Tart Note Sent to Madrid.

l0ft Note Sent to Madrid.
The most belligerent message dispatch
ed by this Government to a foreign power
since b memorable controversy between
the Harrison administration and the Chill
ians has been conveyed through Minister
Taylor by Secretary Gresham to the min
lister of foreign affairs ut Madrid. A
more downright assertion of American
rights was never uttered by Mr.. Bhine
himself. 1t amounts practically to a
warning to Spain that a repetition of the
Alliance affair will be considered by this
country as a declaration of war.
The incident is looked upon in Washing
ton as more than the laundering imperti-
hence of Il naval commander. The revolu-
ton in Cuba has been supported by Ameri-
can Cubans. Key West and New York
have furnished the sinews of war to the
revolutionists. Public men at the capital
have been open in their declarations that
the time for annexation of Cuba to this
country is near at hand. The assault on
the Alliance is taken rs an intimation
that Spain will stand no further trifling
with Cuban affairs.
Mr.. Gresham's retort is extremely fiery.
In substance. he commands the Spanish

the condition of winter wheat and rye:
In Illinois the wheat crop has come
through the winter in excellent condition,
the recent heavy blanket SHOWS having
proved a perfect protection against adj
verse atmospheric conditions. Very little
freezing out is reported. The plant Is
small In some localities, but this will
prove of no great moment If the crop be
not subjected to hard experiences in the
way of thawing and freezing. Wheat on
clever sod seems doing very well. Rye
has been quite extensively sown, and is
doing finely.
In Indiana the conditions are the same
as in Illinois quite largely. Little injury
is reported from freezing. The snow
saved 1t. and prospects are now good.
though the plant is in some counties thin
on the ground and small. Rye has been
very extensively sown. but 10 in average
condition.
In Ohio the crop Is everywhere fair to
good, though reported uneven in some
counties. Rye il doing well and has been
quite extensively sown.
Michigan reports conditions good, SO far
as known. but snow still covers much of
the crop. The greatest danger Mt present
comes from ice blankets formed by melt
ing drifts. Rye is good.
The crop In Missouri is not all that could
be desired. A good many counties report
it only fair or poor, from varying Ondi-
tons. Tco dry weather last fall was one
of the principal causes of the present con-
dition. The snow has done much to i'm
prove it. Enough counties report the CON
dition as good to bring the whole State
up to an average of fair. Rye, where
planted, is generally good.

Cause of the Trouble.
The white screwmen engaged in loading
vessels with cotton at that port have been
attempting for four months past to drive
negro labor from the levees. Several seri-
GUS riots have already occurred from this
cause, but these not succeeding in getting
rid of the negroes, the white laborers de-
termined upon a display that would show
their strength, overawe the authorities.
overwhelm the police and cause panic
among the negroes. There is no reason to
doubt the charge of the police that Tues
days rioting was prearranged in every
detail in order to strike terror to those
who opposed the demands Of the white
laborers. 1t was well understood that
there would be a serious disturbance.
The Mayor and authorities were warned,
but no provision was made to meet the
mob. which had the field to itself, killed
the negroes or ran them off the leyee,
overawed the police and held complete
control. The white screwmen made no
attempt at concealment. They marched
in three companies of from 25O to 800
each along the entire city front, attack
ing the negroes at three points and firing
lndiscriminately at all persons whom
they saw at work on the ships OF the
levee.
The first Of these mobs, which consisted
of two parties, each 300 strong, appeared

the roofs Of houses. The insurgents weso
defeated with a loss of fifty killed and
wounded. while the Government troops
had but six men killed. Many horses and
mules were killed. In his message, Cen
eral Garrich commends the officers and
men of the Spanish troops for their BRAY
cry.
1t Is also reported by the Government
that Masso. one of the insurgent leaders
In Santiago, says he was misled, but 10
ashamed to surrender. He says there are
only 100 men in the movement at San
tiago, two-thirds Of whom are negroes.

ing conditions. Some localities report out
look as unusually good. while others re-
port the crop as badly blown out on
sandy land or much damaged, but late
sown is better. Where rain has fallen
recently there is a marked improvement.
Rye has been sown in quite a number of
counties, and is generally good.
Nebraska reports are quite good, al
though in some sandy localities the crop
has been hurt by high winds blowing it
out. Too dry is reported in some cases.
but a great many counties have excellent
prospects for a crop. Rye is, on an av-
erage. better than wheat.
In Kentucky conditions are very favor
able, most correspondents reporting a
high condition. In a few cases where
the crop is now poor it is improving rap
idly. The of the past two months
has proved of immense advantage, giving
protection from the cold and moisture for
spring development. Rye is generally
doing well.
AS usual, a great many counties in Iowa
have sown no winter wheat. In the
other counties there appears a great vari-
alton in condition. While a good many
correspondents report the crop in fine
shape, some say hat in their counties
the outlook is bad. One > "Half crop;
too dry" Rye is fair.
Wisconsin prospects are not good Mt
present. The vas not 80 much of a
protection as in some other States, and
much of the ground has been bare for
some time. This has permitted thawing
and freezing to an alarming extent. 1t
does not appear to be possible for the
crop to escape without a serious disaster,
except in localities where snow has re-
NAMED on the fields till very recently.
Rye is not very fair in condition, but Is
likely to feel the adverse conditions less.
In Minnesota and the Dakotas little has
been grown any year. and the conditions
will not greatly affect the crop of the
country. The conditions are doubtful,
both as to wheat and rye where the latter
has been OWE
1t should be borne in mind In reading
the above summary that the States that
grow the largest amount of winter wheat
report the conditions good, and that the
adverse conditions are quite generally re-
ported from States that grow compare
lively small quantities. From this it will
be seen that the general average Of these
twelve States IL good, and that a large
winter wheat crop may be looked for.

1 or THE LEvEE.

1t about Z o'clock in the morning at the
French market, near which the British
steamer Engineer of the Harrison line
was loading. The men were mainly arm
ed with Winchester rifles, shotguns and
pistols, but some carried the long pixies
famous in the French revolution. They
marched in semi-military order, quietly
and with few words, and the morning
being very foggy, they we're not seen In
til they fled into the French market.
Here some of them stationed themselves
behind the massive pillars Of the market.
while others scattered among the freight
with which the levee was covered.
Fired Upon the Negroes.
Just as the negro overseer called upon
his men to go to work some one in the
mob shouted: "Fire." There was a single
shot, followed by a general fusillade. A
panic prevailed in the market, where hum
dreds Of women were marketing. and the
crowd scattered in every direction, rush
ing for places Of safety. The negroes
aboard the steamer. at whom the princi-
pal fire was directed, scattered, some Of
them Jumping overheard in their fright,
but most of them seeking refuge in tho
cabin. The mob began firing o only
at the negroes at work on the Engineer.
but at my they could see passing and.
