeatedly fired upon
by a Spanish gunboat with solid shot,

ward passage, where this occurred, is the
natural and usual highway for vessels
plying between ports Of the United
States and the Caribbean sea. Through
it several regular lines of American mail
and commercial steamers pass weekly
within sight of Cape May. They are
we'll Known and their voyage embraces
no Cuban port of call. Forcible inter-
ference with them cannot be Gained as a
belligerent act unless they pass within
three miles of the Cuban coast, and can
under no circumstances be tolerated
when no state of war exists.
This government will expect a prompt
~dlsavowal of this unauthorized act and a
due expression of regret upon the part
OF Spain and it must insist that imme-
date and positive orders be given to
Spanish naval commanders not to Inter-
fere with legitimate passing
through that channel and prohibiting
acts wantonly imperilling life and
property lawfully under the flag of the
nited States. You will communicate

GILT EDGE r..
One of the strikers Assaults prouri.tor
AInnIOn.

AmlnOn.
IT would appear from the following
account in the Lewistown Democra,
that X. A. Ammon, we'll known in Great
Falls, has become involved in more DIFF
ficulty with his employees.
Frank Boardman was brought down
from Gilt Edge this week bv Deputv
Sheriff Walter Waite and will answer to
the charge Of assault and battery on
X. A. Ammon. The trouble between the
Two men was IA question of wages, and
dates back to some time last year when
an agreement WAS made with the men
then emp'oyed to continue at work and
receive their pay according to the
amount of bullion produced. 1t is
claimed that enough bullion has been
produced to pay each man nearly s3 per
day"
The Lewistown Argus gives this ac.
count of the trouble:
"Frank Boardman was brought TO
Lewistown Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff
Waite to answer to the charge of assault
and battery upon the person of Il. A..
Ammon at Gilt Edge, Saturday evening
last. 10 90 back IA few months in the
history # the latest MISUNDERSTANDING l)
at Gilt Edge, it appears that during
September last Il crew of about thirty
men were put at work in the mine and
at the mill by Mr.. Ammon, with the
assurance that they were not to receive
less than Sl.G per day and such au
amount over that sun as the output of
the mine warranted. During the inter
venlng months not one dollar in cash has
been paid the men. though a few of them
have drawn small amounts at the store
on Ammon's order. Repeated de-
mands have been made for cash,
but the laborers only received a
stand OFT from Philanthropist Ammon.
Saturday last Mr.. Ammon returned
from the railroad, whence he had taken
several gold bars, and upon arrival at
Gilt Edge Mr.. Boardman and John
Flynn were appointed by the men to
make a last demand on their employer
for payment of wages. They were re-
celved with curses and the controversy
resulted in Boardman striking Ammon
and rendering his figure quite unpre-
sentable. So far as we can learn Am.
received but a small proportion of
his Just deserts, although "A different
story may be unfolded at Boardman's
Saturday next. Both mine and
mill are now idle as the entire force has
struck"

WASHINGTON, March 15.--Senor Mu-
ragua, the Spanish minister, had not
been informed up to II o'clock today,
either by his government or by the state
department of the United States, of the
demand made upon Spain through our
minister at Madrid. His reports from
the governor general of that state arethat
there is no information of the Spanish
gunboat. although officials along the
eastern coast of Cuba, where the sup
posed outrage occurred, have been on the
lookout.
For my part" said the minister,
this looks very much like a sea serpent
affair. Every now and then a captain
says he has seen a sea serpent. and came
near being swallowed. Captain Cross
man is. no doubt, d worthy officer, but it
looks very much as though he had a
dream as to seeing the Spanish gunboat.
The proper curse will be to exact an
affidavit from the crew and passengers of
the Alliance and find out if they agree
with the statement of Capt. Crossman.'
