STAINS CRUISER IS MISSING.
TT IS BELIEVED THE RELNA RE-
 GENTE HAS BEEN LOST.

Vessels Have Been Sent Out by the Govern
 lnent in Search of Her-It is Said That
 Her Compass Box Came Ashore on the
 South Coast.
 Madrid, March 14-The ministers were questioned in congress this afternoon regarding the Reina Regente. Premier Sagasta replied that the government had been unable to get definite news of the cruiser and feared that she had been wrecked. Some of the deputies made this reply the ground of an att tack upon the ministry. Deputy Car javal, republican, said that the naval department was to blame, as the heavy armament of the forepart of the war ships had been increased beyond all reason in recent years.
 The general opinion in Madrid and the large seaports is that the cruiser has foundered with all on board. The majority of the crew belonged in Cadiz and Carthagena, where the excitement and anxiety for news are intense.
 The Moorish steamer Hassan Tangier started early this morning to search for the cruiser. She returned this after noon with eleven castaways from the bark Luz which was wrecked in Sun days gale. She will go out again to- morrow to ascertain whether the Reina Regente did not seek refuge in some Moorish port where there is no tele- graph line.
 Admiral Pasquain, minister of ma rine, has sent out the cruiser Alfonso XII. to assist in the search for the Rei-' na Regente,
 A dispatch from Tarifa, on the south coast, says that the Reina Regente's compass-box came ashore there this af- ternoon.

Story of Captain Crossman Declared to be
 Untrue.
 Washington, March 14-Senor Murua- ga, the Spanish minister, expressed the opinion tonight that the story of Cap tain Crossman of the firing on the Ali anca was pure fabrication, as all ef- forts on the minister's part to secure in formation on the subject from the Span ish authorities in Cuba have been un- successful.
 q have received a cablegram from the captain-gen of Cuba" said the min ister, land he reports that nobody in Havana seems to know anything about the affair. He says the naval com mander of the station of Havana has ordered inquiry to be made at Santiago de Cuba and at Gibara. It is strange if the firing was done by a Spanish ship that no vessel flying the colors of that country has yet put into a Spanish port and reported the occurrence.

The Kind of Equipment a Minister Should
 Have.
 Rev. Dr. Stinson, D. D., pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, de- livered a lecture in the Yale Divinity school yesterday afternoon on ''Tha Kind of Equipment Man Ought to Have for Preaching' Tn the first place he said man should be convinced of the reality of sin and then he should also be thoroughly convinced that Jesus Christ is sufficient Saviour. He thought man in order to preach ought to be possessed by the gospel as we'll as to possess it. Incidentally in his lec- ture he paid tribute to Dr. Shedd of the Union Theological seminary, New York city, who is a prominent repre- sentative of the Calvinistic theology. Herather ridiculed the idea that it was necessary for the minister to spend a. year in Germany in order to fit hinA for efficient work in the ministry.

tation With Abbott.
 Baltimore, March 14.-Charley Gehr- ing. formerly champion amateur light weight pugilist of America, spared six rounds to draw with stanton Abbott of Providence, R. l., here to- night. Abbott vanquished Gehring in three rounds last November, when Gehring entered professionalism The card was given under the auspices of the new Eureka Athletic club and the old Front Street theater was crowded to overfiowing. There was no referee.
 Gehring was the aggressor in the first round and landed several body blows; in the second honors were easy. In the third the Baltimore boy landed a vicious left hand swing and had his man on the ropes. Abbott got in a stiff left handler on Behring's neck
 The fourth round was all in Gehr- ing's favor. Abbott swung yiciously for Behring's law but what would probably have been Knockout blow fell short. In the fifth round honorg were about even. In the sixth both landed hard on each others face. The gong. which announced the conclusion of tho bout, was received with wild cheers by ttla spectators.

Sir Edwin Grey Replies to Questions That
 Had Been Asked.


 London, March 4.-In the house of commons to-day Sir Edward Grey, par liamentary secretary to the foreign of flee, said, in reply to a question on the subject, that Great Britain has no diplomatic representative at Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. British in- terests there, he said had been for some time in charge of the German representative. The British govern ment were ready to take steps for an amicable arrangement of the differences existing between the two countries and had communicated that fact to Vene- zuela in 1890 and again in 1S93 The latter communication had never been answered by Venezuela and Great Britain must therefore, maintain the provisional boundary settled upon, which, however, does not embrace the whole of the British claim. Venezuela has been informed that Great Britain is willing to submit the question of possession of the territory outside of the Schooberg line to arbitration, but that she could not agree to arbitra- tion in regard to territory which has long been settled as part of the British colony.
 Sir Edward Grey, referring to the labors of the Armenian commission sittingat Moosh, said that in conse- quence of representation made by the European delegate steps had been taken to provide the commission with an addition dragoman. The commits sion, he said, would have every possi- ble assistance to prevent interference with the inquiry and to secure it's effi- eiencyy
