-------------- REQUESTS NOT GRANTED.
NEwFoUNDLAND WANTS LITTLE TOO MUCH FROM THE BRITISH GOVERN

NEWFOUNDLAND WANTS LITTLE TOO
 MUCH FROM THE BRITISH GOVERN
 MENT.
 LONDON, March l3.-A parliamentary paper has been issued giving the corre- spondence betwe en the authorities of New foundland and the British government in regard to the financial crisis in Newfound- land. The paper contains a request from Sir J. N. O'Brien, governor of Newfound- land, for aid in procuring loan of S1 ,000,- 0C0, together with warship and the ap- ntment of royal commission for the province. Lord Ripon's reply to these re- quests says the home government will do nothing in the matter until the commission has made further inquiries.
 Other requests are made by the New foundland government as follows: That the home government sanction the issue of treasury notes; that they pass bill guar anteeing a certain value to all bank notes; that they give assurance that the London government will not meddle with the con- stitution, and that they guarantee 920, ,0O0 yearly for quarter of a century on the colony bonds.
 The home government in reply refuses to give the assurance asked aud declines to assume the guarantee on the ground that self governing colonies should not look to the imperial government for aid in hnan- cial affairs. However, Lord Ripon writes, the government would dispatch commis- sioner to Newfoundland to relieve actual public distress from the treasury fluids, but they would not extend assistance to com mercial houses.

Gives His Views of the Firing
 Upon the Allianoa,
THE D1 SANcB FROM LAND
Will B = ound Different and All z plained When the
 e sr Side Is Heard.

WAt@~ aToN, March 13.-The Spanish minister, Senor Muruaga, cabed the gov erDor- gen eral of Cuba today for iniorma- tion regarding the firing upon the Ameri- can steamer Aiianca by Spanish gun boat on the morning of the Slh instant. At a late hour this afternoon no answer had been received.
 Senor Muruaga assumes that the captain of the gunboat has not AS yet had an op- portunity of making his report to head quarters. When it is received it's su bstanco will be at once telegraphed to the legation here.
 Senor Muruaga feels that the statements published in the American newspapers today are somewhat misleading, and he believes that when the other side Of the story is printed it will put the matter in a different light. He ridicules the suggestion that the action of the Spanish captain iu firing upon the Allianca was an indication of hostility on the part of the Spanish gov ernment. The relations between Spain and the United States are of the most friendly nature and the Spanish captain, he says, must have felt justified in pur- suing the course that he diu, as will doubt less be shown later.

Maritime law in such cases does not com pute the distances at sea from the main land, but from the capes and promonto- ries. This was the contention of the United States in the dispute with Great Britain in Behring sea and 1t was allowed. It will be seen. l think, that under these circumstances Captain Grossman was not six miles from Cuban shores. Cuba is full of excitement over the domestic troubles and our cruisers are unusually vigilant at this time In watching for vessels carrying arms and endorsements to the insurgents. In these circumstances closer attention is paid to unknown vessels nearing our shores than would bs ordinarily the case. So far as know, this is all there is to say about if j'

 NEW ORLEANS, March 13.-Mr. Edward McCubbin has been appointed by the white ecrewmen as their agent to make contracts with ship owners or agents for the loading of vessels at 35 cents bale. He is a prac- tical screwman, and very readily con- scented to talk.
 s.Let me say first before going into the subject,' said MT. McCubbin, "that the screwmen unreservediy condemn and sim cerely regret the occurrences on the levee front yesterday. We recognize that all such breaks are hurtful to our interests, and we have sought with every means in our power to restrain our men from offer ing any violence to the labor employed on the ships. We believe that the men who were guilty of shooting down laborers yes- terday ought to be

 and ought to be punished, and we shall morally and otherwise support public or- der in all these troubles. But it Is unjust to lay the blame or the responsibility on the ecrewmen.
